Other good source to mine ideas could be Toxic Avenger comicbook, the heroes of it would fit right in to Mutant Future.<br /><br />http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/t/toxicrus.htmJonashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11838302056850766272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-61620870148872569902009-09-23T21:55:38.903-05:002009-09-23T21:55:38.903-05:00The story behind the story

Wizards are mutants with both physical and mental mutations. Ariel and that wussy guy from that episode (you know the one) are the only sorcerers that i recall i.e. mental mutants without physical deviations.<br /><br />Third, Ookla is <i>obviously</i> a mutant bear. Or a mutant mountain lion. Or maybe a mutant woodchuck.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-1842384267634028482009-09-23T13:50:17.736-05:002009-09-23T13:50:17.736-05:00The difference between the two classes is conceptu...The difference between the two classes is conceptual rather than mechanical. Demons can manifest physically and thus no one in the setting has any reason to doubt there existence. Gods don't make public appearances and can be subject to skepticism. As sketched out so far I can see the benefits of using a single mechanical implementation for both, but my guts is telling me that's wrong. I think I need to cogitate further on this.Jeff Rientshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493878980535235896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-28615322704319654912009-09-23T12:48:34.992-05:002009-09-23T12:48:34.992-05:00What's the difference (other than game mechani...What's the difference (other than game mechanics) between a Witch who made a pact with a demon and a Prophet serving a living god?<br /><br />Couldn't rules be crafted to merge the 2?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-16195250793118902372009-09-23T11:51:22.315-05:002009-09-23T11:51:22.315-05:00I'm still wondering what the REAL differences ...I'm still wondering what the REAL differences between Sorcerers, Wizards, and Witches would be.<br /><br />If you're just going for something Thundarr-inspired, why not just make one class? After all, Ariel still knows something about hi-tech (as I recall); she just doesn't have some an agenda for world domination. Also, didn't she say she learned magic from a wizard?<br /><br />Mechanically, I don't see why there needs to be a huge difference. Maybe just allow the standard Sorcerer class an option to mutate into Wizards. Or make the Wizard an NPC class (since they all see seem to be evil buggers).The_Mythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621186404597424842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-54521955668053672522009-09-23T07:33:10.974-05:002009-09-23T07:33:10.974-05:00In 3e
