Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
I actually like having Terror be an additional effect on top of Transcendent. For a certain type of heart stopping, fearsome loveliness. Yes, Awe makes more sense for some types of characters, possibly for most. However, the old school nymph that could kill you with its beauty if you saw it unclothed might find a nice home snuggled up with a slightly retooled Terror advantage. Awe is nice for the "make people worship you" angle, but when you need to make somebody stop living with teh hawt... Terror is a good start.
Then Affliction. |

Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
Could we add whatever the secondary condition heart attack is called to transcendent? That way only those that fail or succeed, depending on how you look at, their reaction rolls gets overwhelmed into death?

Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
We could, but you might also want Switchable on that. I forget if Terror comes with Switchable automatically...

I don't *think* there is a "scared to death" option for Fright Checks.

Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
That would not be a legal modifier to Transcendent. Transcendent is just a reaction modifier.

Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
I believe what they get are Elderspawn to use the DF term. :D

Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
Yeah. You'd need an afflicton Aura with cosmic heart attack for that.

Re: Is Transcendent the limit?
Why Cosmic? Wearing metal 'glasses' should perfectly protect from the heart-stopping appearance. :)
