Grigori of Knowledge

Notdan · 08-01-2014, 03:45 PM

At the risk of sounding like a Special Snowflake, I've been contemplating trying out a Grigori character for a while now, and I've also been very tempted by the idea of playing an old servitor of Raphael. It occureed to me: why not combine the two? It'd make sense for an old Angel who's "gone native" on Earth.

My question to you lot is: does anyone have any good or interesting suggestions for a Grigori of Knowledge choir attunement?

Considering that the Grigori were the closest to humanity, something having to do with teaching (sharing knowledge) might be appropriate.

ARPANET has Grigori of Revelations written all over it, and somebody somewhere is desperately trying to keep Mammon's paws off it. So something to do with sharing of information...maybe a talent for drawing out someone's knowledge? The ability to have a brief conversation with a person about a problem and lead the person to a solution they hadn't thought of before? The right Grigori, with a little attention, could turn anyone into Sherlock Holmes.

Off the top of my head, I might suggest something like: Grigori of Knowledge were humanity's greatest teachers. Anyone attempting to remember anything spoken to them by an angel with this attunement will realize that they perfectly recall every word of it.

Or, a spin on the Seraph of Creation attunement: With a Perception roll, an angel with this attunement can sense whether a person has any Knowledge on a particular topic. When they teach something new to a person, the target adds the angel's Ethereal Forces to any Knowledge rolls related to that topic.

Raphael was also known to convey knowledge of healing, if I remember correctly, so there could be something there too.
