Urban living legend help
Hello guys, how are you today? good i hope. so, here's the deal for today: been in a J-horror mood (and by the way, loved the new gurps horror! still have the second edition of it!) and found out this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z-B...eature=related, please, forget the cheesy name, the original one is Teke-Teke (the sound of her hands as she crawls around. so my problem is... i want to stat this vengeful legend... but... i don't know how! i mean, first, she has no legs, second she's fast! (she can outpass someone with legs) and mor important, she can cut a body in half with a single blow from her knfe, kama(sickle) or whatever blade she wields... So, if you guys would stat her, how would that be... (let's try to keep it more realistic as possible)

Re: Urban living legend help
Looks like she might even have Flight or Warp.
And I'd definitely give her an Innate Attack (Cutting), although you could accomplish the same thing with weapon master and cutting ST.

Re: Urban living legend help
This may be a sticking point. She's clearly a supernatural monster, so what precisely do you mean by "realistc"? Being able to slice a human torso in half with a single swing is hard enough with massive strength and the sharpest blades. It's really not believable to fit enough muscle mass in a creature of that size to accomplish the feat. We can stat it up, sure, but just know that we can either try to match what's shown in the clip, or match reality, but not both.

Re: Urban living legend help
sorry viera, my bad "engrish" sucks, what i mean by realistic is with more rules, leaving no loose ends.

Re: Urban living legend help
this just got me thinking. how would you do a power that, when someone thinks about you or does something, summons you?
think candyman or bloody marry. anyone that does the ritual correctly gets an interview with them, that doesn't end well. I think warp with trigger and limitation only to the person that triggers it? |

Re: Urban living legend help
She's undead, so she lacks FP, yet she makes reliable Move and Attack, so I'd give her Extra Effort Energy Reserve for Heroic Charge.
As for cutting through people's bodies, Id give her Melee Cutting Attack 6d, which makes average injury of about 30, and that enforces 2 death checks on HP 10 human. If she makes some not immediately lethal, but nasty deep cut sometimes, it makes her even creepier. And Jerander's suggestions on arms/legs are great.
