I see mention of wings- does he fly? Or is that just a shtick?

The fifth hunter is revealed!

Whew! This one looks more reasonable, though I miss Flight.

Dunno. The even younger follow-up to Levi's presentation might have been a bit much. Maybe he would have worked better around Valentine's Day :)

What's a good word for humor+horror? humror? hourmor? hormor?

Hey! The real Outcast looks awesome!

In the spirit of getting back to things as normal, I have another question: Will vampires be innately magical or biological? Are both present?

Is "Abrahamic" normally a legal specialization of Theology? I'd have thought that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism needed separate specialties at the very least.

I am guessing they linked them due to the theme of MH. I.e. the difference between fighting a Christian versus an Islamic demon is very small when compared to dealing with an angry Loa. Familiarity penalties should suffice if a scholar of Abrahamic theology is not as broadly focused as the skill name suggests. YMMV

I think it's smartest to leave the joke posts locked, for those who come across them by accident while doing a future search. If anyone wants to discuss them further, feel free to do so in this thread -- since we don't have to keep the joke going, it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks a lot for pulling out the joke posts and putting them in there own locked thread. That's a very good move.

I don't see how wings but no flight is just a perk (however easily concielable they may be). Wouldn't they also be a supernatural feature? What are the game mechanics of this shtick? Are they intimidating when revealed? Give a reaction bonus?

Agreed. Unless the wings are non-functional. I'd think he should have Flight (Winged) or Flight (Small Wings). The latter seems more reasonable given the Shtick.

I imagine the lack of Flight isn't an error, I think the wings are just a switchable Unnatural Feature. Like in the (not in genre) film Micheal.
