[Attunements] New Creation Attunement: One of Us
One of Us
This attunement works the same as Asmodeus' "Humanity" attunement, described in the core rules. An angel using it becomes the equivalent of a 5-Force human (with all the needs, vulnerabilities, and advantages of humanity) for the next 24 hours. He loses access to all Songs, resonances, and attunements during that time; but he cannot gain new dissonance or cause Symphonic disturbance either. If an angel under One of Us is killed, his spirit enters Heaven via the Pearly Gates as a human soul would; however, a fellow Creationer can guide him back to the right Heart in Eli's Cathedral. NOTE: If the GM has ruled that the Humanity attunement makes demons the equivalent of Hellsworn mortals (6-7 Forces, limited Song access)...then One of Us should work similarly, making angels the equivalent of a Soldier of God.

This would be a great way to pass for human. It could also be used as a training/correction aid, if an angel got a little too noisy with his powers. To learn a little humility by having to do without such special effects, he might see the hurdles mere humans face, and how bravely we face them.

Re: [Attunements] New Creation Attunement: One of Us
Hm, I had posted, but obviously my post got Valefor'd somewhere along the way...
Anyway, I really like! As a snack for thought, Eli is the only guy without dissonance conditions - what if they gain certain dissonance conditions when in human form? Maybe with the dissonance only coming to bear once they change back... And another random thought - speaking of Asmodeus, it just occurred to me that maybe there could be an alternative deception trick for the Gamers: I would call it "Bluff": you change a human, or otherwise entirely mundane character, into a celestial. At least, as far as appearances are concerned. The demon imbues the human with the ability to perceive disturbance, create disturbance, and sing any Song the demon knows, at the demon's skill level. Also (speaking from Gurps IN) his attribute levels are adjusted, in vanilla IN I guess he would gain "pseudo"-forces. Finally, the will occasionally speak Helltongue, which is likely to liven up their surroundings greatly... The idea behind it is that you find some dupe and give them the power for 24 hrs - he/she will find themselves casting songs intuitively (Song of Attraction on that sexy co-worker), using heightened attributes ("this damn xerox machine!" *bash* *sickening crunch* "woops...") and hearing all kinds of strange stuff. The clumsy way any human is likely to react to suddenly finding they have superpowers will draw out any celestial, ethereal or renegade (!) within miles. You know the renegade Calabite is in the office building, but you don't know where? Afraid he will roast you when you come close? Here's your solution. After he roasts Alan from Marketing, you can bag him easily :) Also works nicely when combined with Humanity, needless to say... |

Did I mention I like dark humor (and Dark Humor)? Imagine if the poor human casts Songs not intuitively but accidentally? --hums a happy tune and suddenly finds himself whizzing through the office, six inches off the floor-- (Corporeal Motion)

Re: [Attunements] New Creation Attunement: One of Us
Sounds like one that not only fits Dark Humor, but Nightmares as well. :)
