More physical Nekos may have ST without HP, Striker, or add modifiers to claws. Some Nekos have supernatural Charisma or even vision or hearing based Mind Control.

Super Jump as well as Catfall and I could go on but I'd expect these Powers to be individualized. Maybe Prince Charon is looking for a list of possible Racial Powers but it's going to be long and I doubt anybody would have enough cp for all of them.

OK, I guess TGLS's idea, with or without Fred's addition, will be 3 when I post the Question, and this next one will be 4:

Dark Vision (Magic, -10%) [22]

Teleportation ('Only between shadows' or 'Only between unobserved locations').

Invisibility or another 'hide in plane sight' power.

Maybe other Shadow magics (e.g. Ally Group (Shadow daemons) or Telekinesis with 'user's shadow must touch target's shadow'), or some form of Illusion.

Nekomimi Question IVb

Which powerset do you prefer for the Nekomimis' racial magic? Whichever it is, the next question will probably be discussion of how to turn vague notes into a coherent template.

1. Spirit Cats

2. Nature Cats

3. Fur-varying-powers Cats

4. Shadow Cats

5. Something else (please specify).

Please remember to include the number of your preferred option when you vote.

*******

Answer: 3 has one vote, 1 and 4 have two each, and 5a had two, and won via my tiebreaker.

1, 3 and 4

Poll is still open, because one person is not a consensus.

Sorry, but you don't actually have my preference up there. I don't want _every_ Neko to have Magic Powers. I really don't want every Neko to have the _same_ Magic Powers, not even if there are multiple sets of Powers indicated by fur color.

What I would want is a base Neko Template with no Magic Powers and for _some_ Nekos to have totally individualized Magic Powers with a strong "Cat!" theme.

This just isn't an issue for Templates IMHO.

I agree with Fred here. Call this 5a: not all Nekos have magic, and for those that do it's personalized and cat-themed. So some have Chameleon, some have Silence, some have my suggested Catfall+ (based on Walk on Air, no damage from falls), etc. Some can certainly have more than one!

[Prince Charon]

OK, I appear to have phrased the question badly, since the idea in my head was that the Nekos have easiest access to this type of magic, not that they all automatically use it.

The version called 5a seems interesting, I currently read it as having two votes (Varyon's and Fred Brackin's), 1 and 4 also having two votes each, and 3 having one vote. If no more votes appear in the next few days (and RL doesn't interrupt me), I'll break the tie, but I'm not currently sure in which direction.

[Prince Charon]

OK, after much consideration, indecision, and a die roll that surprisingly gave the number that I was already leaning towards, I'm breaking the tie in favour of 5a.

So, the next Question should not be about magic, since it's too highly variable. I'm currently thinking that it should be something about their society or technology, leaning toward technology. Depending on how distracted I get, I should have it up tomorrow or the next day.
