[MH] Inhuman Templates: Yōkai
I'm making a couple of Inhuman templates for MH campaign set on Japan and I want to share it with others, and ask for feedback for any perceived flaws.
Here's the first template for Oni. I'm also planning to make templates for Tengu, Yuki Onna, and Tsukumogami but I'm not sure I'll be able to complete the task this week... For those with Youma Yakou, I'm not using anything from it (like the Yokai meta-trait) on purpose. First question: How do you feel about racial talents being included in the racial template itself? I've considered adding "Raging Spirit" talent (covers Polearm, Two-Handed Axe/Mace, Two-Handed Flail, Intimidation and Forced Entry) to this one but I decided against it because: 1) It doesn't play well with Wildcards; and 2) I'm hesitant of creating tailored talents.

Re: [MH] Inhuman Templates: Yōkai
Looks good, I think I'd add Discriminatory Smell though. As for racial talents - you can do that sure. Just note that inhuman oni exchange X talent for points in Y wildcard when they take a wildcard skill that covers them and you should be good.

I'm starting a MH campaign in a few weeks. Two PCs have Japanese backgrounds so this is good.

Why do you suggest Discriminatory Smell? On one hand I like the idea, it would add a "wild" flair to the template and being a good tracker would make it more fearsome, but on the other hand I'm not sure where to get the points for it. My current intention is to reduce Regeneration to Regular and buy Discriminatory Spell with 10 points left to spend on something else. Fast Regeneration is good, but I felt it was somewhat crass so replacing it with Discriminatory Smell is probably a good idea. Quote:
Is there some youkai in particular you'd like to see? I was just going to make the most iconic ones because I don't know if there would be demand among my players but if you have any suggestion I can make it instead of Yuki Onna or Tsukumogami. |

Re: [MH] Inhuman Templates: Yōkai
I will modify the template that way then. I'll post it later together with the Tengu one. Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it.

Optional rule called 'Know Your Own Strength' that scales ST differently.
