Necroscope Vampires
I was wondering if anyone had done a work up on these for 4th edition. I recently got my hands on the Masterbook supplement and was reading up on it. Never made it past book two, interesting idea, very poor execution. I think I want to introduce elements into a modern game I'm running, but I have no idea how to build the darn things.
Oh, and if anyone feel like giving the necroscope power a build.... Basically it seems to be speak with dead, raise dead, and being able to use and learn their skills all rolled into one.

Re: Necroscope Vampires
Never read the novels but just skimmed wikipedia.
Basically this seems to be Medium with Modular Abilities.

Re: Necroscope Vampires
In some ways Necroscope was an early forerunner of the "bureaumancy" genre, and in that sense GURPS Horror: The Madness Dossier is a descendant.

Re: Necroscope Vampires
This is how powers generally work. In this case "necroscope" is a focus for a psionic source power. You could make it a power in the Psionic Powers framework, or use a different structure.

Re: Necroscope Vampires
Hmmm. They were there at one point or maybe they were in a doc that's no longer there. Ah well. Sorry about that.

No problem, I tried to send him a message but my account was being aggravating.
