Apocalyptic Forms
Revision as of 10:39, 12 October 2014 by imported>Emurphy (→Defilers (Lammasu))
- "Apocalyptic form", "revelatory form", and "visage" are all the same thing.
- Even if you only manifest one effect, you still count as taking your apocalyptic form.
- While in your apocalyptic form, physical and mental merits/flaws do not apply. (DPG 75) We interpret "fully" as "to any degree whatsoever".
- Custom apocalyptic forms:
- Demons can replace up to two low-torment and two high-torment effects of their apocalyptic form.
- Costs are per DPG chapter 4. (Some are clearly different names for the same thing. Shroud of Flames and Ink Cloud don't appear to be in DPG at all, they're both rated at 2.)
- XP cost is (10*difference) XP if the new effect is more points, free if it's same or fewer. This overrides DPG page 124. This is not available during chargen.
- Multiple form powers that improve the same stat cannot be stacked.
- Multiple form powers that improve two stats used together (probably attribute+ability) can be stacked.
