Possession
by John Walter BilesPossessions are grey undead spirits which resemble clouds. They possess objects, specifically those connected to tragedies and death. They feed on tragedy, death, and disaster and will use their powers to spread catastrophe everywhere. Their precise powers vary according to what they are controlling. A few examples are presented below. They can possess people who pick them up or control them; this is basically a plot device to be used on NPCs.
Possessed Cloak, Level 8 Lurker
Medium animate clothing accessory XP 350

HP 71; Bloodied 35
AC 20; Fortitude 22, Reflex 20, Will 20

m Whipcrack (standard; at-will)
Like a rolled up wet towel, the cloak rolls itself up and whips someone.

M Cloaker Attack (standard; at-will)
+11 vs. Reflex; 1d8+5 and the target is Restrained; this functions as a normal Grab and must be escaped as such. Except with regard to its Cloak of Displacement power, the Cloak must use normal protocols to pull any grabbed victim with it if it moves.

Only against a Restrained, Unconscious, or Immobilised target. +11 vs. Fortitude; 2d8+5 damage.
Cloak of Displacement (Immediate Interrupt when attacked; Refresh 5-6)
The Cloak wasn’t quite where you thought it was.
+11 vs. Reflex; The cloak shifts one and the attack misses. The cloak pulls any grabbed targets with it.

If the cloak is possessing someone, it uses its own Stealth or adds +3 to theirs if theirs is better.
