Hey there! I’m wondering if anyone could give any advice for this character i have in my group of hunters. She’s a biologist, which i’m currently allowing her to use “the expert” sheet, despite not knowing of monsters. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Hey there!
Hey there!
Honestly, if she’s a biologist that has limited exposure to monsters before the start of the campaign, The Mundane is probably the best option.
One of the prototypical characters for The Mundane would be Butters from the Dresden Files, who was a pretty competent medical professional and coroner, but knew almost nothing about the supernatural until he got roped into Harry’s life.
The Oops ability is a good one for someone’s “mundane” life experience to turn up useful information from time to time.
don’t think about her in terms of her job but who the character is…an expert monster hunter who become a biologist to figure out monsters? Or a naive Mundane biologist who has stumbles across Bigfoot…
Jared Rascher A ton of her sheet is based mostly off the mundane, honestly.
Charlie Sounds like a Mundane!
Mark Tygart I guess so! Though, i am starting her off with Expert moves, since looking at the Mundane moves they don’t really fit her character’s personality.
Charlie Your creating a new playbook! Playbooks are based on monster hunting abilities and genre tropes…Maybe a Mad Scientist or Monster Hunting Scientist would be better? f37e053a-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com – sites.google.com/site/gamesteratlarge/home/monster_of_the_week_files/Mad%20Scientist.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1
Or a Costeau/ Carl Sagan biologist/doc film maker: f37e053a-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com – sites.google.com/site/gamesteratlarge/home/monster_of_the_week_files/snoop_revised.pdf?attredirects=0&d=1
Mark Tygart Sadly, no! unu

Mark Tygart Maybe! :’0
Charlie Nothing wrong with creating a new playbook…
When someone knows nothing (or very little) of monsters, I always assume it has the Mundane archetype, which reflects that kind of archetype in the story
