31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters
30: Neo-Slayer
This came up as a plot point in a game I was running a few years back. The ability to empower slayers has been lost for millennia and is now out in the world again.
It presumably still only works on Potentials, but somebody could still use the magical aftereffects to try and make knockoffs.
It’s something that people have probably been trying for millennia too.
(And other empowered people can certainly exist, using the Slayer Quality as a template. The Slayer’s Handbook introduced Totem Warriors as an example.)
So how would you deal with someone you know suddenly, and possibly temporarily and/or dangerously, getting a near Slayer level upgrade?
I know from personal experience that the combo of White Hat Drama Points and Slayer powers is kind of borked, but in a game with multiple Slayer-ish types it’s not so noticeable.
The Slayer’s Handbook also had an optional rule for some Slayer powers being modular to affect the price of the Quality, as Buffy famously “didn’t hone” to use that vamp radar they’re supposed to get. So a nearly-Slayer might be missing such boosts too.
Casey Ryan
Type: White Hat
 |
| Bella Shepard |
Description: didn’t used to prowl like a tiger
Example quote: “Maybe I’m not the name brand, but nine out of ten vampires don’t live to tell the difference.”
Casey was ritually empowered with a transfusion of a slayer’s blood and a day and night holding a weapon that was used in the Battle of Sunnydale High. The witch responsible believes the power will last for a year and a day, and might kill her when it runs out. But she’ll take the chance.
