[Maelstrome]

The Baroque are beings that have been separated from reality. Because they no longer operate under the parameters of reality they can go beyond normal beings. The problem with this is because they are separate they lose there essence on a regular basis and must feed off the essence of others.

Now on to the rules.

baroques have essence drain and essence loss. essence loss is 1 essence per week.

new stat: Distortion. this limits a baroques powers in a similar respect that an adepts is limited by magic.
all baroque start with a distortion of 1. distorion cost the new rating in essence to raise.

baroques burn essence to recreate adept powers,cyberware,bioware,nanoware,weapons,and gear. when they recreate these things they lose the essence permanently.

a baroque cannot burn essence higher than distortion except when raising the distortion.

baroque powers
the essence cost is the same in power points for the adept powers and essence loss for ware. critter powers cost 3 essence, and free spirit powers cost 5. (per gm discretion)
a baroque cannot have more powers than distortion. a power cannot have a higher rating than distortion.
a baroques power manifest physically in a noticeably disturbing way.-1 die per essence spent for charisma linked tests.


the essence cost is .5 per dv or ap and .1 per rate of fire. bulles cost .01 per bullet. baroque weapons can affect astral forms.

baroque have a unique regeneration power. they regenerate 1 box of damage per.1 essence. if a baroque is effectively killed before regenerating they regenerate all damage and lose 1d6 essence and 1d6 baroque powers.
