Oni Ninja

[Carl Gleba]

I don't really think there is anything to base it on? I might double the life span.

I looked at Gargoyles who are probably minor supernaturals (nothing on the Brodkil I saw) and they live 300 to 500 years (CB1) but some live for thousands (I would imagine these are the Lords/Mage types).

does RUE contain definitions of what Creature of Magic & Supernatural creatures are ? Does it mention lifespans ?

it does in fact.

All Supernatural creations are, by definition, Immortal.

Undead Slayers?

Apparently.

I don't necessarily _agree_ with it, but that's the rule.

not only that, if they are reduced to 0 or less MDC in any dimension other than their native one, they are not killed, they are just automatically snapped back (same way demons work in D&D)

I definatly don't agree with that, but again, it's the rule.

[Daikuma]

the lifespan of Oni (non-ninja) is about 200 years, however Oni Ninja training makes them become supernatural creatures.

what effect would this have on their lifespan ?

triple it ?

quadruple it ?

make them effectively immortal ?

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long...maybe it shortens it? How is that for game balance?

it's not.

[Braden Campbell]

I'd say no change, as most Ninjas and Superspies characters can pull off amazing things, but don't get tripple the number of years added on to their lives.


Now, there might be a few Oni Ancient Masters out there who could put you in the dirt before you can hurl an insult...

Significantly reduce it because they probably get killed.

Altess are not supernatural creatures, they are genetically enhanced. Their supernatural attributes are more akin to a mortal being like a grackletooth or the CS Janissary in Rifter 28. They are merely the full realization of human potential. Their enhanced lifespans are the result of genetic manipulation and great medical advances.

Its in Dimension book 5, three galaxies.

[shadrak]

Anvil Galaxy, rather.

I would suggest that you use the Altess as a foundation for making this calculation. They are essentially a supernatural version of humans. I don't have the correct book in front of me, so I can't do the calculation. However, taking the Altess lifespan and dividing it by the average human lifespan in the Three Galaxies(120?) should give you something reasonable to work with.

No, they are genetically enhanced.

the Sea Titans ARE litterally defined as the supernatural version of humans, and they are immortal. not to mention don't need niggling little things like food, water, or air either.
