Cosmoknight reformation...

Unread post by Kryzbyn »

I have a question for ya'll.
When a cosmo knight is chosen/accepts the role, he is "reborn" to the point of rolling up new stats, etc.

So what if the creature was a TA before? Does he lose all his racial abilities? Where do his racial abilities go? Wouldn't that make him stand out among his kind? Or any other non-supernatural being with extraordinary abilities, but nornal for his race, do they lose them as well?

What do ya think?

I think all those things that are lost are what he or she must consider before accepting the Forge's call.

Yes, they would loose all racial abilities.

Being a Herald of the Forge is not without its cost...

Well, with TA's they are technically mutant humans, so a TA called to the Forge would appear to be and act as a human.

I know there's a cost, but plausible deny-ability would demand that he could pass himself off as a member of his own race...

This would greatly explain why the Forge avoids supernatural creatures, but not all races that have extra abilities (noro, for example) are supernatural. A Noro CK would be the only non-psychic on his planet...does that make sense for the Forge to do that?

Possibly done on purpose as part of testing the new CK's mettle?
I like that answer.

Well, I had in a game once where a wulfen quatoria was approached by the forge.
He would obviouly not be a borg anymore, so others who knew him would realize something was up...
So now the question is HOW far does the forge change a person?

In the new Q&A, you can find the answer.
Wolfen, for instance, keep their keen senses.
Eyes without life, maggot-ridden corpses, mountains of skulls... these are a few of my favourite things.

Is there a Q&A forum? :oops:
Can you provide a link to that thread?

TA can not be physically transformed by any means. I will take that as they are not eligable for CK's

From the first timei I glimpsed the Cosmoknight, Silver Surfer jumped into my head. Basically a cosmic entity (benevolent in this case) forges a new being. I think they are pretty cool just have never got around to playing one.

I would allow a TA cosmo knight. They would just lose all of their RCC stuff.
Since it's a choice, and the Atlantean is given time to think on it, if he agrees the Forge turns him into a CsK. No biggie. The only problem could be a TA with an existing OCC, like Undead Slayer. They are considered supernatural creatures, so no dice. Forge won't even approach them.
In essence, he'd just be playing a nearly 7 ft tall greek human, who happens to be a CsK.

I've still have to work the details on the Bi-Form Killer Whale CK. But it's in the works!
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"

"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."

"As you will it, your Grace."
