WE AM SMASH FOR VENGEANCE.

Ridiculous but awesome. Though, I don't need any additional inspiration to want to make a Ghost Rider Nightbane. I was actually thinking of a Talent, probably one of the greater talents, that would let you pump PPE into a personal vehicle, to alter and enhance it to fit your Morphus, a la Ghost Rider and his hell-cycle. Might be really complicated.

Transform Equipment
When selecting this talent, choose a single piece of equipment, when you transform into your Morphus form that equipment transforms to compliment your appearance. Any bonuses from your Morphus apply as applicable to this equipment (S.D.C. bonuses, SpD bonuses, resistance to damage types, etc.). The equipment is considered magical while transformed and regenerates damage at the same rate as your Morphus.
Limitations: You may only possess one piece of transformed equipment at a time, should this piece of equipment be destroyed permanently, you may then select this talent again for a different piece of equipment.
Cost: 30 P.P.E. are permanently spent to acquire it and 1 is spent during transformation to activate it. Acquiring this talent a second and subsequent times after the destruction of the equipment only requires a permanent expendature of 15 P.P.E..

For the motercycle you could mod the "steed/mount" feature from R20 for it.

Isn't that part of your Morphus, though? I was thinking something literally like Ghost Rider, where he can transform any vehicle (sometimes...) into a hell-beast ride for himself. One at a time, of course.

I like it! I'm not sure on the PPE costs and the bonuses though. A little extra SDC and Spd. feels a little underpowered, unless you have a crazy Morphus that stacks that stuff up really high. Then your ride is better, but if you don't, then you have a massively expensive Talent that mostly only provides cosmetic changes and minor increases. I'm also not sure how to add Spd. bonuses to vehicle, really. Most Nightbane aren't that fast, so a Spd. boost to their MPH would be very minor.

I was thinking more of you being able to dump PPE into the talent to enhance the vehicle, with some base improvements to it. Like, you would have your bonded vehicle, and it would change to it's Morphus form when you do, and gets the bonuses like you suggested in that Talent. But then you can pump it with PPE to make it faster, stronger, drive up walls, across water, stuff like that.

I was also thinking of requiring a Biomechanical Morphus feature to take it, but not sure if I want that. It makes thematic sense, but sort of spoils the overall idea of bonding your chosen ride to your Morphus. Then it sort of defaults to something mechanical, which it already is.

Hmm, is there a familiar Talent that does something similar to an animal? I need to get the Rifter with the Talent Shaper. Talents are hard to balance...

Are you forgetting the base changes from your Morphus? you know the +10 to PS PE and SpD and +6 to PP, adding 10 MpH to a vehicle is nothing to sneeze at

That's definitely a good inspiration for a NB form. I think I've said this before, but I usually go to both the Shadow Hearts series and the Shin Megami Tensei Series for NB forms. The later I also use for my Shifters summoning list.
