Promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download
The New World of Darkness ' first attempt to do something different from its predecessor, in the form of "Frankenstein's Monster: The Roleplaying Game". You are a Promethean, an incredibly rare unliving creature not undead; Frankenstein's monster wasn't a zombie stumbling through the World of Darkness.
In lieu of a soul, you have a storehouse of purified Pyros, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download, the Divine Fire from which all life springs, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download, but which isn't meant to exist in such a concentrated form.
As a result, its radiance burns all around it, causing reality itself to hate you - and that's not hyperbole. See, the Pyros within Prometheans produces an effect they call Disquiet, which causes mortals and other supernatural beings to feel uncomfortable around you at the best of times and slowly drives them to despise you.
Though the Divine Fire hides the monstrous appearance of a Promethean most of the time, it can't completely conceal their true nature, so Disquiet becomes an inevitability with all but the briefest of interactions with others. Even worse, at its most advanced stages Disquiet becomes contagious, turning entire communities against a Promethean they might have never even seen. In fact, even hanging around in one place for too long slowly corrupts the very land you walk on - a phenomenon dubbed the Wasteland that amplifies Disquiet and eventually builds up to a Pyros-fueled "natural" disaster called a Firestorm.
Your goal, then, is to master the understanding of humanity. Through this, you can use spiritual alchemy to hone your Azoth the power of the Divine Fire honed into a form suited for creationand eventually transmute it into a human soul, giving up all your mystical powers to become just an ordinary human Promethean has the dubious honor of being the NWoD's equivalent to Wraith: The Oblivion or if you're generous, Mage: The Ascensionin that it's the game people read but don't play.
The setting is incredibly bleak, even if the tone the game is trying to go for is optimistic since it is canon that you can achieve the New Dawn and become human Especially when that squishy human then has to live in the World of Darkness. In a way, it's the most Humanity Fuck Yeah fanboyistic of the Chronicles gamelines.
Yes, you play as a super-powerful golem ala the Frankenstein's Monster archetype, but the whole point of the game is "all this power is meaningless because You're Not Human", with the drive of every single campaign being to find a way to ascend from your cursed state to the blessed form of humanity. UntilPromethean was also the only game that did not have an earlier version in the Old World of Darkness. Geist is more of a spiritual successor to Wraith, as they deal more or less with the same subject.
Orpheus is the only unpaired in the Old World of Darkness, but it deals with the underworld and is more akin to Wraith and Mummy. It since had to share the position with Beast: The Primordial and Deviant: The Renegadesalthough the former can be somewhat argued as a rework on the core concept of Changeling: The Dreaming.
It weakened the relentless bleakness a bit : Firestorms, for instance, purify Wastelands making the mechanic for summoning one something that's not a sublimatus might actually doand Torment in general has been eased up a bit, to make actually developing relationships with humans a bit easier. Lineages are the "racial" splat; they describe where a Promethean came from: how was it created? What is its view of the world? Mechanically, they serve to determine elemental affinity, primary humor the body fluids thought to determine personality in the past, and promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download the case of Prometheans their general personality typeTorment how the Promethean snaps when aforementioned humors go out of controlDisquiet how humans freak the fuck out over their existenceWasteland how the world itself freaks the fuck out over their existenceand general outlook as well as giving Bestowments racial boons.
As their name suggests, the Frankensteins are made from pieces that were put together. Most frequently of human bodies, but they can also include nonhuman or even inorganic parts.
Because of their fractured nature they can be quite contrarian, questioning everything they see to learn from it, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download. They see their existence as a challenge, fully putting their abilities to the test. They revel in such challenges, willing to take them on to test and expand their limits.
This makes them rather forceful and zealous in nature, albeit as bitter, angry, and vengeful as the first of their kind who is still around and answers to the name of "Mr. Verney"- in-universe, Mary Promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download originally got the story of Frankenstein and his Monster from the Bride of Frankenstein, who became a Centimanus.
Also like Frankenstein's Monster, a Frankenstein's Torment is simple, violent, rage- often at the things they love most. This very frequently ends up creating a vicious cycle in which the Frankenstein's Torment drives him to go too far in the name of revenge, only for the consequences to come back and bite him in the ass and push him further into Torment.
Their Disquiet makes people irritable and quick to anger, and eventually people come to view the Frankenstein as the source of all their problems. Finally, their Wasteland triggers violent thunderstorms and causes people and animals promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download to grow increasingly aggressive. The social ones, named after the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea.
Galateids are creatures of love for good and ill, from the purest of love to the darkest of obsession. They are prone to obsession and crave company of all kinds.
They aim to please, even if this means enduring abuse. Because of their closeness they gain insight into humans that the other Lineages lack, but they tend to fall apart when they're on their own, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download. The Galateid Torment exaggerates their need for companionship, making them prone to paralyzing insecurity and wild mood swings.
Their Disquiet creates obsession in people as well- as in "creepy stalker shrine" levels of obsession. Galateid Wastelands are similarly marked by extremes, especially extreme winds and extreme passions in mortals. The Osirians are the product of, you guessed it, Osiris. Much like their mythical progenitor, the Osirians are not whole. Though while the original lacked a dick, the Osirians can be missing just about anything on their bodies. The scholars amongst the Prometheans, they have great intelligence and mental fortitude with a knack for gathering information, artifacts and secrets.
They are emotionally distant though, which suits them just fine given their cerebral approach on their Pilgrimage. Osirian Torment takes their phlegmatic nature to an extreme, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download, causing them to become callous and manipulative; in such a state, others become little more than pawns to be used and disposed of. The Nephri Disquiet pushes people away from them at first, but with time they become fascinated with the Osirian, wondering what he might be- and then deciding the only way to know for sure is to dissect him and see what's inside for themselves.
Wastelands formed by Osirians are wastelands in a literal sense- rain doesn't fall, plants won't grow, and humans grow proud and overconfident.
AKA golems! Tammuz are, much like the Golem of Prague, inscribed somewhere on their body. This can be a Hebrew word written upon their forehead, or take the form of any holy or unholy phrase, or even tattoos promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download scars that will not go away.
The Tammuz are builders and creators. They start out simple building walls, digging wells but as they continue on their Pilgrimage their creations become more and more complex. Do NOT call them servants though, as the best way to turn a Tammuz violent is to disrespect its work, forego paying it for its work, or trying to enslave it.
Not working is an alien concept to the Tammuz and one of the most important and difficult things for them to learn. Being creations of words, Tammuz have a knack for language, and they often learn many languages while on their pilgrimage. Tammuz Torment can manifest in one of two ways- either an anxious restlessness that no amount of work can diminish, or a state of apathy in promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download they can't be bothered to do much of anything at all.
Disquiet caused by them causes this depression to spread to humans, who inevitably end up blaming the Named for it; it doesn't help that the Tammuz's words are always interpreted in the worst possible ways when this happens. Even nature seems to be depressed in their Wastelands, as dark clouds fill the skies and predators stop feeling the need to hunt.
Named after a Siberian shaman said to have been torn to pieces by spirits and reassembled from the remains. Ulgan are shamans, dealing with the spirits and ghosts all around them.
Much to their dismay, for the Ulgan want nothing more than to escape the constant attentions of the spirits, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download. This forces them into roles of diplomats to be able to handle the constant botherings by the denizens of the Shadow. This is because they are made from a dead body and ectoplasm, the stuff of spirits.
When not being constantly pestered, Ulgan reveal themselves to be quite macabre with a dark sense of humor. The weight of their burden is an extra risk to them, putting them at risk of becoming as irrational and capricious as the spirits themselves. Ulgan Torment brings with it a sense of detachment and isolation, causing them to eschew the mortal world for that of the spirits they would normally want to be rid of. Disquiet caused by Ulgan leads to a sense of paranoia and the feeling one is being hunted- specifically, by the Riven.
Their Wasteland causes the barriers between the mortal world and Twilight to grow unstable, allowing ghosts and spirits alike to enter and wreak havoc and undoubtedly annoying any werewolves in the area.
AKA motherfucking robots. Because they are machines they are, of course, beings of extreme logic and literal of nature. They were built with a purpose in mind, and an Unfleshed that cannot fulfill this purpose will frantically search for a way to do so.
However, they do not consider themselves tools despite them being built as such. Treat them as tools anyway and they are hit with a wave of emotion, which will frequently end with the offender getting an arm ripped off.
The most difficult part of their Pilgrimage is to learn how to be imperfect: how to fail, be bad, let their judgment cloud their minds and so on, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download. Eventually they must become truly free-willed and be a tool that they wield themselves. The Unfleshed's Torment can manifest in two ways, just like the Tammuz's: sometimes it comes in the form of embracing their mechanical promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download, becoming unemotional, obedient, and fixated on performing their original functions.
Other times it can make them dangerously violent in the same vein as a Frankenstein. Their Disquiet makes others view them as promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download instead of sentient beings- at best, they're useful servants and at worst, they're slaves whose expression of free will is nothing more than a malfunction to be corrected. The Manufactured's Wasteland similarly divides nature between the dominant and the submissive, while pushing people to act as methodically and repetitively as any machine.
Introduced in the 1e sourcebook Magnum Opus, Constructs are essentially attempts to take Prometheans to the more promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download idea of golems being made out of inanimate matter rather than corpse flesh.
If Constructs exist in your game, they essentially say that, yes, the myths of Galatea being living marble or the Golem of Prague being living clay are true. Being made of material has assorted benefits and drawbacks - stone or metal-based Constructs are armored but slower, for example - but the universal drawbacks are that they do not look human their Pyros just can't hide their Disfigurements and they induce Disquiet far faster. Other than this, though, they follow the "normal" rules for their parent lineage - Frankenstein, Galateid, promethean the created 2nd edition pdf download, Osiran, Tammuz or Ulgan.
Although a Construct can be made out of any material, each Linage has a particular material that "resonates" with them, imposing the least penalty to attempts to create a Construct offspring:.
In 2e, the writers realized that there wasn't really that much of a difference in terms of concept space between the Constructs and the Unfleshed, and so they were quietly folded together.
The term is still used, but it's clarified that it's the general nature of the generative rite that defines the Lineage e. Byproducts of freak accidents in which enough Pyros manifested near a corpse to bring it to life as a Promethean; sometimes even the corpse isn't needed. All other Lineages describe them with variants of "What the fuck are you? They come from many different backgrounds without any rhyme or reason to them. Most of them however are created through fate or sheer luck, others seem to be the embodiment of some location as if they were elementalsothers still seem to resonate with some kind of disaster.
As a result, many Extempores have Humors and Elements that don't match, or may have more than one of each. It's not known for sure if they're even capable of reaching the New Dawn, due to the often inexplicable means in which they were formed and their disconnection from the Azothic memory that gives Prometheans an instinctive knowledge of the Pilgrimage.
Extempore Torment, Disquiet, and Wastelands can take as many forms as the Matchless themselves. They were introduced in 1e, in the Magnum Opus sourcebook, but got updated to the corebook of 2e.
Their creation rules in 1e were fairly handwaved, but they received much more detail in 2e. When America's poor farming practices combined with the droughts of into a disaster that saw topsoil blow away in huge dust storms, sparking a famine that devastated the nation, a new lineage of Prometheans arose from the wastelands that consumed the Midwest.
