%ew &ualities'

%atural (mpath

) point drawback, or * or +2 oint &uality

An (mpath is a mortal who can feel the emotions of those around her. "he (mpathchooses to either embrace the gift or reect it. f she chooses to reect her empathic abilities, theemotions easily will begin to o/erwhelm her. She feels emotions of e/eryone within a mile of her location. She can handle the emotions of up to ten people, but any more than that has anad/erse effect. 0or each additional ten people within a mile of the empath, she has a -2 to allactions, if there are more than a hundred people in the area she can do little more than cower andcry. "his is an ) point drawback.

An empath who embraces the gift has the ability to feel the emotions of e/eryone aroundher. "his power e1tends to a range of one mile. She has become accustom to the constant influ1

of emotions and has become able to ignore them to an e1tent, allowing her to be unaffected bythe emotions of those around her. At any time she may read the emotions of anyone she knowswithing the area, this reuires no roll and she can feel any emotions that the target is feeling."he ability to feel all the emotions of a target allow the (mpath to easier influence other people,she gains a 32 to influence rolls.

4hen an (mpath who has e1cepted the gift dies, she is gi/en the chance to return toearth and use her gift to aid and guide others as a %atural (mpath. "hese people often pose asteachers, mentors or clergy members in order to get close to people in need. A %atural (mpath5sgift e1tends to a number of miles eual to twice her willpower, but works in all other ways like

her original empathic gift. She retains her 32 to influence rolls and also gains a number of other abilities. She is mmortal and gains 6 le/el of 7ard to 8ill #may ha/e up too + le/els$. She canalso heal people by concentrating the good emotions of those around her, she must concentrate

for one round and place her hands on the inured person, this heals 2 life points, this can bedone once per hour. An empath in the 9nderworld or any other demon dimension finds thisability se/erely limited, she can only heal * life points in a round and may only do this once per si1 hours due to the stress on her mind. Con/ersely, an empath in a 7ea/enly dimension findsshe is able to heal all wounds in one round and can also remo/e any poison, disease or mental

problem, and is able to do this once per minute.

4itch :octor 15 Point Quality

Witch Doctor: Let me guess, you were expecting someone with a bone thought the noseand a shrunken head necklace perhaps!5:1" #bsessions

4itch :octors are sort of like metaphysical ;rken <en. "heir main purpose is toe1orcise spirits and poltergeists from locations that build up large amounts of spiritual or magicalresidue, like the Charmed ;ne5s home. 4ell not e/il, 4itch :octors are not abo/e murder if



they feel it will further the greater good, leading a number of good beings to a/oid working withthem if possible.

4itch :octors possess the following abilities'

l Calling - A 4itch :octor can call an item she can see simply by thinking aboutit. "he item must be small enough to fit in the palm of her hand, it disappears

from its location and reappears in her hand instantly.l (1pel Spirits - =y making a 4illpower 3 ;ccultism roll a 4itch :octor can

destroy a poltergeist, the poltergeist resists with a 4illpower roll. >hosts can also be

destroyed in this manner, but they get a 32 to their 4illpower roll to resist.l 7e1 - 4ith a simple ritual a 4itch :octor can cause a persons character flaws to become an obsession. "o do this she needs an obect belonging to theintended target, she then creates a poppet #a small doll$ and attach5s the item toit. She then performs a fi/e minute ritual ending with dropping the poppet intoa bubbling cauldron. At the completion of the ritual the /ictims eyes glow for a second and then the he1 takes effect. "he /ictim gains the ;bsessiondrawback associated with her biggest character flaw. "he obsession lasts until

the 4itch :octor ends the he1 or the character o/ercomes the obsession,through some maor role playing.l "eleport ? A 4itch :octor can teleport instantly to the lodge that he wastrained at.l Contacts #Supernatural ? 2$ All 4itch :octors ha/e a two pointsupernatural contact in their lodge brethren. "he character may increase thisle/el through normal means, but all 4itch :octors ha/e at least this le/el.l ;bligation ? All 4itch :octors belong to a lodge, or group of 4itch:octors. "hey are e1pected to obey the orders of the elders and possibly gointo dangerous situations in the name of her lodge.

%ew 4itch owers'

:eflection@ oint &uality

;ne of the most powerful of 4itch abilities this allows the witch to deflect any4itch ower or :emonic ower back at its user. She must be aware of the attack to be

able to deflect it, any attack she is unaware of is defended against as normal. A 4itchwith the Situational Awareness uality is allowed a %otice 3 erception roll before theattack if the roll is successful she is able to deflect the power, failure means the attack isdefended against normally.

All 4itch ower &ualities and :emonic owers are deflected by this power, ithas no effect on physical attacks #fists, swords, guns$. Any being who5s power isdeflected, must immediately defend against their own attack at a -2.



(nergy =all, 0ire =all, Acid Spray@ or B point &uality

#%ote' "he following supersedes the rules found in the Charmed > Core %etbook.$

4ith this power a witch can proect a dangerous substance from her hands#chosen when the uality is taken$. 0ireballs and (nergyballs appear in the witches handand are then thrown at the target, Acid is sprayed in a et toward the target. "his reuiresa :e1terity 3 4ild Card #(nergyball, 0ireball or Acid spray$. "he @ point power deals anamount of damage eual to the willpower of the caster per success le/el the B point/ersion deals twice willpower per success le/el. =oth powers ha/e the same range as a pistol. All /ersions of this power are considered to deal fire damage.

"ransmogrificationB oint &uality

"he ability to transform your /ery essence is one of the most co/eted powers.4ith this ability a 4itch can shape her essence, allowing her to transform into anythingfrom the siDe of a large book to a small car. 4ell assuming the form of an inanimateobect, she sees and hears what is going on around her, and has no need to breath of eatwell in this form. "his power also allows the 4itch to assume the form of animals andother people. A witch who assumes an animal form, gains the physical abilities of ana/erage member of the species. She can also make herself appear as an e1act duplicate of any person known to her, though she must ha/e a picture of the person she wishes to look

like. She gains the physical characteristics of the person #physical ability scores andAttracti/eness le/els$, but none of the targets supernatural or trained abilities #Sorcery,"elepathy, Situational Awareness, etc.$.

"he 4itch may stay in a transmogrified form for as long as she wishes and canswitch between forms at any time. f she is killed well in an alternate form, sheimmediately re/erts to her natural form, but remains deceased.

otion Craftotions are an important part of life for any witch, whether it5s a potion to create smoke,

attract a lo/er or /anuish a powerful demon. <ost potions are made as part of a Eanuishingspell, meant to destroy a demon but potions can be used to do a great deal more.

Creating a potion works the same way as creating a spell, e1cept potions always ha/e acasting time of FitualG length #3 modifier$. otions are also slightly more difficult to create#3+ power le/el$ than a comparable spell, due to the witch trying to bind powerful forces withina small /ial of liuid.



"he witch makes a 4illpower 3 ;ccultism 3 Sorcery roll, if she acuires a number of successes eual to the ower He/el of the otion she succeeds in creating the potion. 0or e/erysuccess le/el she acuires in e1cess of the number she needs, she has brewed enough of the potion to use more then once she gets one additional potion for each e1tra success le/el, to ama1imum number of e1tra potions eual to half her Sorcery le/el rounded down.

0or the potion to take effect it must come into contact with the target, either by poring it

on the target or throwing a /ial of it at the target. "hrowing the potion reuires a :e1terity 3>etting <edie/al roll /ersus the targets dodge success means the potion /ial has broken on the/ictim, failure destroys the /ial and the potion without effect.
