Statting Shakugan no Shana
« on: February 21, 2012, 03:20:03 PM »

Watched the first season of Shakugan no Shana a while back. The third one is airing right now, so I'm working my way through the second one.

Fuzetsu and killing people retroactively can be assumed to be setting things, and thus including them in any builds shouldn't be necessary. Though if anyone can figure out a way to stat them, that would be awesome.
EDIT: The Shadow Wight and Frost Dragon from Bestiary of Krynn (3rd party) can kill you retroactively by draining you to 0 Cha.

Needs a little filling out (misceallaneous equipment + what maneuvers do you think best fit her fighting style?), but otherwise the title character translates pretty easily to D&D.

The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter, Shana (E6 build)
NG Lesser aasimarPGtF
ClassesSpecialFeatsManeuversEquipment
Swordsage 1Quick to Act +1Bloodline of FirePGtF,
Weapon Focus (scimitar)B
?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, Stonefoot Stance (Stance)Leather armor, Scimitar
Swordsage 2AC bonus-?, ? (Stance)Yogasa (Cloak of WeaponryMIC)
Swordsage 3-Celestial BloodlineRoF?Nietono no Shana (Desert WindToB)
Swordsage 4Discipline Focus
(insightful strike [Desert Wind])
-Mountain Hammer-
Swordsage 5Quick to Act +2-Fan the Flames, Giant Killing Style (Stance)-
Swordsage 6-Outsider WingsRoF?Cocytus (Candle of invocation)

It takes Shana a while to figure out how to manifest her Wings of Crimson - hence she doesn't get them here until lv6. With Bloodline of Fire + a candle of invocation, you can gate in Alastor (a fire elemental monolithCArc) when things get tough. But if Tenpa Jousai seems too cheesy, you can replace the lv1 feat with Avenging StrikeToB or something.
Practically speaking: raptoran is an easier way of getting a fly speed, especially if you're starting at lv10 or higher. Or you could go swordsage/sorcerer/jade phoenix mage with the Ascetic Mage feat, and gain flight through spells.

The Interpreter of Condolence, Margery Daw

Human Sorcerer 9
Feats: Craft Wondrous Item, Fiery BurstCM, Item Familiar, Primitive CasterFrost, ?
Spells
0 - Arcane mark, Detect magic, Flare, Light, Read magic, ?, ?, ?

Equipment: Grimoire (Item familiar/Minor schemaMoE of greater floating diskSpC)

Never seen the show/read the novels? Margery is an alcoholic magic-user with a snarky spellbook who fights by turning into a "wolf" (it looks more like a bear) that breathes fire and creates illusionary duplicates of herself. Yes.

His build would be different later, this is what it's like at the end of Season 1.

Sakai Yuuji

Elan Psion 12
Abilities: Int 10, Wis HIGH
Feats: Deep Impact, Elan Retainment, Psionic Meditation, Psionic Weapon, Skill Focus (Psicraft)
Equipment: Azur (ring of energy immunity [fire]), Blutsauger (+X deep crystal greatsword of wounding)

Yes, he can't actually manifest powers. :p

For Mutants & Masterminds 2e:
Quote from: Fuzetsu
Paralyze (2pts/rank)
Extras: Action - Move (+1), Area - Burst (+1), Duration - Sustained (+2), No Saving Throw (+3)
Flaws: Limited - beings with low Power of Existence (-1)
Power Feats: Subtle - Mystic senses only (+1)
That gets you a 5ft-radius Fuzetsu for 9pts, which you can improve with the Progression power feat (i.e. 10pts=10ft radius, 11pts=25ft, etc.). You must spend two move actions to use it.

What to do for Wilhelmina? Her ribbons can grapple things, strike with tremendous force, weave themselves into solid walls or convincing duplicates of creatures, be fired as a spray of bullets or a giant drill, explode when touched/cut/after a delay...
Eldritch theurge maybe?

EDIT: Kelpstrand works well.
