Player Notes:
Gremlin characters will be 50/50 characters. They will be litter-mates (ie brothers).
Each gremlin has a favoured technology (ie things with red flashing lights, things that go beep, screws, tasty plastics, etc). This doesn't mean that they are good with that technology just that they are drawn to it. Theoretically gremlins can live 50 years but practically 15 years old is old age. They are fully mature at 2 years old. They breed in litters and form pack/family structures that are very close. They may bond to human, fey or animals (usually to the dismay of the bonded creature) and will treat thier bonded creature as a rather dense sibling that should be looked after and made happy. Gremlins separated from thier family may adopt a replacement family in this way.
Gremlins are small (tiny?), about the size (and disposition) of a feral cat or smaller. They are fast and usually excellent at concealment. Given that this game is an all gremlin game I'm using gremlin size as a base size. Instead of the gremlins being small compared to humans, humans will be large compared to gremlins.
Gremlins speak gremlin, which sounds like a variety of churps, squeeks, and growls to most humanoids. Their language is simple and lacks jargon and abstract concepts. It also has a large physical and scent component which makes it difficult for humans/fey to learn. Gremlins generally don't learn other languages well as they don't have the attention span for it but they may pick up some words if exposed to humans/fey enough. Gremlins can be skilled mimics. They may recite what they hear (conversations, passwords, commands, etc) without any real understanding of the content. (ie mimics don't have to understand what they are mimicing)
Gremlins can fight with weapons but generally don't. They tend to be pack hunters and rarely hunt or travel alone. They can also cast magic and even (rarely) follow a magic path. Most gremlin magic is disconnected (ie no theme in the spell choices) and stand-alone (no multi-power pool). Stand-alone powers do not REQUIRE an RSR but may have one if the player so chooses (it can be any skill or characteristic roll). Magic paths work as normal.
Gremlins do stupid things, breed prolifically, and die young usually.

Date: 2006-12-26 06:30 pm (UTC)In the stats section the first number is the base (ie same as 10 for human) and the second number is the max (ie after buying up to this the stat to this point as per normal it cost double after this point) and the third number is the cost of creating the template changes (ie same as in the changeling template).
CHR= Base/ Maxima/ Cost
STR= 8/ 15/ -4.5
Therefore the base is 8 and you may buy up to 15 at 1 cp per CHR point. Two create this base/max for the template it cost me -4.5 points. This was used in purchasing the other changes resulting in a template that costs around 5 cp or so (I can't remember exactly) if you were purchasing it as a race template (ie just like buying a reglar race template like Demon).
However, for this game I said that you get everything in the gremlin package PLUS 50/50 points to spend.
This template is formated more clearly in the website archive (see link on profile page I think) in the race/warlock/ratcatcher package templates that were used for the original game. It might be clearer there. If it isn't then please ask for clarification.
