Clearly you want a patron for a PC and so you are after someone a little less genocidal. Bear in mind that the Muspelli were designed as enemies for the Order of Hermes (or the world in general) and so antagonistic patrons make more sense. I'm not really seeing this with your proposed patron.
The key thing about a Jotun patron is that they want to destroy the world. From the supernatural flaws list, Age Quickly or Horrifying Appearance look best. Essential Flaw (from RoP:M) may work if you can find a way of wording it that will hamper the Muspelli in human form. So either you'd be looking for no hands (perhaps the patron lost his hands to the Aesir in battle) or inventing a new major General flaw or imposing Blatant Gift (the wise giant is so obviously magical even shapeshifted he repels everyone).Ĭhecking /pdf_storage/ArM5VFIndex.pdf for a list of general flaws not in the main rulebook, Leprosy (from HoH:S) or the Falling Evil (from Grogs) might work. Dwarf is terrible for people with giant powers, Magical Air can't be taken by those with the gift, Poor is moot as wizards tend to fall outside normal wealth/poverty rules. (The exception is horrifying appearance, as a three-headed giant will suffer the penalty in human and jotun forms).The major general flaws not used are Dwarf, Magical Air, No Hands, Poor. The initiatory major flaws so far are all quite horrific (blind, deaf, mute, crippled, enfeebled, no self-confidence) so as to make a player pause for thought before they take the virtue, but as General flaws don't apply in Jotun-form so your big bad NPC is unaffected while rampaging as a giant. And if anyone has though of new Muspelli patrons as well, I'd love to hear about them too.
I'd appreciate any thoughts and suggestions you have on this. Initiatory Major Flaw: (Not sure on this one, maybe Driven? Any ideas would be appreciated!)Ĭommon Virtues: Animal Ken, Educated, Good Teacher, Student of Realm(Magic), Well-Traveled, Common Sense, Arcane Lore. Either: Second Sight and Valgaldrar (from Leikin) or:Threads of Fate and Premonitions (from Urdur)
Vafthrudnir's followers have an interest in the Order of Hermes and their secrets, which can either lead to confrontation or cooperation with Magi of the order, depending on the Muspelli and Magi in question.įavored Powers: Shapeshifter(sometimes, a fresh, inhuman perspective is needed to make breakthroughs), Sjonhverfing(Sometimes one must obscure knowledge from others), Entrancement(To force others to reveal what they know), Spadomur(obviously). When summoning the aspect of Vafthrudnir, Muspelli must be prepared to share with, and hopefully impress, the Jotun with knowledge they've uncovered since last summoning.
Whether generalists or specialists, Muspelli of this patron show the same lust for knowledge as their master many like to prove themselves as more knowledgeable than others, either through competitions or teaching. Urdur is also considered an important font of knowledge thanks to her prophecies.įollowers: Those who serve Vafthrudnir tend to be travelling scholars, venturing out of the frozen reaches of northern Europe to gather knowledge of the world at large. Gandur: A wooden staff with runic carvings of the history of the Jotun along the length.Ĭlosest Allies: Losing a contest of wits due to not having knowledge possessed by the dead, Vafthrudnir now consults with Leikin to learn from the underworld's denizens. (I dont have a general discription of him yet because I'm unsure where he'd fit in Ars Magica's version of Norse mythology.) (There is a wikipedia article on him, but since this is my first post, can't link it, haha) Here's what I have so far, presented in the format featured in Rival Magic. The character is meant to be a potential enemy or ally based on how the party interacts with him, and his patron I'm thinking is going to be Vafthrudnir, the jotun whom Odin challenges to a quiz, and eventually beats by Odin asking him a question that only Odin or the dead Baldr could answer. I'm thinking about introducing a Muspelli character into the current Saga I'm running, and as none of the patrons really fit the concept of the character, I figured I'd try my hand at making my own.
