Princess: The Hopeful
 This article is a skub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it |
When they told you that you were a Princess, you felt your childhood dream had come true.
Sometimes you want to shake your childhood self, to make her see how much hard work it is to be a Princess.
They showed you how you channel your hope into magic.
You never imagined what magic really was like, how your own doubts could drain your powers or turn them against you.
They said you were going to help fix the world.
Some days, you can't even fix your own life.
When you told them how you felt, they said it was ok to take a break.
But it's not ok, because you could never forgive yourself if you let everyone down.
The nerds at RPGnet decided to make a World of Darkness splatbook for the magical-girl genre. This is WoD so it's gonna be more Puella Magi Madoka Magica or Sailor Nothing than Kiki's Delivery Service. Shit's gonna get dark, of course.
- Disciplines are Charms, Excellencies are Invocations
- Covenants are Queens's courts; Caitiff are Courtless Princesses
- Clans are Callings, there is no equivalent of Caitiff with regards to Callings
- Blood Potency is Inner Light
- Humanity is Belief
- Blood is Wisps (emotional potence, fuel for the soul-gem, etc)
Mechanically it is the bastard child of Exalted 2E and nWoD. Nobles (catchall name for Princesses, Princes and all the Light users) have Practical Magic which is a somewhat less broken version of Exalted's Excellencies. Basically every Court has their own idea of what's best for humanity and acting within that purview gives you extra dice based on your Invocation score. Nobles mainly use magic in the form of Charms (yeah) which like Exalted can be both hilariously broken or brokenly hilarious. A possible build has a Princess who has no other overt magical powers besides her carrying a bolt pistol, a chainsword and wearing power armour. Made of Love.
