Thank you Warlok for the good laugh; I needed it! Let me thumb
through my Harelquin module and extract the good stuff- I
might be spoiling so I will try to put one of those control L
things in that give you the chance to delete now before I
spill my guts.
Gee, did it work?
This is addictive! :)
Harlequin:
"The player characters should walk away from Herlequin feeling
that they have been involved in the affairs of two people whose personal
power far outclasses their own. It is for this vary reason that neither
Ehran or Harlequin are given game statistics in the adventure. *They don't
need them.* Within the scope of these adventures, each has the power and
ability to perform whatever action he wishes.
Both Elves are full-powered hermetic magicians and initiates of
incredible rank (I thought Incredible rankings were left behind in Marvel
Superheroes RPG :) ) ... Give the players the chance to roll as many dice
as they wish in an effort to negate or counteract the spells. Let them come
oh-so-close and fail. The master story demands it.
Harlequin is chaos personified. His attitude, manner, philosophy,
dress, and accent are subject to change at a moment's notice. He is quick-
witted, but sometimes his wit depends on some obscure reference that
possibly only three other people in the world understand. He is quick to
anger, and equally quick to forgive... usually.
The gamemaster should play Harlequin as a wild, almost elemental
force. He is prone to rambling and raving on the most arcane subjects, but
what he says is often fascinating and relevatory.
Hope this helps...
