The Beauty of Entropy and The Fluidity of Creation

I made two (N)PCs recently. They were made to go well together. Made them with a Sci-Fi setting with some magic in mind but it shouldn’t be too hard to transfer them into any other setting.


Alys - The Beauty of Entropy (Level 1)

Attributes: Fortitude 4, Might 3, Logic 2, Will 2, Deception 2, Entropy 5
Defenses: Toughness 16, Guard 15, Resolve 12
HP: 22
Speed: 30’
Favored Actions:

  • No-Dachi/Staff Attack (Damaging, Melee) - Entropy (d20 + 2d6) vs. Guard (inflicts Knockdown Bane)
  • Shard of Entropy (Bane, Short Ranged) - Entropy (d20 + 2d6) vs. Toughness (inflicts Fatigued 5 Bane)

I hope this can be helpful for you when you’re looking for some quick characters, whether they’re NPCs or PCs. Feel free to change them up to fit your purposes as this is just an inspiration I wanted to share.

@Lithimlin, these are pretty cool. I’ll have to consider more how, exactly, they work together, but I’m sure I’ll get there :slight_smile:

A quick question, though, was it intentional to use Entropy on Alys’ staff attack? I would have thought it should be Might.

It was indeed intentional since she has a higher score in Entropy than in Might, but you can change it to Might if that is more logical for you. I imagined the staff or blade to be a manifestation of Entropy which is how you’d get it to work with that Attribute.

I know I have made a magus who uses energy as a sword attack and describe it as creating a sword made of fire to strike his enemies. the sword disappears when he is not attacking. If anything its a limit to using the attribute since he could be using it at range but is doing it at close range instead.
