Book of Knots - Creatures Name: Origami Master Presence 14 PHY 13 STR 16 BLD 01 CON 13 REF 13 COR 13 REA 13 AGI 13 INT 11 RES 11 MEM 11 WIL 11 DP 30 Minor Major Critical Wounds 10 30 60 Move 7y/s float Grapple 17/14 Description: The Origami Master is a floating wraith with green eyes and an exoskeleton made of folded paper. The exist partially outside of the regular three dimensions and can use their talons to twist and fold space-time to turn their opponents inside out. They are traditionally Chessboard Three monsters who often act in the service of the Caretaker Royalty. They may also appear as palace guard. Reflection: Origami Masters sometimes appear at a distance as gruesome hooded monks. Up close they appear as eerie moving shadows. Claw: The Origami Master’s claw attack does 15 PEN damage ignoring all worn armor (although it will not ignore Force Fields). Dhen Surgery: The term for Knot-Theory manipulations, if an Origami Master grabs you, for a second 5 REA Medium action, it can fold you. This is a resisted attack of Power 15 vs. CON Result Effect Minor Target takes 1pt of damage. Standard Major Critical Catastrophic 140 Target must make a Minor Wound roll, taking a Minor Wound’s worth of damage. Target must make a Major Wound roll, taking a Major Wound’s worth of damage. Target must make a Critical Wound roll, taking a Critical Wound’s worth of damage. Target is turned inside out, wrapped in impossible arcs and loops, dying horribly. Spectral Nature: Origami Masters can take an 8 REA Long action to shift from visible and “substantial” to invisible and “insubstantial” (they can pass through walls and such). They can teleport as an 8 REA Long action up to 100 yards. Damage Reduction: Origami Masters take a -4 Damage Modifier from all normal attacks (Twisted powers and Magic don’t count). This is applied before checking for PEN damage. DP 30 To Hit 14- To Be Hit -3 Armor Special Damage Special
Name: Punch Presence 7 PHY 12 STR 35 BLD 30 CON 12 REF 11 COR 11 REA 11 AGI 11 INT 11 RES 11 MEM 11 WIL 12 DP 45 Minor Major Critical Wounds 15 45 90 Move 9y/s Grapple 50/41 DP 45 To Hit 14- To Be Hit +0 Armor 6/12 Damage Mallet 38 IMP Description: Punches are giant, gruesome jack-in-the-boxes that carry heavy hammers. They serve the Caretakers on all levels of reality. They can be aggressive, cruel, officious, and (at best, usually) stuffy. They range from malevolent to merely arrogant. They move by sliding on the floor or, sometimes, jumping. They are often surrounded by soft, frightening music along the lines of nursery rhymes and children’s songs. Reflection: Punches usually don’t manifest directly on Chessboard Zero—their Presence is too low. They will often lurk on Chessboard One looking for an Infected to press into service if they have some message to be sent to someone on Chessboard Zero. Wherever they are there will be an increase in things like surveillance and bureaucratic cruelty and red tape. Sleep: A Punch can retract into its box and wait. It has a 13- Perception and, if someone comes close, they’ll hear pop goes the weasel. If the Punch detects them (makes the roll) he’ll spring out (often striking). Capture: If a target is caught in a Major Hold, as an 8 REA Long action the Punch can vanish with them, taking them back to their master’s abode. Name: Razor Blades Presence 3 PHY 12 STR 12 BLD 1 STC 15- REF 11 COR -- REA 11 AGI 10 INT 05 RES 05 MEM 12 WIL 12 DP 5 Minor Major Critical Wounds -3:1pt Move 5y/s 9y/s hurl Grapple -- DP 5 To Hit 12- To Be Hit -2/-2 Armor 2 Damage Slice 5 PEN Description: Two foot long flying razor blades (like the kind that fit into old-fashioned shaving razors—not straight razors). They travel in packs and often nest in filing cabinets or large electronic junction boxes. They fly through no obvious means and will slice their targets. Razor Blades are most often found on Chessboard Two. Reflection: The Razors are sometimes found as real discarded Razor Blades in the area. Meticulously seeking them and finding them and breaking them will make the Chessboard One (or Two) are safer. Hurl: The blades do not fly all that fast—but if they take an 8 REA Long action and reduce their chance to hit to a 9-, they can hurl themselves 9 yards. They will usually hover at range and then hurl themselves in. A subject can choose to either block/dodge or strike them on the way in. 141 Book of Knots - Creatures
