Appearing In
Slasher
A wild, crazed-looking man in a straight-jacket and old-timey psych-ward cage helmet. His arms are free, his nails wickedly sharp.
Local Lore: There's some debate among locals as to whether Mahoney was the real ringleader of the group of sickos, or an orderly was. He was responsible for taking the kids to and from shock therapy, a job he's said to have enjoyed. The kids got him in a straight jacket, strapped him to the table and hooked the wires not to his head but to the frame of an 'anti-biting' cage some patients thought to be dangerous would be made to wear. It slowly and brutally fried him. Strange electrical occurrences get blamed on him.Components and Weaknesses
Components
- Surprise!
- Can attack before anyone knows he's there, negating the 'First Fail' of PCs and allowing a one-shot kill. Can be countered by the Danger Sense perk.
- BZZZZZZZZZT!
- He can attack everyone in the room with electricity. Brawn roll to resist. Failure to resist does 1-3 SP loss.
- Electro Shock
- He can attack up to four people at once with electricity from his hands. Brawn roll to resist. Failure to resist does 1-3 SP loss.
Weaknesses
- Manifest Flesh
- Ghosts that manifest to harm the living can be harmed in turn. Guns stagger them, for instance, and physical trauma has an impact. It is unkown if this can KILL them, or simply slows them down.
- Taste of Their Own Medicine
- Attacking a ghost with their own weapon can land a killing blow that destroys them. (Major Weakness)
