Slasher

Slasher is a horror rpg that allows players to make characters based off generic horror movie archetypes. And in the process slaughtering victims and generally causing trouble.

Characters are based into four genres and each genre has three classes.

Psycho (The likes of Jigsaw, Valentine, Scream)
Deformed (Freddy, Jason Voorhees, and other masked killers)
Creature (Swamp creature, Giant Spiders, Werewolves)
Undead (Vampires zombies and ghosts. hell yeah)

Heres what i have on it so far. All the classes are lined out and two of the Psycho Classes have full skill tree's

UPDATE: I added much to it. Now it looks much better. I reworked a few classes where it made sense.

Wraith Powers for Slasher

Wraith Powers

Notes : Wraiths can't effect or be effected by the living world unless they are materialized via Boo!,Spook,Posession,Come Across or Back in Black. Damage doesn't permanantly harm wraiths, only disrupts their powers to effect the living. Wraiths damaged by others wraiths or spirits only have their abilty to effect or be effected by even the realm of the dead disrupted. When the damage is healed the wraith can always haunt again.

Wraith normally can not touch or be touched by the living world unless the are materialized.

1:Haunt-Increased power at a specific location that acts as a connection between their near realm of the dead and the living world.
1: Boo! - temporarily materialize, speak or cause any small FX that causes fear in victims.

1:Poltergeist throw objects,start small fires, cause electronics to spark or malfunction, ect,ect. while remaining unseen and unheard.

2: Undead Affinity - Your fellow undead can always see and interact with you,vampires respect you and zombies obey you as best they can, areas with zombies, vampires or undead act as haunts, spreading your area of influence.

2:Spook combines Boo! and Poltergeist with more damage and increased fear.

2:Possesion- Temporarily take control of a body, Wraith takes damage as the body does,and has all the new bodies physical strengths and weaknesses, if the body had a soul the soul becomes a weak wraith for the duration, automatically successful for taking possession of zombies who can be controlled with out limit,if the wraith has Undead Affinity.

3 Chain Letter Curse - Wraith may now be seen on TV or monitors and/or heard through speakers and can psychically imprint audio,video,electronic or other media. this message causes fear,spreads the wraiths haunts or area of influence and curses all who come into contact with it, so that they must spread the message, by copying it a prescribed number of times or especially by forcing a prescribed number of other victims to view it,(thus spreading the curse) or die with in the same number of days. During this time the victims are at the mercy of the wraith. The Chain Letter Curse may also be combined with Knowledge from Beyond.

3 Knowledge from Beyond Wraith may now impart knowledge from beyond the grave that the living simply were never meant to know, this knowledge can grant occult powers as well twisting the mind of the victim, who now becomes a Cultist Leader or other killer twisted and cruel enough to ensure that all their victims become wraiths.

3 Come Across the wraith may now come temporarily cross over in some fashion, through a portal that causes extreme fear in victims and materialized may now interact with the physical world for a time. The portal lasts as long as the wraith visits and works both ways, although anyone that lives who crosses over the other way is immediately dead, now a wraith.

4 Spiral Curse Any one who is killed by the wraith or within the wraith's area of influence, automatically becomes a murderous wraith, spreading the area of haunts, the number of wraiths intent on killing the living and so on until the madness and death can consume entire towns, bringing the realm of the dead to earth.

4 Back in Black - Wraith comes across to stay with an undead body and horrible powers from beyond the grave, no longer a wraith, having physical form.

4 Hell's Lantern Wraith creates a light that only the dying and recently deceased see,the light comforts and attracts victims who believe that it will lead them to paradise, in reality they are like moths drawn to a flame, when they enter the light their souls are consumed,the light increases and the wraith is empowered.

More notes
Chain Letter Curse from "The Ring" (Japanese version) Sadako's curse was my other name for it Spiral Curse from the J-horror movie Uzumaki the Manga "The Spiral"
Hell's Lantern is from a dream I had and warps an old Spiritist belief, and the pessimistic view that the light at the end of the tunnel is just a freight train headed your way.
