Thread: Mr. Skin

    Mr. Skin

    I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Mask of Nyarlathotep called Mr. Skin. I have only heard a little bit about him but I haven't found much.

    I really think Chaosium just needs to make a book full of stats for the different forms of Nyarlathotep.

    Isn't he a pimp or something ?

    He was a pimp in one of the chaosium books I think, Nyarlathotep Cycle maybe? There's also the skinless one but that's very different.
    JoMo - P.S. I had Mehmet Makryat to tea. He's looking well.

    I believe that the "Book of Dark Wisdom" had a section with a bunch of different forms of the big N, if I recall none of them were taken from other books, they were all original.

    I almost clicked the link that Wood provided then realised that it may not be work-safe
    Cheers.

    Yep, it's blocked from my work site.

    Spoilers for Toying With Humans:






    For a scenario that uses that cat as the main baddy, check:

    ..."Funk-A-thulhu" has a group of 1970's investigators inquiring into the strange events surrounding the death of Sweet Suzie, a prostitute in Los Angeles.

    The characters used at the tournament are not included in that volume, but they may be downloaded from this site, in the download's section.

    I'm fairly certain you can assume the same non-physical stats for all its' forms (POW, EDU, etc...) these are astronomical and make him very difficult to defeat in any sort of direct way.

    Its' physical stats (STR, CON, Hit Points) should be a reflection of the physical form. The stats in the rulebook would function fine for any and every monster form since they are so high noone would be able to defeat him in combat...

    For non monster physical forms, like most of the "human" forms I'd use a normal amount of STR, CON, SIZ and hit points. I would allow gunshots to "kill" it but as the rulebook says when this happens it returns at once in one of the monster forms.

    So, really, 1 set of stats for any monster form is probably enough and you've got these in the rulebook. And any human form can probably be roughly average in terms of the physical stats, it would be safe to assume 11s' for all.
