Character: Lord Swami, Cult Leader (125 points)

This is a pregen character for the 1980s GURPS Horror adventures listed on the roadmap. This GURPS-O-SCOPIC character sheet is designed to be given to a new player in one of the listed adventures: You shouldn’t need any prep. There are some additional notes about this set of overall characters if you are interested.

Notes

  • “Disciplined” is shorthand for Disciplines of Faith (Mysticism) [-10] p. B132
  • This character was made as a passenger on Flight 13, and Unfazeable [15] is pretty handy in that adventure as you can ignore Fright Checks.
  • This is a persuasive character, but Lord Swami is truly effective when people are at the end of their rope. That’s how regular people become cultists! The mechanic here is the leveled “Good with (Social Group)” perk from GURPS Power-Ups 2: Perks that targets people at wits end.
  • Lord Swami needs to give sermons (no Fast-Talk!) to persuade people because the mode of influence here is Public Speaking .
