Help on Creatures of Magic

Unread post by Long Shadow »

I'm doing research for a rifter article and i'm looking for references to specifically creatures of magic.

So more specifically, I'm looking for a list of creatures of magic and examples of humans becoming creatures of magic.

My list so far includes dragons, faeries, russian woodland spirits, ki-lin, sphinx, unicorn, griffin, pegasus, Za and tentatively true dinosaurs (they exhibit evolved magic abilities)

As for humans, I have High Magus (or was it Lord?), Man-Wolves, transformation via Shadow Self and D-Shifters..

All comments would be appreciated :)

Dinosaurs would not be CoM, becasue they arn't magical in low magic enviroments.

As for humans...I belive the Magus type turn into SNat equivlents, Man-Wolves(where are they found?), Shadow self-transformation...not a CoM but magical, D-Shifters are a Race/RCC, NightLords are SNat too, along with Gaurdiens and wampyres. Basicly,if you're a human char its easyer to become SuperNatural then becoming a CoM.

You would need something like a perm Metamophisis: Fearie spell to become a CoM.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

The Lord Magus becomes a Creature of Magic actually, the ohter magus OCC's are just mortal magic users.

And there was that guy in Sourcebook One who was turned into a Creature of Magic after that guy installed those experimental TW bionics on him.

I don't do RIFTS much... do T-Men with more than 6 tats become CoM's, or is that just an M.D.C. conversion for them?

Just an M.D. conversion, IIRC.
