Striga Quick Picks [full]

Custom Striga Action Name Erik suggests: Consider translation into a milieu-appropriate-sounding language (Granny = Baba). The name tables are intended for inspiration, not straight generation without tweaking. ... if possible, use name as inspiration for a supernatural quirk (ie ‘Mama Glassbelly’ becomes a striga with a transparent gut - her most recent victim (usually a toddler) can be seen inside, pounding on the walls and screaming to be let out)

[name]

Why is she a striga?

Pick one..two if you're sadistic. [origin]

Physical/Appearance Features & Quirks Pick two or three. Reconcile or drop conflicting results. [pafq]

Signature Mode of Dress [smod]

Supernatural Quirks Pick two or three...or more. [sq]

Vulnerability [vulnerability]

Conveyance Which probably flies...  [conveyance]

Signature Implement Not necessarily a weapon, but something to carry (nearly) everywhere; could be a magic focus or enchanted item. [si]

Notable Hench-Minion This is a buddy or pet, not a clan of gnolls or pack of skeletons under her command. [nh]
