[UA] Archetypes

[Dylan Craig]

>UA Canon
Whoops, sorry. Should have been clearer, there. While the first... what, 26...
are from the UA Books, the current flavors, godwalkers, challengers etc. are
based around my own campaign. And I like my own NPCs better than 'some guy in
Japan'. :)  Especially seeing as IMUAC, the Masterless Man has torn himself
loose from the IC and seems intent on bringing the whole karmic cycle down
around his ears, for no apparent reason except his own cussed nature.
Rogue-gods-a-go-go, indeed. The list's up to 176, now. I'm stopping at 300 and
letting the campaign events provide the rest. For instance, there's an NPC the
group should be encountering pretty soon who is trying to ascend as the Dreamer.

Does anyone have any clarification as to the "Algerian Hero" Archetype that Alex
Abel is, at some point, referred to as having unconsciously channeled? Is this
the same as the Man who Succeeded Where You Should Have? And, speaking of which,
how do other GMs handle the 'unconscious chanelling' thing? Put another way, how
high can you take your Avatar score without being mystically aware of what
you're doing? All the way (like the Hunter and possibly the Naked Goddess)? If
that's the case, how do your players justify spending experience points on a
process they don't know they are doing?
