> As currently planned, a statted up version of Dion turns up in the first
part of the epic campaign code-named "Walker In Your Face."  Said first
section is (tentatively) entitled "To Go," it's destined for the Mak Attax
book.  "To Go" is... gosh... maybe half finished now?  Probably closer to
2/3 done, really.  I hope.

up, I'll probably spill the beans.

My initial thought was that he's a refugee from Tim Powers. :-)

Hmm. Actually...a lot of the old, dusty, forgotten archetypes would be
really dangerous to channel. When you're channelling a "current", relatively
well-known archetype like the Flying Woman or the Fool, you start off small
and have time to get used to the whole thing. The archetype's power is
divided among lots and lots of rival avatars.

But if you rediscover an archetype that's been ignored (but not replaced)
for centuries, and channel it...BAM! You're the only avatar, so you're
essentially Godwalking despite not having the requisite skill to handle it.
If Dion Isaacs (or whatever his real name was) was the first person in two
thousand years to channel the God of Wine or whatever the archetype
is...pow, blam, boom, he's got a god in his head and he goes nuts.
