The issue isn't whether human intelligence and technology can be used against supernatural creatures. They totally can be. The issue is that those things aren't possessed by humans alone. The supernatural creatures can use those things, too. It isn't "intelligence + technology vs magic powers". It's "intelligence + technology vs intelligence + technology + magic powers"....

Well said, Nyrufa. I agree with you. I'm reminded of a Futurama quote:

"The human was impervious to our most powerful magnetic fields, yet in the end he succumbed to a harmless sharpened stick!"

Yes, a smart human might be able to take down a more powerful monster, but I'd be inclined to think that a smart monster would have a better chance of doing so in most situations....

Thank you for posting this. I actually love Beast as written, but I think that the idea of an alternate version in which they are trying to stop themselves from becoming a greater monster and return to humanity is a neat take. If I was to write something like this, I would go with breaking points like Integrity, allowing them to gain bonuses to resist increases by feeding in a manner that minimizes harm. Alternatively, something like an inversion of Mummy's Descent system could also work.



Atavisms could actually cover horror traits fairly well. I'd make them free, as...

Okay, I'm done now. Couldn't help myself....

Thank you. I'm glad that you liked it....

I can't recommend it enough, either. Take what I say with a grain of salt, though, as I'm shamelessly biased in its favor.
