Could Simblend's be Used as Spell Cache / Capaciter?


Advice


I'm playing a biotechnician Technomancer. My idea is to have his spell cache/Capaciter be an implanted pseudo-organ that pumps Simblend's (p. 112 of Alien Archive) through his body. These entities would be constantly moving through his body, aiding him in casting his spells, storing his magical energy, etc.

How would you handle this? Is it acceptable to just roleplay having Simblend's in my characters blood for Technomancer flavor?

Thanks!


I don't understand what you mean by pumping simblends [sic] through his body. A symbiend is a particular creature that attaches to the host and grants advantages and disadvantages, not a suite of chemicals that can be artificially created and do the same (without house rules). If you're house ruling a device that recreates symbiend effects it hardly matters whether the (very vague) examples of a spell cache would encompass it, go nuts.

I know they're creatures. I basically want to roleplay him growing a microbial colony inside his own body. He would form a symbiotic relationship with the colony, and the synthetic organ where the colony would originate would be his spell cache/capacitor.

It sounds like you think it would be fine though? So thanks!

Your spell cache can be almost anything, so I don't see why you couldn't do this.

Thanks! I stumbled on a thread of your character concepts, by the way -- big fan of your work!

Happy to read it! If you haven't already, please hit the FAVORITE button of the first post of the gallery thread (it's the only real way I can track peoples' appreciation). If you ever use one of the characters in a game (or a concept derived from or inspired by one of the characters), please let me know in that thread!

I love hearing about other people's stories and experiences and it's one of the chief reasons I do it. :D
