Achilles Heel: Dullahan

Achilles Heel: Dullahan by Dragon Blaze 99

The Dullahan (pronounced DOOL-a-HAN) - also referred to as the Headless Horseman - is a type of spirit or fairy originating from Irish folklore. This sinister being appears as a man or a woman riding upon a black horse, but the rider has no head upon their shoulders. Typically, the Dullahan carries its head under its arm; the head appears dead and rotten with a demonic grin spread across its face.

This is a five-fold flaw

1. Horror factor the headless horseman has an aura of due to the long history of folk tales and movies, HF 10 + 1D4 +1 at 3,6 and 9 as the head rots

2. The head is susceptible to damage reducing the heads AR by 7 points compared to the body or to 5 it also takes 50% more damage when attacked (-3 strike small target) like all beings destroying the head kills the character.

3. The character must carry the head around with him, it is still how he see’s and hears meaning that putting it in a bag blinds him, etc.

4. If some one takes the character's head away from the character, his powers fade at 10% per 50’ of distance; at 500’ the dullahan’s power is reduces by 99% and stays that way until the head is returned for and held for 30 minutes.

5. The character loses all save vs psionic attacks (just dice rolls) if the psychic is physically touching the character's head.
