Re: More historical and literature characters

Using Pathfinder rules I would use base line Medusa stats with six levels in cleric (she started out as a high priestess of Athena). Then add either 4 advancements from the Bestiary or three mythic tiers

Re: More historical and literature characters

By 1890 Geronimo had been in prison some and 80 years old. As a hunter most of his life he is proficient with archaic weapons as well as the Winchester model 1873 and a Colt single action revolver. Dread possibilities. Perhaps haunted his last days by the ghosts of his massacred people

Re: Real life fear/horror/madness

Flying home in a C-130 after a tour in Iraq. Looking up and seeing hydraulic fluid leaking from hoses across the ceiling. When you ask the crew chief about it he says plainly let me know if it stops....we will all die. No wonder why people go through Airborne taining.
