4 AM Jitters: The Sight Unseen — The Ghost of the Fenwood

Thursday, December 18th, 2025 — 4:15 AM

The shadows outside the Shreveport Cabin just stopped being dark—they started being alive.

There is a presence here tonight that transcends the physical. We have officially moved beyond the material world and into the realm of the Tiger Rakshasa Paragon. This is the Sight Unseen Spirit, a master of martial combat and dark, intangible shadow magic who stalks the "thin places" between the Bayou and the Fenwood Forest.

I. The Were-Tiger Rakshasa Warrior-Wizard Paragon: Attributes

As a WERE-Tiger Rakshasa Warrior-Wizard (Paragon), this PM (Player Monster) uses specialized M!M 2.7 multipliers to reflect his supernatural feline grace and innate sorcery.

For the players and GMs following along, this is how we stack the bloodlines. We add the Tygerian and Rakshasa multipliers to create the Apex Paragon. We triggered the TARO (Triples Add & Roll Over) rule on the DEX roll (6-6-6), turning an 18 into a 28 base.

Build Component	STR	CON	DEX	SPD	INT	WIZ	CHR	LK
Base Monster Rolls	13	16	28 (TARO)	10	13	12	14	10
Tygerian Multiplier	x 5.0	x 6.0	x 1.0	x 1.0	x 1.0	x 0.5	x 2.0	x 0.75
Rakshasa Multiplier	x 1.5	x 1.5	x 1.2	x 1.0	x 1.0	x 1.5	x 1.0	x 1.0
APEX MULT (T+R)	x 6.5	x 7.5	x 2.2	x 2.0	x 2.0	x 2.0	x 3.0	x 1.75
FINAL TOTALS	85	120	62	20	26	24	42	18.0

II. Combat, Weapons & Armor Mastery Table

The Paragon uses his high DEX (61.6) to ensure his Great Scimitar finds its mark before the enemy can blink.

Equipment Type	Item Name	Stat / Value	Narrative / Game Effect
Primary Weapon	Great Scimitar	5D6 + 130	A heavy, curved blade that shears through physical and spiritual armor.
Legacy Weapon	Tiger Force Knife	2D6 + 130	Dad's Vietnam blade; acts as a focus for Shadow Magic.

Natural Armor	Rakshasa Hide	2 Hits	Toughened fur and dense Tygerian bone.
TOTAL ARMOR	Combined	14 Hits	Total damage soaked per round before Health (CON) is touched.

III. Shadow Power & Ability Suite

Kuro-Khan utilizes his WIZ (24) to manipulate the battlefield, ensuring he remains "Sight Unseen."

Ability	Type	WIZ Cost	Effect
Shadow-Walk	Special	3	50ft teleport; denies target's DEX/Shield Adds for 1 round.
Vorpal Blade	Spell (L1)	5	Doubles Scimitar dice to 10D6 + 130 for one strike.
Darkness	Spell (L1)	1	Creates a cloud of total shadow to blind intruders.

The Shadow-Stalker’s Spellbook

Captain, the tables are set. Should we name this specific Shadow Paragon "The Congo Ghost" to link back to your service history, or do you have another call-sign in mind?
