Re: [HOE] Possible interesting villain [Marshals]

What possible reason could a person want to channel Bertie Wooster or the 
captain who loves to burn books?   That'd be some serious crack they're 
smoking!   Biblyopathy was designed for people to literaly get in to 
characters, mostly because they have usefull skills.   I can understand 
using bad guys (like Darth Vader for swordfighting and general coolnes) but 
those guys are pretty bad characters to channel.

What about Tyler Durden
Richard III
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Darth maul
Dracula
Victor Frankenstein
The evil Native from Last of the Mohicans (who's name eludes me)

The only discernable skills from Mr. Wooster would be Butler use: 5d12
and avoiding Aunties 2d10

And I dont think there's enough time to get to know a guy who simply like to 
burn books unless there was a book on firestarting.
