I'd honestly rather be a Purified than either have the Exarchs/Seers after me or bend over for them 24/7.

Really the Pentacle is a bad deal when you realise you actually have to deal with the possibility of getting your shit kicked in by a faction with all the powers you have, who have no qualms about using the, and quite literally have the overlords of creation on their side.

You just really pissed off a mage (or since it's Hunter, really some "sorcerer-lite) and demonstrated you're a sleepwalker not subject to the Quiescence.

What follows is going to hurt. A LOT.

Death will almost certainly be preferable for what the Hunter will now experience, and he should pray the mage doesn't wipe out his family and friends in a fit of pique.

Sleepwalkers.

If you have a supernatural ability, you're a sleepwalker. It's in the book, no need to quote Dave.

It was a replacement system for influences. I forget the lower depths part, but that was where they went on souldeath, instead of going naptime like normal spirits.
>>
>>54637193
Really?
Assuming average human stats, and given the ability to spend Willpower to increase resistance attributes, you'll need to get 5 successes to stop them from using any powers for even one turn.

>>54637231
The person shooting can also spend willpower, and it automatically gets a +3 equipment bonus to firing it.

So it ain't that bad on whoever is the most shooty person in your squad since it rolls on Dex + Firearms.

And when it really works, you completely ruin a mage's day. Can't exactly just block against it, unless you know in advance it is going to fire sound, and block against sound, deafening yourself.
>>
>>54637255
Yeah but Dave obviously has a Mage boner. He is probably one of the main mage wankers here in some threads.
>>
>>54637275

Benedictions are not equipment that get a bonus.

More importantly, Mage Armors are *reflexive*. Some like Prime would nullify Benediction attacks, and you're actually proposing attacking a mage with firearms or in melee, the armors that allow Defense apply to firearms or ar straight-up armor.
>>
>>54637330
Son, that's advanced armory. It is a technological doodad.

It ignores armor, because it doesn't deal damage. Now if you have something that gives you defense against ranged attacks, that would help, depending on the wording. Because if it is giving defense by reflecting matter away, that wouldn't apply. If it is giving defense by decaying objects thrown at you, that wouldn't apply. It would need to be something that could decrease energy or block soundwaves.

It is only a 'ranged attack' in that it has to be aimed like a gun because the object shooting it is pistol shaped. It isn't a bullet, it isn't a laser, it isn't a grenade. It is a beam of exact frequency of sound.

So yeah, certain mage armor could stop it. Not most of them though, as they get pretty specific on how they are guarding stuff.

Dave:

So which Hunter powers don't work on Mages then?
I'm guessing >>54637076 & >>54637193 are a few.
>>
>>54637104
-4 dice is more than a mild discomfort though. It's not taking you out of action, but it's still a notable inconvenience, especially when there's probably more shit coming your way.
>>
I do hope that Seers of the Throne and Left Handed Path get a second edition printing after SoS.
>>
>>54637418
Oh but you forget anon, magewankers always have as many successes as they need, and all the armor up for anything that might slow them down. They never have to actually roll dice, they already did that five days ago when they planned out all their combat encounters and actions for the next month.
>>
>>54637431
Tome of the Pentacle is next after Signs of Sorcery.
Then there's another book, of which we know nothing.

So buy their shit, and then they'll make more.
>>
>>54637418
... I'd rather use those 5 successes to do something else that actually solves the problem.
>>
So. The abyss closes. The seers start their agenda of "We rule everything, fuck you" and take over in two days flat.

What happens to the Lonely Exarch and her children?
>>
>>54637239
His own damn fault. If he had put out the FAQ the fan who did it wouldn't have had to run him off the road to get the fucking answers.
>>
>>54637441
>magewankers always have as many successes as they need, and all the armor up for anything that might slow them down. They never have to actually roll dice,

Mage Armor is reflexive and doesn't require a roll.

All spells only require a single success to activate at full power. Mage 2e doesn't link number of successes with effects.

In canon, mages are paranoid fucks who get along under the presumption of mutually assured destruction. It's not only common, but expected, to have shielding and similar spells up and running day to day. Mages can always drop them without penalty or effort if they need the spell slot. They also don't interfere with inherent mage abilities like Mage Sight.

Do you actually understand Mage 2e rules, or are you just a bitter troll?
>>
>>54637255
Wow, he's starting to lose credibility. When a developer loses sight of the integrity of the gameworld as a whole in favor of myopic focus on his love boner for his personal splat, he's just another shit fan stroking his ego.

This one is my favorite.

There aren't even a lot of powers in this book that actually would help against real mages. But the idea of a bunch of guys screwing up someone's mana source, like a makeshift siege, is hilarious.

They try to set up all their defenses, and realize they are running dry on mana. Once they leave to go figure out a solution to the problem, that's when you strike, hoping to pressure them into a situation where their low mana point is actually a problem.

>>54637501

Most shielding spells and wards don't rely on a stream of mana.

The effort of the ritual would be largely wasted fighting the Awakened who would easily detect the ritual and eradicate the offenders with extreme prejudice, quite possibly using Space and Time from the comfort of their Sanctum.

Mages are assholes that can certainly do wrong.

However, they have clear written mechanics that are pretty badass, and designed for cosmic-level threats, not monkeys with delusions of grandeur.

>>54637575
I'm pretty sure the exact theme of Mage can be boiled down to 'Monkeys with delusions of grandeur'.

They are guys with a peek into a small piece of the greater cosmos, and they go 'I can control that, and I can win against the evil'

Meanwhile their rivals work for the literal and figurative masters of reality.

It seems that only because of how inept and distant their true foe is, do they win any victories at all.

>He has zero credibility in discussions of crossover related issues,

Besides being the Mage and Deviant developers, Dave is one of the most prolific CofD authors, and has written for every CofD gameline except Hunter. He also helped developed the overall mechanical and setting changes in the CofD for 2e.

Dave simply observes the obvious fact that while CofD mechanics are largely compatible, except when explicitly stated, they are not balanced for crossover play. All balance is internal to a gameline to purposes of setting and narrative consistency. Some splats are just stronger than others. BFD.
>>
>>54637629
>He just recognizes some splats are stronger than others
>Especially the one he writes the most
>And definitely not the one he doesn't write
>He is perfectly objective, and has no bias
>>
>>54637669

Do you know that he has discussed how Deviant will probably be the lowest power level among the splats?

Dave is not a power-gamer, and balks at the mage supremacy discussions as unproductive and entirely missing the point of mage as an independent game.
>>
>>54637724
Making another game that doesn't keep up with his pet game doesn't show that he doesn't have a bias toward mage. It does the opposite of that.

If Dave put out a book to help other splats operate in an open fashion like mage, that would stop talk of his bias. Until then, he is pretty much caught red handed.
>>
>>54637755
I think it would be better for you to just admit that you hate Mage with all your simmering heart.

Let it out, anon. Let it go. Let it fly.
It's not healthy for you, clearly.
>>
>>54637864
Huh? I've run three mage games over the years, one of them was a crossover even. I like to include them as background NPC in non-mage games too. Mage is pretty awesome as a setting, and the way the powers are structured is unique. On top of that, the pre-history mage/wolf setting in dark eras was the best in there in my opinion.

I hate how discussion about mages are always met with a brick wall of 'mages don't have to worry about that'. I don't hate mage, I hate mage fans. I love mage.

Mage fans make mage sound like the most boring splat in the game.

Everyone knows that is actually Geist.

>>54638246
Yeah, me too - it's given me a much greater appreciation for the other 2.0 releases, their internal consistency and overall consistency within the greater scheme of things. I never thought I'd want to play anything BUT Mage or Hunter but now I'm loving the fuck out of Vampire (cept the Strix kind of fall flat for me, I just can't find owls sinister), Werewolf, and even Prometheans - which has been a major turnaround for me from 1.0 to 2.0, it's way less "tranny diary, the game" and now closer to what it should be..

Sure. You could probably use life/matter to transfigure a hunk of metal sheets and go all eva-01 to make yourself a new arm, too. But pretend the limb in question was incinerated, or whatever.

Well, if your old limb went and got itself incinerated, your new one damn well better be made fireproof. And maybe with a hidden laser cannon. For reasons.

For HER pleasure.

>>54639258
Okay, let's assume you want an arm that isn't a vibrating fireproof laser sex toy, but a regular arm. Because nothing can ever compare to the cinematic masterpiece that is the film Orgasmo, so we're sticking with a normal arm.

Life 4.
Create yourself a parasitic arm-lifeform which will bond to your central nervous system and accept neural commands, while feeding off of the nutrients it can garner from your blood supply.

That is, if you can't convince your GM to grant yourself some sort of animal such as a jellyfish's regenerative capacity with Life 3, and then just let that regenerate the arm for you.

Let's go with a *symbiotic* arm creature.

I fear what could go wrong with a magical arm parasite when exposed to Dissonance.

A symbiote is a parasite.
Parasite is just a term with a negative connotation.
A foetus is a parasite.

If you could be so kind as to tell me how the trumpet-wrench-unicycle-leotard combo is magical I would be most obliged. Unless faggotry is magic.

Also it's shitty and weird art.
>>
>>54639560
There's heaps of worse stuff as far as WoD art goes (the entirety of Werewolf for example, or that hideous swole jawa scene)
At least this one has somewhat realistic proportions
The pose is a bit awkward, I'll grant you that
I don't even see a unicycle, she might just be fuxing some kind of tubular device (and smelling her delicious musky armpits in the process)
If it is a unicycle, then she's building or fixing some kind of automatic unicycle, probably powered by magic. You know we do have those, right ? As retarded as those faggot-rollers look, it's not that outlandish and if it's magical, provides a portable means of locomotion without effort
What flusters me the most is that she doesn't have any armpit hair
>>
>>54639657
>There's heaps of worse stuff as far as WoD art goes

That's not actually a defense. Other terrible art in WW books doesn't make Unicycle Obrimos objectively any better.

Glorriana is also the signature Obrimos character in Mage 1e. Is that picture really the best they WW could come up with to represent mages channeling the power of the Aether?

Also, while Swole Jawa is a terrible representation for the Adamantine Arrow, at least "Kill The Batman" is mildly amusing while Unicycle Obrimos is just odd

>I will also never forgive anyone associated with Mage 1e for the totally unreadable and painful gold leaf text and horrible layout
>>
>>54639380
That's... scientifically not true though (the symbiote bit, not the foetus bit)
>>
What are some good NPCs to put into a Vampire: the Dark Ages game set in Rome 1000 AD?
>>
>>54639976
... I guess it's possible for a symbiote to subsist entirely on unnecessary runoff, not actually harming it's host, meaning it's not a parasite.

But not if you want an entire darn arm, attached to your body and functioning perfectly fine for you. It's got to get it's energy and nutrients from somewhere... And unless you either want to be injecting them into it, or growing it a little mouth and an entire digestive system...

http://theonyxpath.com/merits-changeling-the-lost/

New Merits preview. Since I think Hill used to do most or all of the 2e Merits, this is probably all new material.
>>
>>54641360

>Faerie Favor (•••)

Effect: The Gentry’s promises bind them to a greater degree than those of the Lost do, and your character possesses such a promise. She is entitled to a favor from one of the True Fae. She may have gained this favor through anything from knowing a clever riddle to a dark deed done at the cost of another changeling’s freedom. However she earned it, she has a bauble, song, or phrase that represents the favor, and when she breaks, sings, or utters it, the True Fae will appear.

The favor can be many things: the capture of a rival the changeling has tracked to his Hollow, a week of freedom from a Huntsman on the changeling’s heels, safe passage to somewhere in the Hedge or mortal world, etc. After the character calls in the favor, she gains dots in any combination of Merits appropriate to the power of the Gentry, per the Sanctity of Merits (p. XX).

Huntsman still in and dicking over your friends is still around. All in a merit with no prerequisites. Neat
>>

>>
>>54637255
Now I really want to see Arthurian era as a Mage/Hunter crossover. But the splats would have to have mostly positive relations, with Mages not wiping out every Hunter in sight.
>>
>>54637755
>open fashion
What, you mean like, out in the open? You think Mages don't have anything to fear, or that they aren't forced into secrecy like the other splats? How wrong can you be? Even outside of their own high-level cosmic/other Mage antagonists, the CofD setting is still dangerous to Mages and they can easily meet their end by just being stupid or reckless. Not all Mages are Masters, or even Adepts, and while Mages do have some potent abilities available to them at lower dots, it doesn't mean they apply them perfectly for every situation.

DaveB also didn't start Mage Supremacy. It's been around ever since Ascension.
>>
>>54638846
>Dunno! She might be acting against *her* fellow Exarchs.

Dave, now that you are working again on Signs of Sorcery, would you be willing to post a new preview about it? Maybe something about Exarchial Ochemata...
>>
>>54642985
>being so insecure about your sexuality that you have to change the alternating pronoun scheme
It's okay, anon. The Gate's bestness transcends reality. Embrace it.
>>
>>54643183
And let's face it, if you don't like the orientation of the gate at that exact moment there's probably something in the Place Between that'll cheerfully swap your preferences for you.

I guess in the whole 'abyss closes' situation, the Gate suddenly becomes Enemy Number One of everyone else and starts recruiting non-seer mages. Or maybe he already does and just never got around to mentioning that *this* particular frothing lunatic in her ranks is actually a Guardian of the Veil or an Arrow.
>>
>>54642720
Thanks for assuming what I meant and then going on a rant about it.

Mage power is partially built on the power to build any answer using the themes your character is said to be able to operate in. They have a blank check to do whatever they are supposed to be able to do. That is the 'open fashion'.
>>
>>54643937
>If Dave put out a book to help other splats operate in an open fashion like mage

How about you address how Dave is supposed to "put out a book to help other splats operate in an open fashion like mage?"

Dave doesn't decide on what books get published for Mage or any other line. In any event, the themes and setting of the other lines don't demand or expect the pc's to "operate in an open fashion." Lastly, if and when the Crossover Chronicles is ever released by OPP, it may to some degree address what you perceive as a problem.

Any Sleeper with an internal power counts as a Sleepwalker to Mages. That's in their book, not just the word of Dave. Of course you can houserule Mage rules however you like if you intend to use them as NPCs in a Hunter game, but claiming that it's worth shit because it isn't in the Hunter book when it's something that specifically pertains to Mages is kind of dumb.

Mages are the worst monsters of them all (except for Beasts, those guys really suck).

What's worse that an obsessive human given near limitless power without means of restrain or repercussion?
>>
>>54646440
Because Mage is a terrible fit for both Worlds of Darkness. It would be fine if it was in its own universe, with something similar to Sorcerers or buffed spell casters from Second Sight taking their place as the mortal wizards.
>>
>>54646544
>Because Mage is a terrible fit for both Worlds of Darkness
Why do you think that?

>>54646593
Because mages aren't scary monsters that hunt and or live in the darkness.

The World of Darkness takes it cues from old hammer/universal monster movies. And none of them have gnostic reality-shaping wizards.

indeed. but that interruption goes against the protestant church which gives all powers to god. which is why in Christendom the wizard part is down played a lot and the God part is more predominate
>>
>>54647638
indeed. but what defines a sleeper conflict? Is it all out war? or is radial revolution? If you only go after your seer rivals does that make it ok?

Mostly that ideology came into play because a lot of arrows ended up killing each other, while on different sides of that war.

You mean the way they had their industrial resolution which in effect caused the serfs to become property of the company rather than any one landowner?
>>
>>54647657
Just shows how ignorant Christianity is at its core, and how much its representatives are in denial of the reality of things.

Western magic had always been heavily influenced by the Abrahamic religions.

Kind of yah.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixteen_Tons

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIfu2A0ezq0

I'm not a historian but that's roughly what happened. Just instead of any particular company it was a state run entity. That calls back to bronze statesman ship. issuing planting seasons and seeds. It worked, but the cost was a dizzying amount
>>
>>54647894
Basically in the western world they used (and continually use if you ask some people) Debt and obligation. Russian pre USSR was not modernized in that respect still had large swaps of land. Russian is motherfcking cold and large and mountains. It's got vodka steel and oil. and they are shrew about their dealing. They have a public spy school.

>>54647638
No, that was a decision by the Adamantine Arrow to disallow their membership to take up arms in Sleeper conflicts, due to the high attrition rate and division which was caused by WW2.

You can still mess around supporting the anti-terrorist effort in the Middle East for example, but you're not allowed to put yourself, or your stewardship over Pentacle Magics in jeopardy.

Listen, kid. If Mage is the subject of the post, it's a shitpost.

>>54648402
If you don't grasp the ties of Mage to the Matrix you have little to no understanding of the game, from its origins (which pretty much scream "Matrix" years before its release) to its present incarnation.
>>
>>54649119
The Original Mage was 90's as fuck. It was a work of goddamn art. The Matrix wishes it was as Matrix as the original Mage. Still the best, most awesome iteration of the game, before the Vision got tainted by idiots like Brucato who just didn't fully grasp it.

Also, yeah. Like, a COFD trolling thread and then a regular thread would be awesome.

Ironically the other splatfags are the ones who clamor for a safe space ("Magefags should just make their own thread!") or cry about being persecuted ("Fucking Mage fucking over the other splats getting all the attention fucking Mary Sues they don't even fit in the setting!").

It only takes Death 1 to troll a Strix by turning it into a shadow penis

hey /CofD/, just starting out with Chronicle.

What's the importance of integrity? Like, in game, does having lower integrity stunt you?
>>
>>54649626
For certain abilities.
Mostly it's just bad because of the slippery slope of the conditions which you accumulate through losing Integrity.
>>
>>54649626
It's roleplay fodder. You slowly go nuts as it drops, but the lower it is the more of a cunt you need to be to drop it further. There are some mechanical bits, check the book for the exact pieces.

Wee abyssal "spider" gulmoth that crawled into your brain and controls your every perception giggles gleefully as you "troll" that "strix" into a "shadow penis"
>>
>>54649884
Strix are made of shadows, therefore I can turn it into a dildo.

:^)
>>
>>54649884
Yeah, then the spider leaves to find an actual retarded host, because he's not wrong.

Death 1 can turn the Strix into shadow vaginas. Deal with it.
>>
>>54649893
But is it a strix?

Is it shadow?

What are you actually tuning into a dildo?

Are you even doing what you think you're doing?

You have an abyssal entity living inside your bane, gleefully using you as a toy. It could probably just fully subsume you, but it's having more fun doing what it's doing, coaxing you along into acts of hubris and vanity.

Would Gulmoths make good pets for the sufficiently insane?

A parasitic brain spider sounds pretty cute.

What are some examples of Nimbuses you have used for your mages? Well I'm specifically l looking for ideas for Nimbus Tilts, but the whole Nimbus idea is too cool not to get the whole story.
>>
>>54650001
I'm sure there are some wonderful Scelestus pet shop keepers out there, gladly offering their lonely Mage brothers companion critters and "familiars" of the Gulmoth sort.

I wonder if the crossover book will explain which arcana would be best for dealing with Angels or Prommie angels.

Though at this rate, I'll probably die before said crossover book materializes.
