But enough of this! Let us continue to figure out the Brotherhood of Nod Endowments!

What were you expecting when the OP pic was a literal Nazi Werewolf?

Sorry, I don't cry /pol/ at every little thing.

No one sees beast powers in effect. Plus the 'soul' can just stand in as your aura acting as a stand

Geist is closer.

>>54766640
Sidenote: I'm not really sure how Endowments work.

Would the Marked of Kane and the Black Hand get exclusive Endowments compared to the regular Brotherhood members?

How do Tremere ping on Mage Sight? Does Life/Death Mage Sight gives out their "souless undead" nature immediately? If yes - how do they manage to stay alive?
>>
>>54766841
true. Geist + Beast = JoJo Chronicle

>what is veiling?
>>
>>54766724
Yeah, but that doesn't mean that the theme won't make for an interesting character.
>>
>>54766872
What? Tremere aren't undead, just soulless. Stop giving out false news.

And I imagine it is important for them to have some sort of shielding up against someone checking them with mage sight, which probably isn't uncommon among paranoid mages.
>>
>>54766753
There are no negative consequences to being a beast, you are in essence a hero with powers. But you are cursed to always have an arch villain/adversary. Yeah, I can see the jojo aspect right there.
>>
>>54766753
Oh fuck. Leif Jones's garbage is back.
>>
>>54766986
>Leif Jones
who?
>>
>>54766872
Soul Marks would probably out them if it succeeded on a Clash against whatever Veiling spell they had up.
>>
>>54766966
Don't you lose your soul?
>>
/cofd/, thinking of running sundered world with the possibility of more crossover (even if only for antagonists).

I have an easy time imagining how the loose canon of vampires could lead to kindred-like creatures already existing. I've opted out of having angels (either sort) and demons back in 5000+ bce. The mummies literally haven't been buried yet if I am right.

But what about beasts? What do you think they are up to in 5k bce? Is the Dark Mother still the root of all non-spirit spooky monsters?
>>
>>54766995
I mean, poking that far past someone's veiling spell would probably get you beat up by any mage strong enough to he a tremere, lich or not.
>>
>>54766996
Souls aren't worth much in CofD, if I'm not mistaken. The worst that happens to a Beast is that they might get stuck with a fucked up Hunger that makes them a bigger target for Heroes and makes other Beasts go shiggy diggy, but that's not always a given. Dicking over someone else to advance your career can be a Hunger. Stealing sentimental objects can be a Hunger. Baiting big bad men in bars to put their hands on you so you can show them your grrrl power can be a Hunger. Faking your own death and leaving someone guilt ridden at "failing" to save you can be a Hunger. Leaving 'privileged' assholes who comes into your cab in bad neighborhoods where they'll be mugged or worse can be a Hunger.

I'm not making these up. These are fluff examples I remember from the book.
>>
>>54767045
>But what about beasts? What do you think they are up to in 5k bce? Is the Dark Mother still the root of all non-spirit spooky monsters?
I reckon that there wouldn't be as much of a divide between Begotten and Insatiables and heroes would be fucking crazy.

Other than that no idea.
>>
>>54766996
That has no effect in play whatsoever. It's ornamental text.
>>
>>54766996
>Legacy
nah you transform your soul into a soul sucking monster to get around the paradox paradox. other mages can do it too, but the legacy gets rid of the dispel magic problem.
>>
>>54767118
>>54766872
replyed to the wrong one
>>
>>54767068
Depends. Yeah if you did break their spell they would probably try to kill you, but on the other hand you did break their spell so you're likely to be on roughly equal Gnosis terms and have at least Death or Prime over them. But killing you would be a last resort.

If you don't break it they'll probably get out of dodge asap, if they can.
>>
>>54767118
Having a Legacy doesn't really transform your soul all that much. The way the text describes it now, a Legacy shapes the container of your soul, like a pitcher is to water. This way you won't lose you Legacy if your soul is stolen and you get a new one, but your soul is flavored by the container, so people who steal your soul can learn your Legacy from it.
>>
You, as you are right now, get flung into the World of Darkness. What do you do?
>>
>>54766946
Okay, but Mage Sight still gives out "soulless" part?
>>
>>54767215
Find a shirt that isn't covered in dog hair and shorts that don't smell like jizz. Also get some shoes, probably.
>>
>>54767215
Probably nothing much.

Just go back to shitposting on 4chan.
>>
>>54767236
Depends on what kind of Mage Sight. They reveal different things.
>>
>>54767215
Become a Hero and shoot Beasts
>>
>>54767262
Since souls consists out of five subtle Arcana, shouldn't any subtle Arcana Mage Sight give out the "soulless" part?
>>
>>54767196
same net effect. The thing that is you is forever transformed whether that is soul or gnosis is material for another discussion
>>
>>54767314
Which five?
>>
>>54767335
Subtle ones: Fate, Death, Spirit, Prime and Mind.
>>
>>54767335
Fate, Death, Prime, Mind and Spirit.
Kind of like the five Pillars from Mummy.

What do you think?
>>
>>54767314
You forget that Tremere wear stolen souls and steal their auras. Mage Sight should reveal soulless condition of lich who isn't wearing any soul now, but the rest look like perfectly normal mages. The only difference may be that Tremere may wear Sleeper soul and have it's aura, while his soul should be an Awakened one and have difference in the aura. But you wouldn't see that without checking out the aura, and Tremere can just hide his own.
>>
>>54767314
Reading through 2e Mage Sight, I would say Active Death Mage Sight would give it away, and for any of the other four it would take Focused Mage Sight if it's true that souls consist of all five subtle Arcana.
>>

Yes I would like to kill him so it's a preddy gud beast concept

>if it's true that souls consist of all five subtle Arcana

Yeah, looks like you are on spot.

If angels and demons revolve around the God-Machine instead of a true Supreme Being does that retcon the bible? Because in this universe I thought a lot of the bible was true and that God was real since he turned Cain into the first vampire.

>>54767547
Naw. Vampires just have a lot of possible mythology. Most of it probably wrong.

But the GM doesn't say the bible isn't true (the existence of spirit gods and exarchs says that). The GM took the trappings of the world it squeezed into.

Angels are like spirits because it hijacked spirit blueprints. It may have stolen the design and terminology from some previous true angels/demons. Plus, there is a supernal realm that seems to have angels in it, so the logos of angels existed.

So like all things, who knows what is true.

>Leif Jones
>who?

An artist. Most of his works are usually not held in very high esteem amongst people on these forums, myself included.

The reason being that Leif Jones' characters all tend to be a bit on the "inhuman" side. As in, they all look a bit like an alien trying to fit inside a human's skin.

Now that's a great thing to include if you're trying to make art of something like the Nosferatu or the Tzimisce (as two basic examples), who are meant to be Uncanny Valley (or obvious monsters), but not so much when they're supposed to be representations of regular humans.

He's got a few screws loose. I hear he means well, but I wouldn't let him cast on me or anything.
>>
>>54767766
>More likely, he just takes what he wants from you with Mind magic.
If you offer things like holding (if still naturally a Sleeper, than by you undetectable) spells for him, you could become useful enough. There are tons of Sleepwalkers and Proximi serving the Orders.
>How do you become an Astral Adept?
Considering it's called Astral *Adept* and it's about an attunement with your Soul, it's likely done through a sort of conditioning. It's never been really stated by developers or in books, as far as I know.
If the worst happens, I would just have to do with Fitful Slumber, or even with just Stealing Fire. Being a true Sleepwalker would be a more stable state, but direct effects of spells like Forge Purpose are technically not detectable by you, so Dissonance or Quiescence woudn't happen. The same goes for Stealing Fire.

Nah. Just have it as a 5 dot status reward: Better gear.

I'd call their endowments passive attribute boosts more than anything. Sort of like the Ascending Ones, but with less careful alchemy and more "HEY GUYS LETS GO EAT SOME GLOWY ROCKS AND HOPE FOR THE BEST". Anyone can do it, but people with status learn how to shape the rocks they ingest properly.

Most fun NWoD game I ever played was a 3+ year mortals game where none of us really got any supernatural powers (and if any of us changed and applied a template, like I purposely failed my seeking as an Acanthus Mage because my husband was dying and I was our medic), we would have to retire the PC and leave the game.

>>54768848
You're in luck, there's a Forsaken 1e book called The Pure. It has writeups for the three Pure Tribes, gifts like Disease and such like that.
>>
>>54768866
Make it something like the Changeling Hearth power. Using it on the same target over and over shoves bad luck onto the Bohagande, or when they use it more than their Composure times, tat Composure+1'th time throws bad luck onto them.

How powerful are Scourges from Slasher in the grand scheme of things?

Could Jason defeat a Vampire?
Could he defeat a Werewolf?
Promethean?
Changeling?
Begotten?
>>
>>54769683
No idea. The supernatural powers from the core book have no such limitations, but Second Sight was not updated.

He's talking about non-Mage wizards from Second SIght, who were interesting but pathetically weak beyond having to spend dozens of merit dots in requirements.
>>
>>54769915
>He's talking about non-Mage wizards from Second SIght
Ah, okay. I wasn't sure. But I thought they didn't incur Paradox or anything in either line because they aren't doing true magick stuff?
>>
>>54769863
>Vampire?
Possible if he goes for the stack to the heart trick. otherwise the vamp can keep fighting as along as there are sexed up teens in the area
>Werewolf?
The battle of regens. If the wolf can figure out Jason's bane it goes to the wolfs
>Promethean?
No idea.
>Changeling?
Changeling has to decide fight Jason or head back to the fae masters. so Jason
>Begotten?
Going to side with Jason. Ever seen Freddie vs Jason? Universally Jason's raw power and resilience is hard to beat. Still you could build a beast to take him down
>>
>>54769950
They suffered from a minor form of Paradox cause by disbelieving normal people on top of all their other limitations, a bit like how it worked in Ascension.
>>
>>54769863
Werewolf probably not.
Vampire maybe.
Promethean probably not.
Changeling yes.

They are tough, and have some tricks. And only taking one damage a turn is hot stuff. But it depends what you let effect them.
>>
>>54769950
>>54769915
It just doesn't mention it anywhere in the GMC book, sadly. I'm inclined to think "no, it doesn't get affected by people eyeballing it", if only because people finding out you're secretly a telekinetic is a good way to get unpersoned and abducted, and everyone else dead.

A lot of the parts from SS were ported over, and the others can be done just as easily - but still, official rulings, blah blah, you get the idea.
>>
>>54770014
I'd hesitate to even call it paradox. It basically boiled down to "haha, fuck you, mortal!" without any real nastiness aside from "it doesn't work'.
>>
>>54770078
Which is still pretty bad, considering how weak sauce most powers were and how much you spent to get them.
>>

If it's a Thyrsus Master? Probably more than one. They do have Life as Ruling, after all.
>>
>>54770306
>How many Uratha would it take to bring down a Thyrsus Master?

Does the mage have any mage or powerful spirit allies?

Is the master prepared? Does he have any dots in Forces?

How powerful are the Uratha?

In any event, taking down a master of any path is damn hard, particularly given their penchant for multiple target/area of effect, no Withstand/Defense, instant-kill attacks and formidable defenses.

No matter the number of woofs, the casualty count will be high.

Check: Are there exactly thirty elderly Uratha in your backyard, in Garou form, hobbling on canes toward another old man who has a wand in one hand and a bottle of bowel medication in the other? He's probably slathered in topical ointments. There might be a bevvy of nurses nearby.
>>
>>54770746
The old Mage is clearly faking it. He's getting ready to use Life to turn himself into the Hulk.
>>
>>54770746
A Thyrsus Master wouldn't need medicine or ointments or nurses. They have Life.

Scratch that, just checked. There is indeed a weird old man in my backyard with a nurse. I told him to leave, then he told me to leave for about five minutes. Then a bunch of smelly old people came out of the woods.
>>

Behold the power of the elderly Hulk, as he waddles up a gentle slope to get to the early bird special. Be amazed as he yells at birds, clouds and police officers. Watch as he strokes out at young people using curse words.

HELP

I'm playing a mortals game with contracts that are decided as and when they are needed and bargained for according to a system of equivalent exchange. For fluff reasons my character exchanged his old age for dementia at a later date. He is now a 65 year old inhabiting the body of a 21 year old at peak physical fitness. He also has the ability to turn objects to silver in order to combat what are essentially Fae Klingons (deals unsoakable agg, similar to werewolves).

Our current primary antagonist is a Mage however, however I am unfamiliar with their capabilities. What we do know however is that there may infact be multiple Mages or even a Cabal.

We are currently recruiting allies from other supernatural beings including a straight up Dragon, Werewolves, Spirits and others, however these are being gained in the process of achieving the overarching goal rather than dealing with the Mage.

My question to you is this; how do you shut down a rogue Mage.

>"That's the other stylistic difference between me and Matt - he likes to make player characters relatable, which means emphasising with them, which means their problematic qualities don't get as much attention than in other games. They're still there, just not as emphasised.

By contrast, the thing that jumped out at me about your post was "Do you want to play Evil Mages?"

They.. Uh... They kinda all are. The Awakened are, barring a few saintly and Wise exceptions, Right Shits. I'm firmly in the camp of "anyone who has a gameline about them in the Chronicles of Darkness is morally dubious at best," which bleeds into writing for other people's lines. Like Beast - I've done a few things for the gameline now, and I always approach it from the standpoint of Begotten being, well... Not particularly nice.

As for your first point, though, Dave's History Lesson Time! Atlantis was added very late to Awakening's setting, when the book was already late and had to have a bit of a rethink. CCP didn't crowfund games back then, but if the Begotten's Lessons Culture reminds you of it in the 1st ed corebook implementation, there'd be a reason for that. Only difference is the early draft of Beast without it was publicly available."

Mage's are shitty people from Dave's own mouth.

Honestly no - since taking control of Mage, Dave has castrated Hubris, and paradox so much they are practically nothing. In fact there is no reason not to dump hubris points to a degree that say Prometheans or Vampires or Werewolves would face serious problems for doing so. Mages love DaveB not because he has mad the game better, but because he has made it easier. he has taken away much of the actual challenge mages faced, even in Awakening 1e.

Oh, shut your trap.

>>
>>54773020
This pretty much. Mages have almost zero downsides as of 2e. Even beasts have more downsides to their powers
>>
>>54773020
It is interesting, whether this is true or not, I realize that these threads lost the anon who would bring down the 'mage reality'.

Whenever people talked about how easy this or that would be to do as a mage, he would always show the actual dice pools required to do it, and show how much you needed in whatever attributes to make it an even semi-reliable roll.

Now that doesn't happen. Magewankers just go 'Yeah a mage could do X' with no respect to the dice pool requires, how much paradox would be kicked up, or what mana cost, whatever.
>>
>>54773052
He's right though - DaveB castrated Hubris even more in Awakening 2e from 1e. Though in 1e it was sort of a situation where some schools had to worry about paradox a little, some not much at all, in 2e, now it's all balanced out by a "don't worry about paradox" status in every school. Except when Mage players are trying to bullshit up how it's actually a horror game.

Question for Storytellers (cofd/nwod I guess, since I don't know or care about how it was in wod)

How do you guys tend to describe spirits? Not like, spirits that are claiming or whatever, just... spirits in the shadow, or ones that have come over and are just chilling.

Do you go with a like 'sprite with features related to their nature' thing, like 'this fire spirit looks like a featureless child with fire hair'.

Do you go with 'just like what they represent, with some pizzaz' like 'The Fire-Who-Won't-Be-Quenched' is just a giant talking bonfire?

Maybe go featureless thing until it is important enough to have a name?

I can never decide which angle I should go with, and I haven't come across any book that actually helps.

Quick question. Are mages as powerful as described in these threads and the OPP forums? Or could, say, a vampire of sufficient degree reliably go up against one?
>>
>>54775172
Here is the thing.

In a white room scenario, a mage wins.

White room scenarios are stupid.

There are plenty of situations where a vampire could beat a mage.

Just not when the Mage has been told five days in advance he will be fighting a vampire in a big empty room where both combatants get to bring one favored weapon to, ya dig?
>>
>>54775172
Wizards are wizards. If a vampire decides to directly combat a man of magic, he deserves to get thoroughly trounced.

and also more difficult, prone to failure, prone to making the mage implode on themselves, and difficult to do with an audience.

Vampires on the other hand can do their work in front of certain audiences, and have no compunction about letting her rip in more scenarios than a mage will. As social parasites.

If the mage doesn't know the proper arcana to assist them in the fight with a vampire, they are more likely to just piss the vamp off than deal the damage they need. If they don't have something that is going to deal agg damage, then they are probably just doing a bunch of bashing.

etc etc etc, like I said it is all about the scenario.

I know dismissive 'mage wins' posts are the go to joke around here, but I would rather have conversations now.

It depends. As I see it, their forms can be mutable, and I just kind of go on whim, with no real set rules.

I've only run one chronicle, but some examples off the top of my head,

Spirit of the city, appeared to simply be the form of the city's original mayor, in period dress, but within the new city hall (which was actually essentially him - he actually used faceless "city clerks" throughout the interior to run the PCs around on various tasks before the real meeting, but they were all part of the whole).

A spirit of an auto plant a queen ant made of rolled steel and manufacturing robot parts, with a colony of lesser spirits serving her needs and working the plant, and protecting the lines from the steel foundries and other related sites in the city.

Those two were the two BIG ones.

This isn't Ascension

>>54775298
Mages don't need 'proper arcana' to deal with Vampires. Even Life will send them flying into a land of regret.
>>
>>54775344
See, I've done a mix.

Animal spirits I tend to have them close to whatever animal they represent. Like, even if an Eagle spirit has started to represent something greater, he still looks like a giant Eagle, but may have other aspects like eyes that always watch you, or feathers that seem to glow like the sun.

But when it comes to mote spirits up to weaker but dangerous spirits, I wonder if it is better to have them just be globs of stuff, or look like walking things with parts of the original thing all stuck in them.

These are the guys you ignore when you are actually trying to run an interesting chronicle.
>>
>>54775406
Why? Because magic is excruciating in Ascension but not in Awakening?
Or is it because your inner self cannot fathom that some things don't mesh well with others?

Either way, hate Mage(old n' new) all you want. It doesn't change how broken it is when used outside of itself.

Not that crossover isn't possible, right?

>>54775457
See, they're utterly useless people. Their posts don't really accomplish much but to dismiss stuff and try to stir shit up.

For motes, I'd make them motes, like little gouts of flame, whispers of wind or mist, bubbling rivulets, small, but clearly alive.

Mage is DaveB's game and his cross to bear, his take on the power level is as much covering his ass as putting his head in the sand.

Since we're all furiously masturbating over DaveB, does anyone have that PDF with a list of collected posts from him?

Anyone who has actually read through Vampire 2e... why are Strix owl related?

Wtf are they even? Like, of all the built up lore of Vampire, why owls made of shadows that act like spirits?
>>
So. Nameless Orders. Anyone come up with any decent ones, plus benefits from the mystery cult initiation?
>>
>>54773484

Play VtM, and roll a character as a Samedi or as a Harbinger of Skulls.
>>
>>54776737
They're things out of the lower depths. Shadow beings. They lack physicality and love the physical aspect of life, so I'd guess aspects of that are what their Depth is missing.

I don't know why owls, but eh. There's a lot of weird old legends about birds, and owls specifically.
>>
>>54776740
I'd would create one...if I was actually able to think up a name for it.

Seeing as there was talk of a Komodo Pangean rather a long time ago, this might make sense
>>
>>54777100
Pangeans have access to Supernal magic as well, if I remember correctly.

in this moment, I am euphoric, not because of any phony exarch's blessing, but because I am enlightened by my own Gnosis.

It is the greatest high, isn't it?

>>54777146
Are Pangeans limited by Arcana?

I ask purely because I wish to know which Paths would readily follow Komodo Dragon.

I have 'The Ferrymen' for my game set in St. Louis.

They're a small regional order that's slowly being absorbed by the Mysterium. Their focus is based on the main mystery in the area 'the tides of magic'. The various rivers and streams feeding into the mississippi form ley lines which are constantly tracing out complex runes in high speech. Which allows mages to take advantage of or suffer from an environmental yantra (stuff like all death spell for the scene have 4 extra free reach, prime spells only require 3 success for exceptional for the scene, all spells cause paradox for the scene, double the mana cost from casting from common arcana, etc.)

The Ferrymen are dedicated to cataloging, predicting, and trying to alter the flow of the local ley lines. St. Louis has recently come under the control of the diamond and the order is split among mages who want to remain independent and mages that want to take advantage of the larger resources and influence the Mysterium can provide.

• To predict the tides the initiate must have an awareness of precedent (gain academics specialty local history)
•• The tides are an incredible resource and every mage would like a head start on upcoming changes for their own obsessions (Gain Contacts • Awakened)
••• The tides can shift quickly and the ferryman must be able to respond (Gain • dot in Investigation)
•••• A ferryman with a proven track record can be the lynchpin for a plan years in the making. Remember to tip the boatman. (Gain Resources •, Status: Councilium ••)
••••• A master ferryman has earned the privilege to reside in 'Stillwater' at the very convergence of all the ley lines (Basically a badass order sanctum with vast magical and mundane resources at your disposal)

Just pick some local folklore, or something from the natives in your area. If there are any. Like, 'lodge of the dreaming' for Australia, or "Ooga booga get in my belly" for PNG.

Yes. You'll want some padding - raid an 80's clothes store for shoulderpads, that sort of thing.
>>
>>54778292
best fashion for my skellingtons?

>raid an 80's clothes store for shoulderpads
Only one Mage has fashion sense quite that dated...Balthazar Bratt!
>>
Zombies are better for fashion. They have meet in their bones
>>
>>54778347
Hoodies with shoulder pads, big baggy workman's cargo pants (the kind with lots of built in pads for 'comfort' to disguise the complete lack of flesh), heavily padded boots so their feet don't move too much, winter gloves, sunglasses, hats, scarves.

if you've got the Matter, maybe transfigure a box of latex gloves into shitty latex face masks to wear under that, to hide any hint of bone.
>>
>>54778292
Oh lord, the shoulder pads. My first love was a *very skinny* - not anorexic, but just a very tiny, skinny girl, and we're talking in the heyday of the 80's shoulder pad fashions - well a little after, she was um, a little behind the times, but I adored her, but now you are conjuring up the memories. Aaah first love, it's never the same after.

Order of the Komodo, we're too dignified to acknowledge that we're a drooling gaggle of cultists. Our hubris is waaay too far off kilter.

A lot of cultures seem to associate owls with death, bad luck, disease and other spoopy things. Not mine, I think they're neat, majestic, pretty fucking awesome birds, as I used to have a pair of barn owls (quite appropriately) living in my barn growing up - they were with us for about 20 years then one died I think because only one still shows up on occasion. Cool animals. As such, the Strix just don't click with me as menacing from the owl imagery.
