Anybody here ever heard of a video game called Skullgirls? It'll probably work as pretty good inspiration for Deviant. But what could the playable characters be in the CoD besides Deviants?

I mean, yeah a few of them are definitely deviant designs. Before deviant was announced I would have called them Prometheans and Changelings.

You have people who are sewn back together, or seem to have returned from the dead in some way. The others just seem so fantastical as to be unnatural. Like the girl who looks like an early cartoon, that is changeling material

Though some are more mundane. The spy girl is just a hunter with good gadgets, maybe TFV or Cheiron.

The only question that matters is... wth is Big Band?

There is a wolf-blooded power that makes them irresistible, which is one of those hilarious 'only if your game can handle it' sort of things. Anytime they sweat, anyone who smells or tastes it, wants a trip to pound town.

Like the rules don't say it, but these wolfblooded are pretty much there to be breeders. Keep one in your pack, then when someone needs to let off some stress after a bad hunt or something, send stinky susan into the gym with them and wait for everyone to come out looking refreshed.

You are an idiot. The change Uratha really need is access to aggravated damage that almost all splats have including adept mages, sin eaters and even vamps. Of course this is just my suggestion and names are placeholders
New 5 renown gift know as Weapons of the Father
>Purity Facet is Jaws of the Father. "Of all of Father Wolves weapons his powerful jaws was his most feared." Very high single target aggravated melee range damage
>Cunning Facet is talons of the Father. "Normal wolves aren't known for using their claws as weapons. However Father Wolf is no ordinary wolf". High single target aggravated melee range damage leaves a DoT
>Glory Facet is Howl of the Father. "Father Wolf's terrifying howl was so powerful it was known to sunder mind and spirit." Medium aoe aggravated damage. Exceptional success prevents targets from concentrating
>Wisdom Facet is Spirit of the Father. "Father Wolf in his great wisdom realized that even his essence can be used as a weapon." Expel essence to fire a beam of pure spirit energy from the mouth. Does low to high single target aggravated damage at range depending on how much essence you spend
>Honor Facet is Judgement of the Father. "Father Wolf not only hunted but he Judged those who broke his Iron Law". Judges a target if found guilty all sources of damage dealt to the target inflicts 2 bonus aggravated damage

I am not sure about the cunning or honor facets. If any of you guys have suggestions I am willing to hear them.

Oh it only works on werewolves? I think my idea is more fun mechanically and more useful since it works on everything.
>>
>>55042324
So just bolt on "everything" instead of werewolves, but that's up to you.
>>
>>55042064
Aggravated is overall hard to get in this system by design. Likewise healing damage is still tricky.

Werewolves have the advantage of just shitting out a lot of damage without much investment. and they can take a shit ton of damage, with their regen. As a combat splat they're in a good place.

I would suggest just making a rite that gives them agg in some form. Like>>55042125 but in a general case. So it's more thematic and plot important. I will say straight up aoe agg damage is shit broken idea.
>>
>>55041622
>How come woofs can't eat spirits for essence?

They can.
>>
>>55042064
That's stupidly OP. Reminds me of something though.
>First Class (•)
>Prerequisite: Werewolf
>Effect: When in the general vicinity of a vampire, a werewolf always does aggravated damage to anyone they attack. On an exceptional success while attacking a vampire, targets with Blood Potency lower than the werewolf's Primal Urge are instantly vaporized.
>Drawback: To take advantage of the power the merit offers, werewolves have been known to go into battle with vampires strapped to their backs, forcing opponents to kill the creature before the werewolf kills them.

Working more on the idea for a Pacific Northwest sept spanning across the US and Canadian border. Tell me if this sounds too much; one of the Caerns is staunch in the hands of the Black Furies. The ruling Elder and her pack there have several smaller packs of Furies and Children of Gaia working for them, and their mission statement is to moonbridge over into war torn regions to rescue women and children, refugees, and give them shelter and food to live off of. In exchange, they also train the children (girls) how to fight and use weaponry so they will always be able to defend themselves.

Sounds pretty benign, right? Most of the ancillary packs believe they are doing a Good Thing. However.. the Fury elder is actually using them to amass an army of loyal and zealous undocumented child soldiers she can use to commit acts of (domestic) terrorism back in the states and Canada, and abroad as well by passing them off again as refugees. She is not Wyrm tainted yet but clearly has a fucked up agenda that the PCs will have to come to terms with.

>>
>>55043511
That seems okay.

If that is the case, that is probably the only extra thing the spell is doing. Because they will spend a reach to make it instant, and then need a reach to make it agg damage. There goes all the easy reach. They need to have lifted their gnosis (to 3? or is it just 2) to even get to 4 dots in an arcana. Plus if they try to attach anything more, they actually risk paradox (which they will just absorb because Paradox is a baby now, but whatever).
>>
>>55043429

Terrorism is an active problem today. Fight the man is a sentiment that is still deeply rooted in our Western society and politics and is only getting uglier as the years go by, at least in the US.

But it seems you are coming at this with an agenda instead of providing any actual criticism. I'm sorry you dislike Apocalypse. However, I did not make my post with the intention of being sold on Forsaken or for you to turn it into a rip on Apocalypse. If you don't like Apocalypse that's fine but please go start your own conversation elsewhere about why you think its bad.

No, I said it is very much rooted in the 90s aesthetic.
Terrorism today is not the same as it was in the 80s and 90s, and the punk aesthetic that Apoc is based on has faded away as much as the goth aesthetic that VtM is based on has.
Stop thinking you need to defend Apoc from criticism on the internet, there is no fucking "Agenda", and you literally came here asking for critique. That said, I think your themes would work better in Forsaken without needed the hidebound ideology baked into Apoc.

Gnosis has to be at 4 to get 4 dots in an Arcana. This isn't a one-to-one thing though. Adept level is the first one blocked by a Gnosis requirement. You can have Arcana at 3 at Gnosis 1.

Chances of Paradox also increase as your Gnosis gets higher, iirc, but using your Dedicated Tool and spending a Mana can reduce the chance, and then they can contain it for resistant bashing damage.
>>
>>55043930
So the argument stands at being able to get agg damage for a cost that is less than the benefit?
>I apologize, I am not into Mage at all
>>
>>55043930
I just checked the chart. At gnosis 3 your primary arcanum can be at 4. All the others are stuck at 3 though.

You can also have 3 yantras at that point, so that helps. But is unrelated to the conversation.
>>
While Mage allows the infliction of potential Defense-free aggravated damages at a distance at only 4 dots in an Arcanum, employing such a capability is usually not resource or tactically sound. In fact, most direct attacks such as fraying or unraveling are less efficient than more indirect or creative uses of the Arcana.

For instance, a Forces Adept can can bathe an opponent in aggravated damage fire, but it would cost a mana, require more than his free Reach, and only do 4 damage before dice penalties. Instead, he could simply nullify gravity at almost no cost, and either effectively take out his opponent or inflict far more damage dropping him from hundreds of feet in the air.
>>
>>55043975
>At gnosis 3 your primary arcanum can be at 4
Right, my bad. I was thinking about how Mastery requires five for your Ruling but six for the others.

>You can also have 3 yantras at that point, so that helps
Sure, but only one yantra can be used reflexively. Using more adds a turn to the casting time for each additional yantra.
>>
>>55044110
A turn is only 3 seconds right? That really isn't too bad
>>
>>55044110
Oooh. For some reason I thought reflexive yantras went up too. I still haven't played mage 2e yet though so I'm learning!

>>55045136
Taking advantage of a weakness isn't the same as having access almost as a matter of course.
No one is complaining about wolves taking agg from silver, or vamps from fire.

Why does it have to be the same level of difficulty for every splat?
>>
>>55045156
That's not how it works
>>
>>55045165
Why shouldn't there be some manner of parity between splats?
It makes for a smoother, more logical play time in practice, especially for rookies or people who don't trawl the internet looking for the "Win" button.
>>
>>55045159
I mean the attack just does agg. But the fluff is that it takes on the nature of the enemies bane.
>>
>>55045179
Yes. Yes, that's how it works. Spending one Reach and a point of Mana on an Unraveling spell upgrades it from Lethal to Aggravated.

Wizards be scary, yo'
>>
>>55045187
>Why shouldn't there be some manner of parity between splats?
Because internal mechanics and consistency matter more than equality.

>It makes for a smoother, more logical play time in practice, especially for rookies or people who don't trawl the internet looking for the "Win" button.
I don't even understand what point you're trying to make here.

>>55045335
Being potentially stronger than other splats or able to do things more easily isn't a reason to be nerfed.
>>
>>55045286
>Because internal mechanics and consistency matter more than equality.
That isn't really an explanation. Where is the internal consistency as it regards the setting compared to other creatures? It was a dev choice outside of such considerations.
>I don't even understand what point you're trying to make here.
That stronger parity promotes faster and more cohesive understanding of the game mechanics for the player, unless you think Ivory Tower design is an ideal?
>>55045364
>potentially
They are, anon, and it's fairly obvious. There is nothing wrong with the kind of versatility mages get, there is something wrong when that versatility is also tied to more raw power for less cost.
All of this also makes it harder for an ST to challenge the players sensibly, and no, throwing cosmic threats at the players is not the answer when it flies in the face of internal consistency and the players' actions.

So you want things to be more samey.

>They are, anon, and it's fairly obvious
Not every Mage is stronger than every other member of every other splat.

>there is something wrong when that versatility is also tied to more raw power for less cost
Why?

>All of this also makes it harder for an ST to challenge the players sensibly
Literally every other Mage has potential access to the same things the players do. Resources, powers, knowledge, etc. You don't need to throw cosmic threats at them to challenge them.

Man, then Prometheans must be super OP.

Any promethean can get aggravated damage on supernatural creatures without needing any higher Azoth.

They just need to be taught a complex refinement. Which require a tiny bit of work, but not much. Refinement of Silver, Clade alembic, gives you access to agg damage on any supernatural.

You can then calcify it, and even when you change refinements you'll always be able to take on whatever supernatural you set yourself to.

I think you guys are missing the biggest thing about Mages and Aggravated damage.

They can do it at a distance.
>>
>>55045612
Not missing it, the fact they can do it from the other side of the planet is moot, when all mages who want to can.

Just because faggot vampires cant isnt a reason to nerf mages. Mages need that shit because the stuff they face isnt a hobo down an alley but a world eating alien spirit..
>>
>>55045640
Can you cast aimed spells at sympathetic range? Like if you did with a thunderbolt, would it just materialize from thin air and hit the target?
>>
>>55045640
or other mages
>>
>>55045122
>Claws of the UnHoly

There a some significant downsides to the merit. You can *only* do aggravated damage with them, and only while in frenzy. You might end up killing friends and allies.

At four dots in any Arcana, mages can inflict aggravated damage at their discretion at a distance, including multiple targets and area of effect.
>>
>>55045659
No, its sensory/sympathetically or aimed
>>
>>55045659
Thunderbolt isnt a aimed spell, aimed means something else in mage, it means your throwing the spell at somebody. By default spells arnt aimed.
>>
>>55045640
>Mages need that shit because the stuff they face isnt a hobo down an alley but a world eating alien spirit.

Spooky shadow birds vs. sentient alternate timelines.

Even with long-distance aggravated damage, mages are often under-powered within their own setting.
>>
>>55045659
So yes you can thunderbolt somebody from elsewhere and it will appear near them and hit them.
>>
>>55045713
Everyone always says this.
But Mages don't even have a standard enemy besides other mages, and whatever spooky stuff comes out of 'the abyss'.
>>
>>55045701

By default, spells are Self/Touch range. Such spells can be thrown. For a Reach, a spell can be upgraded to Sensory, which is an automatic hit without any Defense.
>>
>>55045728
>besides other mages

Who also can inflict distance aggravated damage.

Never forget that the entirety of mage society is premises on mutually assured destruction.
>>
>>55045730
>>55045722
Well when you cast something like thunderbolt sympathetically it comes out your hand into a portal in front of you than a portal opens up in front of your target and than the lightening bolt comes out and one shots your target.
>>
>>55045801
Opening a portal isnt mentioned in sympathetic casting in 2e, it could easily just come down from the sky near the target, targets no longer get to cast back through a portal like in 1e so doesnt have to be a physical portal etc.
>>
>>55045801
You could just as easily stab a voodoo doll of somebody and have them in pain via life cast sympathetically, a portal doesnt open and you need to stab them with the pin..
>>
>>55044948
At creation a Demon can have 3 sources of aggravated damage. One being 0A melee or short ranged, one being 2A melee and thirb being long range, hun damage rate of A damage. It takes 2 form power slots and one exploit slot.
>>
Why don't mages get along with other supernaturals? Don't mages have more than enough lawn furniture?

Their knowledge, power and versatility would seem to make them the perfect crossover splat, certainly far better than beasts and their developer fiat "everybody like me" power.

>>
>>55045890

At 4 dots in any Arcanum, mages can do a whole lot of stuff, with aggravated damage at a distance (including area of effect) as just the tip of the magical iceberg.

Gaining a dot in an Arcanum is way better that raising a supernatural power for any other splat.

>>55045940
You can assume full demonic from WITHOUT going loud. And Acidic Spit deals aggravated damage on short distance or as a bite attack during a grab. There's also Cavernous Mouth that allows you to deal 2A damage with a bite. Both are available during character creation to a demonic form.

Then there is Hellfire, an Exploit. To get it you need either Check Backdrop or Merciless Gunman Embeds. You can get one of those embeds and Hellfire as a part of your 4 Embeds/Exploits package during character creation. It amps a damage of any of your firearms into aggravated.

None of that requires going Loud.

>>55045931
I am not arguing against Arcanum being very cost efficient. Just pointing out that other splats have access to aggravated damage easier and faster than Mages.
>>
>>55045902
Then the thunderbolt appears from somewhere and hits them. Unless the thunderbolt spell says that it originates from you then it doesnt need too. If you cast thunderbolt at sensory range you could have the bolt appear from anywhere and hit your target.
>>
>>55046013
>Just pointing out that other splats have access to aggravated damage easier and faster than Mages.

Yeah, like two.

Mages are also more proficient with dishing out Aggravated damage, period.

>>55045897
They could.
They just have a bad reputation because like most supernaturals, outsiders don't know the 'good' ones from the bad.

So werewolves judge mages on all mages. Even the jerk seer, the banisher, the mad, and the high gnosis guy who came through that one time and turned the alpha into a frog for a day.

So the general attitude for all the werewolves who talk to each other is 'watch out for mages. They can be real cunts.'
>>
>>55046044
Demons, Vampiers and Promethans. So three. Also, yes. Mages focused on something are going to be better at that thing than any other splat.

Claws of the Unholy isn't really a good example. It's kind of a crippled Merit. Very situational.

Mages and Demons aren't restricted by situation.

I honestly can't tell if the people arguing that Mages are universally superior with agg are Magefags or Mage haters that are trying to stick to the idea that easier access to agg is another example of Mage privilege and is bad.

We know this much, mages are the only splat who can dish out aggravated damage, at distance, over an area of effect, without actually have to be there, and then only at 4 dots in a power.

Adept status among mages is not uncommon, particularly when many mages are Disciples at character creation.

Also, referencing Master-level mage Practices is practically "cheating" in these discussions. Few, if anyone other than other mages, have much hope of ever challenging a master.

>>55046207
Take it up with the book. Thunderbolt is a four dot Unraveling spell, and the Mage does indeed conjure it from no other source of existing energy. Likewise, Firebolt from the AA book is also four dots.
>>
I think we should all just learn to live with it
>>
>>55046271
>but it really is a daily thing now isn't it?

Meh, it fills the gap between the now rare release of new CofD material

Once Changeling and Geist 2e are released it will settle down.
>>
>>55046235
I didn't say it was rare or uncommon. Just that describing it as "only four dots" is inaccurate. You also need to be at least Gnosis 3 to have one Arcanum at Adept level. It's not like you can make the leap to Adept as soon as you get 4 Experiences, unless you dump all of your merit points in Gnosis, which is really boring and stupid imo.

Unraveling doesn't allow you to make or create energy. So where is this thunderbolt coming from. It's not the same as call lightning where your are directing one from a storm. Same as the firebolt spell. Where is the fire coming from? Making energy like electricity and fire is master level making practice

They would need some source of electricity then to be able to shoot it out, right?

Are we talking about Awakening 2e? Thunderbolt is a Prime 4 Patterning spell, not unraveling. It doesn't create from nothing, it "channels ambient energies."
>>
>>55046641
Character I'm building for an upcoming 2e game is Chinese American. Half and half, mom immigrated to the states with her grandmother. He's bilingual, speaks Mandarin as well as English. He's going to be Mastigos, so it's not even especially useful, but he's going to have it as a merit from the start. Part of his backstory involves being a runaway, so he'll have one dot in Alternate Identity from the start. I also want him to have a Familiar, Mentor, and Sanctum, right from the start. Depending on how things go he might also have Contacts, right from the start.

This isn't being a "pro roleplayer", it's just being a regular roleplayer.

>>55046937
From the errata:
"Thunderbolt: Is a Patterning spell, and has been reworded to make it clear that it works by Patterning ambient energies to gather and strike at the subject."

If your pdf says otherwise, you have the uncorrected version. I believe only the final version has an index at the back; does yours?

>>55046965
Not a lot has changed. See the errata here: theonyxpath com/awakening-2e-errata-mage-the-awakening/

It's right up there with all the errata to "clarify" things for the autists that game.
I had a transitioning mtf in my Werewolf game, and I had to think for a moment how other wolves would pick up their scent.
>>
Why would Thunderbolt be Prime and not Forces?
>>
>>55047225
It is Forces 4
>>
>>55047205
And what did you choose? Male i hope. Probably gay though what
>>
>>55047205
Probably depends where they are in their transition.

In the end, it would be unique enough that not being 100% sure would be more than enough information to track them.
>>
Ephemeral Shield no longer needs Reach to defend against the "powers of spiritual monsters like werewolves", according to the errata. Likewise, Death can defend against the powers of any Death based entity. Including vampires and strix,
>>
>>55047302
Makes sense. Don't know why it would require more when those people technically count under that purview.
>>
>>55047205
Medical transition as a werewolf is for suckers. You want to get Luna's Embrace from the Gifts of Change. There's no roll, it costs 1 essence and switches your sex permanently until you use the power again. Thanks spirits!

To a degree. It says they wanted to make it clear that not all attack spells fall under Unraveling or Fraying.

No, I'm assuming that uratha do not conform to human standards of who is honored family or not.
Pack is pack, anon, no matter how much you are trying to make some manner of issue about it.
It's not to me, or to most people who live in the real world. It's only on 4chan that I see people complaining about tumblr/sjws/insert other in their games, and I care not to get involved unless it actively becomes a problem.
Granted, I did boot the player some months later, but it was not related to that issue in the slightest.

Why did you boot them?

>>55047882
Fluff is what matters, didn't you see the anon going on about internal consistency?
Thunderbolt in particular was about gathering already present atmospheric forces to a desired effect, which is why it became patterning.

Are you serious? Practices are the entire foundation for creative thaumatargy
>>
>>55047888
The player had attitude issues, wasn't gelling with the game themes as stated by myself or with the other players.
After several repeated incidents, I gave him his walking papers after a group vote.
>>
>>55047904
I wasn't accusing. I was just asking if there was anything else that would make it matter. Like spells that only worked against certain practices or something.

>>55047927
I'm serious. Elaborate.
>>
>>55047882
Without practices you wouldn't know what dot level a spell would be from
>>
>>55047882
It matters a lot for Creative Thaum. The Practices are barred by dot level in an Arcanum, and you have to hash out with your ST what the spell does, how it does it, and what Practice it would fall under. And from there you work with the mechanics.
>>
>>55047941
Likely just trying to spread out the practices, rather than tying everything to a handful of common ones.
>>
>>55047951
No I mean, Patterning vs Unraveling. Is there anything in the rules that cares about that distinction?
>>
>>55047937
>Not gelling with game themes
What does that mean exactly?

>>55047937
Wanting to play a trannie should have red flagged it for you much sooner.

Patterning is changing while unraveling is only damage

>This game will be about subterfuge, politics, and overcoming personal hardship.
>That Guy makes a murderhobo and insists on solving everything with fisticuffs.

That is an obvious example, and I'm not even that anon.
>>
>>55048018
Wouldn't unraveling also work for ripping apart something that consists of the purview. Like ripping a chunk of rock apart with matter.

And anyway, since some of the other patterns can also do damage, wouldn't that make Unraveling 'limited' in scope? Since clearly Patterning can also deal damage.
>>
>>55047993
I had expressly stated that I wanted the game to be about regular people finding themselves in exceptional circumstances, fighting against the world for the sake of a scarcely remembered Original Sin and against seemingly impossible odds that wanted to take everything from them.
>>55048009
I don't consider anything a "red flag" because I consider everything in actual practice and not theory or being afraid of what might be.
I have made some very off kilter characters, and there was no issue because my GMs extended trust to me that I would do right, and I took that lesson to heart. It led to some of my most memorable pcs, not because of their quirks, which are transient at the end of the day.
There is nothing scary about a transitioning pc outside what you yourself foist on them, imo, or any other concept that /tg/ would howl about being special snowflake. If they act like a cunt, the player is the problem, not the concept.
>>
>>55048039
>overcoming personal hardship

trannies fit right in then.
>>
If I miss an aimed spell, does it still takes effect wherever it lands?I wouldn't think so, because the Imagos what made with a specific target in mind, but I don't know if it is stated anywhere.
>>
>>55047917
>Mike Pence
>Tetrarch of the Unity wouldn't notice such a lowly sleeper

No silly, everyone knows Mike Pence is a Minister of The Father.
>>
>>55043098
I think that fits very well and, if nothing else it would make a great "oh shit!" Moment for the players.
>>
>>55048203
It would probably act like any missed firearm attack, only causing a problem if there are a lot of possible targets to hit, otherwise falling harmlessly to the wayside (as harmlessly as it can).

I mean, is the imagos made with a specific target in mind with an aimed spell? Seems like an aimed spell means you made a projectile and a trajectory, and will hit whatever you manage to.
>>
>>55048061
Unraveling isn't 'damage' so much as it is 'destruction'. You're destroying a Pattern, pulling threads out. Mind Flay is a good example of an Unraveling attack spell. Directly wreaking destruction on someone's mind. For a Reach, you can make them insane. As a Practice it isn't as inherently versatile as Patterning or even Weaving, but in application it can still be used creatively. And what a Practice can't do matters just as much as what it can. Compelling can't force an outcome, Ruling can't force a state change, etc.

So, the Shaniatu (I will never be able to spell that right) the powerful guys who made the mummies.

What were they? Mages? Pangeans? I feel like someone on OPP implied they could be connected to Scorpion, as in the Pangean god Scorpion.

Their powers are so strong that they reached a level of spellcraft unknown by anyone but supernal mages. The Rite of Return is one of the most powerful spells ever put together, clearly.

But it doesn't quite seem to be supernal magic, does it?
>>
>>55048642
They were Sorcerer-Priests. A different kind of magic. Possibly Archmage-tier. Nobody knows for certain.

>>55048683
>Mage was a mistake

Why?
>>
>>55048674
I know that the game was made right before 2e, but it is interesting that neither book has much to say about each other (mage about mummies, mummy about mages). Because you just know there were mages around at the time, they were already up and running 1000 years prior to Irem (though in a much crappier society). So unless the sorcerer-priests killed any who awakened in their region, the mage traditions would have touched what they were doing.

If an Archmage casts an Imperial spell in the Supernal, does it really affect the entire universe?
>>
Idea for Mage NPC: Acanthus Libertine whose Awakening involved him being "sent into the distant future" and talking with "Sufficiently Advanced Aliens" (actually Supernal Fae), who showed him how he could change the world into a futuristic utopia. The problem is that his Awakening ended before he could finish talking to the Fae and writing the blueprints based on their instructions. Now he is looking to finish what he started by joining the Thaumatech Enginners Legacy and using his Blueprint Digital Scroll Artifact to find the right times and places where "alien tech and beings" can be found to further his utopic designs.
>>
>>55048833
Does it explain anything about mages in Irem, though?

My guess is that like the Cwn Annwn, Iremite practices are Lower Depths stuff that's very entropic, very sacrifice-oriented, and mages were more valuable (and safer for the Shan'iatu) dead than alive. Maybe they had to kill mages to put the Pillars up.
>>
>>55046869
Dang, I completely forgot to respond to this.

I've had a few, really.

In one of my first games, The daughter of a man turned into a Promethean got back in contact with the Promethean of her father. So they took their company and together used it to further his pilgrimage. They weren't big, but his spreading wasteland eventually shut down the whole little town he was hiding in, and that's what brought the players in (their cars all stopped outside the town over the course of a few days, bringing them all together)
>>
>>55048866
Of course not. Galaxy wide maybe but definitely not universal
>>
>>55048866
The Supernal symbolically represents everything, so yes.
If an Archmage -really- wanted to turn gravity into cotton candy, he could do it.

The Pax will slap him silly though.

Outside of that, it can only go as far as Sensory Range.
>>
>>55048967
A spell hits everything
Then that spell is undone in a way that made it never happen
Does it matter if it ever happened?

What can an archmage get done for sure, that wouldn't 'be undone by the pax' that those mages lower than him couldn't do?
>>
>>55048967
>>55048996
You idiots are confusing Archmages with Ascended mages
>>
>>55049024
No, they're not. Archmages can enter the Supernal (for a time) and fuck with the symbols therein.
>>
>>55048929
More recent I had a factory that was actually an occult matrix made by the God-Machine. The whole idea was that the GM was taking a small ritual, and repeating it factory style, in an attempt to create something. It had control over a whole factory town, everyone heading to work every day, but not realizing what they were doing once in there (they sort of entered a fog). They just all knew they were 'happy' with their work, and clocked out each day, then came back the next day.

People were burning themselves out, because of the magical compulsion to work work work work work.

The leader of the factory was an over the top 'synergy leads to better results' fluff talk boss type. The whole building was plastered with TVs that occasionally played videos of him giving uplifting messages, posters with his face on it, etc.

The PC and her crew snuck in to figure out what was going on, because they noticed an angel (principle style) hanging around the town.

In the end they realized that the factory workers were effectively a cult, and their rituals were building into a giant ritual. The assistant to the charming boss man was actually an angel (GM style) in disguise that had dominion over the building, able to spy using the security cameras, speak through the screens, etc. She went into a big scary angel form to fight off the PC and friends, but they managed to bring the whole factory down as the ritual was coming to completion.

Werewolves can deal aggravated damage by eating their enemy.

I feel like this sets a bad precedent. You could in theory make any kind of energy you want by Patterning "ambient energies". It's essentially off-brand Making. I mean, I would at least say reflect the "channeling" part by making it take time, like the spell takes two turns or something as Instant, and with Reach you can can do it in one, hastening the channeling. And I would apply that to all similar Pattering Forces spells that players would make in Creative Thaum. Like you could channel ambient energies into an AoE fire bomb spell, but it takes two turns without Reach, because you're channeling.
>>
>>55049679
Anything relying on "ambient energies" would fail in their absence. Makings wouldn't. There isn't always enough ambient energy for a lightning bolt, like if the characters are underground in a building with no electricity. The spell might also be limited in effect if there's some energy, but not much. Can't get a lethal lightning bolt out of a couple of old batteries.
>>
>>55049732
Doesn't matter. It's Patterning. Any energy around would be taken and transformed. That's what Patterning does. Changes something to another thing entirely. Light, heat, sound, motion, radiation, plus electricity. All "ambient energies" that could be channeled and transformed. Hence why I feel like the process of the spell should be reflected better. Maybe throw some bits about frost lingering on heat depleted surfaces, light bulbs dead but not broken, your cell phone totally drained, etc. Just for flavor.

Bolstering electricity from an existing source would be Weaving, by the way.

Question, which Watchtower would this character Awaken to?
>>
>>55049929
Thrysus. Talks to a dog, loves to take in... uh... nature. Always hungry for more food like a ravenous beast.
>>
>>55049929
Acanthus.
>>
>>55049929
Watchtower of the Singing Stone AKA Thyrsus
>>
>>55049929
Thyrsus, no doubt. Takes Time as his tertiary and Acceleration as a Rote.

He owns the van and has great "snacks."

No one said Hunters were the brightest bulbs in the CofD.
>>
>>55050187
Shaggy uses First Impressions to seem harmless and goofy. Scooby-Doo is so genuinely low-powered that his main contribution is occasionally alerting the party to danger ("Ruh roh!").
>>
>>55050187
Freddie obvious the jock with a chip on his shoulder. Plus Shaggy is like so on the down low. He's usually getting into trouble and then getting bailed out. They probably just think Shaggy is just talking to his dog and just adding his dog voice
>>
>>55050231
>>55050228
True. Considering how goofy Shaggy is, and the sleeper's curse, it is possible Freddie thinks Scoob is the more supernatural of the two, and uses him to his advantage.

Might also explain why as seasons got later, Freddie was less likely to be around. At some point he realized what was up and bailed.

Especially after Scrappy was around.

That's straight from the Forsaken 2e core.

Definitely a Gulmoth.

Shaggy is a shitty mage.
>>
>>55050284
Luna and Father Wolf are both spirit beings. They naturally have no set gender.

This isn't PC propaganda, it's part of the lore.
>>
>>55050421
No it isn't. Father Wolf is never mentioned to be anything but male in 2e core.

Shaggy is an Apostate. He didn't want to hook up with any Orders because they all just need to like, chill out, man. So he's low key pursuing Mysteries with a Hunter who only wants to trap terrorizing monsters. Daphne is a Spring Court Changeling (help me out here Changelingfags) and I don't know what Velma would be.
>>
>>55049929
Probably Thyrsus or Acanthus, but I like him better as a Sin-Eater (Scooby would be his Geist).
>>
>>55050552
Velma was replaced with a Demon she made a deal with a long long time ago. But the cover is perfect. It lets her follow the gang, who always get into trouble, and run into crazy stuff that sometimes might be GM related.
>>
>>55050552
Velma has to be the shadow bone werewolf. who loses her glasses all the time but never gets killed because of it

Why everyone complain about mages and crossovers when banning creative thaum solves all the problems?

They have a locked sub-reddit.
But no, just normal 4chan. Not even mages are stupid enough to go some knockoff chan.

>>55051454

No, that that just ruins one of the most fundamental parts of the game.

Creative Thaumaturgy is entirely the point of Mage, you dumb sack of shit.
>>
>>55051445
Free Council book says yes.
>>
>>55051454
Hah no it wont, unless other splats can learn to fly or avoid gravity and numerous other stuff mages can do without even using creative thaum.

Play mage or werewolf or vampire or demon, dont ruin the theme of whatever game by allowing any other crossover, if people want a crossover its because they are trying to be edgy fuckers and they are the problem not individual self contained rpgs
>>
>>55051503
Most of the splats have a way to fly.

Miss the point much? mages dont need creative thaum to shit all over other splats.

Boo hoo, Deal with it.

At that point, just use hedge mages and call them Awakened. It's not the end of the world and you can avoid the more powerful Rotes.
>>
>>55051445
>Is there some type of magic 4chan or Reddit that mages use?

Oh yes, and Network Zero has been trying to crack it for years.

Unfortunately, the code and passwords are all in High Speech runes, and cannot be understood or used by anyone but mages.

The Pentacle forum is rumored to be hidden in a locked subforum on a knitting advice website, but no mage is willing to confirm or deny.

What is the general opinion on Thouthand Years of Night? Because my opinion is low. They spend years on this book, and as the result we just got a collection of tropes, small gallery of monsters and... little to none mechanics. 6+ lvl of disciplenes? Why would I need that for my game. Sheere monstrosity of 1000 years old cused person? Lol, no. They are just like ancilae, but older. That's just ridiculous. They know what we expected, they know that we've read clanbooks. Remember that Daeva lady, who shaped sexual preferences of an entire generation of american males using only her looks? Remeber the terror she infused in her younger clanmate? Oh, oh, how about scary fuckers from Gangrel clanbook, who just didn't recembled humans anymore? Those were really creepy, and we expected more! What have got? Detective L and 3 of his ghouls.
Complete and utter garbage. Why do we need that book if we already have much berret ancient monsters and you offer us no mechanics?
>>
>>55052844
Yeah disappointment was the prevalent reaction to TYoN around here.
>>
>>55052844
I was disappointed about no more The Unholy.

But the coon from the Gangrel Clanbook was my favourite. He was so lazy and racist that he didn't manage to become utterly inhuman like the rest and was a happy friend to other vampires. Amazing. If only he was drinking metho.
