Will run IXstyle, small and changing parties working roughly together. Mixed Trad chantry based in Devon, but trotting all over the world and beyond.

Ascension War Intensity Level set to 'lukewarm'. Technocrat Villainy Level set to 'mottled dark grey'.

Quint may be used after rolls.

NB

  • By general preference of the playerbase we will be using XP Based Chargen: Mage, but note the following:
  • Arete 3 is free.
  • Talent/Skill/Knowledge distinctions are erased. Pool ability points and assign otherwise as normal. All abilities have the same cost EXCEPT Academics, Craft, Lore, Perform and Science, which are field abilities at half cost in FP and XP. The first dot of a field ability costs 2XP. Cosmology and Enochian are fields of Academics, while Subdimensions is a field of Science.
  • 56/32/24 xp for attributes. 80 xp for the pooled abilities. 65 xp for spheres. 60 'FP' xp. Some leeway will be allowed w/r/t favoured spheres - trads are political, not metaphysical, organisations.
  • Your natural foci must be clear and limited (until high arete). A +1 'marginal foci' difficulty modifier will exist for envelope-pushing. There should be relatively straightforward (though not common) circumstances under which you cannot use magick.
  • The starting characters should have some group loyalty. They don't have to like one another, but they shouldn't be basically hostile/incompatible/uncaring. The chantry has been established for at least a few months.
    • Exceptions may apply for orphans/defectors to be rescued.
