In fact, it maybe should be 'breach'. Not capitalized

Yeah, I'm split on the effect myself. On the one hand, I really find static text columns to get dull after a while. On the other hand, it can get a bt confusing. If I could get the table styles to work in InDesign instead of doing each one by hand and eyeball, and I did it over again, I'd probably try to have two box text widths - text that fits in a column and text that fits across both columns. Ah well.My only complaint is with typesetting: the 'sidebars' can be confusing when they exceed the width of the column and edge into unrelated text. Pages 100 & 101 are examples.
Oh, and I just noticed that Bagheera get clinging and Dream Vision can be used while dead.

I'm pretty sure a random Australian dude could still fail to convince me that he is John Howard. Since I don't know what John Howard looks like, even Veil wouldn't help."If a character disguises themselves as former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, a group of American or Asian targets will probably get no test to pierce the impersonation, because they have no idea what kind of mannerisms or opinions the real John Howard has"
I don't like this. It makes Trolls way too stoppable. You should have to stake them with Iron to stop them from getting up spontaneously.Continuous schedule do not gain power points while actually dead (essentially they do not get any more scenes), meaning that it may require the use of some Vampire Blood or something to revive a set of Troll bones.

Yeah, keeping one's mouth shut can work better than prosthetic teeth. Costume contacts are a nice touch, though simply wearing dark glasses works with less hassle.FrankTrollman wrote:CatharzGodfoot wrote:Looks good. The Troglodyte illustration is especially evocative. Seeding as we speak.
That picture is literally me in monster face. I went for the subtle stuff, like pulling my cheeks down and in rather than prosthetic teeth and such. I'm glad you liked it.
[*]"b" in "being "The City"" needs capitalization (p 196).The character can transform their skin into something very hard. Some creatures turn into metal or magically hardened wood. Some creatures get skin that is all craggy or jointed (like The Thing or Colossus from Marvel Comics). Others turn into statues of living stone. Invulnerability is a Protean Discipline. Activating it costs a Simple Action and two power points, and lasts for a scene or until dismissed. While active, the character gains 4 bonus dice when Soaking physical damage and their Strength increases by 2. Electricity does not harm a character having invoked Invulnerability, either because they are too conductive (if metallic) or too insulated (if wood or stone).
Kickstarter.com. This seems like an appropriate use for the site.

That's bad. On the other hand, I can apparently put it on Amazon for sale without one. That's good. But Amazon has price minimums based on how large the file is, so the price for the pdf may be $1.99 or even $2.99. That's bad.

They do not, in fact, have all their current power points.When a character dies, all of their powers that cost Power Points to activate or which otherwise last for a scene end. In addition, anything they have going that could be dispelled is dispelled with their death. A character's Power pool is also emptied at the moment the character actually dies.

Yes... technically, this makes restoration 100% useless for everyone. That's a problem, it needs to be reworded to be able to be applied right before death the first time.Quantumboost wrote:They do not, in fact, have all their current power points.When a character dies, all of their powers that cost Power Points to activate or which otherwise last for a scene end.

Lunar power source characters regain their power points even when dead. Vampires can use restoration on other characters or when fed blood. For others it's unfortunately useless.Kaelik wrote:Yes... technically, this makes restoration 100% useless for everyone.

I think average is supposed to be 3. 6 is the highest that a normal human can get. So a high school football player is probably going to have something like 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2 for attributes and Athletics (football) 3.Kaelik wrote:Regarding the raising of the dead:

Yeah, and of course, Vampires with Gift of health can revive people with Restoration, but I feel like for an advanced power, it should be usable by people who get it, IE strogi/trolls, without relying on someone else doing something specific to them that they have no control over when they are dead.CatharzGodfoot wrote:Lunar power source characters regain their power points even when dead.

No, it totally doesn't work at all for Trolls, because they never get a new scene, so they never get more power points.CatharzGodfoot wrote:Again, it works fine for trolls because they regain all power points after their death scene is over. But I do agree that automatically loosing all power points at death has unfortunate consequences.

I thought part of the point was to prevent people from sucking power points out of corpses or whatever, so I can understand dead people not having points.CatharzGodfoot wrote:buy: http://store.payloadz.com/details/94654 ... ndown.html

And the solution is that characters don't loose power points at death. If they must lose power points, it can be at resurrection.

Troglodytes can already suck power points out of corpses. The other way to do it would be Theft of Vitae iff you can still meaningfully harm a dead corpse.Kaelik wrote:I thought part of the point was to prevent people from sucking power points out of corpses or whatever, so I can understand dead people not having points.
