Tohunga (Feb 11, 2011 5:41:27 PM)
i'm just off to drop some documentation off to a government firm in town, i'll be back later if you need help billy

So, Mage.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:42:35 PM)
Best game EVAH!

Tohunga (Feb 11, 2011 5:42:35 PM)
best of luck, i have my own ethernaut in the database, though different likely to what you have in mind ... so you might be able to grab some insights from me with that in time if that is where you end up persuing

Tarra Shapiro (Feb 11, 2011 5:42:38 PM)
Mage.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:43:25 PM)
The biggest problem i've had sofar is the magic/essance/willworking duality thing

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:43:38 PM)
Magic is magick dude.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:43:55 PM)
the Essence is basicly the flavor your Avatar takes on

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:43:58 PM)
yea, but they expect an explination on how mine works.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:44:11 PM)
Yup

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:44:16 PM)
i can never get a good explination going.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:44:24 PM)
Take Connor for instance

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:44:30 PM)
He's an Elementalist

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:44:40 PM)
Avatar is Ifrit

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:44:45 PM)
the Fire Djinn

(This user has entered Mage Talks) (IP = 24.215.89.31)

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:02 PM)
Yes, i'm somewhat in the know.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:05 PM)
A demi-god so powerful, that just by looking at it, you spontaniously combust

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:19 PM)
Look, you want my help? Don't get an attitude, sit and listen

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:33 PM)
nono, i was telling you i was on your page...

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:39 PM)
Ah

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:45 PM)
My appoligies

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 71.227.165.154)

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:45:56 PM)
's ok, please continue.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:46:28 PM)
Ifrit doesn't like Connor just sitting and doing nothing. It's always pushing him to learn new things, be dynamic, DO something.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:46:34 PM)
That is the essence of your avatar

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:48:18 PM)
hmm.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:48:42 PM)
like a demon if they have low legacy kinda?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:48:52 PM)
I guess? I don't play demon

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:04 PM)
well i getcha.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:12 PM)
Ok...Willworking is just that

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:12 PM)
Avatar's usually seem like seperate entities, though.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:20 PM)
Yeah

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:27 PM)
Not like legacy in demon.

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:31 PM)
unless its a techie

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:49:35 PM)
They are...Avatars are bits of the universe left over from the big bang.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:50:23 PM)
it's an embodiment of the mages power?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:50:35 PM)
Yes and no

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:50:48 PM)
The Avatar awakens the mage to the posibility of willworking

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 5:51:04 PM)
all mortals have avatar though, right?

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:51:15 PM)
like a magical catalyst?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:51:16 PM)
Once you get to higher levels of arete, the Mage begins to understand that it's his will that powers his magick

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:51:24 PM)
No, Mortals don't have an avatar

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 5:51:35 PM)
they dont have awakened avatar

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:51:54 PM)
They don't have one period

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:52:06 PM)
only willworkers have them

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 5:52:07 PM)
where does it say that in the book?

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:52:58 PM)
not improtant.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:53:04 PM)
important*

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:53:34 PM)
anyway. Avatar latches on to you...says "hey...do this"

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:55:14 PM)
Yea.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:55:40 PM)
So that's an avatar.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:56:11 PM)
Anyway...As you get higher in arete (magicakl understanding) You realize it's your will that drives the magick, not Foci, not the Avatar..

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:56:24 PM)
dope.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:56:54 PM)
time of judgement's got a book that raises your arete hella in one read^^

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:56:58 PM)
anyway.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:57:01 PM)
sry^^

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:57:21 PM)
Arete doesn't represent 'understanding'. That realization is a sidee-ffect.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:57:22 PM)
Yeah, that book doesn't exist right now, because we're not going on Time of Judgement

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:57:57 PM)
arete i thought was your "potency" with your magic.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:58:03 PM)
Arete is literally your power stat. Billy is right.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:58:14 PM)
It is, But it's also an understanding of the universe.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:58:15 PM)
Everything else is a side-effect of the power you have. it's in the core.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:58:27 PM)
Understanding of the universe is the spheres.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 5:58:28 PM)
You can't be more powerful, if you can't understand what you're doing

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 5:59:16 PM)
*shrugs* It's all in the book, but what Conner is saying really is what most player believe, so you won't be led astray from what either of us is saying.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 5:59:49 PM)
i figured that's how it was.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:01:26 PM)
Hmm , Essance.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:01:56 PM)
Essence is the attitude of your Avatar

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:02:17 PM)
Does it Drive you, does it let you go at your own pace...is it a ballance, or is it apathetic and just doesn't care

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:03:45 PM)
Avatars can't be apathetic.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:03:51 PM)
i was thinking entropic : seething, it would goad me to amass power and stay alert.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:04:12 PM)
What you're thinking of is resonance

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:04:19 PM)
Yep, that's resonance.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:04:22 PM)
oh, shit.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:04:57 PM)
Essence is just that. Dynamic, Questing, Static, and one other, i can't remember

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:04 PM)
Entropy.

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:08 PM)
primordial

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:12 PM)
oh damn.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:13 PM)
Primordial

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:17 PM)
yea, that's it^^

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:23 PM)
i'm reading it now.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:35 PM)
Resonance is YOUR flavor of magic

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:49 PM)
Every mage has a resoanance...It's how we know who did it

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:05:56 PM)
and essance is the type of dish?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:06:15 PM)
No...As i said...essance is only for the Avatar...it's the Attitude.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:06:28 PM)
oh, i cont confused on that,i see.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:06:43 PM)
got* not cont

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:06:48 PM)
It's ok man...Takes a bit to learn mage.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:07:02 PM)
out of all the games...It's the easiest to play..but also the most complex

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 6:07:15 PM)
i have an essence and resonance

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:07:18 PM)
Demon was tough to get a hang of.

Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Feb 11, 2011 6:08:22 PM)
which means something is driving me..... but he is not a mage

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:08:26 PM)
Questing essance seems like the one i would pick.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:08:53 PM)
So the middle of the road one.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:09:30 PM)
Is that it? i thought it would be specificly improvement based.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:09:41 PM)
Questings a good one for newbies to take. Avatar's not to pushy, not to apathetic

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:09:48 PM)
Nah, that's Dynamic

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:09:52 PM)
?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:09:54 PM)
That one pushes you like no other.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:09:59 PM)
They're all improvement based.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:10:13 PM)
They all push you. It's their only purpose. Dude...

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:10:16 PM)
i'm with you now i got lost again for a sec^^

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:10:28 PM)
Janelle

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:10:46 PM)
Yes, they all push you..but it's the AMOUNT they push you

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:11:03 PM)
The amount they push you is measure by your Avatar rating...

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:11:20 PM)
Actually the avatar rating is for how POWERFUL your avatar is

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:12:12 PM)
Yep, but choosing a different essense doesn't mean your avatar pushs you less. It's pushing you in a different direction. Not less.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:13:07 PM)
And actually, they all pushin more or less the same direction..ot

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:13:28 PM)
Up?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:13:36 PM)
That's like saying something silly like, "Dynamic Avatars are lax and lazy." or "Questing avatars are the worst because they're always being bossy."

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:14:14 PM)
I mean, an avatar might be, but that's not what Essense means. It's just the way it pushs.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:15:45 PM)
Patern looks more my style actually.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:16:03 PM)
Oh! Style! That's the word!

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:18:05 PM)
Billy Ford: Tradition: Etherite, Avatar Essance: Patern.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:18:08 PM)
that's what i got.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:18:22 PM)
Sounds fun!

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:18:32 PM)
Anat will love him

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:19:06 PM)
not when i tell you hees gona be a pot dealing dEVIANTXD

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:19:20 PM)
i keed.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:20:32 PM)
lol

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:08 PM)
Paradigm.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:25 PM)
Oh, paradigm, the thing that is ignored...

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:38 PM)
Basicly put ma

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:39 PM)
n

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:44 PM)
How does your magick work

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:44 PM)
Aww *pets paradigm*

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:25:57 PM)
that's the thing i have problems with.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:26:09 PM)
Think of the spheres you want to use.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:26:14 PM)
I'll again use Connor.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:26:23 PM)
i thought that was decided by tradition?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:26:30 PM)
only 1 sphere is

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:26:37 PM)
Everything else is the Magus's choice

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:26:39 PM)
oh, go ahead i'm sorry.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:27:31 PM)
Paradigms are usually treated like a "theme" on their mage's magic, and they wipe it out whenever anyone asks them how they do their magic. In actuality, a paradigm is the reason you person think they can do magic. It's actually the restriction that says, "I don't do magic, hack the world!" or "I don't do magic, I do kung fu!"

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:27:42 PM)
whip, not wipe*

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:28:22 PM)
I think i get it.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:28:58 PM)
Psy's think there psykik so there paradigm is their belif in their abilities?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:29:05 PM)
Connor uses Life like this.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:29:26 PM)
Psy's use raw will, and have no paradigm. Mages are jealous, says the book.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:29:35 PM)
to fit his elementalist belief, Fire is purging and cures everything.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:30:24 PM)
hmm.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:30:33 PM)
You use fire to cauterize the wound, which allows it to heal and grow new skin

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:31:01 PM)
but it's just a means to an end right?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:31:06 PM)
Yup

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:31:13 PM)
And Paradigm, ties in with your foci

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:32:07 PM)
But seriously, the bar is set -pretty- low for paradigms. I hack the world, so I use computers. I do kung fu, my foci is KUNG FU! I do medicine with prayer, therefore my foci is prayer.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:32:21 PM)
At low levels yes

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:32:35 PM)
Huh, I've been informed that foci is plural. Who knew?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:32:37 PM)
Arete 1, 2 and 3 Paradigms can be pretty non specific.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:32:50 PM)
Yeah, Foci is plural

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:33:27 PM)
Yeah, then you get a big paradigm for all the cool powers you got to make sense. Then you hit arete 5 and you lose your paradigm.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:33:42 PM)
Yeah...after 5 it becomes "MY WILL"

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:34:01 PM)
Luckily, no one ever gets past arete 4 or 5. Apparently, arete is restricted by willpower! Who knew?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:34:15 PM)
It says so on the arete page.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:34:34 PM)
Yeah, which is why i always make sure to buy some WP during creation

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:34:51 PM)
You start with 5... and no one ever gets about 5...

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:34:54 PM)
above*

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:35:01 PM)
You're all being very helpfull thanks.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:35:08 PM)
^_^

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:35:22 PM)
I always go with 6 wp...because at those low levels...fails are more than normal

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:02 PM)
i'll start with 6 wp, and what shuld i bring arete to?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:08 PM)
2

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:10 PM)
2

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:21 PM)
Enough power to be useful not enough to be dangerous

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:28 PM)
Sounds good.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:37 PM)
Most newbs start with 2, because 3 takes an insanely good background, and 1 is useless. Really, really, really, really, really useless.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:36:43 PM)
really really really really.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:37:28 PM)
arete roll coincide with what stat?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:37:35 PM)
Yep.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:37:44 PM)
what stats tho?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:37:48 PM)
Arete is Arete

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:37:53 PM)
It's its own stat

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:02 PM)
oh, its a single deal, i see.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:11 PM)
Just arete. Lame, eh? But it usually counts as double the power. So one success does two damage.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:24 PM)
Hmm.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:26 PM)
one success heal two lethal, for example.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:42 PM)
three success does six agg, etc.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:44 PM)
and it's a background right?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:38:59 PM)
It's the power stat, so it's its own thing.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:39:07 PM)
It's by willpower.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:39:17 PM)
oh, i see it.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:39:39 PM)
Connor, how useless is an Arete of one?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:40:37 PM)
less than tits on a bull

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:40:45 PM)
The only thing you can do at 1 is sensory magick

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:40:46 PM)
Good one!

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:42:54 PM)
So a mage has got an Avatar (which is a background you should take!) which has an essence, which is how the mage is pushed. The mage has got a lot of willpower by default, because they're confident enough to think the rest of the world is wrong. What else is useful?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:43:25 PM)
What's different about mages from vampires or werewolves, goal-wise?

Goal Wise? Ascension

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:43:36 PM)
Ascention?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:43:41 PM)
Ascension.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:43:46 PM)
Ultimate universe knowledge...OH

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:43:51 PM)
Don't pick fights dude

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:43:55 PM)
You can't soak for shit

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:00 PM)
Mages are mortal

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:07 PM)
Helpfull hint.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:08 PM)
You can only soak bashing.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:13 PM)
Leathal with Armor.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:16 PM)
Don't even think about agg

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:20 PM)
unless i have armor?

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:29 PM)
i plan on crafting some shizz.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:44:32 PM)
Magickal Armor

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:05 PM)
Another thing is that Mages are like frickin' radar with magic stuff, so if you have magic on you, like magical armor, you're a beacon.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:20 PM)
Oh yeah...

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:24 PM)
Leave that shit at hom

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:24 PM)
e

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:30 PM)
Or just accept it.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:36 PM)
Right now, most mages are on a "Hide" mentality

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:45:47 PM)
Why is that? an attack?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:46:07 PM)
You do anything to draw attention to us...and we'll fuck your shit up. The City is on lockdown by the Technocracy (the main antagonist in Mage)

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:46:46 PM)
The Technocracy is the Mage game's McGuffin preventing Mages from going public with magic.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:47:43 PM)

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:47:46 PM)
Not so much going public, but letting Magick actually be used

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:13 PM)
Hmm, so a few points in arcane would help?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:20 PM)
No actually

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:22 PM)
that would hinder you

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:30 PM)
Arcane is not a switch as most people believe

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:49 PM)
Arcane makes it hard for you to be remembered.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:55 PM)
That's ALL inclusive

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:48:58 PM)
you just more around unnoticed to sleepers....

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:49:00 PM)
Let's put it another way: The technocracy is how the STs prevent the Players from blowing up the city and having an army of slaves and broadcasting mind beams over the Internet.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:49:11 PM)
Mortals, Mage's...EVERYONE

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:49:11 PM)
move* not to tecnocrat watchers.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:49:32 PM)
oh, well i fail to see how it hurts then, but i'll take you on faith.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:49:45 PM)
oh.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:50:05 PM)
Because you meet connor on the street, say Hi walk away...Connor says 4 hours later...Who the fuck was that

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:50:31 PM)
nah, i'll pass on that one then.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:51:27 PM)
Like I said..It's not a switch

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:51:34 PM)
It's not On or off. it's ON

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:52:02 PM)
to suppress it for a scene you need DOUBLE the amount of suxx on a WP roll (x2 your arcane rating)

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:52:23 PM)
So if you got an arcane rating of 3 with a wp of 5..you better get all suxx and burn a wp.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:52:44 PM)
sounds flawed to me.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:52:51 PM)
It's ment to hide you.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:52:58 PM)
It's an inate Magickal ability to hide

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:53:18 PM)
Reality rejects j00!

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:53:27 PM)
Basicly

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:54:04 PM)
The avatar rating is a must.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:54:11 PM)
Yeah...

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:54:17 PM)
Avatar is 2 fold

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:54:32 PM)
More powerful avatar...More quintessence you can hold

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:54:57 PM)
At the start, a mage can hold as much quintessence as either their Avatar rating, or their skill in the Prime Sphere

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:55:08 PM)
Advantage: Can hold more quint. Disadvantage: More powerful avatar...

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:55:13 PM)
what's a good starting avatar then?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:55:18 PM)
3.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:55:18 PM)
Later on you can craft objects that can hold Quintessence, 3

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:55:59 PM)
You can only lower a difficulty of casting a spell by -3, so 3 is ideal for avatar.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:56:44 PM)
and i have 3 more for backgrounds of do magees have 7?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:56:53 PM)
Mages have 7, yep.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:56:57 PM)
7 backgrounds.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:56:58 PM)
Mages*

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:00 PM)
cool

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:12 PM)
Mentor is handy for learning new spheres.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:24 PM)
Or library.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:29 PM)
Or Sanctum!

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:32 PM)
Or Destiny.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:41 PM)
Nah, stick with Allies and Mentor

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:41 PM)
i can have sanctum this early?

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:49 PM)
If you can justify it

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:57:57 PM)
naw, i wanna find a cool one.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:58:00 PM)
and you better have a DAMN good justification

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 6:58:03 PM)
or build it.

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 6:58:37 PM)
Building it is pretty cool

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 7:00:17 PM)
i want a floating citadel.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 7:00:30 PM)
A closet works too.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 7:00:39 PM)
bigger on the inside?

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:03 PM)
...hopefully.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:26 PM)
well thanks guys, i'm gonna get ready for class.

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:32 PM)
I'll be on later.

Janelle Timberland (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:33 PM)
This was fun!

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:40 PM)
MHM!

Connor Jameson (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:43 PM)
Later

Billybunnie OOC (Feb 11, 2011 7:01:45 PM)
