Character Creation

  • We use the optional character creation rule which allows Mortals and Mortal+ characters to take 10 merit dots at character creation.

Merits

Deadpan

This merit impacts magical fear and revulsion imposed by sources as various as the Nightmare Discipline, Autumn Contracts, and even the Nosferatu Curse with the same caveats as Awakened magic.

Psychokinesis

When using the attack form of Psychokinesis, the attack functions like a ranged attack. This means that unless the target has some method of dodging firearms or similar attacks, they do not receive their defense against Psychokinetic attacks.

Sleepwalker

The Sleepwalker merit found in the Mage 2.0 book is being changed as follows. It is now a 2 dot merit. It now allows the Sleepwalker to know if they're being impacted by Nimbus Tilts, the way mages do. Furthermore, they can sense supernal magic in a manner mechanically identical to Peripheral Mage Sight, though they cannot discern which Arcana or practices are being used. Additionally, they don't actually see it, they sense it. If a mage can see magic with peripheral mage sight, a sleepwalker can feel it. This feeling manifests however the player taking the merit wishes, within reason. But that feeling is always the same. Hairs standing up, the ineffable taste of summer on the tongue, a sudden wash of nostalgia without seeming cause. Be imaginative.

Sojourner

When using this power, objects still take structure damage and characters receive one bashing per mile of distance traveled rather than for each yard.
