you would have to be able to light the kerosene though, and the burning would only happen as the pressure got low

You might as well light the kerosene and go mundane all the way...

Oh, and here's the Werewolf chargen summary.

but that would probably hurt. Using it as a focus you could prevent any annoying backlash involved with using a makeshift and very dangerous weapon.

So....complicated....need.....help....can't....AAA AHHHHHH *head explodes*

Wow that is complicated(and needs much explanation).

Would you believe I actually made one of those?

Oh, and I need to ask all the Mage experts here about making coincidental effects. For example, let's say I decide to use Correspondence 3 to get me over to somewhere I have to go. The vulgar way would be to simply teleport there. The coincidental way is apparently to have a cab miraculously appear when you need it and get you there.

So is the effect Correspondence 3 or Entropy (you're making the cab appear in front of you, by sheer dumb luck). Or have I got it all wrong-assed again?

Mage#27 · 04-15-2004, 06:31 PM

It's reasonably self explanatory if you get a charecter sheet and start doing what it says.

the only hard parts are the fact that alot of your numbers (gnosis, rage, and willpower) must come from the book. A part of the book that Dante hasn't posted yet.

also a note: Kinfolk are not werewolves. The explanation makes it sound like they are but they aren't. Kinfolk are humans or wolves who have some Garou (werewolf) blood.

another note: Delirium is what happens when a mortal sees your crinos form. They basically get real scared and run away. This is a magical effect that has nothing to do with what the form looks like.

EDIT: I have had many long disscusions about that. I personally say that a coincedental effect can be anything as long as it accomplishes what it is supposed to do. IE your cab example could be corespondance.

there is a quote from the rulebook that goes somthing like "when a mage casts a coincedental effect he doesn't so much make somthing happen as weave the effect into the pattern and wait to see what comes of it"

IE when casting conincedental you won't always know what is gonna happen only that somthing will.

in short yeah it's confusing. The only answer is that the GM will let us do what the GM wants to let us do. It will probably depend on how convincing we can make it...

also note that not all tradidtions have access to that sort of coincedental effect. A hermetic could use corespondance to summon a cab and a cult of ecstasy certainly could but somthing like that just wouldn't be in the right paradigm for a virtual adept or a son of ether. Their magic is tied to the use of technology and even though they technically coulld perform that effect they don't believe that they could.

EDIT: Dante you made a supersoaker full of kerosene? Wow.

It does need a little more explanation... but I can almost make a character out of that.

Things that need to be expounded upon: What is concept? Just what it sounds like?

I assume you pick 7/5/3 points for each area (physical, social, mental) and then assign those points to the more specific areas within that? It's unclear in the file.

Needs a more comprehensive list of abilities and what have you.

Dante · 04-15-2004, 06:36 PM

Delirium also depends on WIllpower - high WP mortals will remember the Garou, and in some cases may actually strike back.

I'll try to put up rhe Rage and Gnosis explanation soon, and while I'm at it, the Willpower thing as well.

Krylo · 04-15-2004, 06:39 PM

Be sure to put up a comprehensive list of backgrounds and skills and what have you as well... and the numbers you need.

Mage#27 · 04-15-2004, 06:39 PM

Concept is what your charecter is. It's a 1 or 2 word description of your charecter. Sort of like class only it has no in game effect.

the backgrounds are listed in the chargen. All abilites are on the charecter sheet. If you want an ability that's not on the sheet just write down under "other traits" (I think there is one on the werewolf sheet) and take ranks in it like that.
