Uhh, why don't you just...oh right you haven't registered yet.

Anyway, for Daemonhost and Atlantean's resources, making it either/or could simply be streamlined since players are always going to pick whichever ends up becoming the higher stat in their build. I suggest saying "Willpower or Charisma, whichever of the two is higher."

Maybe add an idiot clause in case both characteristics are tied, for RAI.

Good idea. I mean, I suppose someone could just go pick the lower stat but you'd be crazy to unless for some reason you've got a crazy progression planned out that involves spending more XP later for...some reason.

And yeah, I tried earlier but I can't go back and edit that guest post so it'll just be there like a sore thumb.

You could always ask a mod, but right now (in my timezone) they're likely to be asleep. At least there's that registered post you have.

Oh, and go to sleep, American.

Going afk for lunch.

I would prefer if we went with [Power Stat + Characteristic 1 + Characteristic 2] instead of [2*Power Stat + Characteristic 1 OR Characteristic 2, pick one and be stuck with it]. It's more fair and consistent that way.

Oh, and I have a suggested rework of Perfection.

Replacing this post with my book 2 stuff. Post too long, apparently.

Dragon Skin should say other sources, not "worn armor."

Magical Aptitude - Nob dislikes the Phenomena adjustment; suggested bumping that part up to Gnosis 5 if we can't agree on a fix for Quicken Spell.

Empower Spell - Similar problem to Unholy Might, similar fix recommended. Alternately, change wording to "gain +3k0" instead of adjusting magic rank.

Quicken Spell - Suggested flat nerf to only spells of Level 3 or lower, similar to the 4e feat only working with a1 powers.


Quick notes from discussion on Atlanteans last month, only major problem areas that were discussed. Nothing else appears to need changing; will see about proper entry later.

my proposal (that might have been said before by someone else): Make the phenomina adjustment apply only to the chosen school, or remove it and have the power give two schools.

Magical Aptitude is good where it is. Due to the way Atlanteans work, they will already be causing massive amounts of phenomena. If they have any Motes spent, a 9, whether kept or not, on a spell will give them a Psychic Phenomena, in addition to any the spell itself will be causing and Atlanteans will be using lots of spells by their design. If they want to get those motes back quickly at all, that will be more phenomena. If it absolutely must be nerfed, then let them activate it by spending a mote. Which is really just kicking the can down the road due to how motes work. Personally, I think it is fine how it is since it does nothing but help the party somewhat. If you do nerf it to spending a mote for it, similar to the old Force User, I'd recommend allowing them to do it multiple times with multiple motes if they really want to blow through it and then still give them the ability to get one free reroll later on, at 3 or 5 power stat just due to the amount of psychic phenomena they'll be causing.

Changing empower to +3k0 typeless is not a good idea, because then it wouldn't increase your caster level. The issue with that is Caster level doesn't stack; you can't Push a spell and Empower it. Well, you can but the rolled dice bonus won't stack. The nice ting about Empower is that it uniquely raises character level too for the purpose of the spell, which some spells care about. I'd recommend going with something similar to the Daemonhost change to +1 caster level and character level for the spell per mote spent, which is an increase in max power but since Motes are already more of a chore to get back keeps it more reasonable when you get it and would disallow it to stack with pushing spells. Making it give +powerstat/2 rounded up to caster and character level might work well too, since then it would start at +1k0, become +2k0 at 3 and not get to +3k0 until power stat 5.
This is an issue with the revised Daemonhost too. Typeless bonuses to magic as abilities can be bad since they stack with pushing due to the way spells work.

The Paragon assets are wonky.

Extra Action is superfluous, since you regain your full pool at the beginning of a session instead. It should instead read:
"Your maximum Action Points is increased by 2." or something similar.

High Pressure needs to be clarified on where you gain these additional pressure points.
"Your maximum Pressure is increased by your Level."

I've always thought Mist Form should give you the Flyer trait with a speed equal to your normal speed as well.
