charecter creation aleration

[GM]

there are several small changes to werewolf vampire and the hunter systems i make here is a list if you need clerification post it here instead of pming me so i dont get the same questions pmed over and over and over...


1.yourself- for the first game (not each individually but just the first world of darkness we play) are charecters will be ourselves, changed to suit the altercation of the game ((so we will be werecreatures if we play werewolf, vampires if we play that and so on)) and we will have the same skills as we did in real life, with a few exceptions, such as needing to round off a skill to the nearest point if someone is not sure, or an extra skill or two you picked up since becoming what you are now, hence how i know, i forgot the name but its the special shifting martial arts only available to werecreatures, but those useually start low and you only get one or two (((depending on how you roleplay the learning of it)))


2. renegade hunting- god i hate this rule, if you are not hunter net your not a hunter PERIOD you can still hunt but you will not recive assistance from other renegades or from any hunter and you cannot be one altogether unless its a single campaign (because renegades do not work toghether) this is same for werewolf but its clan not hunter net.


3. call on allies- this one is almost as annoying as the renegade rule, you do not automatically recive help from hunter net hunters (they have problems to ya know) this is same with werewolf but its clan insted of hunter net.


4. edges- you cannot learn edges from other people (hold on before you bite my head off) every edge you learn is your own design which represents your own path and creativity as sentient beings so every time you would learn an edge discuss with me an edge of your own design and we will negotiat it ((im very loose with this you can make almost anything as long as its fair in all aspects, you can make a nuke edge but the bad side would be horrendis)) you catch the gist of it


thats all for now i might expand or get rid of some depending on how it works out

I assume that people can get guidance in their Gifts or Edges by more experienced people of the same sort of discipline and skills, who know how to get past particular difficulties or barriers that the Hunter is facing. In the case of lycanthropes, they get their powers through communion with and understanding of the spirits and performing missions and boons for them.

everyone makes there own edges but people can help them create them if they have an edge that works similar than the one the charecter is trying to create (because they take time and energy sometimes a lot sometimes not depending on the kind of edge and if they know a similar one or are being helped by someone who has a similar) and im sorry for not clarifying this before but you can make edges similar to someone else but itll be different in small ways (like in d&d having two plus one swords but one has a different handle than the other)or in huge ways (making one of those swords vorperal) so there is huge room for edge and gift customisation, gifts however are diferent because it might be the same power that was given but it is a different person reciving it and it could have been bestowed upon by an entierly different spirit than someone elses, making your own gifts is hard and unlikly it involves traveling to the spiritul world either by a really long out of body or meditation or by physically traveling there (which useually involves death) and training with an elder for long amounts of time useually after lots of communion with that particular elder and performing a lot of missions and boons.

hope that answered your question somewhat, dont worry about it right now in werewolf we start with gifts that are just a little different (but nothing that affects actual game stats just rping)

Well, Werewolves can head into most sections of the Umbra on their own nearly at will, stepping sideways easily. Other races and people find it somewhat harder, relying on rituals, spirit caves, etc. And I definitely like that you will make customization and distinction built into the game, it helps distinguish between people. I'm sure there will be really strange spirits, just like the Black Spiral Dancer/Wyrm spirits and totems.

in my game umbra is a bit harder to get to than in others but still certainly possible but thats mostly because its benifits on creatures (especially werecreatures is increased)

[Frederic Bourgault-Christie]

So no Umbra teleport runs? Aww....

[GM]

nope afraid not, but if you do get there the bonuses are awsome
