House Rules/Wraith

House Rules Wraith "Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them." -E. W. Howe

Arcanoi NOTE: These have not yet been reviewed for Wraith20 update Argos Mostly restricted to the Underworld. Argos 1 (Enshroud): Embodied wraiths can use it on themselves, but not on others. Argos 2 (Phantom Wings): May be an exception. Mnemosynis Memories (Ends of Empire 135) is available. Without it, hanging on to an acquired memory too long may have negative consequences at staff discretion. Outrage Outrage 4 (Death's Touch): Interpret 'heat and extent of the fire' based on WtO page 234 (Sources of Injury -> Fire). Living creatures and vampires cannot be directly ignited, but their clothes etc. can be. Outrage 5 (Obliviate) targets the soul as well as the body. Non-wraith supernaturals are treated the same as mortals. Pandemonium Pandemonium 1 (Weirdness) lasts for one turn per success and is limited to small hallucinations. Phantasm is broader in scope. Pandemonium 4 (Foul Humour) can create one point of blood per two successes. Vampires can drink it, but it's "revolting to a vampire - clotted, foul and generally nasty, much like what a Risen would have in her veins". Usury Usury 2 (Charitable Trust) cannot heal aggravated damage. Moliate 2 (Sculpt) can, but is more expensive. Usury 3 (Early Withdrawal) is unsoakable, but again cannot heal aggravated damage. Alternate arcanoi The Great War - available to all wraiths, including tempered arcanoi (page 137). The Hierarchy - requires Faction = Hierarchy. Renegades - requires Faction = Renegade. Guildbook (including Mnemoi from Ends of Empire) - see Arcanoi for details. If the required thing is currently blank or "None", +request to have it changed. Arts from other books are currently unavailable. On +request, staff will research which splat would be allowed to learn them, whether any PCs could belong to it, and where it fits into the factions. The Fog Willpower Reaction 1 Catatonic fear 2 Panic 3 Disbelief 4 Berserk 5 Terror 6 Conciliatory 7 Controlled fear 8 Curiosity 9 Righteous anger 10 No reaction More info: Wraith20 page 285 There seems to be some misunderstanding of who/what is exactly immune to various forms of supernatural innate powers. The following is a list of what's what for the races that have such: The Fog - Some are not affected by the Fog: Children, animals, some gifted adults, and certain of the other supernatural denizens of the World of Darkness. (Wraith20 page 284) Because the book doesn't state exactly which other supernatural denizens of the World of Darkness are immune to the Fog, staff has ruled that the following are immune: All Wraiths/Risen (Obviously) All Shifters All Mages All Vampires All Changelings All Demons All Ghouls Sorcerers with at least level 3 in any numina. Psychics with at least level 3 in any numina. All Possessed All Kinfolk All Kinain Those with the merit: Spirit Sight Miscellaneous Deathsight (Wraith20 126) can detect that someone isn't aging (e.g. Unaging merit, demon with non-empty Faith pool), but doesn't tell the wraith why. Lifesight (Wraith20 126) uses same result chart as Auspex 2 (Aura Perception, VtM 150), but base diff 5 instead of 8. PCs can choose to spend Shadow XP on their Shadow (Wraith20 302-303). This will be tracked in +notes.
