General House Rules
Abilities
Crafts</b>
When purchased, the Crafts Ability provides one Craft automatically, such as Crafts (Fire) or Crafts (Air). Each extra Craft may be purchased at the cost and training times of a specialty, at which point the player applies her full Crafts diepool to that Craft.
<b>Linguistics</b>
Linguistics is a score from 0 to 5 which measures a character's skill with the written word. It may be used to "craft" speeches that act as exceptional equipment to a social roll, or may be rolled directly for written social attacks. All Linguistics Charms use a character's Linguistics rating instead of whatever other social roll is listed.
Characters may purchase languages for 3 XP each, as though they were specialties; characters who favour Linguistics purchase new languages at 2 XP each. A character may use her full Linguistics rating with any language she knows.
Generic Rules
<b>Unskilled Penalties</b>
Exalts take a -1 die penalty to Abilities that they have a rating of 0 in. Mortals take a -2 die penalty.
<b>Speed</b>
Speed cannot be reduced below 3 by anything except Instant-Duration Charms or Charms that specify the ability to reduce Speed below 3. Every point below 3 that Speed would be reduced by another effect instead increases Rate by 1.
<b>Sorcery</b>
Cast Sorcery is a Speed 4 action. It does not create a second Join Battle roll.
