General

1. We will be using Power Combat in its entirety.
2. Extras do not get two successes on 10s. This is in the book, I’m just noting it because it’s kinda hidden and important. This includes any Extras you guys control.
   What exactly constitutes an “extra”? Anyone I deem fits into the story in that role. No hard and fast rules.
3. For gaining backgrounds, we will use a version of the rules in the Player’s Guide. Pay the level of the background you’re going to in xp and do the rp for it.
4. For downtime XP we’ll use the rules in the Player’s Guide, regarding XP per year of downtime, and the way it must be split up in the 4:3:2:1 ratio.
5. When you jump, if you fall back to the level you jumped from (and no further) you take no damage. This way leaping 50 feet into the air and coming back down doesn’t kill you.
6. All the Lunar extra action charms have the restriction that you cannot purchase more actions than (the initiative you act on / 3), which is dumb. Ignore this restriction in all charms and just apply the other restrictions.

Charm/Gift Changes

1. Hide of the Cunning Hunter
   Now is Duration : Instant, and stays active until you dismiss it, or your anima banner reaches the 8+ range. This prevents the stupid having to recharge it every day thing.
2. Masking the Brilliant Form
   Now has a cost of 1WP + 3 or 6 motes. Duration is Indefinite (3 mote version) or one scene (6 mote version). If you activate with 3 motes, your Tell level ( see original charm) is reduced by 1 level, and you may keep the motes committed indefinitely. For 6 motes, it reduces the Tell level by 2, but may only last one scene.
3. Sinuous Striking Grace
   Now +2 initiative ticks per mote spent, instead of +1. Cap is still your Dexterity in ticks. If you have odd dexterity, you will lose the last tick if you spend all the motes you can as usual on caps.
4. Gift : Horrifying Might
   If you take this as a gift some time other than your first DBT, you still get 2 points to spend. No other gift gets penalized for being after the first DBT, why should this one? Dex costs 2 points as with DBT.
