Basic Rules

Die Rolling

  • Minor Characters (normal mortals and ghosts, small gods, first circle demons, common raksha, animals, etc.) roll their Attribute + Skill, plus a Virtue if they spend a temporary Willpower point to channel it. The quality of their equipment or tools can let them add a single die to roll.
  • Major Characters (Everyone Else) rolls their Attribute + Ability, plus any Specialties (up to their permanent Essence score), plus a Virtue - which does not cost them Willpower to Channel. The quality of their equipment or tools can let them add up to their Essence score in dice.
  • Charms have their own die adder limits, depending on Essence user type, as normal.
  • Very little modifies these rolls! Most penalties now add to difficulty, and most bonuses grant autosuccesses. In no case may a Character roll more than Attribute + Ability + Specialty + Virtue + Essence, adjusted for Charms as appropriate.

Stunting

Stunts count for automatic successes, rather than dice. In addition, there are only two levels of Stunts, the One-Success Stunt (where your move is described and includes your surroundings), and the Two-Success Stunt (The 'wow' factor).

  • One-Success Stunts grant 3 motes of Essence.
  • Two-Success Stunts grant either 5 motes of Essence, or 1 Willpower, as the player desires.

Any Major Character can stunt.
