As the last deeb thrashes on the ground and finally dies the chaos seems to calm in an instant.

I didn't suggest eliminating brainburn, just reducing it. That way the most powerful/skilled psychics in the game don't paralyze themselves roughly 10 percent of the time they use their powers. Having MM's only suffer brainburn on a crit fail also gives them something that no other IF in the game c...

I wouldn't sweat the cost too much. How many battles go over three (or maybe six) rounds?

I really liked character creation in the MW version, closest I've ever come to Freeform. I really didn't care for the Doom Pool mechanic, or the weird abstracted damage system.

Is there any benefit to a Shifter risking corruption by summoning evil entities? Typically it would be because they're more powerful, but summons are all based on Rank so that doesn't really work. If there is no mechanic, should we add one? I'd say when summoning something that requires acoreuption ...

I'm still interested, but my Wraith IF is kind of in limbo with limited comments after my last update.

Personally, if you want to take the time to make 5 characters in supporting cast, and use the one that feels the most "right" then go nuts. If that's because he happened to have the most favorable rolls then that's the case. You still added the other characters to the supporting cast for o...

While a good thought in principle, that seems like a HUGE can of worms to open.

I think one of the hardest to quantify benefits of the MARS is that they are Seasoned from day one when play starts.

I'd argue SPF is just as fallible and capable of defending an untrue opinion as anyone, especially if your contention that they didn't see the melee Burster coming is true.

Lucius Draper

All I can speak to is the conceptual side of things, but my question HC and VV is do you feel that in your experience what the MM did to contribute couldn't have been matched by a MARS Psychic? Basically, did Detect Arcana or their Mental Resistance come into play? Because that's about all that sets...

Lucius Draper

One game that has helped me immensely with developing internal monologues in PbP is Eclipse Phase (I've raved about the game in chat already so I won't do so hear). The part that helps is every character has a Muse (most have had the same one since childhood) loaded into their personal network and b...

Lucius Draper

My issue with the MM is that as the premier and feared Master Psychic he just doesn't deliver. Detect Arcana is certainly nice. Mental Resistance is a reskinned Arcane Resistance that realistically could just be its own Edge (and even if not Mentalist is a good substitute). The power list is the gen...

Lucius Draper

I'd be fine with it being ruled either way, but the penalty to Cha occurs when they find out what the MM is. If they don't know you're influencing them, I'd think the penalty wouldn't apply. It's not that they're less charming, it's that their abilities are so pants shittingly off putting that peopl...

Lucius Draper

Wild Card NPCs should definitely be immune, being a Wild Card is really the reason players aren't affected. I don't think a break out roll is required. It's only their attitude, so to keep a small town "in thrall" you're still going to have to do something to maintain that. Another thing, ...

Lucius Draper

I think this brings the MM much closer to the levels of the other IF. I'd have to run the numbers on the base MM but off hand none of this seems like it would make them OP.

Agreed. A good read. I often shy away from internal narrative because it's something that doesn't give other players something to respond to.
