Re: 6e Characteristics This brings up an intriguing question: most mages in fiction have the ability to detect the presence of magic or other mages, usually passively (as in "sniff, sniff -- I smell magic" when you may not be especially looking for magic). Again, this is probably not automatic but is extremely common. There is also the fact that pre-mages (untrained people with magic affinity) can also detect magic in some settings, but don't necessarily know what it is. How would you do a Magical Awareness power in 6e?

Re: Seemingly Silly Things to Model Someone rep Lucius for me. It's a bird! It's a Plane! It's a Bird and a Plane!: YOu have a flying vehicle that happens to be alive. The passengers and cargo are in a box on its back. The creature will go where you want it to go within reason and if it can be convinced to do so. It will not fly into obviously dangerous situations and tends to go off on its own towards safety if caught in combat. And you have to feed it instead of giving it fuel.
