Re: Reconciling Manga & Batman There are times I wish I had a camera or video footage of an event for resource material. Real world Matial Arts Stunts Bruce Lee's 3" Punch moving a rail car, knocking an Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Champion accross the mat and into a chair. A Martial Arts documentary on Akido. 6 Kendo students with Bokken attacked the Akido Grand Master. They surround him and attacked. He avoided all of them and knocked them off balance or into one another. A Hwarang Instructor demonstation where he launched into the air striking and breaking 6 targets before touching the ground. The Shaolin Priests demonstrations make my chest hurt just watching them. Muay Thai Kick boxing demo where an instructor destroyed bricks then proceded to battle in a tournament and win. A Indian Sufi who lift over a ton over his head. Noted in Steve Barnes novel "Gorgon Dreams" My Tai Chi Instructor sending participants flying accross the room with a gentle touch.

Re: HERO for the GURPS gamer I have 14yrs experience GM'ing and Playing GURPS and only a few years with HERO System. IMOHO HERO System is the better of the two. With GURPS the GM makes judgement calls on every unwritten rule and interpretations. The Combat System for GURPS is relatively simple, but can become complicated with use of Advanced, Optional, and House Rules. Armour and Skill bogs down GURPS more than HERO. I have played both and GM'ed both. HERO combat is faster. Magic for GURPS is formula. HERO Magic is mechanical, but one worked out you don't have to look it up again. With GURPS you have to learn a new mechanic for every addition. For HERO it's the same for EVERYTHING!!! With the resurrection of HERO, I have abandoned GURPS for HERO. In 2yrs I haven't look back. I still play in my groups long running GURPS Fantasy campaign, but I will not be GM'ing or buying GURPS books anytime soon (save the resource books like Japan, Russian, Vikings, etc...) I guess I'm a born again HEROphile. Make mine a HERO by DoJ. QM P.S.: I love PRESENCE ATTACKS !!!

Re: Developing Shadowrun Hero, could use some input! SHADOW MAGIC All magical characters must pay for a talent that represents their magical ability. The Talents and their cost are listed below. Talent Cost Full Magician (Hermetic or Shamanic) 40 Aspected Magician (Hermetic or Shamanic Conjurers and Sorcerers) 20 Adept (Aspected Magician of the Somatic Way) 10 GENERAL RULES All magician characters have a Magic Attribute. This magic attribute starts at 75, but can be reduced by implantation of cyberware or bioware, or if a character takes a deadly wound. Cyberware and Bioware For each point of Essence lost to cyberware or for each point of Bio Index spent on bioware, the magical character loses 1.5 points of magic, and suffers a -1 to all magical skills (Sorcery, Conjuring, Aura Reading). Magic Loss If a magical character is ever reduced to 0 BODY or lower, he has taken a deadly wound. This can cause Magic Loss. Make a CON roll. If the roll succeeds, the character loses no magic. If the roll fails, reduce the Magic Attribute by 1 per point the roll was missed. MAGICIAN POWERS Magicians have many powers available to them depending on their tradition and how naturally talented they are in the magical realm. Full magicians are those who have the most talent, and are able to have access to all magical powers for their tradition. Full magicians can either be hermetic (magicians who cast spells and conjure elementals based on scientific ritual and magical formulae) or shamanic (magicians who cast spells and conjure elementals based on their ties to a totem creature, a magical spirit that grants powers). Aspected magicians are those who are talented, but not completely in control of their magical abilities. Aspected magicians can either be Sorcerers (in either the hermetic or shamanic tradition) or Conjurers (in either the hermetic or shamanic tradition). Adepts are magicians that follow the Somatic Way, a method of tapping magical powers to supplement their natural abilities, typically in a physical way. The powers available to magicians are listed below. ASTRAL PROJECTION With this power, the magician projects his spirit into the astral plane. The astral plane is basically a mirror image of Earth, overlaid on the real world. Everything on earth has a presence on the astral plane, but only living things and magic have a physical presence. Characters who project into the astral plane have a change in their characteristics as detailed below. Astral STR = Normal PRE Astral DEX = Normal INT Astral CON = Normal EGO SPD = SPD + 2 The following general rules apply to astral projection: • Characters that astrally project lose 10 Essence per hour in the astral plane. Once they return to their body, the essence returns at 10 per minute. If their Essence reaches 0, the character dies. • Characters who cast spells while Astrally Projecting take 1d6 Normal Damage per 10 Force of the spell that is applied against their Mental Defense. • Shamans who summon nature spirits while astrally projecting take 11d6 Normal Damage applied against their Mental Defense. (Great Form Spirits cause more damage) • Astrally Projecting characters are able to fly at a combat rate of 10†and a non-combat rate of 6400†(4 km/Phase), with Noncombat Acceleration/Deceleration (meaning it takes no time to build up speed). • While in the astral plane, a character can assense all astral presences just as if they were using Astral Perception (see below). • A character in astral space cannot read anything written on the physical plane (it shows as incomprehensible symbols), but can understand any emotional content the writing conveys. • A character in astral space can be noticed from the physical plane with a successful Sight Perception roll (-8 for mundane, -6 for magically active) • A character that astrally projects leaves his physical body behind at the point where he or she astrally projected. They are considered to be 0 DCV and unaware. Astrally projecting characters are aware of damage to their physical body. If the body is killed while the magician is astrally projecting, their astral form lives on until they’ve used up their essence. If their body is moved, they are aware that their body is moving, but they do not necessarily know where it is being moved to. They can track down their physical body by making an Ego Roll (modifiers based on how well hidden the body may be). The base time to find the body is 20 minutes, and characters may take extra time to help the skill roll. ASTRAL PROJECTION Power: Extra-Dimensional Travel to Any point in the Astral Plane; Adv: None; AP: 25; Lim: Can be seen but not physically affected from the material (-.5); Extra Time: Full Phase (-.5); Point of Entry is relative to the characters original location (-.5); Cannot take equipment except magical foci (-1); Character leaves body behind (-1) Real Cost: 6 points ASTRAL PERCEPTION This ability allows the magician to shift him or herself partially into the astral plane. This allows the magician to look into the astral to see astral presences, to assence auras, and to see magical auras. While astrally perceiving, the character suffers a -5 to all perception rolls in regards to the physical plane. The following general rules apply to astral perception: • An astrally perceiving character can see any astrally present auras. Astrally present auras are: Dual-natured beings (spirits, dragons, vampires, etc.), astrally perceiving characters, astrally projecting characters, magic foci, magic spells. • An astrally perceiving character may cast spells or take any astral action against astrally present auras. • An astrally perceiving character may assense auras. An Aura Reading skill roll is made. Each level of success for the perception roll or skill gives the reader one of the following details about the aura. Normal Success of Aura Reading • General state of subject’s health (healthy, injured, ill, etc.) • The subjects general emotional state or impression (happy, sad, angry, etc.) • Presence or absence of cyberware or bioware • The class of magical subject (fire elemental, manipulation spell, power focus, etc.) • Whether the subject is mundane or awakened. • If the character has seen the aura before he will recognize it, regardless of disguises or alterations. On a Critical Success (skill or perception under ½) • Exact Essence, Magic Attribute, and Force of the subject • Location of any implants • Accurate diagnosis of any disease or toxin affecting the subject • The exact emotional state and cause for it (a murder, riot, religious ceremony, etc.) • Presence and general cause of any astral signatures upon the subject (combat spell, illusion spell, hearth spirit, etc.) ASTRAL PERCEPTION Power: Detect: Astral Plane and Auras, Discriminatory, Tracking; Adv: None; AP: 25; Lim: Extra Time: ½ Phase to Turn on (-.25); Character may be targeted by Astral Forms (-.5); Side Effect: -5 Perception Rolls for Physical Plane (-1) Real Cost: 9 Points DISPELLING AND BANISHING A magician may attempt to dispel magic already in place, magic about to be cast, or magical foci. The magician may also attempt to banish spirits. For dispelling and banishing, the following general rules apply: • Each attempt at dispelling is a Full Phase action. • The magician must make a Sorcery skill roll at -1 per 20 Force of the dispel (default is -5) • Roll the effect dice and compare it to the force of the spell. If the dispelling total equals or exceeds the spell or summon, then it is dispelled. If the total does not equal or exceed the spell, it is still active. The magician may attempt again next action, and the total is added to the previous one. Determine results as above. • Multiple magicians can combine their results to determine dispelling effect. • A magician may dispel an incoming spell if he or she has a Held Full Phase action. • Dispel costs END no matter the outcome. 1 END per 10 Force. FULL MAGICIAN DISPELLING/BANISHING Power: 20d6 Dispel; Adv: All Magic (+.25); Cumulative (+.5); AP: 105; Lim: Gestures (-.25); Incantations (-.25); Extra Time: Full Phase (-.5); Requires a Sorcery or Conjuring Skill Roll, -1 per 20 Active Points (-.25) Real Cost: 47 Points Cost to increase: +1d6 Dispel for 2.5 points ASPECTED MAGICIAN DISPELLING/BANISHING Power: 20d6 Dispel (Spells); Adv: Cumulative (+.5); AP: 90; Lim: Gestures (-.25); Incantations (-.25); Extra Time: Full Phase (-.5); Requires a Sorcery or Conjuring Skill Roll, -1 per 20 Active Points (-.25) Real Cost: 40 Points Cost to Increase: +1d6 Dispel for 2 points CONJURING The magician has the power to summon powerful spirits to serve him. Mages summon elementals while shamans summon nature spirits. A character typically can only have 1 spirit serve him at a time, though this maximum can be increased for 1 point per extra spirit. The spirit stats are detailed at the end of the magic section. Mages require a Hermetic Circle to summon elementals, which is a circle of runes and wards to protect the magician. Mages also require elemental conjuring materials, which are expended upon use. The following rules apply to mages for conjuring elementals: • The cost of the Hermetic Circle is 35000Â¥ for a temporary circle, or 100000Â¥ for a permanently etched one. • The cost of the elemental conjuring materials is 3000Â¥ for lesser elementals, 6000Â¥ for standard elementals, or 15000Â¥ for great form elementals. • The process of conjuring the elemental takes 6 hours, all the while the mage is incanting, gesturing, and concentrating on making the elemental appear. • At the end of the process the magician makes a Conjuring skill roll (-1 per 20 Force of the summon, default -4 for lesser elementals, -7 for standard elementals, and -11 for great form elementals). • Success indicates the elemental has appeared and will perform a number of services equal to the magicians PRE divided by 5. • On a particularly good success (10 or better under modified skill roll), double the number of services owed. • If the magician fails, no elemental is summoned, but the materials are wasted. • On a particularly bad failure, an elemental may appear and attack the caster (GM discretion). • At the end of the conjuring, the magician pays END equal to 1 per 10 Force (14 Default). • A Mage may be able to summon and control more than one elemental, but each must be summoned individually, following the rules above. Shamans need only to be in the appropriate domain for a particular type of spirit to summon them, though he does require a type of spirit fetish, which is expended upon use. The following rules apply to shamans for conjuring nature spirits: • The process of conjuring the nature spirit takes only an extra phase, but during this time the shaman is incanting, gesturing, and concentrating on making the nature spirit appear. • At the end of the process the shaman makes a Conjuring skill roll (-1 per 20 Force of the summon, default -7). • Success indicates the nature spirit has appeared and will perform a number of services equal to the magicians PRE divided by 5. • If the shaman fails, no nature spirit is summoned, but the materials are wasted. On a particularly bad failure, a nature spirit may appear and attack the caster (GM discretion). • At the end of the conjuring, the shaman pays END equal to 3 per 10 Force (33 Default). CONJURE ELEMENTAL Power: Summon Elementals (301 pt Elemental); Adv: Expanded Class (+.25); Devoted (+1); AP: 135; Lim: Concentrate to 0 DCV Througout (-1); Extra Time: 6 Hours (-3.5); OAF: Spirit Conjuring Materials, Expendable (-1.25); Gestures Throughout (-.5); Incantations Throughout (-.5); Only in Hermetic Circle (-1); Requires a Conjuring Skill Roll (-.5); Limited Number of Services (-1) Real Cost: 13 Points Cost to Increase: 1 point per 2x elemental maximum (max number of elementals equal to caster’s PRE/5) CONJURE NATURE SPIRIT Power: Summon Nature Spirit (307 pt spirit); Adv: Expanded Class (+.25); Devoted (+1); AP: 138; Lim: Concentrate to 0 DCV (-.5); Extra Time: Extra Phase (-.75); Gestures Throughout (-.5); Incantations Throughout (-.5); Limited Spirit Type defined by Area (-1); Extra Endurance x2 (-.5); Limited Services (-1); Requires a Conjuring Skill Roll (-.5); 1 Spirit at a time (-.5) Real Cost: 20 Points SORCERY Sorcery is the ability to cast spells in the classical sense. The magician recalls a formula for a spell that he has learned, channels the magic through his or her body and brings it forth into the physical world. Spells are detailed later in this section. The following general rules apply to sorcery: • A Sorcery skill roll is required to cast spells, and the skill is modified by -1 per 10 Force of the spell to be cast. • Success in the skill indicates the spell is cast. Determine effects. Determine END cost. • Failure in the skill indicates the spell cannot be cast, determine END cost. • Spells cost END to cast, at the rate of 1 per 10 Force of the spell. FULL MAGES AND SHAMANS Full mages and shamans have access to all aspects of magical ability with the exception of Adept powers. They have access to the following abilities: Astral Projection, Astral Perception, Sorcery, Conjuring (elementals or nature spirits), Dispelling (spells), and Banishing (elementals and nature spirits). SORCERER Sorcerers are talented only in the casting of spells, to which they excel. Sorcerers can be either hermetic or shamanic, and gain totem bonuses that apply to sorcery. Sorcerers have access only to the abilities of Astral Perception, Sorcery and Aspected Dispelling (spells only). CONJURER Conjurers come in both hermetic and shamanic traditions, with shamanic conjurers gaining totem bonuses that apply to conjuring. The hermetic conjurer has access to Astral Perception, Conjuring (elementals), and Aspected Banishing (elementals and nature spirits). The shamanic conjurer has access to Astral Perception, Conjuring (nature spirits), and Aspected Banishing (elementals and nature spirits). INITIATION Initiation sharpens the natural Awakened sensitivity to magic and purifies the spirit. It allows a character to find his or her capacity to wield greater magical abilities, called metamagic, and provides access to the metaplanes of astral space. Only Awakened characters (full magicians, aspected magicians, and adepts) are capable of initiating. To initiate, a character must fulfill any prerequisites set forth by the GM as well as pay 8 points for the Initiate Talent. This talent grants the character 10 points to his or her Multipower Pool, which will allow them to cast more powerful spells. For each grade of initation, one of the metamagical abilities listed below must also be purchased. They must be purchases separately at each initation, though the metamagic powers may be increased on their own once purchased. After all the metamagic powers have been purchased, the character can continue to initiate for 8 points, each time increasing the Multipower by 10 Points. METAMAGIC ANCHORING Allows a magician to attach spells to specialized foci and delays their activation until a certain event occurs. Power: Trigger Advantage; Adv: None; AP: 38; Lim: OAF (-1); Only for Spells (-1); Requires a Sorcery Skill Roll (-.5) Real Cost: 11 points for any spell up to 75 Active Points CENTERING This assists a magician in channeling magical energy. Power: Reduced END: ½ END Advantage; Adv: None; AP: 19; Lim: Only for Spells (-1); Requires a Centering Skill Roll (-.5) Real Cost: 8 points for any spell up to 75 Active Points CLEANSING This ability clears away astral pollution known as background count from an area. Power: 10d6 Dispel: Change Environment; Adv: Cumulative, 4x maximum points (+1); AP: 60; Lim: Only against background count (-2); Requires a Sorcery Skill Roll (-.5); Extra Time: 1 Turn (-1.25) Real Cost: 13 points DIVINING This ability allows the magician to Read omens and signs to provide insight into future events. Power: Clairsentience, Precognition; Adv: None; AP: 40; Lim: Requires a Divining Skill Roll (-.5); Vague and Unclear (-.5); Precognition only (-1) Real Cost: 13 points INVOKING This summons powerful spirits known as great form spirits for magicians that can conjure spirits. Invoke Great Form Elemental Power: Summon Elementals (500 pt Elemental); Adv: Expanded Class (+.25); Devoted (+1); AP: 225; Lim: Concentrate to 0 DCV Througout (-1); Extra Time: 6 Hours (-3.5); OAF: Spirit Conjuring Materials, Expendable (-1.25); Gestures Throughout (-.5); Incantations Throughout (-.5); Only in Hermetic Circle (-1); Requires a Conjuring Skill Roll (-.5); Limited Number of Services (-1) Real Cost: 9 Points Invoke Great Form Nature Spirit Power: Summon Nature Spirit (500 pt spirit); Adv: Expanded Class (+.25); Devoted (+1); AP: 225; Lim: Concentrate to 0 DCV (-.5); Extra Time: Extra Phase (-.75); Gestures Throughout (-.5); Incantations Throughout (-.5); Limited Spirit Type defined by Area (-1); Extra Endurance x2 (-.5); Limited Services (-1); Requires a Conjuring Skill Roll (-.5); 1 Spirit at a time (-.5) Real Cost: 13 Points MASKING This ability disguises the aura and penetrates such disguises used by others. This talent allows the character to use his Aura Reading skill similar to the Disguise skill to change his aura. It also gives the character the ability to penetrate such a disguise. Power: Masking Talent; Adv: None; AP: 5 Lim: None Real Cost: 5 points QUICKENING The makes the effects of a constant spell uncontrolled and costing 0 Endurance. Power: Uncontrolled Advantage; Reduced END: 0 END; Adv: None; AP: 75; Lim: Requires a Sorcery Skill Roll (-.5); Only for Spells (-1) Real Cost: 30 points for any constant spell up to 75 Active Point SHIELDING This ability provides defense against spells for the magician and allies. Power: Combat Skill Levels: Defense; Adv: Usable By Others, Simultaneously, x4 Targets (+1); AP: 10 per +1; Lim: Only against magical attacks (-1) Real Cost: 5 per +1 ASTRAL TRAVEL Characters traveling through the Astral Plane cannot pass through organic material or magical barriers. The Earth is considered a living creature in this case and normally cannot be moved through. Worked earth that is removed from the whole of earth is not considered to be part of Mother Earth as a whole. It is possible to move through Mother Earth, albeit at an incredibly slow rate. They may move through an amount of earth equal to their PRE/5 every 20 minutes. If he decides to stop trying to move through the earth, he may return to his starting point at his normal Astral movement rate. ASTRAL VISIBILITY The astral plane is lit by the auras of living beings, and is always perpetually lit by the Earth. The light level in the physical plan has no relation to the amount of visibility on the astral, though viewing the astral plane through semi-opaque things like water, fog, smoke, or fire can limit visibility. ASTRAL BARRIERS Astral barriers are dual-natured walls, with their astral form appearing as a hazy, solid wall that blocks all astral forms and astral perception. Dual-natured beings and items (such as active foci) cannot pass the barrier without defeating it in astral combat. Hermetic circles and Shamanic lodges form astral barriers, though the hermetic circle is only a barrier when it is used for magical purposes. The physical forms of an astral barrier can be anything from painted runes on the floor to an actual wall, and it does not have to conform to the astral form’s shape. Astral Barriers modify all skill tests by its Active Points/5 for any magical skills attempting to cross it. If a mundane character or item with a spell upon it passes through an astral barrier on the physical plane, the character or item passes through, but the spell is stopped. If a character possessing a quickened spell or an item with a quickened spell on it passes through an astral barrier on the physical plane. If the spell has a higher Active Point total, it passes through. If not, it is stopped. An initiate who knows the metamagic Masking may attempt to synchronize auras with the barrier. Make an Aura Reading skill roll modified by –1 per 5 Active Points of the barrier. If they initiate succeeds they may pass through it freely in the same way as the creator. They must make a Aura Reading test each time they wish to move through the barrier. WARDS A ward is an astral barrier that has no other function than to be a barrier in astral space. Any Awakened character capable of astral perception can set up a ward, given time. The maximum area that can be warded is equal to the caster’s Magic attribute x 5 cubic meters. A group of characters can ward an area measuring 5 cubic meters x the sum of their Magic attributes. A ward must be placed on a non-living thing (walls, a vehicle, rocks, etc.) and cannot be moved from its physical component to another location. The warding ritual takes 1 hour per 10 Active Points and requires no special materials. At the end of the ritual, make an INT or Aura Reading skill roll modified by –1 per 10 Active Points. A group of characters make individual rolls and determine how much they succeed by. Each point of success determines the number of weeks the ward lasts before disappearing. A ward can be made permanent by paying character points equal to 1/10th the Active Points of the ward. Endurance for creating the ward is equal to 1 per 10 Active Points, but the maximum force you can give a ward is equal to the creators Magic Attribute. A group can create a ward with a force equal to the sum of their Magic Attributes. A warding ritual can also increase the life span of an existing ward. Make another INT or Aura Reading skill roll modified by the Active Points, and the life span increases by the number of weeks equal to the level of success. If the roll fails, the existing ward is not harmed except on a roll of 18, which destroys the ward. Spirit and Wards Spirits are capable of creating wards and will do so as a service for the character that summoned them. Regular spirits can create a ward with a Force up to 75. Great form spirits can create a ward with a Force up to 150 points. Alarm Ward An alarm ward is difficult to detect in astral space as anything other than a faint shimmer. Character may make a PER Roll modified by –1 per 10 Active Points to detect the Alarm Ward. An alarm ward alerts its creator when an unauthorized astral entity crosses its boundaries. Initiates may synchronize their auras to fool an alarm ward the same as any other barrier. Use the same rules for creating normal wards but reduce the time by half. ASTRAL COMBAT Characters who astrally project are faster as noted in their changed Speed characteristic, and those who change from physical to astral or vice versa during a combat must abide by all rules for changing their Speed. All combat in the astral plane is hand-to-hand based with modifiers for reach. Characters may use Combat Skill Levels for All Combat, Melee Combat, or Magical Attacks when in astral combat. Astral damage is figured based upon the character’s Astral Strength (PRE) in Normal Damage. If a character is using a weapon focus, the damage from the focus is normal, with the normal figuring of Stun modifier. Damage is applied against their Energy Defense. Body damage is ignored. An astral form reduced to 0 Stun is disrupted. A disrupted astral form immediately disappears from astral space, and astrally projecting characters return to their physical bodies (regardless of any barriers separating them), while spirits vanish completely. The character is unconscious and must recover normally. A character disrupted in astral space must immediately check for Magic Loss. A spirit disrupted cannot return to astral space or the physical world for 28 days. ASTRAL COMBAT AGAINST OBJECTS AND BARRIERS When characters engage non-sentient items in Astral Combat, they use their normal astral attacks (usually based on Astral Strength) or their Dispelling power against the object. The object is considered to be a 0-point character with the following modifications: It is considered to have a Strength equal to 10 + ¼ its Active Points (which figures its PD), Stun equal to 15 + ½ its Strength + ¼ its Active Points, and a Dexterity equal to 10 + ½ its Active Points divided by 3 (which figures its CV and Speed). So a Force 10 Spell has a Strength 13 (PD 3), Stun of 23, Dexterity of 11 (CV 3, Speed 2). Conversely, a 60 Active Point object would have a Strength of 25 (PD 5), Stun of 42, and Dexterity of 20 (CV 6, Speed 3). Also remember that astral presences add 2 to their effective speed (so the above examples would have a Speed 4 and Speed 5 respectively). Objects counterattack every phase they act as long as the previous action from the magician was to attack. If the magician decides to break off combat, the object does not attack and continues to function at full strength. An object reduced to 0 Stun is effectively turned off, but will return to full Stun in 1 Turn. A character can keep the object or barrier “suppressed†by spending a full phase action every turn keeping it suppressed. To permanently destroy an object, the object must be brought to 0 Stun, and the character must then make a PRE Roll modified by –1 per 5 Active Points of the object. Success destroys the object or barrier. Destroying a focus in astral combat destroys its enchantment. Destroying a barrier destroys temporary barriers such as wards. Permanent barriers (like lodges, circles, and permanent wards) are rendered permanently ineffective against the character that defeated it, but are still effective against all other intruders. BACKGROUND COUNT The background count of an area refers to the presence of powerful magical and emotional influences that can affect the flow of mana in the astral plane. In practice, the level of background count modifies all magical and astral rolls while in the area by –2. All spells cast in the area also suffer an additional 1 END per level of the background count. Awakened characters that are not astrally active can still sense the presence of a background count that they enter. They can make a sight PER roll modified by –6 for a level 1, -5 for a level 2, -4 for a level 3, and so on. TOTEMS Each shaman has a totem. A totem is a powerful spirit that gives the shaman the magical power and knowledge. The shaman, in turn, follows the ideals represented by the totem. A shaman’s totem is chosen when the character is created. Technically, it is the totem who chooses the shaman. At some point in a neophyte shaman’s life comes the call of a totem, in the form of a dream or vision. Often, a traumatic even brings on the call, like a serious illness, sudden shock, or near-death experience. The environment listing determines where the shaman may set up their shamanic lodge, and also determines their most preferred surroundings. Skill levels below may be used for the Sorcery or Conjuring skill roll or as Combat Skill Levels to attack. Penalties below apply to both the Sorcery and Conjuring skill roll and the OCV BEAR Bear is a totem found in cultures wherever bears are known, from North America to Europe and Asia.

They do not have access to Astral Projection, Sorcery, Conjuring, or Dispelling/Banishing. They might have Astral Perception if they purchased it as a power. Adepts use their magic in the perfection of body and mind, and they tend to focus on training and discipline. ADEPT POWERS Adepts use their magic attribute to “buy†powers that are supernatural or magical abilities that become a natural part of the adept through study and training.

The system is built thus: Power: 75-point Multipower Reserve; Adv: None; AP: 75; Lim: Requires a Sorcery skill roll (-.5) Total Cost: 50 points The magician need not pay the cost for this multipower as it is already accounted for in the Shadow Magic System. Just keep in mind that a magician may never have more than 75 total active points allocated to spells at one time. The magician pays the cost of each spell individually depending on the force at which he or she would like to learn it. If the magician wishes to make the spell always work at maximum power (in that he or she cannot turn it down), then the cost is 1 point per 10 points of the Real Cost of the spell. If the character wishes to be able to cast the spell at a lower force, then the cost is 1 point per 5 points of Real Cost of the spell. Real cost can be reduced by adding limitations to the spell such as Gestures (-.25), Incantations (-.25), Focus (varies), Extra Time (varies). Learning spells this way allows the character to spend fewer points to learn the spell, but it places restrictions on the casting or effects of the spell. All spells below are listed with no casting restrictions. COMBAT SPELLS DEATH TOUCH Death Touch requires the caster to touch the target. The spell does physical damage to a single target.

Re: Will DC cover the X Files Weird Conspiracy Genre? What are some convienent lable for these kind of Sub genres. Conspiracy - listing the sub plot alone would involve an entire series of books. How about a contruction guide to conspiracies with a few good examples. Supernatural - Buffy. Angel. X-Files, PSI Factor, the Dresden/Anita Blake series, the Crow, Highlander, Touched by an Angel , Stairway to Heaven and it's spin offs, etc... (The Order, Stigmata, & The Prophecy with Christopher Walken) Horror - Delta Green/Call of Cuthulu (check out "Surbrock's Stuff"), Deadlands 2004, etc... Urban Myth - ??? -

Re: What is Evil? To paraphrase "By your actions shall I judge you". Evil for me and in my campaigns are socially reprehensible actions (I won't define it, that's a whole other debate).

Re: Norse Rune Stone Magic ? Runes The Futhark A germanic alphabet used since about 3CE. It is referred to as FUTHARK, after the first 6 letters. Each rune was a letter in the alphabet and also stood for a word (its name). The earliest use of runes was for magical purposes (this is debatable -- see R.I. Page's book listed in the sources below). There were many different Futharks. The one used here is the elder Germanic Futhark. Fehu, F The rune of Freya and her brother Frey. It stands for fee and gold. Uruz, U This rune stands for strength and health. It is associated with a horned animal called the auroch. Thurisaz, TH The third rune is associated with giants (thurs). Ansuz, A Ansuz is associated with the Aesir, Odin, and the wind. Raido, R This is the rune of jouneying, or rides. Kenaz, K Kenaz represents the torch. Gebo, G Gebo stands for gift. Wunjo, W Wunjo is the rune of joy and peace. Hagalaz, H This rune stands for hail. Nauthiz, N Nauthiz stands for the strength of need. Isa, I Isa is the rune associated with ice. Jera, Y The rune jera stands for year. Eihwaz, EI This rune is associated with the yew. Perth, P Perth means fruit to some, but scholars feel its meaning is unclear. Algiz, Z Algiz is a rune of protection or defence. Sowilo, S Sowilo is the rune associated with the sun. Tiwaz, T Tiwaz stands for the war god Tyr. This rune was carved on weapons to bring victory. Berkano, B Berkano stands for the birch goddess and is used for fertility and birthing. Ehwaz, E This rune means horse. Mannaz, M Mannaz stands for man. Laguz, L Laguz is the rune associated with water. Ingwaz, NG Ingwaz is the rune of the god Ing. Dagaz, D Dagaz means day. Othila, O Othila is the rune associated with inheritance. Sources A couple of very good reference books about runes are Runes, an Introduction, by R.W.V.Elliot, and Reading the Past: Runes by R.I. Page, University of California Press, 1987. For online reading, Jennifer Smith's Runic Journey has general information on runes along with their use in divination. She also has a large collection of links to sites dealing with runes. You can also search through a database of runic inscriptions.
