I've been out of the loop for a bit, could someone clarify a few points?
The races - Quite a number of them all have very similar abilities, is this gonna change? Lots of them all seem to have charm or snarl - i know i chatted with trez after one of the play tests about maybe having celestials glimpse of power calm down feared characters if they and you were lumen and terrify the character if they are atrum and you are lumen.
Will Fae still be unable to heal or be healed, or will they gain a number of dodges or something per session to counteract this weakness? The Fae glamour seems very limited being that it's concerned with financial value. Could it be used to make anything look more precious, if only temporarily ie make a dagger look mystical/enchanted rather than ordinary, make a pocket watch look older and thus more precious etc. Also with glamour, is there a size limit? could you make a car or house look more valuble etc.
As far as i've been told the game is still in the play test stage. Is there any point in doing up an actual character, are we still having templates given to us each week or are we sticking with the ones we were given straight off?
Hope you can help
Steve

Hi Steve,
sorry for the delay! Life eh!
Ok, to answer your queries.
Races yup, some have similar powers, the general intention is for them to diverge as they gain power. Higher powers are more race specific.
Fae healing, my current feeling is that fae have different physiology to humans. They are after all creatures of magic. However that said, they are close enough that Medicine and First Aid will have some impact.
Hence you can bandage up a fae, to stop them bleeding, and restore a bit of health, but you could not perform open heart surgery.
Fae with the first aid & medicine skill will have been trained to on other fae, so the situaiton will be reversed.
Glamour makes things look better than they are, hence Fae use it to look human. You could do all the things listed in your message with glamour. In effect we are looking at a maximum size limit of around a House, for the basic edge.
At present yes we are still in play test mode, as i said in my other post, think of this a prelude game. you are getting exp which you can spend when the game start for real.
Templates, please still with the original.
Hope that this helps!
We are happy for you to start thinging about character concepts, and more than happy to consider them and enter into discussions.
Any problems, then let me know.
James.
