Wyrd's Mage 2E Hacks Hub

[wyrdhamster]

So you all know I love to tinker a bit with game mechanics. Many of you do not agree with those ideas, but I think that even discussion is good and teach us using mechanics as we need them in play.

Here is collection of hacks I use for my games with links to topic made about them. Mark - not all my chronicles use all of them - I always at least talk them with players if they are okay with idea.

This post will be updated each time when I will add another hack.

Hacks:

• Alternative Time travel magic - Or how to fix Shifting Sands.
• Broader Mage Sight - How to make meeting new people interesting.
• Easier Withstood for supernaturals - For those thinking that monsters should be a bit better in resisting mage spells
• High Speech Runes for Indefinite spells - As title says, for those that want truly Lasting ( ) spells entwined in images.
• Left Hand Yantras - How to use general "Black Arts" in Mage game.
• Legacies - Royal Arcanum - Alternative solution to "Double Ruling Arcanum" problem for those do not liking Experience refund option.
• More individualistic souls - Or why souls are made of Five Subtle Arcana
• More interesting Duel Arcane - For those thinking that base rules are a bit boring.
• More Obsessions - Simple solution for running "main story" and side plots problems with Arcane Experience.
• No Inferior Arcanum - For those thinking that Inferior Arcanum is unnecessary idea or limiting characters concepts.
• No Instant Casting – Making mages more bearable for crossover games with other monsters.
• Sleeping Curse as Supernatural Events - When Supernal Magic can be described still as magic ( or UFO ) for Sleepers

Optional - things not working against the system as shown in corebook:

• Athenea requisitions for all Pentacle ( + Favour Condition ) - To add some mechanics guidelines what you can take from Atheneum.
• High Speech Variants - For people wanting to have Speech entwined in normal language ( like in Harry Potter or Dresden Files ). Idea from Tome of Mysteries.

I gotta say, I like the legacies royal arcanum hack. It would be difficult, personally, to pass up a legacy like the perfected adepts since I like their theme and powers, but doubling down on Space would be fantastic (I'm presuming that I would be playing a Mastigos in this scenario).

Hack was created two years ago for the Scian Cruach PC described in the example. Now we have both PC ( Mysterium ) and NPC ( Seers ) Mastigos in Reality Stalkers, so it will be fun to play for them. ( Especially as I gotta play Seer as ST. )

You like the reality stalkers too? They're my favourite legacy, I've already started updating them to 2e, got the space attainments done and am thinking on what the mind ones will be.
