6 Experience according to page 39. It doesn't seem you can start with any Enhanced Edges at character creation unless there is bonus Experience provided by the Storyguide, but I think that makes sense since without bonus Experience the assumption it the character is gifted but only started to establish their cred and proficiency, and if you want to play someone who is already a big mover and shaker you start with Experience.

If the intention is for the latter to apply to NPCs only, that needs to be made more clear....

Scion doesn’t have a metaplot to my knowledge. Beyond further developing the setting “present with more power tiers, Pantheons, etc - plans that have been discussed involve alternate settings rather than a revealed setting plot-arc.

As far as I’m aware anyway....

Are you confusing galaxies and solar systems? Interstellar jumps between solar systems cross light years of space within the same galaxy. Given the number of star systems in the Milky Way, I honestly can’t imagine a narrative reason to move beyond it in the Aeon setting - I doubt even the Doyen have explored ALL of it....

A few of those are in the Origin and Hero book!...

Most iconic D&D spells would be done via other Purviews rather than a PSP, but Heku I think along with the Netjer Pantheon Motif is going to come the closest to western high ritual magic. I can think of a lot of Marvels you could do with someone’s true name, summonings, banishments, etc.

That said, Metamorphosis has the obvious potential of bringing sorcery common in Western fairy tales to bare (in large part because a lot of those fairy tales are influenced by Greco-Roman myth, Ovid’s Metamorphosis in particular!)


A spell book Relic would be a good way...

My interpretation is they originate as Primordials as the creators of the cosmos, but they became Gods by incarnating themselves into the World.

(The Trimurti did the same thing)...

I love the PSP. I was wondering how you were going to make it distinct from Watcher and Sacerdos’ Enduri shamans! Awesome.

Suggestion for those who want to use Qormusta - I’ve found it come up with my own integration of myths into the setting, that there is reason to think some gods actively conflate themselves with Primordials and have Mantles where they essentially act as avatars of the Primordial they have conflated themselves with. Amun Re is one such Mantle. So is Ioskeha’s Mantle as Sky-Holder. Jesus MAY have pulled off becoming such a deity in his apotheosis, rewriting a new Creation Myth in which the Logos was always with God and is God.

Point being if one wanted to use Qormusta, he could...

How? The technological utopia existing in secret is straight Wakanda or Attilan. The two deities we see are literal Space-Gods......

Elites are Nova mercenaries, so that would be a bit confusing....

I think it was my pitch then too, and someone else ran with it. I’ll need to go back and see what they came up with!...

Lincoln was taken by the Fae. Proto-VALKYRIE took out his fetch and framed Confederate sympathizers! In 1944 the real Lincoln returned across the Hedge and took control of the occult side of the US government!...

“100 years more advanced” I would assume doesn’t translate perfectly to tech available in the Aeon era, right? It means “theoretical tech that baselines would reasonably develop over the next hundred years [i.e. in reality].” Aeon era is full of tech that required Nova invention, or alien origin, to facilitate certain advances that may be less than perfectly realistic for the early 22nd century (barring AI singularity)....

Whether Batman is best represented as a Talent, a Stalwart (used here as general term for Tier 2 Eximorph), or a Nova who just invested in less overt powers, really just depends on the portrayal of Batman you are going with. Because he varies WILDLY depending on the era, who is writing him, the genre of the specific story, whether it’s his own title in Gotham, or a Justice League comic, etc etc.

[glamourweaver]

Tony’s scientific genius is effectively a full blown superpower though. Making him a Talent in the Nova Age means he’s going to get mentally outclassed by super-intelligent Novas regularly which isn’t accurate to the source material being emulated at all.

(Important to remember here that while Talents and Psions/Psiads are rough equals, Novas are Tier 3, and have no pretense of standing on equal footing with Tier 2 characters)....
