Yes, the Raptor's Ministry is named for Sycorax.

This will not be changing.

edit: to clarify, it's on the level of... Hypothetical example. If a book from a different line had casually mentioned "Traditions" or "coincidental magic" in the background of a character, it wouldn't be an erratum for a mage book. It'd just be a mistake.

The character's background in Splintered City is a mistake.

And *furthermore*, this is the same as the line in the corebook about how some Legacies base themselves on outdated notions of transgender persons being seen as magical, and how they're looked down on nowadays.

Paradox / White Wolf do have the right, as licensors, to ask for changes in a text. They have done so, sometimes controversially, in the past.

They did not ask for a single word of Signs to be changed. No edits at all.

This is not that unusual - they are, for obvious reasons, much more keen in shaping the oWoD.


As for Assumption - the confluence of

a) my keenness to reinforce that for mages, sex, gender, orientation, race, etc are strictly speaking optional as they’re all just a three dot spell away from being changed at most.

[Dave Brookshaw]

Yeah, it’s staying one per week.

[Dave Brookshaw]

No, wolf blooded who Awaken lose it. The Watchtower's "all supernatural effects or power s are now scrubbed from you as part of reformatting you into a Mage" beats the general rule that a wolfblooded keeps the tell after being embraced, turned into a changeling, etc.

[Dave Brookshaw]

No, we don’t do those until after the errata phase any more, in case something caught in the form fucks with pagination.

[Dave Brookshaw]

As a suggestion, read the introduction at least before the Awakening chapter, as it gets rather metaphysical. And there's a reason there's a page or two of Advanced Supernal Cosmology in the intro....

It is Mayfly, the Moros signature character, and a Shade.

[Dave Brookshaw]

They're aware that the spell is still active, but if the subject isn't affected they can infer that it's been Withstood. They *don't* know the Withstand rating (and you shouldn't tell your players, strictly speaking - just "it doesn't seem to affect him," etc)

Of course, spells like Know Nature and Analyse Life can tell the player how many dots in a particular attribute their character's subject has, but that takes time....

[Dave Brookshaw]

Oh, god-damnit.

Yeah, that must have been an oversight. Treat them as having Forces 1, Mind 1, and Prime 1 for that Blessing's purposes....

Now that it's been laid out, it turns out to be about 145 pages.
