A lot of major splats work well in assymetric warfare. Heck, werewolves already rely on such tactics to fulfil their 'divine' heritage ; the Wolf Must Hunt.
Mages, as always, truly shine with prep time and investigation, making them powerhouses for scouted sites. Improvised magic is useful when stuff goes south and every supernatural member of the unit avoids contributing to Paradox...


Sorry, brain just told me that Zero Company, if modelled mechanically at all, should be a group of Sworn/False ala the Contagion Chronicle. The fact they have an ongoing mandate doesn't...

They did change developers and were in the middle of a few books at the time...It might take until all the projects that changes hands' are released for them to reach solid ground.

Congrats on your busy RL. Sounds like it is going well for you.

I feel similarly about your concerns in regards to giving them access to Sorcery. Even in 2nd ed, only they could try that sort of thing using the Alchemical charmset. I'm more inclined to draw upon Rakasha Wyld Shaping (Chaos Pattern) and Geomancy than sorcery for these guys.

That said, I would like to remind everyone that the Jadeborn, like the Dragon Kings had a set population number due to a limited number of souls. While I do like the 'Ork growth/tumour' idea, I recommend that it generally only produces...

I hope the 'unlimited power loophole' gets patched in editing. I don't think it needs more than a sidebar paragraph saying don't do this but that would go a long way with disrespectful players trying to pull a rules lawyer act.

To be fair, the settings in the book are not detailed enough to be shards. What annoys me is that the 'shard seeds' eat up a lot of the book, to the point there is very little info on how to guide stories in the vein of Vampires in Requiem. In short, I feel the book is not a 'Guide to the Night'.

Broken Mirror on the other hand, is a dedicated shard book, focusing on a single change to the setting (albeit, I expect some variations within in regards to the 'hows and whys') so I imagine it won't suffer from the diffusion of trying to fit a wide variety of content. Which I think contributed...

I have no idea what that means/stands for....

Is it wrong ofme to ponder that a quick way to found a new Entitlenent is to take/gain a Gentry's Title? Not became one of the Fair Folk, but to strip them of one their bulwarks as if you won it in a Fued.

Gentry are just a bunch of Titles bound around a Name and technically a changeling can win one in a bet.

Oops, now you are 'the Cruel Heart of the Glacier', time to use the Wyrd to bind it into something the Gentry can't take back; boom! Now the Duchy of the Icebound Heart is a thing.

I know that this project was sidelined in part in order to wait for the book to drop (and more Chronicle editions released) but there was a DE2 Update released a while back that has some relevence.

[FallenEco]

Did I miss the "Tier 3" advice in this book, or did they drop it when the project changed hands?

Not mad, but genuinely wanting to know if I missed it the page/chapter.

We have two new families to consider. Anyone want to take a crack at this again?

[FallenEco]

Yes, more of the storytelling......
