Right, but the problem is that who's closer to accurate will vary wildly based on ST preferences and which splat is being run.
You're asking for "in world" but that truth is entirely based on the desires of the one running it out of world.

If you want more discussion then you need to rephrase the question to be less requesting definitive truth out of something that explicitly lacks that until decided on by the ST. Think like, "In your games who tends to be the easiest to list as having the right idea, or most of the facts but a few incorrect assumptions, and who...

Probably whoever's gameline is being used as the base.
There's a group I see that tends to explain things in other splats in reference to how Mage views it, but that always strikes me as more how Mage is the only one with tons of analysis going into the world and categorizing things as one would for a science.

7) Discourage your child from attempting to shift local geographic features to get out of chores, particularly cleaning stables.

8) Folklore and myth may now fall under "imitable material" and should be handled accordingly.

Yeah, its down to just making the person fall asleep and gaining control of their dreams and being able to control their actions while sleeping. What was the plume again?


Also, in a more socially oriented campaign corrupted words has a very useful control effect seeing how it makes it a pain in the neck for anyone to notice that you used the spell until they hit the effect and even then the text says it tends to make it hard for the victims to know who the source of their affliction is. (I assume this only from the physical seeing the sign part, not many suspects needed if...

Keel Cleaves the Clouds is pretty useful since it enables a sorcerer to walk on mist or fog while constantly surrounding them in fog they can disperse with ease. Extra mobility not a useless thing....

Minor location mentioned in The Realm.(Pg 83) Really not much said about it, aside from it being a city state, and their queen dealing with a peasant uprising due to oppresive taxes, a famine, and a person claiming to be the illegitimate daughter of the previous queen functioning as a rallying point for the peasant army....

North working towards Mantle. Dragonbloods tasked with handling the whole peasant revolt and possibly takeover by a new figure.

Like per turn, no can't think of any. I mean you can't spend 4 satiety on one use of Limb from Limb just so your math has you working off 1 satiety, but if you're using Titanic Strength and Limb from Limb I don't see why you couldn't spend 2 to activate both effects....

Well service binding (serve as guard for a year and a day or some such time) are probably the harder dealings to figure out. Maybe you can get out of it with a complete lockdown or something that might trigger an invalidation situation. Other than that you'd be looking for some means of creating a banishment ritual or spell....

[nalak42]

Well banishment spells don't exist yet, unless I missed something, so you'd need to house rule any of those back in. The other method that springs to mind is pact completion, contract termination, or contract invalidation.
Completion is easy depending on the circumstances, demon is hired to make a thing, you help them make it faster and they leave sooner.
Termination is iffy. I'd imagine some contracts for like year and a day service or work during a task will have a condition placed in them to allow the contract to be considered resolved early owing to major issue. IE a merchant...

With Makarios' appearance I always viewed him as a shapeshifter when he's doing the dream thing, granted not in a way that allows him to be an imposter just that when its a dream he goes that extra step in appearing as someone his potential clients would deal with. IE if the glowing green eyes would freak people out then he'd have more normal human eyes for the dream sale. The appearance they gave I interpreted as a default form that he tends to take when a summoner has him materialized in Creation as opposed to just working the dream angle.

That said I like most of the write-up I...

General: Enhanced resilience, accelerated learning, extreme disease resistance, expanded life span, low grade healing factor.

Exigent: TBD case by case

Liminal: Conditional immortality, part assimilation, reanimation,...

So how are you guys enjoying the new roles, since you've been in them a while now?
Also good work and thanks for keeping up with these ask threads.

[nalak42]

I feel like this is a good one for a Beast and their Horror talking, also a bit of fun if you go with the angle of a Beast having just come back to full after their Horror has been in the old Satiety 10 food coma.

I always played it as a sort of negative zero version of reality. Ie Most cases things are roughly the same barring that people are just more on the douchebag side. So real world you bump into someone on the street you two either keep walking or someone reflexivly goes, "Excuse me" or "Sorry". WoD the same event happens and you either get the brush off or they go, "Watch it" or "douche."
A lot of the supernatural stuff tends to fall into categories of like the real world on paper, not the real world in events. So you end with roughly the same amount...
