No actually, it's the art book.

TBH this isn't really an issue exclusive to CtL2e.

A few of OPP's other games don't really hold up for certain modes of play and are generally written with the assumption of being a longform chronicle and don't usually account for shorter one-shot games. The expectation of players raising Wyrd high enough over time being one of them....

[tasti man LH]

Although staying at low Wyrd...isn't great.

This does mean that you're going to take a hit on Contract rolls (and Clash of Wills if there's crossover or NPCs of the other splats), and less amount of max Glamour, which means...not being as good at doing fae-things.

So unless if the game is deliberately a Tier 1 game where it might as well be a Fae-touched-only game or fae antagonists rarely ever come up and the PC motley mostly only deals with mortal antagonists,you'd be deliberately gimping yourself.

.....whhhyyyyy the fuck does the Syndicate Focus write-ups include nephandic Focus elements from BotF? And ONLY the Syndicate (expanded) splat write-ups?

Consistency issues aside, between this and VM, we're right back to apparently no one following Brucato's intended intent of "BotF is NOT a Player's Guide".

(yes yes, I know BotF arguably doesn't hold to that intent as well in execution, but that's not the point)...

[tasti man LH]

Yeah, to me it's not really necessary to be this simulationist with Mage.

Nvm that WoD's systems in general aren't really suited to be simulationist without rewriting the systems from the ground up.

*reads the 2e version*

...well my initial thought is that Elysia is confusingly written. The fluff description describes "removing the soul which the Sandman can carry with them" but the mechanical description talks about...making sure the target sleeps for X successes in scenes? Even then, I'm not sure of the mechanical benefits of doing so.

Wr20's Sleepsense at least grants you the ability to detect if a wraith is Slumbering inside a Fetter.

And there is a precedent of PDX canceling books after said books had already been announced by OPP.

In particular, W20 Tribebook: Bunyip.

[tasti man LH]

That...is going to depend on a lot of things, and in what context.

Do you mean in terms of ritual Effects? Crafting? Legwork rolls? Scene/Story/Chronicle progression? Something else?

[tasti man LH]

There is no decisive, tangible proof to suggest that this is true at all. Frankly the sentiment with the "What's Up with Onyx Path?" panel is just consistent with what we've been told before then....

[tasti man LH]

Are we talking broadly over the course of a chronicle or during combat?
