The sauna towel was the one that made me yell, "REALLY?!?!?!" at the screen. I could suspend disbelief with trenchcoats, but only a towel around your waist, I can't handle....

[Florin]

My argument for Immortals being Talents/paramorphs: If pulling a katana out from underneath your sauna towel isn't dramatic editing, I don't know what is.

But I mean are you buying second or third dots in paths they already have? It's more cost effective than buying skills and edges ala carte if they fall under a path. Also, you can improve or add contacts that way.

[Florin]

When you're spending XP, are you buying path dots or skill and edge dots ala carte?

They made the change in the Kickstarter, which means after the manuscript was put together. They'll have to re-write things to put in the Advanced/Blighted Actions. So, we may get that later in the Kickstarter, or it may come after....

I went through the same confusion. Simply adding "when harvested/destroyed/whatever they provide" in there should fix it, though....

"The nova must have a Quantum rating equal to or greater than the desired Mega-Attribute rating as well as a number of dots in the normal Attribute equal to or greater than the desired Mega-Attribute rating (or 5 dots in the normal Attribute, for Mega-Attribute ratings of 5 or greater)." Bolded for emphasis....

They're semi-abstract ways of measuring distance. You have Close, Short, Medium, Long, and Extreme. If I'm in your face, I'm Close. I can move one range band away to be at Short range with you. If you are at Medium range from a gunman, and you both move one range band closer to each other, then you're at Close range.

Positioning still matters. You can be Close with one NPC, Short with another, and Long with a third, but the first two might be in front of you and the third behind you. So, if you move one range band away from Close and Short NPCs, then you very well might be moving...

I assumed it gave the mortal a way to recover their Pillar point if they spend it.

Speaking of that, being able to use cultists as Pillar point batteries is great. It makes them a slightly less scarce resource at the "cost" of getting you more involved with your cult.

And instead of XP, Quickening can be a Flux event which refreshes your Inspiration pool. Trinity doesn't have things like Arcane beats, but you could add Inspiration XP which could only be used on Facets and Gifts. Then taking a head might get you 1 Inspiration XP....

The next update is out, and I'm really digging the Vestiges.

The series happens during The Gathering. They changed the narration at the opening in the 7th episode to clarify that....

[Florin]

Technically, it says they don't appear to age, but they also only have a few decades of evidence to support that. However, if you throw in a certain proxy, then maybe that's why she's lived so long?...

What reaction from fans has surprised you the most? What reaction has encouraged you the most?

[Florin]

I'm glad we don't have all 42 judges in the core book. Trying to choose just the right judge out of 42 would probably take me about 42 years. However, choosing the best of 7 is pretty easy for me.

[Florin]

If you have Growth 5 and decide to use 2 dots of it, you would add 2 to your Size and 2 to your Mega-Might. If you used all 5 dots, you'd add 5 to your Size and 5 to your Mega-Might.

I don't think you'll see novas with universe creation powers, unless they are the Quantum 10 ones who have transcended, and they (at least in the current draft we have access to) move on to some other kind of existence....

[Florin]

In 2e I don't think anyone has time travel ability other than Mercer right now. I could easily see them limiting time travel to Talents only....

[Florin]

Can the mummies look like that during their time in Duat? Sure, if they took over an Incan or Chinese body, descended into Duat, and left that mummified body behind. At least that's my understanding from the teases we've gotten. We'll know for sure soon....

[Florin]

Yeah, I didn't want to just assume it would happen.
