Trinkets

[Lord Revan]

Yeah, BoS says trinkets do not generate paradox, but I have my doubts about that.
First, the trinket power doesn't *have* to be related to the object itself, like the ring that makes punches do agg.
Second, you can have a trinket that is clearly vulgar, like the hodie in M20.



Hm..Yeah, botching is bad even when you are not messing with your pattern.

Are those the only pros of using trinkets? I mean, the no paradox is a great one, but I'm not sure *all* effects could benefit from that...

What about dispells and countermagick, etc...

[Lord Revan]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

I was asking what you would think are the pros and cons of getting buffs from a trinket instead of getting them from buffing directly your own pattern. Like, a ring to make your punches deal agg dmg versus directly casting the Life 3 effect in yourself....

[Lord Revan]

I like the idea off buffs in senses and social interaction. Very useful and discrete.

Any thoughts about the pros and cons in comparison to directly buffing the pattern?...

Hi. I was thinking about making a trinket ring, but had some questions.

First, what is the advantage of having a trinket buff you over you buffing your own pattern? So far, the only things i could think were:

- you can lend the trinket to someone elae and they'll get the buff. However, you can also lose the trinket, so it's kinda even.

- you wont be a bright beacon of magick for the lnes that can see it. However, your trinket will, so as long as you're carrying it, you will still be a beacon.

- you wont be affected by pattern bleeding. This is...
