Channeling with Blood
A magic user can amplify their channeling by drawing blood and sacrificing Wounds. They get +1 SL to the channeling test for every:
- 2 Wounds of their own sacrificed
- 4 Wounds of another
Succeed at a Toughness test at the end of the channeling or suffer a Bleeding condition. The difficulty is:
- Average at 2 Wounds
- Challenging at 4 Wounds
- Difficult at 6 Wounds
- Hard at 8 Wounds
- Very Hard at 10 Wounds
Using blood in this way will cause other colors to seep into the magic, with it tending towards Dhar, and is thus seriously frowned upon by Certified Wizards.
The effect can be further enhanced by invoking Chaos; Roll under your corruption and if successful the blood SL bonus is doubled. Gain 1d10 Corruption regardless of success.
Damage & Magic
As per the rule changes regarding combat where Strength & Toughness are no longer used for calculating damage excepting that a Strength greater than 50 confers a +1, so to WPB is not added to spell damage (where relevant) except to the extent that having a Willpower score greater than 50 confers +1 to spell damage.
Cartomancy
Characters with precognition related talents and fortune telling skills may use a Tarot deck (or some similar prop) to try read the future.
This can be done once per day, the Cartomancer must prepare before hand (by meditating or similar) and the reading must take place in a situation propitious to their background.
Process:
- The player asks a yes/no/maybe question of the cards
- The GM deals the player and themselves 3 cards (from a normal deck)
- The GM then randomly determines what the answer will be if the reading is wrong
- The player reveals their cards
- If the total of the players cards (each card being worth 2-14) beats the GM's cards the GM tells them the truth, otherwise they use the randomly determined answer.
- The player does not get to see the GM's cards either way.
Miracle: King of the Wild
- The animal summoned understands and obeys summoner until Sunset or Sunrise, whichever comes first
- The miracle can only be performed once/day
- The animal will arrive in 1d6 minutes
- Commands must be simple, generally no more than one 'and' or 'if'
- The animal will flee (ending miracle) if wounded while doing anything other than defending summoner
- On miracle success roll on the relevant environment table, adding 10 for every SL
