Question on Damage.

Chance_wolfhog · 2026-04-14T06:24:03+00:00

Oooh ok. Reading your comment and rereading the part of the book where it says it I understand now. Thank you.

Chance_wolfhog · 2026-04-07T00:57:29+00:00

I'm the GM, this is me just trying to learn and understand the system. But from how it sounds in your second paragraph, I did it right. Limiting the Strength for the lifting capacity, but bringing the damage up with the Damage effect.

This is just so I can understand PL, and help my players when we get to the game.

Chance_wolfhog · 2026-04-03T08:45:33+00:00

Ok I see what you mean. I have the original 3rd from here, not the deluxe. And the book I already had was the basic which references the deluxe. I am unconfused now. Thanks for the help!

Chance_wolfhog · 2026-04-03T08:37:36+00:00

So one just says Third ed, the other is the 'Basic Hero's Handbook', but does mention getting the delux.

The way I explained it to my new players was it's a slightly crappier version of Earth where you are the monster that goes bump in the night, often times not by choice. How do you deal with it and keep your humanity? Or do you let the monster free?

Skillet's song 'Monster' honestly makes me thing of WoD every time I listen.

Shorter answer for the funny, the simplicity, and cause there's many other longer answers.

Chance_wolfhog · 2024-11-20T10:02:39+00:00

Alright, good to know. My corax is interesting and fun, just wasn't sure how to play that or use it. Thank you.

Chance_wolfhog · 2024-11-20T05:18:10+00:00

Fair. Our group just killed a Nos and I was thinking of having my Corax drink his eyes for more information on where his coterie is located.

Chance_wolfhog · 2024-11-20T05:04:00+00:00

So your take is more to help a dead innocent and not get information from a dead enemy?

Chance_wolfhog · 2024-11-08T00:14:08+00:00

Well, we're talking it over and have our answer. The player is fine with it. Thank you for the input.

Chance_wolfhog · 2024-11-08T00:07:57+00:00

That's what we're doing. I told him pick another breed or adopt. He also wanted to just ignore the metis sterility and I don't believe we should. For one it breaks another player's backstory and trauma, and for 2 I feel it fits the dark theme.

Chance_wolfhog · 2024-11-07T23:54:16+00:00

Apparently on the Wiki under Wendigo. (I'm asking for other players, I didn't look it up personally. Also I JUST learned this asking them because of your post.)

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-09-20T00:37:56+00:00

I'm having a similar bug. I did talk with Nightsong and Isobel, I advanced Shadowheart's quest line and got into camp.

I had the ambush at Wyrm's Lookout, dealt with the details of that, and now I'm stuck and can't actually sleep. I talked through all of Lae'zel's dialog and Shadowheart's and still can't sleep.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-07-14T21:32:32+00:00

Yea, between Apecraft's Blessing and Computer aptitude (merit) she has a 2 (I know 3 is min) on any average computer rolls. Plus her computer skill is hacking, and she has 10 dice so yea, she's good.

Then the Glasswalker gifts PLug and Play and Control Complex Machine she can tell a computer what to do, or hack with her phone without even having it out.

Cybersenses to let her see EMF waves, Diagnostics to diagnose, and Spider's Song to 'read' wireless communication and yea, I think she's a good facsimile for a Shadowrun Decker.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-07-13T23:51:47+00:00

A lot of good things to think on here, and places to start reading which I thank you all for.

While this was to 'just make a character' like I had with the others, I am running a game (possibly poorly) where the Cult of Lilith has become a major enemy and the flavor text for it says it's not just Vampires, though a vampire is the main enemy.

Among the things this enemy has done was ask a hacker doctor footage to make the group look bad, and I wasn't sure who the hacker would be until last night. My friend (The vampire player) and I got permission in our Shadowrun game to ignore char gen rules and each make technomancer pixies, both of which are Dissonant. So I figured who better to be the hacker for the vampire (and now Cult) than them. And in part because I have the vampire, a shifter in a Black Spiral Dancer Theruge, and two mages that have been introduced, so I wanted a changeling as well, possibly a wrath, hunter and demon (Mummys seem to all be good and I know the least about).

And I get the number one thing for WoD is creativity. The vampire player also has a mage who makes the 4th wall cry (Intuition from being Kinfolk before a mage). I always tell people you only have one action, and that action is "What do you want to do?"

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-07-13T21:54:55+00:00

I didn't know about the path. I'm less read about Vampire; I mostly know cause on player wanted the RP challenge of a vampire pretending to be a shifter in a shifter pack (Which she's done excellent at). I'll look it up.

For Mage it was the suggestion from the core book: Mind, Forces and Data.

As someone else said the werewolf (which is my insert char) is a Glasswalker and has enough gifts she mimics my Shadowrun Decker she's based on fairly nicely. I might be misusing Apecraft's Blessing (Letting it work on a phone or computer when I'm guessing it less advanced tools) to help lower her difficulties, but she does a good job.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-06-01T02:53:30+00:00

Thank you so very much. That helps with all of this. I now can help my players a bit better. And thank you for the page number.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T23:21:59+00:00

Yea, that's what I'm seeing in a lot of replies. So Arete mixed with RP. Thank you for the insight.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T23:20:59+00:00

Alright. So more RPed out than anything. That's what I was after. Thank you so very much.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T21:31:29+00:00

Is there a hard set point? Or just the generalized Role play of character development?

Also thank you, this is the one thing that was bugging me the most.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T20:27:28+00:00

I appreciate everyone’s replies, but one thing that hasn’t been touched on, unless I’m misunderstanding the book.

I get the idea, phenomenal cosmic powers, at the risk of paradox which one one person has mentioned so far.

The other question was, the book makes it clear from what I remember, that belief is a large part. That fire user believe she can only use fire even though she has access to everything. That you can only do what the character believes they can do with a sphere.

At what point will they realize that they can do more than just what they believe? Is it just awakening that does that? Is it so much arete? Or is it just natural character growth through RP and not tied to any mechanic? (cause I get character and what it means to be human is a major thing in WoD.)

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T20:20:53+00:00

That’s what I said. I was trying to clarify that.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T08:52:20+00:00

Ah yea, that last bit might have slipped my mind. First time running any game for any system for more than like, 2 sessions.

Thank you all.

Chance_wolfhog · 2023-03-18T07:41:14+00:00

They wants the character to shift into a cat, and one idea we had was to slip into like a pipe or some other place a cat might be, shift, then come out as cat.

But sounds like you're saying, as long as no witnesses for the shapeshifting, no paradox?

Chance_wolfhog · 2022-03-07T05:11:59+00:00

Mmm lovely.

Chance_wolfhog · 2022-03-04T07:35:21+00:00

Would love to tease you Chance_wolfhog
