I haven't read it thoroughly, but it seems well put together.

Be glad you don't have to deal with the player. ;D

So... turns out the gift is still in there. In exactly the same wording. Right.

Oh my dear sweet knife-gargling Gaia...
If this gift doesn't get an edit, I must make sure my Storyteller NEVER EVER EVER learns of it.

x) The corrections thread is closed now. The final release can't be far off!

I really want to bait our group's Bubasti with this just to see what happens, though!

Well... doesn't the Possessed offer a similar thing for a quite low price too? *nudge nudge*

My Shadow Lord Bringer of Light would do such unspeakable, illicit, dirty things to learn that gift.

Yup the Black Spirals should totally let the Gaians know that they have this. Would be the most successful marketing campaign for the Wyrm ever. X)

I may not be familiar with the system itself in the slightest, but that seems to be an extremely mean ability if employed correctly based on the wording alone from my d20 experience. Interesting find.

Yeah, he did well to spot that one! The screencap is from a thread where the authors look for mistakes to be changed for the final version.

Really now? That's a good note honestly. It looks like more and more popular roleplaying systems are doing pretty extensive community review as well as play testing versus the past.

Heilige Scheiße.
Ich hoffe, dass "nicht attackieren" nicht einhergeht mit "kann gar nichts gegen die betreffende Person machen", denn Disziplinen können auch so ganze Werwolfschwärme zerfetzen. Sonst wäre das zu imba.
Aber - wtf, selbst wenn: Gegen kleine, machtlose Vampire, vor allem gegen die Clans ohne große mentale Disziplinen, sehr, sehr, SEHR stark o.o
Und der Bubasti - pfui, böses Katz xD

Also "zerfetzen" würde ich als "initiate violence" zählen. x) Aber ruhig Blut... das wird sicher noch geändert.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, "zerfetzen" weniger im bildlichen Sinne, als vielmehr auseinandernehmen. Diese Ventrue-Nummer, ich schau dir in die Augen und du tust, was ich will.
Wir werden es sehen, aber ich hoffe es stark. Aber danke für den Lacher!

Okay, that is officially broken as hell. The Sabbat would be hiring BSD cubs left right and centre to fuck with the Camarilla. Plus would leaving a bomb in the ancient's lair count as an attack?

Though my Storyteller has just pointed out that a vampire doesn't need to attack to mess you up. They can use Dominate to make the BSD smack themselves in the face with a silver axe. Or use Presence to get a new BSD minion. It's really Hunters who get fucked over.

I'd imagine that it might be errata'd to affect non-supernaturals without a Rage rating. So pretty much humans, animals and Kinfolk. Granted, that neuters it a lot but it is only a Rank 1 Gift. Also, know who else are going to be screwed? The Nuwisha!

No 'cute wide eyed Bubasti' - noooo. Don't swipe wyrm gifts!

But... but it's only level one... and I'll wash myself afterwards, I swear!

You have got to be kidding me...... Just because a vampire has no rage a BSD can pull shenanigans?!

If they don't change that rule for the print edition, yes. But I'm sure they will. ^^

erinnert mich ein wenig an den "Finger des Todes"-Zauber aus D&D:
Nahkampfangriff des Zauberers (einmal Feind antippen) und magischen Angriffswurf würfeln
Angegriffener würfelt Willenskraft. Überbietet er nicht, muss er einen Rettungswurf auf Zähigkeit werfen. Patzt er auch dort - instant-Death.
einer meiner Lieblingszauber >:-]

Aber immerhin, zwei Chancen, um es abzuwenden, und sicher nichts, womit ein Charakter gleich starten kann. x)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
beides wahr.
aber mit zunehmender Erfahrung sinken die Chancen der Gegenüber ziemlich genau nahe 0. Und da es eine "Melee"-Attacke des Magiers ist, bei der er so nahe am Ziel steht, trifft er eigentlich immer.

Ah, W20, it sure went from 'you shall not play!' to..this XD
But man, that gift is pretty damn powerful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, yeah, I doubt they'll leave it like this if they check the thread at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hopefully not XD
Though, the book in general is decent. The fact that PCs can make killing an urge manifestation a goal (instead of the urges just being background noise), and BSds -finally- having a gift that makes them not ping Sense Wyrm, pretty neat.

Yup, I agree. Pentex to me is best when its not 'pentex,ebil megacorp'. That takes the players too far from what pentex is supposed to be, and it kills the point the concept is supposed to make. Pentex is best when you use names from our world, mcdonalds, karjala, and so on. And don't involve First Teams or the like, just have these products either be tainted or not, with no clear megacorp behind it. That makes the players paranoid over buying anything from the store, because there is no clear signs WHAT is a pentex product and what is not.
