So, I don't see phobias listed anywhere under negative qualities. So, would it be fair to use the same costs as allergies, and more or less the same penalties?

For example, a mild phobia of sunlight (common, mild). Character suffers a -2 dice pool when in sunlight, and tries to avoid sunlight as much as possible.


Now, assuming this works, and that phobias should cost about the same as allergies, would you rate, for a full magician, astral projection as common, or uncommon?

My opinion is that for a full mage, astral projection is one of the more important aspects of his powers, and thus it would be common. I can't really see it being uncommon for a full mage, when the things listed as uncommon include silver, gold, and seawater in a landlocked city (Denver).

Make sense?
