Seriously, I was reading my second edition Awakenings book and I was skimming over how Voudoun (Vodoo) was treated in second edition compared to Fourth. I have to say that second edition did it much better. At least in second edition, the bonuses that they gave to the Mait Tete made sense concerning the Loa. I mean, if you were mounted by Legba then your Charisma, Social skills, and Knowledge skills got bonuses. Being mounted by Legba also made you as slow as a old man, reducing your movement to 1 meter per round.
The point being, there were advantages and disadvantages to being mounted by your patron loa. In Fourth Edition, they all are advantages. I cannot see one weakness to possession in 4th edition. Am I missing something or does Second Edition just do possession better. |
