OK, remember, also, to keep the signatures off.
IC thread is up! Have at! Edit: Oh, and for anybody who has yet to roll Essence, do so now and update your sheets. IIRC, most of the people have done so already, and those that have been waiting for me, I apologize. It wouldn't be fair to let some do it themselves and some not. My dice seem to be cursed right now. They hate me. :( I'm working on spending karma to stop that, though. Lots of rolling, and talking nice to my dice. :D (No, this should not affect the game. They hate me, not you.) |

Does Mist Form take equipment with it? I read up on the power and it doesn't say either way.

What about something like a Weapon Focus? That is bound to me with karma, is that different then?

It's still material. It's still bonded to you, so it can't be bonded to another, but you won't have it with you.
I am going to say, however, that anything bonded to you is linked, so you can pretty much tell where it is if you lose it. No, that does not mean I'll let you bond your car keys so you'll never lose them again. :D |

Technically, anything you use as a fetish or talisman is bonded to you as well... :D

Heh.
Well, I'm soon going to be putting this all up on a webpage for easy reference. Give me a few days to collect everything, format it in an easy-to-read layout (in other words, black text on white ;p), and properly format the non-html versions. |

Frank is in the game.
If the equipment doesn't transfer when a vamp goes into mist form, does that include clothing (and armor) ? That would mean that everything would be left behind and that vampires would often be found walking around completely naked.... :scatter: |

So use Mist Form as a last ditch effort, 'natch.
Or do it and have Solaris pick it up for you (Dzoo do not have Mist Form, if you didn't know). :D |

Or, if you ask really nicely, just have Dominic snag it with his Levitation spell when he escapes that way. He can't go to Mist Form, either. :D

Hum, I suppose I could cast it myself, but can a vamp cast spells when in mist form?

You're still sentient while in Mist Form, so I'd say that you can do Mana-based activities like casting spells.
Don't abuse it or I'll take it away, though. |

Anybody get any word from Cheese? He never really replied to the earlier thread, and he has yet to do anything in this one.

Poof. I'm alive, just a bit taxed for time at the moment.

OK, everybody is checked in, good. I'm working on the site now, HTML-izing the four sheets that weren't already in a webpage format (You guys didn't have to. I just decided a little while ago to make a website for it).

"his shoadowy hands" refers to a Magic Fingers spell. He used it to to carry his things. Hopefully I used it right, they're technically not supposed to operate out of line of sight I know. BTW, Thinker's starting essence is 8, on a 2D6 roll. Given that his natural strength is 4, enhanced physical attributes gives him a strength of 12, which should be enough to haul the load in a short amount of time...
Should we be rolling our own skill tests and drain? |

Yes, do so. I would, however, assume something like carrying books wouldn't be too difficult.

Well, just for shits and giggles, I rolled 6 Sorcery dice plus 3 Spell Pool against a TN of 6 for a Force 4 Magic Fingers and got 4 successes. So, he has a set of shadow hands with and effective strength and quickness of 4. Rolling 7 Willpower dice plus 3 Spell Pool against a drain code of 5M stun, I got 3 successes, which stages the drain down to light.

5M Drain? Force 4/2 = 2+2 = 4M. If you have a fetish for Drain, it'd only be 3M. How'd you get 5M? :)

Um, bad math?
Might as well make it no drain then, doesn't matter. EDIT: I think what i did was assume a force 6 spell. That's all I ever cast in my other games playing a mage type character, so it's just a matter of mental shortcutting to assume that my drain will be TN 3 + or - modifiers by spell. |
