Also of the metavariants, elves and dwarves were born. They didn't go through a Goblinization like Orks and Trolls. I like the idea of an illness coming over them that was mentioned. You could try and make that they have to be in some area that has at least some mana to alleviate the symptoms. Or I could see some sort of dormancy as the mojo that powers them in a sense is not present. Of course that means the players don't get to do much. Still, would add a sense of urgency and a desire to fix the statue again.

I always liked the idea of going forward in time and having the players trying to catch up.

QUOTE (Tanegar @ Oct 1 2010, 08:54 PM) Page reference? Metatypes express when the ambient mana level rises high enough to activate their metagenes. Suddenly, two mana-dependent characters (and they are mana-dependent, regardless of whether they are personally Awakened or not) find themselves in a world where the ambient mana level is not sufficient to sustain metagene activation. What happens? I'm pretty sure there is no RAW on this, but the logical conclusion is that the metagenes become dormant again. Hey presto, you're human! "But I don't wanna be human! I'm a dwarf, damnit!" Then you'd better get off your six-foot ass and find that statue, hadn't you, chummer? I think you're wrong here. The metagenes needs enough mana to activate, but once activated we have multilples exemples showing that they stay on and the changes brought by their activation persists even with lower/no mana. Surge : a mana peak can triggers the change, but once activated the genes stays on and the changes stays there. Spike babies : they need the spike to trigger the changes, but they keep them later, they didn't "de-spike" when leaving the high magic area. Semi-ballisitcs, suborbitals and space stations : they leave the manasphere, but metahuman in them don't revert to baseline. |
