| - | Mage 2E introduces radical changes to the various types of Shields/Armors that can be cast. We'll be play-testing these for some time before fully introducing them. During the three month play-test, players may choose whether to use the 1E or 2E version of their Armor(s).
| |
| | | | |
| - | Mage Armor is now an 'Attainment' that becomes available with the second dot of an Arcana and no longer spells. So there are both changes to how Armor interacts with the system at large as well as how it can be used:
| + | While the rules for 2e armor are present below for clarity sake and so it is clear. The mage Venue uses 1e mage armour and mage sight as per the core book. |
| | | | |
| - | ===Attainments===
| |
| - | * An Attainment is not visible to [[Mage Sight]].
| |
| - | * An Attainment and cannot be Dispelled.
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| - | ===Activation===
| + | |
| - | * 2E Armor requires 1 [[Mana]] to activate and is [[Reflexive]].
| + | |
| - | * 2E Armor has no 'full day' option.
| + | |
| - | * 2E Armor cannot be 'stacked' -- only one Armor is allowed to be active.
| + | Mage 2E introduces radical changes to the various types of Shields/Armors that can be cast. We'll be play-testing these for some time before fully introducing them. During the three month play-test, players may choose whether to use the 1E or 2E version of their Armor(s). |
| - | * 2E Armor can Reflexively changed at the beginning of a Turn, for an additional 1 Mana.
| + | |
| | + | Unlike 2E, we'll simply be adopting the mechanics and effects of the Armor(s). They will remain Spells rather than be changed to Attainments and otherwise be identical to the 1E spell versions. |
