Smiths Falls Ont here!!!! *shouts froma small otherspace*
Wait a second… I’ve only ever called one man El Jeffy! Jeff man, I just realized this was you! Right, welcome to the board ol friend. Of coarse I only realize this at 6am after being up all night long, in a sleepless daze.
I love the damage sytem of UA. Gives you a chance to really get into the story. Since less numbers are being used in the games description of whats occuring. Makes it more streamline in the Mind’s Eye. Yet I’ll also agree, I have rough time in describing whats goin on with damage.
I usually try to mess with a characters senses with damage.
Haveing been punched countless times in my life, I describe punches with sudden distortion of sounds(I suppose heads shots only), which simply turn to momentary thrums, the throbs, and cracks as needed…i find “fire’ and ‘brick’ work well with severe shots.
Goin into shock? Can’t help ya.
whatnot: If it’s crazy weirdness. I usually rely on my pc’s to relay their personal feelings on the situation, and what they’d do. This usually becomes a 5-10 minute conversation on everyone’s POV’s then as everyone stops lauging someone says ‘Okay, I’m about to freak right out, and need cleaner pants.”
Thats awsome, maybe they did work for the clergy, and they were getting to close, so they get their post its, and bingo… it’s the guys who’ve been followin them.
i want to do the same thing in a campaign… think you’d mind sharin some stories?
Never read much, i like reading and all, I’m just always on the go….
Thanks for the book references I will have to try and get a look at them though, but what do you think of the idea? Anyway I can formalize th cabal, or do i even have to?
Which is why i though he might work, as well it’s always up to the individual GM wether 100million is the number used to create icons etc.
Thanks for the amswer tho, that really put Iconomancy in percpective for me.

Mine usually flops open to the Executioner or the firearms chart……
The Freak’s after him because I traded my right hand to my boss. Clean up to the wrist look!
Oh my bad, and as for mimicking those people still alive, thats a close tie in to Iconomancy.. but it deals with Famous Dead people…
Heya. and welcome to the Underground… Lessi If i can answer your question…
The way i view the CTG is that upon her ascension, Daphne Lee was an observer, this tirggered something in her head whichmadea weird sort of sense to her. That the sex acts the Goddess was performing coudl gain you power. The goddess had so much power she went up.
The magick is all based on paradox.. epideromany, gain mastery over the flesh by destroying it, and other schools like that.
There has to be that paradox and unrelenting obsession for it to become magick.
As for Avatars, society has to somewhat be a part of that archtype. Like say ‘The Dark Stalker’, or “The Flying Woman’ or even more recntly I’d assume ‘The Terrorist’. If the archtype is closely tied to humanity it may ascend, and if its already ascended, then the current avatars get power from it.
I’m not to sure on this myself, but The Naked Goddess, rather then have avatars has Adepts, or at least thats what has been cropped up… perhaps the only reason they are not channeling her avatar could be because of some minor imperfection in their view of her archtype, so then they have to settle with magickal powers..
Ug I think I lost it in that last paragraph, but that all I can squeeze out of my head, hope I’ve helped a little, but I’m sure someone else can shed more light on this then I did…
Enjoy.

Thats what makes an Obsession skill so great, a rather crummy sucess of 10, either 11 or 10 damage in a martial arts or firearms check becomes a very successful blow, or really precise shot with a 01. The same goes with Magick, sure you tossed out our minor wammy, but it had alot of hurt behind it, more then what you were expecting.
So I hope that answers your question, or rather I hope I understood the question you were asking.
Good ol 01’s
