Thanks for that. So you reckon a better idea would be to not worry so much about what spells they learn, but write down how many charges they should get per day?

Thank you, that gives me a lot to think about.

Ooh, I like that. It’d never occurred to me. Might have to pull out the Bible and go through Revelations. I guess you could also have a Jesus archetype in there as well and have a battle to see who ascends first…

I had a similar idea with the character sheets. I was going to write up my own version for the same reason. I also won’t be telling them what system we’ll be playing or letting them look at the rules.

I guess you’re right about Avatars. I’m just a little worried at the thought of saying to a player “Ok, you’ve been playing this character for a few months and now you can use magick. Here are three options you can take.” and have them dislike all three, but still want to do something. I suppose in that event they can learn it from scratch and they’ll just have to accept the 5 failed notches in Self.

I’m pretty sure I’ll have at least one player who choose to remain a mundane as well.

I’m still trying to come up with the final archetype to ascend. I’m going to use an idea called the ‘Singularity’ which was coined by real world futurist, Ray Kurzweil. He believes that as soon as the processing power of computers overtakes our brains we will be inundated with new forms of technology. I’m combining this with an idea from the Testament graphic novel series of living currency. It’s essentially nanobot coin which is injected into your bloodstream. The currency itself contains amazing AI and is capable of adjusting itself in realtime to meet market demands. Of course the sinister side of it is that it will allow whoever controls the currency to use the nanobots to subtly send out signals such as “you really want to buy those shoes…” My idea for the archetype of this would be “Manipulator”. Not 100% though, I’m pretty sure that archetype would already be up there and having it simply replaced would not signal the ascension of St Germain…
