Vehicles by and large have a negative modifier for using them unless you do a lot of modifications - one use of Blessing of Perfection and suddenly the average car is responding to your touch like a dream. Blessing Of Perfection replaces an object’s equipment bonus, so by doing so you could make a broken object or something that could vaguely perform a task suddenly capable of doing it, and with a positive modifier.Įven if you find the interpretation of making a snapped in half cellphone suddenly work absurd, as well as making sticks and stones into building tools, then vehicles are really where Blessing Of Perfection shines. When a piece of equipment is broken, it has an equipment bonus of 0 or even a negative modifier for trying to use it - see the Multitool for something that can allow you to do something, but not do it well. We felt that 'replacing' instead of 'adding' your wyrd to rolls, especially at low wyrd levels, made blessing a terrible contract to have unless the target simply lacked the traits that were being replaced, and we felt that might of the terrible brute was done a disservice when it required a grapple in a game where 'looping' exists as one of the core mechanics (and is, in fact, cheaper than the activation of MotTB)To me, the benefit of Blessing Of Perfection isn’t buffing an item so it’s working much better than before, but so that an object can work even when by all means it shouldn’t. I know in my group we also ended up changing blessing of perfection and might of the terrible brute, mostly due to our own opinions of them. really hard to capture and understand for a lot of people. It feels like it mechanically captures something that is. Honestly, scratch the onieromancy thing, the clarity improvement is my favorite. I like the idea that over time you could start being affected by everything at low clarity, but could eventually raise yourself to hundreds of clarity points and - really - never have to worry about the most detrimental effects of clarity, but still be 'triggered' by it. I like the idea of traveling through dreams, the hedge, and other locations, collecting the broken pieces of yourself and slowly trying to put yourself back together. I think it needs a bit more bite to it, but the idea of icons and the fact that there is no limitation on icons deeply appeals to me. I also love how they've worked out the True Fae, and how much more difficult they are to deal with when presented as a threat to the players. I feel like they actually made the art of Onieromancy a lot more important in second edition, which was one of my only issues with the first edition game - that entire section seemed 'added in' and completely unnecessary. One of my favorite things that they did was what they did with Onieromancy. We felt that 'replacing' instead of 'adding' your wyrd to rolls, especially at low wyrd levels, made blessing a terrible contract to have unless the target simply lacked the traits that were being replaced, and we felt that might of the terrible brute was done a disservice when it required a grapple in a game where 'looping' exists as one of the core mechanics (and is, in fact, cheaper than the activation of MotTB)ĭespite that though, and despite the need for those little tweaks, it's great. Some contracts you'll need to define a duration because it isn't actually stated. From what I can tell, you'll need to define how elementals work, as well as how some of their seeming blessings work when learned by members of other seemings. I think I've found the biggest issue that I've run into is the contract section. Mechanically, there have been a lot of issues, especially running a low wyrd game, that I've had to readjust, clarify, or house rule. With that said, thematically I think it's an amazing improvement. That radical shift caused me to take a lot more time than I usually would to run something.
I think at first I had a lot of issues with it, and that was mostly due to being prepared for what was being playtested and getting a different beast entirely.
