Rule Interpretations
- Adventure XP is incompatible with any kind of productive work,
including teaching, writing or copying books, lab work, etc. The only
exception is mundane work which can be seen as an extension of the
story.
- Personal vis source grants 3p/year if a technique, 4p/year if a
form.
- We do not use the optional book rules from [Cov]. This was discussed
during the previous saga and considered to be too much bookkeeping.
House rules
- Aegis of the Hearth can be invented with different size modifiers,
even though range/duration/target cannot be modified. The base size is
100 paces diameter, but +1 (300 paces) versions are common in the
Order.
- A magus can fixing several arcane connections in a season, up to his
Magic Theory score. However, it is not possible to fix one in less than
a season, or combinethis with other lab activities. The fixing process
needs to be aligned with celestial cycles, but the process allows some
parallellism.
- Teleportation is not discontinuous disappear/reappear behaviour, but
rather ultra-fast real movement. This means that one cannot teleport out
of a complete enclosed room, but has in practice no consequences for the
speed of movement. An unobstructed path, not necessarily a straight
line, is required.
- Fractional xp carry over. In other words, when an odd number of xp
is assigned to an ability/art with affinity, the half xp should be
recorded and not rounded up.
Mythic Europe
Interpretations
- Most magi dress so that they are easily recognisable as members of
the Order. This often includes badges and insignia, which are known to
many learned people. Players whose character dresses differently, should
be careful to state this.
- The Irish year starts on 1 November (toussaints or Halloween), and
the year is divided in two, with Summer starting 1 May. Matching this
with Hermetic seasons, it is reasonable to let the year start with
Winter 1 November, Spring 1 Februar, Summer 1 May, and Autumn 1 August.
This places solstices and equinoxed approximately mid-season. The
difficulty is, of course, that the Winter of 1220, starts 1 November
1219 by modern calendar.
