CBN is being unfair, Harmony is dumb but it's not really that invasive

at levels 7->5/4ish, which is what most play will take place at, it pretty much forbids the usual stuff (except for the thing where if you reveal the truth of the werewolf condition to a human you actually lose spiritual power and go insane)

I no longer believe in the greater purpose.

reading the grimoire book and supplements, in the mage world, orders vehemently protect their particular rotes, and i can't seem to wrap my head around that, i'm just like "what's the big deal, i buy them for 2 xp a dot, i don't even have to buy them dot by dot like everything else, what the gently caress is with you"

you'd be able to use your senses normally but not manipulate anything

i'm pretty sure you'd still be able to cast magic to some degree too but i may be wrong

i think it'd be forces. you don't actually have a twilight form when you use Mind to project yourself, you're just a mind. i think you're intangible even to other twilight poo poo like ghosts, although i'm not looking at thebook atm

This mental form has no Corpus or ephemeral body, just an intangible, semi-transparent mage that can be affected only by mind-affecting powers. Likewise, the mentally projecting mage cannot affect creatures or things physically except through magic.

i think i might require that sensory range be measured from your physical body because just being able to turn into a mind and then gently caress people up w/ magic while they can't do poo poo about it is kind of crazy

(i.e. you'd need to do everything as a Sympathetic spell. the immediate presence of your mind means you've got an automatic Intimate connection though)

read the wod corebook \___

if you are using a weapon and your damage exceeds your opponent's dexterity you can choose to knock their weapon out of their hand and send it flying (no. successes) yards.

disarm is something you deliberately attempt rather than a free bonus effect you get per hit, isn't it? i don't remember it looking bad..

Ferrinus posted:

Disarm (**)
Prerequisite: Dexterity *** and Weaponry **
Effect: Your character has refined his Weaponry Skill
to the extent that he can use a weapon to disarm opponents
in close combat. When making a normal attack,
compare your successes to the opponent's Dexterity. If you
get a number of successes equal to or greater than the
opponent's Dexterity, you can choose to have your character
disarm him instead of doing damage. A weapon lands
a number of yards away from the opponent equal to your
successes rolled.
Disarming is a different activity than specifically attacking
or breaking weapons or items carried by opponents.
See 'Equipment' (p. 139) for rules on doing that.

to be fair it's not for mage, i was just curious about your opinion on it in general

i was just wondering if it was one of those merits like fresh start that sounds okay in the book and is completely useless in practice

keep in mind: you attack them, and disarm, inflicting no damage

on their action, they pick up their weapon, inflicting no damage

one on one it's basically a delay tactic although of course if you have friends with you rock on
