ferrinus was kind enough to let me sell off some stuff that I had literally never used

but yes, i did spend regular xp on the magebro sanctum, because I BELIEVE in magebro sanctum

Okay! Size 3 means there's about 5 to 8 rooms. We can set aside a couple for the members of the Cabal who need a permanent place to crash, like Thor.

the only thing I'm definitely buying is order status 3, so I've got 30 merit xp kicking around that I can spend on whatever or if ferrinus decides to give me a cool thing

Do you want to put a library in our Sanctum, or even see if you can move yours into it? :shobon:

i think you'd have to justify that somehow to raise it more than 1 point, i think we'll have to save new york again to get that high :(

also if you're st status 3 in an order you basically have to spend all your free time helping out the order so you won't have any time to ride your bike :(

yeah I know, there are some merits that imply that you're basically a SuperSoldier to the order though I think in the adamantine arrow book, also oaths

if you feel like chipping in 10xp you can buy a fifth dot for the group sanctum, so it can have security 2. but that's more than the others have chipped in since merit dots get more and more expensive so if you don't want to that's cool too!

i'm finding this quite easy, i guess in part because i'm a fast type but also because i have a coherent mental model of the world

da op posted:

PARADOX:
Paradox is a bit more prevalent, but much less hindering. It never directly damages you or causes your spell to fail, but it does cause your spell to have unintended side effects, highlights you as its caster, and sometimes causes collateral damage.

Base Pool: Gnosis Rating
+1 per two Vulgar spells already cast in scene by any mage
+2 if any Sleepers bear witness to the magic
+1 per roll made in a ritual casting

-1 for casting a rote
-2 for using a dedicated tool
-4 for using a dedicated laboratory (supercedes tool)

-2 per extra point of mana spent
-1 per two points of mana spent in ritual

if you guys have like 3 dots of Resources between you and are also adding dots of Library and stuff (i'm fairly sure this is the case) you can treat special parts of your sanctum at dedicated magical laboratories, which are basically room-sized magical implements! as long as your castings are heavily ritualized and partake of the environment around you (stand in your magic circle surrounded by open spellbooks and crystals and poo poo) you can have -4 to paradox rolls instead of just -2 for using a wand or w/e

You can have this werewolf skull that's kind of grody and bleached white or you can have this gnarly werewolf skull that's scorched black and looks like death itself. Which do you choose, Tombheart?

We're at Size 3, Security 1, with a 3-dot Hallow. Arrian bought the Hallow all by himself, which was commendable, but Ferrinus suggested you could chip in a little so he doesn't have to use actual XP instead of just merit XP. A three dot Hallow can be split 6xp and 6xp.

Parecelsus may or may not be moving his 2-dot Library there.

adramel should pay for the entire hallow if he doesn't have any other merit xp ideas imo!

i feel like i should formalize "dedicated laboratory" as a merit, though, since you have to specifically dedicate tools to yourself and a laboratory would be just as private. watch this thread

Crimson is going to be spending 30 of the Merit XP on a Retainer ***** to represent her "buying in" to a Cryptopoly, or getting one of her own off the ground. Six more will go into a shared Library for our new Sanctum. Where is it? Crimson's taking a room and she is TOTALLY staying up as late as she wants. She also has some regular XP to spend but I have to check it.
