Do Hosts count as spirits with regards to werewolf powers, spirit magic and so forth, or do they have different weird interactions?

Naw, the wraiths who date back to actual medieval times come, so that they can heckle, Statler and Waldorf style. All the people who can actually hear them insist that they're hilarious.

I'm pretty sure how it works is that the individual rat/spider spirits are, in fact, spirits. But once you've progressed to the point that you count as a Host it's past the point where those gifts would be effective.

Slimnoid posted:But, why? Because Void Engineer experiments had shown that normal high explosives had no effect on the Tempest, so they wanted to see what relic explosives did. As it turns out, there aren't very many of those. Also because, uh... White Wolf Wikia posted:Jones was recruited into the Orphic Circle, apparently for his research was related to the Tempest and its patterns. He regularly fed intelligence back to the Void Engineers to help them deal with Haunts and Shroud-crossings.[1] He claimed to have accurately identified a regular pattern to Tempest activity which the Orphic Circle could use to time their snake person rituals for eradicating the Shroud entirely.[2] ...those dudes told him to, I guess???

So in essence this dickbag decided "hey let's see what happens when I throw a magic-infused M80 into this swirling mass of dead people." Mages! No sense of right or wrong.

At some point, apparently, Voormas, a mage whose job title was "Grand Harvester of Souls," which honestly tells you everything you need to know about his stance on the whole "no sense of right or wrong" thing, put a curse on the whole concept of necromancy so that sooner or later every group of necromancers would eventually get around to trying to tear down the boundaries between life and death. Presumably he found doing it this way easier than lifting a dang finger himself.

It was still so odd to me to see a random NPC from a not-great book become the world-breaker in Mage. Of course the same thing happened with Zhyzhak in Werewolf, now that I think about it. Both of them in the 'collections of places the splat hangs out at' books too.

I hate Zhyzhak is a walking stereotype. BDSM Werewolf Queen who dresses in straps and has a whip that inflicts all of the pain and is also the chosen of the evil god of war? And she's destined to kill Albrecht because sure.

bewilderment posted:Do Hosts count as spirits with regards to werewolf powers, spirit magic and so forth, or do they have different weird interactions? No, they're not spirits at all. There's not many powers that specifically target hosts, at the most you get things like Boundary Ward, which lets you include hosts among things to sense but isn't something that specifies hosts. The Predators book has a good section about them, if you want more information. Area of effect spells tend to be the most useful, since swarming is a standard tactic (which is why Hunters in Darkness get Influences, to ideally Mass Create and catch them all). nofather fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Feb 10, 2018 |

Is it before the table of contents? Because that's not an unreasonable question of a WoD book, even though it loving should be.

Okay, so it's an old artbook, which makes more sense from a budget perspective, although it still seems like madness in terms of size and weight.

Book seems to own, didn't spot any Swedracula-induced entries about how using Inhabit turns the frogs gay. MonsieurChoc, do you work for Orpheus? e: Other than minor formatting errors the only error seems to be that they forgot to include Connaissance, the Mirrorlands Arcanos. Since they refer to it repeatedly I assume they did not just say "This is what they call Argos." Nessus fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Feb 10, 2018 |
