Basically none, yes.
That's why the game has you also create your mage's Companions, so that they can still go on adventures during the mage's downtime.

But yeah, it's not a game about...
Well, it actually has a bunch of different magical systems, but to describe Hermetic magic (the standard one, both in terms of the Order of Hermes being the most powerful organisation of sorcerers in...
I haven't played Awakening, only Ascension, but I'd say... Yes, actually. As much as some of the concepts seem to translate well from one setting to the next, Mage's magic is very different from TM's...
Savage Worlds is good! I'd still rec a more super-hero focused game for TM RPGs, even those that only involve magi, but SW's pulp feel also works very well.
As for feeding, that's true. As I said,...
Hmmm... Yeah, I'm going with 2 as well.
Singularity T.
Heh. Yeah, that makes sense. And really, Lum is far from her strangest role.
Anna Friel dubbed Urusei Yatsura?!
Feeding by itself doesn't risk lowering Humanity - it's only if you hurt the target or worse.
Also, off the top of my head, there is one benefit to having a high Humanity, at least in Revised (I...
Well, after you've gone to the trouble of introducing all the European Servants to us, Sparta, and even revealing the True Names of Tsarina and the EC's leader, of course I have to vote 2. :Tsarinaha:
Same. And you know, I thought it was going to be boring, but nope - it was actually a lot of fun to just carpet bomb everything nearly turn after turn.
I did get the impression that she felt entirely too human in Olympus for someone who was supposedly an "alien consciousness", but I still assumed that meant Beast VII's consciousness was there, only...
The Rover & DIOMIDIS
Night (Phase 0)
DIOMIDIS's Castle
There was a brief, hoarse sound, something akin to a corpse's last breath. The Rover paused, mildly puzzled - where had such a sound...
+1 to Zik's write-in.
Changing my vote to 1.
Hi there! One of Twelve's players here. Twelve figured it might help newcomers if we talked about the existing PCs in very general terms. Mine is an attempt at making a Thaneborn Barbarian in 5E;...
Yes.
Hmmm...
5.
I have faith in Zikari. +1.
For what it's worth, I do remember somewhere in Extella saying that Saber was picked by the Moon Cell because she's a Top Servant. I don't remember if anything else was elaborated, though - but it...
Kind of circuitous, no?
Goetia burned history because they foresaw the Bleaching, but the Bleaching only occurs because Goetia burned history, but Goetia only burned history...
Interesting!
That still leaves open the question of what was the original threat foreseen by Goetia, though.
Doesn't that imply that the Alien God *isn't* the reason why Goetia saw humanity had no future? That it's just taking advantage of a specific set of circumstances created by the burning of humanity...
Haven't played GURPS since its 3rd Edition, but kind of? I'd still rec HERO System for that; it's pretty much a clear case of "the same, but better".
