| + | Mage lets you select Foci for your Spheres. First Edition was proscriptive. Starting on page 117 of the First Edition Book has these. I guide you there not to say “these are it” but to help make some suggestions. I want you to really think about the style of magic your character uses. It is not just your tradition, but your character’s style. Mage: 20th Edition moves this further, on pages 259, 565-600. This expands from a single item to tools that you use. We will continue to use the discard rate from Mage, 2nd Ed. of one per additional point of Arete and allow the more general tool version. Please note, we will also start the tool alteration for Tradition Technomancers (VA and SOE). Use of a focus or set of tools you do not need to use, will still reduced the difficulty by –1. | ||
