You're right. Quintessence, however requires Prime 1 to have more Quintessence point than your Avartar rating. Thais ... From: "Mark Koenig"...

when it comes to Arete, is it determined by the sphere with the highest rating (i.e. Life 3) or by the total number of spheres you have (i.e. Life 1, Spirit 2,...
Err... Do you have a core Mage book? It might be wise to look at that, they lay it out fairly clearly there... And if you don't have one and are trying to run...
... Arete is determined initially by your Avatar rating. Spheres have nothing to do with the amount of Arete you get. HOWEVER, the number of dots you have in...

Well maybe not a cat but some sort of trustworthy and loveable animal. Any ideas on how one of these would appear in the umbra? I'm looking for suggestions...
Some kind of anti-rainbow? I know when weres look at a mage through the Umbra they see a rainbow person who glows with the strength of their avatar combined...
Yes you are right they'd probably have some sort of ward attached and always make sure they weren't carrying any quintesscence. I think if it takes them a long...

I would say that they are indeed less powerfula and that the more powerful you are the less likely you are to cross the gauntlet. I think 3rd ed is clearer in...
Let's see ... I'm a 2nd ed. player, and don't care for the story line changes with 3rd ed, so I haven't even tried to compare most details. However, as I...
Well, by now you've probably seen my reaction to the 3rd ed rules. I agree with you about it being more clear, too. However.. what's this 'Scourge' effect? And...
scourge is from The Sorcerer's Crusade. . the Renaissance mage book. It differs in that while paradox is always bad for the mage scourge can sometimes be good...
