Balance
- Increasing Balance is time-limited per '+rules minimum time'.
Character generation
- One free spell or ritual at each hekau level, but only during chargen. (MtR 60 says 'one per', MtR 78 says 'two per'. We picked the former.)
- Sekhem equals final Balance (after freebies) plus what your Vessel (if any) holds. It cannot be raised with freebies.
Cross-sphere
Vampire feeding from a mummy (based on MtR 145):
- If the mummy loses N blood, then they also lose N Sekhem and the vampire gains 2*N blood.
- The vampire also gains +N Humanity until the blood is spent.
- Vampires on a Path of Enlightenment gain artificial Humanity (starting at 0) in addition to their Path of Enlightenment.
- Attempting to violate this artificial Humanity: Roll (Instinct or Self-Control) vs (artificial Humanity). Fail = cannot bring yourself to commit the violation, which may trigger a degeneration check against your Path of Enlightenment.
- Kuei-jin gain Yang Chi instead of blood.
Non-Egyptian mummies
Non-Egyptian mummies are allowed:
- Capacocha, Teomallki, Wu T'ian, Cabiri, Ishmaelites, Others (MtR 217-227, MPG 71-97, MtR 2nd 33-38 and 75)
- +sheet will generally use the standard Amenti names, regardless of what the character ICly calls them (MPG 104). 'Lifeforce' = Sekhem (MPG 111).
- For Martial Arts, either hard style or soft style may be used.
- Any pre-Revised differences in game mechanics will be adapted at staff discretion, e.g. 'must go back to Egypt' becomes 'must go back to Greece' or some other similarly distant place.
- Children of Apophis (bane mummies) are not allowed as PCs, as there are only seven of them in the entire world.
Phylacteries
Reference: MPG 224-229
- May be taken in chargen using Relic background
- Creating one (or re-creating after destroyed in the living world) requires Sanctify Chattel (MPG 169)
- May store up to (Balance * 10) Sekhem (aka Lifeforce, etc.)
- Exceeding this limit causes it to explode, doing 1 level of lethal per stored Sekhem
- May use stored Sekhem as if it was part of your normal pool
- If an enemy steals the phylactery, they may use it against you
- They exist simultaneously in the living world and the Land of the Dead (Shadowlands), powered by the latter
- They have an additional magic effect (guidelines TBD)
Sekhem
Spending Sekhem on hekau:
- All Sekhem spent on a spell must be spent at the instant it's cast.
- Sekhem spent on a ritual may be spent at any time during the ritual.
- Drawing Sekhem from a Vessel requires one turn of concentration each time.
