Mage Q&A

[Samael]

Hey guys! So you know what I love about Mage? Pretty much everything. (No, really...basically, everything about it.) You know what I ~don't~ love about Mage? The fact that White Wolf took their "Vague it up" philosophy to the Nth degree for large swaths of the game. I've always felt and said that Mage is one of the greatest WoD games to ST for and one of the hardest to play because so much of it is left to ST caveat, more so than I think any other system (with the possible exception of Wraith).

So, with that being said; welcome to this thread. This is the thread to go to for if you have any questions in a general nature that need answers. Some of this information could find its way into the Mage content pages or onto the Wiki if appropriate. This isn't for questions specific to your characters such as "Can I take X Merit" or the like (email or IM me for that), but rather for things that would need clarification in a more general way such as paradigm, Sphere level questions, Paradox, vulgar vs. coincidental or other casting questions, Rote clarifications and the like.

(And yes, I ~totally~ stole this idea from Kai's FAQ post for Werewolf. Thanks Kai!)
