How we apply the Fate System here on Tenebrous Isles
Where Can I Find Fate Info?
|
| Here at Tenebrous Isles we will be implementing a combination of Fate Core, Fate Accelerated, and Dresden Files RPG/Accelerated rules. Luckily, you can find the Fate books at Evil Hat's site, including DFA (Dresden Fate Accelerated) once it's released publicly.

Is it really all that different?
|
| Yes, things have changed up a bit. Some skills have been combined and new skills have been added. There are differed rates of XP (Days) gain and when/how you can spend them. Additionally, powers are somewhat different, though some have seemingly stayed almost the same. To make things easier on those coming to our game, we've provided all available powers, stunts, and available info here on our wiki so that even if you don't have the RPG books you can play here.

Why The Fate Combo?
|
| There are many reasons why we decided to go for the combination of Fate rules we've decided on. The biggest reason is that the standard play rules in the DFRPG system have been improved for enhanced usability, understanding, and balance. We wanted to incorporate a system of play that helped players get a firm hold on the system no matter their level of exposure previously.

Advancement
|
| It's often the first question asked of any RP site you go to. How do I advance my character? Well, here at Tenebrous Isles you gain XP in the form of Days. Our system is set up with an MMO-style graduated scale of XP gain. You'll gain your earlier days fast, really fast, to the point that you'll be able to build up your new PC very quickly. As you gain more Days on your PC the gain will slow down, making it so that you have to wait longer between milestone achievements.
Eventually, you WILL hit the XP cap. And yes, there is an XP cap here. Don't despair though! Once you've hit the XP cap on your PC, you have the option of giving all further gained days on that PC to one of your alternate PCs. This allows you to bring your old PC to a scene where you might need them, or to continue their story, without feeling as though your efforts are being unrewarded. The story of your PC doesn't end when XP gain does, and we fully understand that.

Power Limits
|
| While there is an XP cap, there is also the limiter of a powers cap here at TI. Each PC starts out with 8 refresh to spend, which makes it so that they are able to build a full Magical Practitioner template, A True Shapeshifter, or a White Court Vampire (the 3 most expensive starting mantles). From that point, you are only allowed to spend Refresh points up to 14 points of Powers. Yes, this means that even if your Scion's Grand-Parent Power template has 85 Refresh worth of powers, you will only ever be allowed to take 14 Refresh worth of those listed Powers.
Stunts are not considered Powers, and therefore will not add to the total Refresh spent on Powers.
