There are four Domains in Beyond the Veil, each corresponding to the various psychic, emotional, and alchemical properties inherent to the spiritual and mortal world. While Rank is the measure of how powerful a character is be the Domains a character possesses determine what sort of abilities they have, and thus the character’s Attunements are a good indication where their interests lie.
Limitations[edit]
- A character may never buy a Domain rating higher than their Rank. If their Rank is reduced extra levels are suppressed and cannot be used. The exception to this is “bonus” ranks granted by Attunements.
- A character is limited in how many Domains they can purchase ranks in by their Rank. If the character has purchased Ranks in too many Domains for their current Rank (such as when circumstances force Transubstantiation to a lower Rank) the character’s “extra” Domains are suppressed in order from lowest to highest rating. When comparing ratings include all purchased ranks, including those suppressed by reduced Rank, as well as ranks granted by Attunement. If there is a tie the player must choose which is suppressed.
Improvement[edit]
Buying the first level of a Domain costs a single soul, while improving a character’s rating in a Domain costs a number of Souls equal to the new level times the number of times a Domain of that level has been purchased plus 1. Thus purchasing your first level 1 domain costs a single soul, while a character with Cups 3 who wants to go from Coins 2 to Coins 3 would need to spend 9 Souls.
