Editing Fate the Awakening (section)

== Gnosis ==

Starting Gnosis is 1. Each additional point of Gnosis costs 1 refresh ('''not''' a stunt). However, Gnosis is rated on a 1-5 scale, not a 1-10 scale as in ''Mage: the Awakening.''

Gnosis determines the length of a character's Mana stress track; see Stress Tracks. It does not limit how much Mana a character can spend in a turn, as that is a meaningless concept here.

Characters with Gnosis 4 decrease the passive difficulty of other characters' scrutiny of their (or their spells') Resonance by 2; characters with Gnosis 5 decrease it by 4.

Gnosis caps a character's Arcana skill ratings as follows:<br>
1 Gnosis = four Good (+3), three Fair (+2), three Average (+1)<br>
2 Gnosis = one Superb (+5), two Great (+4), three Good (+3), three Fair (+2), one Average (+1)<br>
3 Gnosis = three Superb (+5), two Great (+4), three Good (+3), two Fair (+2)<br>
4+ Gnosis = five Superb (+5), two Great (+4), three Good (+3)

Characters with Gnosis of 4 or 5 may attempt an Imperial Seeking to gain Archmastery.

No other effects of Gnosis from the ''Mage: the Awakening'' book apply.
