Editing A Date with Destiny/Current House Rules

<br>
=Gameplay And Other House Rules:=
===Join Battle===
Any effects which boost this also boost Join Debate, and vice-versa. 

===Social Combat===
Social Combat continues to operate on the long tick system. There is one change to the Social Combat system.

Social attacks that exceed the target's MDV by 3+ successes adds an addtional amount of duration effect equal to (Attack Successes-MDV)/3. 

This means that an attack that exceeds the target's MDV by 9 and is a success (not perfectly dodged or parried) would add 3 duration to the charm's effect. This only affects Charms that have an affect that lasts for a tick, action, scene or some other variable amount of time. It does not affect permananent effects.

===Incapacitated and Dying===
Essence-Users do not die when taken below Incapacitated. They are merely disabled. Killing an essence-using character, to explicitly include exalts and select heroic mortals, requires an additional attack action after disabling them to "finish the job". Ending an Exalt is considered bad form, as reoccurring opponents are nice to have. Bonus XP will be rewarded for not killing important characters at the Storyteller's discretion. 

===Experience Awards===
Experience is awarded on a weekly basis; it is expected that the players will track their earned experience total, their spent experience total and what was purchased with said spent experience. Players receive 8 experience points per week plus any bonus experience earned from completing goals, motivations, and anything else the ST thinks is experience worthy.<br>
<br>
Weekly award: 8xp every Saturday at 12pm GMT<br>
Story award: 8 or more xp when a story is completed<br>
Motivation award: 8xp when a Motivation is moved forward, changed, or completed<br>
Bonus award: 2+ xp for side stories completed through e-mail, chat, IRC, IMs or PMs<br>
<br>
First Age flashbacks are also available for extra xp.

===Training Times===
Training times are ignored for Favored and Caste attributes, abilities, specialties, charms, combos and spells. Essence Training Times are ignored up to Essence 5. Essence 6 and above are attainable via completing your motivation or via the normal training times and requirements. 

===Stunt Awards===
Awarded stunts of one-, two- or three-dice value are no longer dependent on the success or failure of the relevant action, in regards to mote or willpower regeneration. Coolness is its' own reward. 
• If your action succeeds, you gain either motes or willpower from your stunt. 
• If your action fails, you still gain either motes or willpower from your stunt. 
• Stunts are awarded to NPCs at the STs discretion. This will be rare.
• Stunts are awarded to PCs on an IC Post basis, near-automatically, with the major requirement that the IC Post must have a mechanical basis to qualify.
