Psionics die (regardless of his Wild Die), he is automatically
Shaken. On a critical failure, the psi lets out a psychic scream
that causes him to be Shaken along with all allies in a Large
Burst Template who fail a Spirit roll. This can cause a wound

=='''House Stuff'''==
===General House Rules===

*One or two BOONS start, regular refresh. 
*Common Knowledge (to save build points). NO dice should be spent in knowledge skills. The RAW Common Knowledge rule that characters use their smarts, at +2 when background is relevant, will serve universally. 
*‘Natural’ skills (also to save build points). Most skills like climbing, stealth, throw, persuade can be attempted ‘unskilled’ at d4 (NOT the RAW d4-2) , provided the character has at least a d6 in the related attribute. 
*Guts is not a skill (roll spirit instead) as in Deluxe rules. 
*	Tracking can be attempted with Survival or Notice -1 die type. 
*	Lockpicking can be attempted with Repair-1 die. 



==='Identifiable Hero'=== 
Any character who fails thrown rolls three times in a row gets a boon. Being awarded the boon in that scene disallows the identifiable hero from doing anything flashily successful using boons in the same scene. All player characters would get it, balancing out with the fact that I generally only refresh at two boons.

===Ritual magic===
EDGE , RITUAL MAGIC, requires Corruption, Smarts d8. The sorcerer can perform a ritual to summon, foretell, etc using ritual magic. They must spend a boon  to know the ritual required (unless used previously) and perform with the following cost:
*trivial (find object, see person, if local) : roll psychic TN4, 5 power points
*challenging (e.g. summon minor being, speak with dead, curse other) : roll psychic TN4, TN6 to avoid harm , half full power points and a further benny
*dangerous (e.g. summon major being, call plague , raise undead ): roll psychic TN6, TN8 to avoid harm , all power points and two further bennies. 
<br/>
Rituals require time, ceremonial robes, a lofty tower or other (in) auspicious location. Ritual-specific wands, rods, ancient tomes may reduce the cost/ difficulty. Sacrifices always reduce both.

===The White Card===
 I will issue you with a White Card to use the secret rooms of the Royal Library. These <br/>contain all my collection, as well as that of all of my predecessors.GRAND VIZIER


Mechanically this will mean that, as long as you (=Morous) have time and are in the City to access the library, a new ritual can be learned by carrying out a successful Investigation roll (TN4) rather than paying the boon specified by the Ritual Magic rules. The TN for each level of spell difficulty can be reduced by 1 (maximum!) if shifts are gained on the same Investigation roll. The roll can be maxed (like taking 20 in DnD) if days are spent researching.

=='''City Quarters'''==



 Obtained by the crown after the death of its creator in most unfortunate and wholly unrelated circumstances,
 this painting [http://img.booru.org/grognard//images/28/5fd4a028085ed6c31965231089ceebf88cb0ae11.jpg] by the legendary Talmiro of Alessia is often cited as a masterpiece in allegorical use of light.
 It combines painstaking authenticity to detail with grotesquely exaggerated proportions, lending it a fantastical
 air firmly grounded in reality that is widely claimed to portray the City more truthfully than any cartographer could 
 ever hope to do - if thefabled spires are not quite as high as the clouds in fact, the Rock not quite so massive 
 and the Palace upon it not so monstrously sprawling in reality, still, it is said, they are most certainly so in 
 spirit and impression... A Catalog of the Royal Gallery of Wonders by Countess Valesca of Poitain

The city has nine quarters arranged in a 3*3 pattern. The NE palace quarter stands] on a hill that overlooks the city ; sloping gently to the Garden quarter to its west, but falling in a steep cliff to the granary yards to its south. The city is surrounded by well-defended walls. Tanneries and kilns lie to the SW, outside the walls. <br/>

<br/>
W: CRAFT QUARTER.......CENTRE: GRAND BAZAAR......E: GRANARY YARDS<br/>
<br/>
SW: RABBLE QUARTER...... CARAVAN QUARTER.............SE: CANAL DOCKS<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Tower Quarter: temples, pagodas, astrologers' towers<br/>

Palace Quarter: royal apartments, harem, barracks, great library<br/>
<br/>
