Iyanden From The Ashes Rules
STRESS
< half Fortitude: No damage < Fortitude: Minor > Fortitude: Major > 1.5x Fortitude: Severe > 2x Fortitude: Squish If you already have a slot filled then you roll up to the next level. Armor reduces the incoming Stress. Weapons add to Stress.
PSY
Fettered: Half or Less Farsight/Channelling: No Phenoms when +/- 1, level 1s at +/-3, 2s +/- 5, etc (1/2 Difference - 1 = level of Phenom) Unfettered: Up to F/C: Phenom level = difference between result and difficulty Push: above F/C: 2x Difference + 1 = level of Phenom Perils occur when Will threshold is exceeded in addition to the Consequence taken.
Divinatory Runes add 1 per time increment increase to the max Skill usable while still being Fettered. Maximum of Unfettered Skill. Witchblades can convert Phenoms into physical damage to the user and lower the Phenom by one category. Using it this way is optional, you could just suffer the Phenom. Ghost Helms allow a re-roll of Will when resisting Phenoms or add +1 to the roll (choose after rolling) Runes of Witnessing negate all Phenoms of +/- 1 even while Unfettered.
