Changes to the Sorcery Ritual Rarity System
Open Votes
3.c.iii. Genre Coordinators must pass before Council any plot, enforced policy, R&U named characters, or binding edict they wish to use which they can reasonably expect to affect multiple chronicles and these proposals need not be seconded, but go immediately into discussion.
Below is an update to the sorcery ritual rarities. I am not including conversions in this request as those will follow with another prop later.
Updated To:
Assamite Sorcery Rituals – (Rarity/Required Rank):
All of the rituals in this packet have their most recent text reference (which may differ from the actual genre text reference) listed in the chart below. Any rituals not printed in a Revised MET book are listed in the section directly following the ritual chart. Note: Use of the Tremere: Clan Book (revised) as a MET rules references is merely for a lack of any other MET write up for rituals listed as being in genre for Assamite Sorcerers.
Anything marked with (A) is an Assamite Only ritual, this means that the ritual may only be bought by an Assamite PC's and used on other Assamites PC's unless otherwise marked. Those rituals marked with a pair of asterisks (**) are Dur An Ki.
