Character Point Rate

Witches pride themselves in their ability to commune with nature and the spirits. Mental and Will is the way to go for them.

The Witch's character point rate is:
  • Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level obtained in Divination (total of +0.8 bonus possible).
  • A witch who gets all 4 levels of Magical Components gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • A witch who gets all 4 levels of Occult Aid gets to roll  2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • A witch who gets at least 1 level in every witch skill gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
  • A witch's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 Mental. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your Mental is 60, you would take 1.5 x 30 to get 45 extra character points at the end of the session. The GM can of course reward extra character points based on role playing.
