Morality and Paths
Six months of roleplay to leave Humanity. Path-jump difficulties, virtue conversion, and starting on a path.
- path
- humanity
- virtues
Characters transitioning from Humanity onto a Path of Enlightenment must have six months out of character committed to roleplaying the journey.
New characters may start on a Path with storyteller approval. Characters may not begin play on a custom path that has not been introduced to One World by Night.
Transition / path jumping
| Current path rating | Willpower difficulty |
|---|---|
| 1 | 6 |
| 2 | 8 |
If someone (including yourself) has path lore at the appropriate level and is assisting, you get a free retest. The only other retests are Luck or permanent Willpower.
If you jump to a path with different virtues you only go down by 1 virtue. Self-Control 4 becoming Instinct puts you at 3.
If you outright win the chop first try, you may throw a static: win or tie lets you start at 2 on the new path.
