They'll still often have a home shrine, but that's for human convenience.

Curses (and poisons delivered to the locus itself) would attack Numen, since they are attacking the home base / true essence as opposed to the projected body.<br /><br />I'll add something about raising Forma per level; as for Numen, that is increased by actively strengthening the home locus - holding appropriate rites, caring for the shrine, that will bump you up.<br /><br />I use GLOG primarily for spellcasting and templates, so the normal old school bonus dispersion is still on.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-56062813548145751002018-05-23T13:44:54.590-04:002018-05-23T13:44:54.590-04:00Additional thought to that, if someone wants to pl...Additional thought to that, if someone wants to play as Folk they could easily be a different Folk every session.

Do Folk abilities cap at 16, per rolling 4d4? Or should they have N+3 and N-3 templates?<br /><br />Do they roll each level to potentially raise Forma and Numen?Dire Grizzly Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314149112290998843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-31860075188642710322018-05-22T21:48:39.692-04:002018-05-22T21:48:39.692-04:00Yep.

Now, there are many Folk who treat an entire region as their home (example, a river spirit could go up and down the length of the river without losing Power), but most will be quite diminished.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372693484053299675.post-21414551363145893512018-05-22T21:42:27.372-04:002018-05-22T21:42:27.372-04:00Holy crap, this is a fantastic fantastic race as c...Holy crap, this is a fantastic fantastic race as class.
