Talk:The Altered Course

• We had some discussion about it last night, but while reading I came across the text. Sidereals are all assigned not only to their division, but a minimum of 2 conventions. One directional conventional and at least one special convention. It also mentions that young Sidereals tend to be much more involved with their direction than their special convention so taking backing or connections in it is probably not necessary.
• Also, the reason we had the second excellency instead of the first Brian is because you can gain a maximum of as many dice or successes as your permanent essence. So at essence 2 you max out at either 2 dice, or 2 successes added. Could be argued that this values the 2nd excellency a bit higher.
• I was just reading through the errata. If anyone else feels like reading through it, what are your thoughts on using it? After reading it further, it is really extensive. It would be difficult to remember all the changes. Some stuff I really like, for example, no more combos. But they also redo or change most of the charms in all the books...
