Random thought, and rules question.

So I had a random thought on my way home from game tonight....are the magical skills Knowledge skills at the 2/1 or are they normal skills at the 3/2 and are based off of a stat. If the latter is true then what stat are they based off of?

they are 3/2 and are ego based. You could have a KS for specific types of magic (as opposed to KS occult which is more general but with a weighting towards traditional magic for example), but this would not allow you to cast spells.

Incidentally, I knew I was right about humans being poor spell-casters!

(from the game PDF)

Human and Were - 10 AP
Changeling and Tiefling - 20 AP
Fey and Demon - 30 AP

Humans are better than Were because their base EGO is 10, not 9, and because they have access to all 3 paths of Magic.

Cheers
