Hello. I would really appreciate if anybody answered me my previous questions. And I have another one. I can't understand the text on Half-Demons and Mutations right (Book II, p. 220). How and when can a half-demon get Mutations? Do they get only house/breed ones (i.e. at 1st, 4th, 7th etc...

A question: How are you going to handle sorcery? Will you let the PCs to "research" it on their own (i.e. raise their sorcery skill freely), or will you require them to go and find a teacher or at least have access to a library?

Well yes, you are right - one can never quite know what the players will do and where there will be a pressing need for an NPC. It always pays to have a small stockpile of these characters, just in case. And the random mutation system lets quite interesting combinations emerge. It's refreshing...

Yes, random generation sometimes produces interesting combinations. Think of a multiheaded Succubus with the Chain of Flies for example :-) What hellish pleasures she could be able to deliver ;-) You are a bit further than me - I haven't thought about the numbers/combinations yet. I have to...

The same with me. Bringing a very long Shadowrun campaign (since 1996) to an end and preparing for the big Infernum launch. But there is still very much to do (apart from RL nuisances like my Ph.D. thesis) and I have only finished reading the three rulebooks. So no weird character combos yet...

Well, I'm in the middle of my own preparations for an Infernum campaign, so I find this thread very useful. I like the idea of various warring factions inside a single house, determining its politics. It's a surprise for me that you just rolled randomly and then accomodated the rolled-up events...

That's me again. Another bunch of questions from Central Europe :-) I do not understand the text on p. 191, Book I: "The cost of a shapeshift is increased by +1 per Physical mutation involved." What does that actually mean? Mutations that should be hidden by the shapeshift? Does this apply for...

Me. But I'am still preparing the campaign. It should probably start in autumn or early winter. Do you run an Infernum game?

Another one on mortals and iliaster - hellfire. "Mortals may immediately make a Will save as a free action to produce iliaster to refill their reserves; if the victim cannot produce enough iliaster to defend against hellfire, he suffers one point of Charisma or Constitution damage for every...

Thanks a lot. I didn't know (probably failed to notice when reading the rules) that mortals could drink plasmic iliaster and gain any benefits from it. Can they use such kind of iliaster for the purposes of altering fate? And again on generating iliaster - mortals cannot retain the generated...

Ok, that's me again. Today I have a question about sorcery and mortals. Demons are quite clear - they have their iliaster reserve which they can "burn" into rituals. But what about mortals? Can they draw upon their will to generate iliaster in order to spend it into a ritual? And does the limit...

Well, yes, that sounds very reasonable. Thanks a lot. I am quite new to this setting so I don't know all the useful combinations :-) I thought there would be a way but I didn't know it. If I run into any more confusion during the preparation of the campaign I'll post again.

Hi to everyone. I plan on starting an Infernum campaign but I have a couple of questions. The biggest trouble of mine seem to be the random demonic mutations. What about them and let's say decievers or malcubi? Decievers should look perfectly human (aside from a small individual imperfection)...
