Tools of the trade - Expanded Focus rules for Mage 20th Anniversary Edition

Focus Reimagined!

"Tools of the Trade" is a short supplement featuring rules for the Foci through which Mages bend reality to their whims. Using the systems written in this document, Players and Storytellers can create sets of foci that have significant impact in-game, giving bonuses and penalties which change according to the situation and the character's particular way of casting magick.

But how do you do that?

This book contains the rules for a whole new part of a Mage's Focus: Components. These are broad-strokes descriptors of what makes the character's particular way of casting magic different to that of other people. These components present Mages with Boons (Dice Bonuses) when casting in beneficial situations, and Banes (Dice penalties) when the Mage is forced to work outside their areas of expertise. As the character progresses, they will face a choice: Do they shed the limits of their components? Abandoning the benefits which they yield? Or do they hone them even further, mastering their specialized discipline but remaining caged by their Focus.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
