Quote:How is it shoving a square peg through a round hole? It's just a few tweaks. Have you even actually checked out any of the Cinematic products or have you just decided, it's different so it's obviously crap?

Quote:Anyway, George has stated more than once that BH will be useable for both Classic & Cinematic Unisystem, so it will be of equal value to people who prefer one over the other

Quote:Just as long as the "Classic" compatibility isn't some afterthought that makes the game less feasible for those who are fans of the "Classic"...

Quote:Considering the quality writing in Eden's books, I'm kind of stunned you'd even imply they would do anything less. The book was originally discussed before Cinematic Unisystem was a hit, so it was always planned to be used with both versions equally.

Quote:I can see what he's saying to some degree. You can almost effortlessly translate Classic to cinematic, but when trying to figure magic, powers, and some skills the other way around it gets a bit tedious.

Quote:As for Essence not all abilities use Essence in Classic Unisystem from what I have seen. Psychic Powers do not, if I recall correctly. Only Magic and Miracles, if I recall.

Quote:Psychic (Seer) Powers do not require essence, though they can be boosted with it. They cost about 2.5x more than Invocations do, however. this cost is due to invocations requireing large essence pools to fuel them and essence channeling to draw out the essence.All other metaphysics use essence (Chi powers, Miracles, Necromancy, Primal powers, Spirit powers, Theopanies, Tao-chi. . . .) except for the ones that use taint instead.though some (such as necromancy) can make do without essence chanelling and just use rituals instead.Consequently when you translate a power into classic you would generally add it to the vast majority of powers fueled directly with essence.
