Re: OOC7: The OOC Awakens
I just want to make sure I have all of the initiation information correct here. The base cost of or Initiation is 6 (5 + desired grade of 1). And we are doing a group initiation with an ordeal, so we multiply that total by 1.5 for a total of 9. So it will cost us each 9 karma minimum to initiate. Then we also have to pay an additional 3 karma to join the group that we are forming. For a total of 12 karma minimum.
Then we have to spend a month trying to establish a group. After the month is up, we attempt to initiate by rolling dice vs a target number. The target number is 12, +2 for each type of awakened member we accept (mage, shaman, adept), -1 for each stricture we have, and -1 for each month of dedicated work by all members. (And -2 for any members already initiated in a magical group, but I don't think we will have any of those.)
The number of dice we roll is equal to the number of group members we have, + any extra dice we buy for 3 karma each. We can try this once a month.
So after a month of dedicated work with Caduceus, White Duck, Koby, Julia, and her three other people, we would be rolling 7 dice (plus any extras for 3 karma each) against a target number of 13 minus our strictures. (12, +2 for shamans and adepts, -1 for a month of work)
Was that correct?
Alternatively, I believe Caduceus has enough karma that he could try self initiation with the meditation ordeal. Then you guys could have a pure adept group, which would make your target number 11 minus strictures, and with 6 dice to roll. Would that be better? I'm not too sure how anxious Caduceus would be to join a group with mostly people he doesn't know very well anyway.
