Omnessence Cost Guidelines


Potency

Conflict	Each Attack Modifier value					3
	Each Defense Modifier value					3
	Causes target to make some kind of Trial					varies according to Trial
			Direct consequences of Trial failure
				Unwilling action, passivity (fatigue, sleep, paralysis, etc.)		Moderate
				Physical or Psychological Harm (Shock, Trauma)		Impressive
				Serious Harm (Wound, Insanity, etc.)		Epic
				Fatal or nearly Fatal Harm (Aging, Death, etc.)		Mythic
			Default Difficulty of Trial
					Routine (5)	Slight
					Moderate (10)	Moderate
					Challenging (15)	Impressive
					Difficult (20)	Epic
					Formidable (25+)	Mythic

Enhancement / Hindrance	Each rank improved / hindered costs a number of Omnessence Points equal to the Interaction Point cost required to purchase the new rank (effects that decrease abilities incur costs as if the adept were increasing the rank by the amount it is to be reduced).

	Eliminating an existing hindrance is possible (used for healing effects to eliminate wound penalties - full healing requires that all Hindrances from a Wound be eliminated)					3 x Hindrance value

	Granting new abilities is possible, some examples:
						Slight
						Moderate
						Impressive
						Epic
						Mythic

Fundamental Inertia	This category applies to both physical and psychological "movement" of all kinds.
	Effect is complementary to target's State (slight change in temperature or direction of movement)					Slight
	Effect causes a minor alteration to target's state (simple suggestion, causing movement where none existed before)					Moderate
	Effect causes a significant alteration to target's state (an action opposed to nature or inclination)					Impressive
	Effect causes a major change to target's state (life-risking action or actions)					Epic
	Effect causes a fundamental change to target's state					Mythic

Size	Up to 50% larger or smaller than original size					Slight
	Up to 100% larger or smaller than original size					Moderate
	More than 100% smaller than original size					Impressive
	Up to 500% larger than original size					Impressive
	Up to 1000% larger than original size					Epic
	More than 1000% larger than original size					Mythic

Imagery	Illusionary images of:
		Flux, Spirit				Slight
		Matter				Moderate
		Organic				Impressive
		Reality				Epic


Intricacy

Nature of Change	If alteration is within a Dominion, apply value once. If altering from one Dominion to another, apply both initial and target Dominion values.
			Flux	Slight
			Matter	Moderate
			Will	Moderate
			Organic	Impressive
			Spirit	Impressive
			Reality	Epic

Sentience	Costs apply to both progression and regressions (for regressions, use cost of initial state)
			Non-sentient or partially sentient	Slight
			Sentient	Impressive
			Hyper-sentient	Epic

Penetration	Effects penetrate (pass through) Spirit, Will, or Flux barriers			Moderate
	Effects penetrate Matter barriers			Impressive + Affinity
	Effects penetrate Organic barriers			Epic + Affinity
	Effects penetrate Reality barriers			Mythic

Creation / Restoration	Effects create an elementary construction (restoring a broken glass, healing a light wound, or creating a simple energy construct)			Slight
	Effects create a more complicated Matter, Organic, or Flux element (creating a table and chairs, recreating a complex sound or music, healing a wound)			Moderate
	Effects create very intricate elements (complex illusions from Spirit, healing broken bones / severe wounds, creating Reality constructs)			Impressive
	Effects create almost anything except complex sentient organic beings (major healing, etc.)			Epic
	Effects create anything within the bounds of the Origin			Mythic

Destruction / Depletion	Normally, this would fall within the bounds of Potency, above. Sufficient power to overcome the innate structure of the target would be necessary.

Detection / Divination / Sensitivity	Effects target:
		Will, Organic, Matter (non-living matter)		Moderate
		Spirit, Flux		Impressive
		Reality		Epic

	Depth of Contact	Surface (scanning for general emotion, etc.)		Slight
		Casual (general information)		Moderate
		Intent (specific information requiring some coercion of subject, or overcoming barriers to knowledge)		Impressive
		Deep (extensive specific information or insight)		Epic
		Total (no secrets are withheld, all information available is known)		Mythic

	Target Familiarity	Very familiar		Slight
		Somewhat familiar		Moderate
		Unfamiliar		Impressive

	Components	Thought only		Slight
		Visual, audible, or other elements		Slight per added element


Energy	Elemental effects are present (i.e. fire acts like real fire, not just power that appears to be fire).
		Earth, Water, Fire, Air (Sound)		Moderate
		Spirit, Force, Electrical, Chemical		Impressive

Perception / Illusion	Effects target one element of perception (one sense)			Slight
	Effects target two elements of perception (an illusion that can be seen and heard)			Moderate
	Effects target three elements of perception (an illusion that can be seen, heard, and felt)			Impressive
	Effects target four or more elements of perception (a nearly perfect illusion, or nearly complete undetectability)			Epic
	Effects target any conceivable combination of elements			Mythic


Omnessence Effect Levels and Cost Ranges

	Slight	1-3 Omnessence
	Moderate	4-6 Omnessence
	Impressive	10-20 Omnessence
	Epic	21-35 Omnessence
	Mythic	36-50 Omnessence


Scope

Form / State	Paradigm is affecting a State (default for Conjuration, Divination, Manipulation)		1
	Paradigm is affecting a Form (default for Creation, Destruction, Transformation)		3
Base Scope	Basic Range, Area, and Duration values		2
	Range	According to Origin / Paradigm	varies
	Area	According to Origin / Paradigm	varies
	Duration	According to Origin / Paradigm	varies
