The whole magic as corruption, whether external or internal, is my biggest hang-up that prevents me from jumping on board the SotS hype train. That body horror/corruption aspect is also triggering for a few of my occasional players while the mental/psychological corruption is also triggering for a few. Are there alternative magic systems in place?Wacky. I clicked to talk about SotS. Its fantastic and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about recommending it. Probably my favorite Char Gen, and the setting and rules are enormously awesome. I don't gush much, but I'll gush about SotS.
