Info

Book of Knots - Factions 98 contains a “dial-a-nuke” with a yield range of 10 Kt (kilotons) up to 5 Megatons. They would be invoked in the case of an unstoppable outbreak under the command of the President. This is known as “Sanction.” Playing a Puritan Operative Operatives are usually built on 75 to 100pts and have investigative and military skills. Most are Infected and have Proficient or Advanced level Mastery. Many have 4-8 AP (16-32pts) in Twists. Puritan is aware of, but does not employ, practicing magicians as standard Operatives. Playing a Puritan Agent A Puritan Agent can be anyone Puritan deems solid enough to trust with a degree of responsibility in the battle with Wonderland. Police officers, military personnel, and so on are all good possibilities. They may be 50- 75pts and will be capable characters.
Magicians In the human body where the blood fl ows into the brain there is a layer of endothelial cells which have gaps no larger than the smallest of molecules between them. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sugars can pass but almost no drug, no bacteria, almost nothing else can penetrate it. This wall, called the blood-brain barrier protects us from the chemical chaos in our own bodies. It is the same wall, of a metaphysical sort, that screens the perceptions and thoughts of our Shadows from our own consciousness. It is called The Egg. If The Egg did not exist the visions, sounds, and sensations of the lower realities would come fl ooding into our minds. We would be Infected. We might go insane. The Egg is many things but it is not absolute. When you feel a haunted chill in an empty room it may be because your Shadow is seeing things that you can’t. An instant dislike of someone? Your Shadow sees the “true person” in their own Shadow and you feel that faint echo. The Magician in JAGS Wonderland Magicians are usually fairly advanced characters: the modern magician is “stereotypically” not Infected with anything worse than Aleph (although PC Magicians, we think, most commonly will be). Their magical training will allow them to do and know certain things about Wonderland that even many experienced Infecteds will not. It will give them some abilities, if they are Infected, that will rival some of the Twisted’s (and, of course, a Magician may be both Infected and Twisted, combining the abilities). It is even possible that some PCs will be Hunger Disciples—the usually deranged predators of the Invisible World. The GM will need to decide what role Magicians will play in the game: they may be forces in the shadows that know things but rarely do things. They may be a force that is seeking to explore and exploit Wonderland for their own purposes—but they’re rarely involved in mundane affairs. There might be a whole party composed of Magicians—or Magician trainees—that is seeking to approach Wonderland on their terms. It is our experience that Infected Magicians (either intentionally or accidentally) make for more involved characters than those who practice their craft but are extremely careful never to come in actual contact with the subjects of their work. 99 Book of Knots - Magicians
