To start, she becomes aware of a number of
faults in the object equal to her proficiency
in the Ash Philosophy. These faults may
hinder performance or outright break the
object, and Sense the Faults makes her
aware of what causes the fault and how the
fault could be used to damage the object.
In addition, the successes rolled on
Sense the Faults form a pool of free dice
which can be distributed amongst further
Ash Philosophy uses against the same object.
These dice are temporary, which means
they’re used up when they’re added to a roll.
All the dice in the free pool expire at the end
of a scene, or if the Ash Philosophy is
applied against another object.

Dramatic Failure: The Ash Dragon
misinterprets the nature of a fault, be it by
position or nature. If she tries to exploit said
fault, something bad will happen (as it isn’t
actually what she thought it was). Further
Ash uses against the object suffer a -5
penalty until the Dragon uses Sense the
Faults again.
Failure: No faults are detected, though that
doesn’t mean there aren’t any. The Ash
Dragon cannot use higher levels of the Ash
Philosophy until she succeeds on this one.
Success: Even if something seems
absolutely perfect and unbreakable, there is
ALWAYS a flaw. It could be a design
problem. It could be a material impurity. It
could be something the Dragon’s force of
will plants in the object. Regardless, the
Dragon becomes aware of the object’s flaws
and is free to exploit them. Also, the
successes turn into free pool dice for Ash
uses.
Exceptional Success: Besides the massive
free pool for Ash, there is no additional
benefit.

Artifact Artifact Rating?
Rating?
Mystical items, such as a Graft, are
possessed of a rating that sets their Merit
cost. This Merit rating gives them an
added degree of protection against a
Dragon’s power of Destruction (in the
case of Ash, it is applied as a penalty to
dice pools). Whenever a dice pool
involves Artifact Rating, it is referring to
the Merit Cost of a mystic item that is
being targeted by the Philosophy.
The Dragon takes control of the fault,
bringing it to the foregrounds and causing it
to interfere with all normal functions. The
object inflicts a penalty against users equal
to the Dragon’s Ash rating, for a number of
turns equal to the successes rolled.
If the object is in the process of
functioning, it must roll Durability –
Dragon’s Ash Rating and succeed or it
instantly stops working.

Dramatic Failure: The Ash Dragon
inadvertently fixes the fault, granting all
users a +2 bonus with the object. That same
fault cannot be plied again, and the Dragon
cannot continue to the next level of Ash
until she succeeds in intensifying the fault.
Failure: Despite her best efforts, the fault
does not trigger a malfunction. The Ash
Dragon cannot use higher levels of the Ash
Philosophy until she succeeds on this one.
Success: The fault in the object is brought to
the forefront, inflicting a penalty for use
equal to the Dragon’s proficiency in Ash for
a number of turns equal to the successes
rolled. If the object was in the process of
functioning (Like say, a computer running a
