New Ennico sheet is up. Think that should do us. Any suggestions or requests guys?

Re BotBM - how would the new version compare to the charm that follows on from Excellencies and basically gives a scene-long mote cost reduction? I forget its name, which is unhelpful, but hopefully someone knows which one I mean.
I may be wrong, but it seems like they'll have very similar effects in practice, so might be useful to compare them.

Advantages of modified BotBM: compatible with 4th excellency, no combos required for extra dice+other effects
Advantages of Propitious MA alignment: cheaper than BotBM (especially with Sword College)
Propitious MA Alignment means you get a mote cost reduction on MA excellencies, whereas BotBM means you don't have to use excellencies at all - thus removing pesky combo problems. Also, BotBM is compatible with the 4th Excellency, whereas the Propitious Ability Alignment charms specifically aren't.
BotBM kicks PMAA's ass even with the modification, except if you have the Sword College - which reduces the cost of reducing the cost of excellencies, if you see what I mean. For example, if you have Essence 4 and the Sword 5 you can spend 3m, 1wp rather than 8m, 1wp to reduce the cost of your excellencies by 4m for the scene. This is great if you're only going to use excellencies for the whole scene, otherwise BotBM is better. Oh, and PMAA costs 1 less willpower than BotBM. (I think I've convinced myself that BotBM should still cost 2wp)
So I guess you'd use PMAA if you a) had the Sword College and b) were going to fight a bunch of mortals, and you'd use BotBM if you came up against anything tough.

I actually looked this up the other fay for the same purpose and was going to post a similar argument to try and explain why I felt BotBM should still cost 2wp. but is seems i have been pre-empted.  |

Ok. So overall we acknowledge that (our modified) BotBM is more powerful than the existing alternative, but that its increased cost is sufficient to justify that. Sounds fair.

*Bump*
But also, have updated the xp thread and the first post of this one to reflect current situation on new characters replacing those that have died.
I would also like to welcome Ledaal Takezo to the roster of S/PI/007 and salute the valiant death of Icaron Dromedae, Chosen of Mercury.

Following some discussions last night (partly motivated from discussions in other threads), I am announcing a new house rule on stunts, namely that the maximum xp that can be gained from 3-dicers will be limited to 2 per session.
JD and LH have both agreed that this can apply retroactively to their characters.
