On the update this week we announced completing the foundation for entities. But I'm worried that the scope of the achievement is lost, if you don't have all the details. So that's what I want to do here, I want to fill you in on how we filled in the Entity Foundation.
In stripped down terms; an Entity is a Advantage bank, that can be setup by one or several people. They can put in and take out Advantages, a certain amount of times per arc. The Bigger the Entity the more Advantages it has and the more times you can pull resources from it.
Now how is this a Boon? First it takes XP to turn temporary Advantages permanent. Permanent means when used they replenish after a certain amount of time. Second Entities gain their own XP. Specifically 1 for every 4 XP that the Head and Administrators gain. This means you can have the Entity spend XP to Permanent the Advantages, borrow the Advantages from the Entity and save you XP for more character specific things. Is there a catch? OF course there's a catch! The catch is an Entity isn't invincible. It needs maintenance, it can be raided and it can be taken away (not easily but possible). It's a Risk Reward situation and I think it's a great tool for Players and GMs alike!
