How do Domain Miracles relate to other Miracles?

  • A Domain Miracle represents a single command, but effects from multiple Miracle Levels can be used together, as long as those effects are the components of a single command. [p306]

  • You can perform Domain Miracles alongside sustained Aspect Miracles (or vice versa) to wield their effects with supernatural prowess. [p305]

How else does Domain affect a character?

  • A character’s maximum level of Divine Mantle is equal to the level of their Domain trait. [p317]

Can a character have multiple Estates?

  • Yes, while rare, a character may divide Domain points among multiple different Estates. [p187]
    • All Estates share the same pool of Domain MP.
    • Each Domain rating must be at least level 1.
    • The Domain rating of each “secondary” Estate must be equal or less than that of the “primary” Estate.

  • Taking a secondary Estate of “things of my Chancel” is a common way to increase a character’s power inside their Chancel. [p246]

  • Imperators always have multiple Estates, using almost the same rules. [p260]
    • The only difference is that they are allowed to have Domain and Persona level 0 for their Estates.

Can characters other than Powers have Estates?

  • An Imperator has the Estates of all of their Powers. [p260]

  • An Erus lives in a Chancel and has a pseudo-Estate of “things of the Chancel”. [p245]

  • A Deceiver typically has a self-referential pseudo-Estate, but uses only Persona, and not Domain [p278].

  • A Warmain typically has a pseudo-Estate of the mechanism of their test, but uses only Domain, and not Persona [p283].

  • A Mimic uses the same rules as Imperators for having multiple Estates [p287].
