 *'''Defense''' is the lower of your Dexterity or Wits, and is normally subtracted from any attack pool being used. If actively dodging, Defense is instead rolled and any successes subtract from the attacker's successes.
-*'''Initiative''' determines order in combat and is calculated by Dexterity + Composure. Weapons may also modify Initiative.
+*'''Initiative''' determines order in combat and is calculated by Dexterity + Composure. Weapons may also modify Initiative. When entering combat, you determine turn order by rolling 1d10 + Initiative + Equipment (if weapon readied).
 *'''Size''' determines your Health, and varies on species. An adult human has a size of 5.
 *'''Speed''' is how far you can move in yards in a single turn. It is equal to Strength + Dexterity + (species modifier). An adult human has a species modifier of 5.

Normally, one point of bashing heals in 15 minutes, one point of lethal heals in 1 day, and aggravated damage takes 1 week to heal.

-You have both '''Willpower''' dots that are permanent and Boxes that are checked off as you spend Willpower. You may only spend 1 Willpower per turn.

 '''Paradoxes''' are the potent, negative consequence of casting a vulgar (i.e. not covert) spell. A paradox may also result from covert spells if Sleeper onlookers believe that the result of the spell is sufficiently improbable. The base paradox dice roll pool is determined by Gnosis, see the above table for details. You may gain a +1 bonus for each paradox roll made after the first in a scene, or per day for extended rolls. The roll is at a -1 penalty if the spell is a rote (i.e. not Improvised), or if you're using a magical tool during the casting. There is a +2 bonus to the paradox roll if the vulgar spell is witnessed by onlooking Sleepers. Dramatic failure on the paradox roll means the mage doesn't invoke the stacking +1 bonus to subsequent paradox rolls in the scene or day for extended spells. Failure on the paradox roll means no paradox has occurred. The number of successes determines the type of paradox:
-*1 success: Havoc. The spell randomly affects a randomly chosen target (with the caster included in the pool of candidates) instead of the intended target. You also roll wisdom: On a failure, the spell has the opposite of the intended effect (e.g. a perception spell blinds you). A success means the spell functions normally on the new target. An exceptional success means the gains a +2 bonus to dispel the spell cast by Havoc.
+*1 success: Havoc. The spell randomly affects a randomly chosen target (with the caster included in the pool of candidates) instead of the intended target. You also roll wisdom: On a failure, the spell has the opposite of the intended effect (e.g. a perception spell blinds you). A success means the spell functions normally on the new target. An exceptional success means the casting mage gains a +2 bonus to dispel the spell cast by Havoc.
 *2 successes: Bedlam. You gain a derangement automatically. It is a mild derangement if the primary Arcanum used by the spell that invoked a paradox is 3 or less, and it is a severe derangement if it is 4 or more. You also roll wisdom, and afflict one other actor in the scene chosen at random with the same derangement. A dramatic failure means one other actor per dot of the casting mage's Presence is affected, but may resist by succeeding in a Resolve + Composure check. On successes, only the mage is affected.
 *3 successes: Anomaly. This causes a semi-natural effect on the location depending on the mage's tower. See pg. 271-272 for full details.

-'''Mana''' is what power's a mage's spells. Rote spells have their mana cost listed, if any. Improvised Spells always cost 1 mana, unless the primary Arcanum is one of your Path's Arcana. Casting a spell outside of your sensory range requires an additional point of mana be spent. If a spell can deal aggravated damage, a mage must spend an additional point of mana to upgrade the damage to aggravated. If a spell demands more mana than you can spend per turn, you must use additional, consecutive turns to cast the spell. You may spend three mana per bashing/lethal wound to heal the wound. Mana also has the following qualities:

This takes a full turn where you can only also move your speed. You may only degrade your attributes in accordance with the Gnosis chart, but Scouring and Restoration limits are tracked separately.
