"Rule of Nature: When you inflict violence with an action, if you roll 6, 6 or better the action inflicts 1 more slash on any talismans and you regain 1 psyche burst."
is it supposed to say "5, 6 or better"? Under the Beast Agenda.
My table is a bit confused about Blast when used by an Ardence. Blast says that its strength scales with CAT. Ardence’s passive lets them increase the CAT of their powers by 2.
Does this mean anything special for Blast, like it does 2 extra slashes, since “its strength scales with CAT”?
bonus question: The Category chart says using higher/lower CAT effects is more/less effective. If I use a CAT 2 power on a CAT 1 Sin, should it get a +1D or what? What about +2D if jt’s CAT 3 vs 1?
I'm kind of confused by the awarding of xp for fulfilling agenda items. Do you get 2 xp if you fulfill both items in one session? As is that even possible for agendas like Beast where they have to hold back AND get into a fight?
You get XP for following the unbolded agenda item. You also gain 1 XP for following any one bolded agenda item. You also gain 1 xp for following any two+ bolded agenda items.
All three give you XP separately, so you can get up to 3 if you fulfill all three (the first bolded you do counts for both the last two).
control. The effects of this are noted in each sin’s
pressure description.
And here it should probably be "increases" instead of "increass". Sorry if this isn't the place to post it (I can delete these if so); I'm just posting feedback asap after buying it.
Found some issues. The first one is on page 11 or page 6 (Right) has "it" next to the if, the second one is on page 26 or page 14 (Left) is missing the word "to" and the letter "s" at the end of character, the third one is on page 52 or 27 (Left) has the words "hand motions" mixed up, and the fourth one is on page 64 or page 33 (Left) is a pdf error.
I would appreciate a better place to put these if you have one.
Urban Fantasy perfection! I only hope we can see it balanced and a few more games for freaks volumes. But otherwise the fans have got this going. Thanks Tom.
I bought the game and all my friends are gonna play digital, i saw somewhere that i have to ask permission to share the game file so would i be able to share it and or be allowed too? if not is there something else i can do instead?
Does there happen to be a place I can access the update notes text file from 1.1? I am using the 1.2 text notes to trace through the changes in the new book, but I never looked at the 1.1 changes. (By the way the 1.2 changes are very cool, I cannot wait to "accidentally" blow up my friends with Fury)

Double sixes, so if you roll a dice pool and get multiple sixes, it activates

Inner Furnace only affects powers you get from Ardence. Blast is a default blasphemy, so it doesn't count as an Ardence power.
is there a print friendly version?
I saw that there are a few ablities that referince "as the hour passes" what does that mean?
should be 'when pressure increases'

Page 31 of 1.2: It reads:
I believe it should be "excess", not "access".
And here it should probably be "increases" instead of "increass". Sorry if this isn't the place to post it (I can delete these if so); I'm just posting feedback asap after buying it.
Page 46. I think it's missing an "it" between "though" and "doesn't".
Page 51, shady lender should say "once" instead of "one", I think.
I know this may not be the case but it kinda reminds me of jujutsu kaisen. Just from the main page pictures alone.

I love CAIN, but it has so many little typos and grammar mistakes like this... Hope we can get an update correcting some of it!
I hope that there's a better spot to post these though. It's a great ttrpg, and I don't want to be the reason why others don't try it out.
The discord probably has a spot for those, though IDK, Im not in it.
thanks!

actually the best ttrpg fucking ever holy guacamole
Fr. D&D should take notes.
This is the pinnacle of rpg design. Is there any possibility we will get a physical book?
I need a CAIN comic now Abbadon. You can't keep doing this to me!
Please make the 1.2 CAINsheet editable!
I want to be able to write on it
Hi! We have a community made editable Character Sheet !

100% compatible with the official sheet :3

Hello, I am thinking of printing CAIN but books are kinda hard to update. Is the game nearing something like a final update?
no
