Paradox effects
1. If a ten is rolled on a Paradox die, add 1 to the Permanent paradox pool.
2. If a ten is rolled on a Paradox die as part of a crit (2 tens or more) it's a Paradox crit. The ST describes how the spell worked too hard, and the player's permanent Paradox discharges.
3. If a 1 is rolled on a Paradox die and the total roll fails, the spell fails and Permanent paradox discharges.
Paradox backlash ranges in severity based on the size of your pool. At lower levels it could be willpower or superficial health damage. At medium levels (3 - 7) it's a temporary effect such as a second head, a paradox spirit that fucks with you, or taking damage every time a player at the table swears. At high levels, the effect can be a powerful paradox spirit that attacks you, aggravated health and willpower damage or being shunted into a Paradox dimension.
Tell me what you think, find problems.
You might want to (quietly, separately) track the spheres they use to acquire their paradox, if it's feasible to do so. That would allow you to make the backlash thematic.
Also are you using resonance? (I've been assuming this is Ascension)
I'm not using resonance, but I am porting over Wisdom from Awakening as a Humanity type stat. I'm also using Convictions & Touchstones from V5.
The players are starting with six dots in spheres so tracking how they acquire their paradox should be easy. I'm going to have to take a lot of notes generally because one of the players can fucking turn the turn counter back if they want to.
I wish we were in the studio for this because one time based paradox I thought of was to have the player's talkback play their own voice back with a half a second delay, which makes it extremely difficult to concentrate on what you're saying.
Oh, one thing I forgot is that they can use Quintessence (mana) to reduce the difficulty of the spell roll. You only have 3 mana to start with (your arete rating) so it's not trivial to do.
Another thing I'm considering: given that the typical dice pool for a spell is going to be 7 dice, is it too easy?

How is the "focus skill" determined?
You select a skill at character creation, which means you're likely to make it your best skill for four dots. For an Ashkayana it might be brawl, for a Virtual Adept it's likely to be technology etc. The idea is that you're taking your mundane skill and infusing it with Arete to make the effect. For a fully improvised Oh Shit spell you can roll your Arete alone which is only 3 dice.

I considered that a lot but decided against it, because I suspect they'll try and play pretty conservatively and I want those paradox dice to be extremely tempting. Arete 3 would give them 3 reaches per cast which is likely enough for them to never have to accumulate paradox.

Yeah, if I were gonna do free reach with something like this, I’d probably give them out based on sphere rank versus base effect rank in order to keep Paradox attractive and keep Arete from being too powerful. So if, say, the spell called for Life 2 and the PC has Life 3 they might get 1 free reach.
It's not clear if Paradox dice straight up add extra dice to the pool, or swap out for non-Pdice, or if it's different rules for Temp vs Perm Paradox dice.

They replace dice in the pool. So if you have a two permanent paradox, three temporary paradox and a dice pool of 7, you roll 5 paradox dice and two regular dice

The maximum paradox dice in your pool is always your maximum dice pool, but if you're rolling all paradox dice on an 8 die pool a discharge is going to fuck you up extremely hard and possibly cause your death and possibly erase you from existence.

I keep forgetting to type up what's been going on in the Aussie forumers online Mage The Awakening campaign, and here I am remembering at 1am right as I am going to bed.
I promise I'll try and do so this weekend! The most recent arc has been really great and is solidifying the PCs together from a loose band who were given a job together to an actual cabal who care about each other and want to work together for a common goal (and also their own personal goals) and I am loving that.
Also @Kincaid nearly died and now has a semi-sentient murder dagger made of obsidian, @Lalabox has discovered that even when they don't get to be a punch mage their spells can prove ridiculously useful (and when they do punch, they're a cruise missile), @Butler broke a very nasty mage's leg so badly that it knocked her right out from shock (think Bethesda game level ragdoll physics on someone's leg), and @Awko is proving to be incredibly lucky not only due to Fate magic but also just me rolling hilariously badly when trying to hit him with stuff behind the scenes and I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT
I don't think you can have traditional fantasy mimics of living creatures, that's like the whole thing with mimics! The ladies are either mimic ranchers or wooden decoy old ladies, which then might be mimics.

Once in D&D3E I built a whole town using every variety of monster that disguises itself as something innocuous, including catacombs below the old church for those critters that were dungeon-exclusive.
The players responded to it by diverting a river and flooding the town.

Ah yes, the medieval equivalent of "nuke it from orbit."
Finished a session earlier and at the end we snuck into some catacombs and there was 12 cultists and two cultist leaders farting around with some big sealed door. So our sorcerer/bard lets loose with a fireball before anyone can say anything, killing 11 of the cultists in a single go. We all roll initiative, and his is highest, so he throws another fireball killing the remaining cultist and nearly killing the two leaders. So I finished one off with my ranger's longbow (she normally closes to melee and uses her dual battle axes), and our monk ran the 120 feet across the room and punched the last one into paste. They never even got a chance to react, just two fireballs thrown into the room, an arrow, and an elephant man exploding the last one with his fists. It was amazing lol
