Brew:Rules/Unisystem/Main
The series will use Cinematic Unisystem with some additional materials from classic Unisystem (mostly forms of magic). When multiple sources are involved, use the Ghosts of Albion version, unless ruled otherwise on this page.
See list of all Rules pages at the bottom of the page.

Qualities and Drawbacks
Modified
These are qualities and drawbacks that are modified.
- Demon packages won't be "demons" but have another mystic origin. Discuss with Randy.
- Hypnosis (from Angel), use Mesmerize from Ghosts of Albion instead.
- Minority, use Angel version (not Ghosts of Albion)
- Physical Disability, use Angel version (not Ghosts of Albion)
- Resources, use Angel version (not Ghosts of Albion)
Magic interacts poorly with modern technology. As such, some qualities (such as the Magic Quality) will have unknown reactions with modern technology.
Banned
These are qualities/drawbacks that are not permitted for player use in the campaign due to flavor or balance reasons.
- Flight
- Ghost
- Invisible
- Peeler (not campaign flavor, use cop/detective instead)

- Summoning
- Revenant
- Vampire
