Default Re: Awe Question

I was just assuming that we had all already established that as the manual states, the base for Awe is 10. So in this case, referring to Awe+DRN means: 10 + (Awe bonus) + DRN.

I think that the interesting part of Virtue (besides starting with high Awe, and having StartDom of 4, for a combatant pretender) is that you could theoretically skimp on the dominion score, and roll those points into boosting her to D5. Having Fear+0 and Awe+4 may in most cases be as effective as Awe+7 without the Fear, and would give you more late game tactical options, though it costs more points (she is SO expensive to add paths to). The point to bear in mind with that, is there is -no- reason to go Dom9 with Virtue, since the difference between Awe+4 and Awe+5 is fairly slight, so you are only comparing your point cost against Dom10, which even starting at 4, nets you a lot of points if you gimp down to Dom6 or something in order to get more magic.
