Character Creation for Vortigern (OOC)

[Arthur]

@Vortigern

I was thinking of this when I was describing what I would be trying to do. My takeaway from this and the descriptions of the grounds in other places was that there were multiple underground passages under the Covenant that were securely chokepointed / controlled for entry at the double doors that lead deeper underground into the more dangerous tunnels and a higher aura / regio the mysteries of which are not understood. That these underground passages had different/various entrances/exits which were undefined.

You are correct, sorry for my mistake. There is indeed a possibility that one of such entrances would be located in a tower where Vorsutus would have his sanctum.

@Vortigern

How much of an additional mundane capacity would be necessary to eliminate the shortfall?

It is impossible to completely eliminate it, by design. Due to the magical nature of the covenant and its aura, any improvement on an area that is not constantly in use will "migrate" to another part of the covenant.

But your characters may try anyway.

During the early stages of covenant design, one of the players suggested that the covenant could be in the spirit of Gormenghast. Everyone loved the idea and we went that way. That part of the discussion starts there.

Think this (if somewhat smaller):

@Vortigern

How large is the Manor/Grounds re: a Structure Target? Size bumps required if you wanted to affect the whole thing?

The confused nature of the buildings, some linked to each others and some not, mean that the whole covenant cannot be affected by a single T:Structure spell. Even affecting most of the primary structure, with all its wings and associated constructions, would probably require two or three additional magnitudes in Size. And it would probably still leave a few pockets of unaffected areas.
