Rules Clarification

To clear up confusion as to how Karma is used in the game, FASA offers the following clarification.

All adepts, as well as some of the more powerful creatures of Earthdawn, can tap into the world's magical energy in order to enhance their magical abilities. This magical energy is called Karma, and its use is simulated through Karma Points and Karma dice. If an adept wishes to use Karma when attempting an action, he or she spends a Karma Point. This allows the player of the adept character to roll Karma dice in addition to the standard dice when performing the action. The result of the Karma dice roll is added to the result of the other dice rolled. Like all dice used in Earthdawn, Karma dice can be re-rolled as Bonus dice. Each of the Name-Giver races rolls a different type of dice when using Karma; these Karma dice are listed on the Karma Table, page 53 of the Earthdawn rulebook.

Adepts can only use Karma when performing actions using talents that are either Discipline talents or whose descriptions state that their use requires Karma. Discipline talents and talents requiring Karma are both described on page 95 of the Earthdawn rulebook. As they progress to higher Circles, adepts may use Karma on other specific types of actions, listed in the Discipline descriptions on pages 66-90 of the Earthdawn rulebook. Certain powerful creatures, such as dragons and most Horrors, can also use Karma. Their use of Karma is described in the Creatures section of the Earthdawn rulebook.
