Default Re: Magnifying disturbance

Hmmm ... if the time comes to GM myself, I may just have to try out a house rule.

Dramatic Echoes: When a celestial creates disturbance, echoes are determined by the "scene of the action." A Malakite killing a second human in a park just after dispatching a first one in the same battle re-echoes the noise as in canon; but a Mercurian who's in a house across the street using Divine Destiny to puzzle out someone's future is part of a different "scene" and creates only the usual small whisper in the Symphony. This will often require a GM call as to what disturbances are or aren't part of a particular scene!

Duration of the disturbance and echoes remains the same as in canon, as does the range at which the disturbance is heard. This means it's quite possible for a celestial to hear a Symphonic noise without adding to it personally.
