Two minds, but how? Ally? Compartmentalized Mind? Split Personality? Duplication?
Hey, all.
I know there are other threads out there like this, but hear me out. Trust me, I've checked a dozen of 'em, but none come close enough to what I want because my desired mechanics are different. This thread gave me the Alternate Form idea below. This thread and this thread talk about split personalities working together. Then, this thread talks about re-rolls vs flat bonuses. Background: A deity splits up the soul of man into mortal and spirit, giving them more perspective as well as the ability to use magic. Most undergo a rite of passage to be merge the spirit back into the mortal again and are seen as "awakened" (which I represent with Unusual Background (Awakened) [5], which is the reaction bonuses and illumination status that Illuminated gives) because most believe that merging makes you a whole greater than the sum of your parts (may be a Delusion). Although, others disagree and stay separated because they believe that two is better than one (also may be a Delusion). However, this is not a perfect synergy, and the spirit and the mortal can be forcefully re-separated under dire circumstances, but, of course, can recombine. So, as I've been typing this out, I have two new ideas, but I'll leave my original notes below so there's more to work from.

Re: Two minds, but how? Ally? Compartmentalized Mind? Split Personality? Duplication?
I was thinking about that, or I was thinking about Luck (Active), making it usable for more than just mental stuff, but requiring that the character declares that they're actively doing that beforehand. And is Costs Fatigue valid on Luck? Maybe it's a little stressful too. I'm not sure.

Re: Two minds?
Two minds without a single thought.
