The Astral Plane is a plane of pure thought.

The following effects apply on the plane:

• Mental attributes take the place of most physical attributes.
  • IQ is used in place of ST.
  • Will is used in place of DX.
  • HT is unaffected.
  • Secondary attributes and skills must be recalculated accordingly.
• Movement is based on thinking about where you want to go.
  • Move is Basic Move.
  • Flight doubles this, as usual.
  • There is also the option of taking an All-Out (Move) maneuver for triple speed.
• Breathing is unnecessary.
• There is no gravity.
• Astrally projected individuals are bound to their bodies by a silver cord.
  • Very few things can sever this.
• Abilities are affected in a number of ways.
  • The default Mana level is High, or if on the border, one level higher than normal.
  • Extradimensional spaces become inaccessible.
  • Abilities that transform or affect physical matter or space don't work, since neither of these really exist on the Astral.
  • Range of all spells is increased by 50%.
  • All mind-affecting abilities gain a -1 to resistance rolls.
  • The Illusion Advantage malfunctions on 8 or less on 3d, producing something random instead of the desired illusion.
    • The Mental Enhancement side-steps this and gains the -1 to resistance rolls for mind-affecting abilities.
  • Spells of the Wild college gain a +1 to activation rolls and get a -1 on rolls to resist them.
  • Spell-casting is addictive.
