Effects Of Grace on Powers
Your Grace score determines your Apocalyptic Form appearance (which is based on your Primary Lore) and yours Lores effects , every Apocalyptic Form or Lores Powers have two aspects a normal one and a Low-Grace one.
*Apocalyptic Form
There are two ways to evoke your Apocalyptic Form, spending a Faith point or roll their current Faith pool.
*Lores Evocation
You can spend an additional single point of Faith, before rolling the dice, to gain an automatic success and to choose which version of the power you will use (Unless your Grace is 3 or lower, in this case you'll always use the Low-Grace version of a power).
N.B. Every Character no matter how high is their Grace Score can willingly take the Low-Grace version of any power he knows. But if their Grace score is 4 or more they must roll a Grace check. Failing means they lose 1 dot of Grace permanently and may gain a derangement.
Grace 8-10: Characters with Grace so high always assume their normal version of their powers. They'll never use their Low-Grace versions unwilling.
Grace 4-7: Characters with a medium score in Grace are divided between their angelic and demon nature, they can assumes both version of their powers. If they spend a Faith point (before dice are rolled) they can decide which version to pick (regardless of the dice results), otherwise they follow this rules:
*Grace 7: with 2+ successess you choose which aspect you want
*Grace 6: with 3+ successess you choose which aspect you want
*Grace 5: with 4+ successess you choose which aspect you want
*Grace 4: with 5+ successess you choose which aspect you want
If you don't gather enough successess you MUST use the Low-Grace version of the power you rolled for (no Grace check is needed in this case).
Grace 0-3: Characters with such Low-Grace are all in all demons, they always assume their Low-Grace Apocalyptic Form and use the Low-Grace version of Lores Powers (no Grace check is needed in this case).
