Your current temporary willpower is recorded in a thread in your character sheet forum.
Spending Willpower:
For record keeping purposes willpower spends takes place on the day you send in the spend, not the day the thread started.
Regaining Willpower:
Each week on Sunday characters regain a single point of temporary willpower. Characters may also regain a point of temporary willpower once per thread in which they fulfill their natures. For record keeping purposes willpower regains take place on the day you sent them in, not the day the thread started. Even if you fulfill both your natures with the Dual Nature merit you may only regain one temporary willpower per thread. If you feel your character has fulfilled their nature in a thread, PM your clan ST with a link to the thread (or relevant page thereof) and a brief explanation. Only your Clan ST will handle nature willpower, to avoid double counting. Temporary willpower can not exceed permanent willpower.
Willpower Caps:
Freebies may not be used to purchase willpower past 7. A player may choose to raise their willpower past 7 at character creation, but must use experience points awarded to them by staff for back story.
Using experience, players may purchase willpower up to 10. Some disciplines use a target's willpower as difficulty. To deal with botching probabilities, difficulty for use of these disciplines may never exceed 9. All difficulty modifiers are taken into consideration before this rule is applied. Willpower 10 functions in all other ways as 10 willpower, such as for thaumaturgy pools, available temporary willpower, and resisting the Blood Oath. When rolled to resist a power and not as a difficulty, willpower 10 provides 10 dice.
Examples:
The difficulty for Entrancement if the target's willpower. Alexander has willpower 10. If Mary attempts to entrance Alexander, the difficulty would be 10, so it is reduced to 9.
If Anna has Discipline Prodigy Presence she receives a -1 to the difficulty of her Presence rolls. Thus the difficulty for Entrancement is Alexander's willpower -1. Alexander has willpower 10. If Mary attempts to entrance Alexander, the difficulty would be 10 - 1 = 9. This is an appropriate difficulty, and will not be adjusted.
If Anna has has Enchanting voice, she receives a -2 difficulty to Entrancement if speaking with Alexander. Thus the difficulty for Entrancement is Alexander's willpower -2. Alexander has willpower 10. If Mary attempts to entrance Alexander, the difficulty would be 10 - 2 = 8. This is an appropriate difficulty, and will not be adjusted.
