Promethean Resistance

The Promethean Resistance is an unstructured and unorganized collaboration of individuals who share an interest in magic and occultism. Most members believe magic to be a kind of “lost knowledge” that may someday be recovered, but only a few are aware of the history or actuality of magic. A few of the members are wealthy or well-positioned so as to provide limited resources and assistance.

The Prometheans as Patron

The Resistance is less useful than its power level would suggest. On a successful appearance roll, the GM makes a reaction roll to determine whether the Resistance actually provides aid (see Requests for Aid, B562). On a Neutral or better reaction, you receive aid the Resistance thinks you need – which may or may not be what you want.

Likewise, the Resistance works behind the scenes. You do not know any actual members of the Resistance, and you cannot request aid directly. You may be able to call for help through one of the friends of the Prometheans, but there is no guarantee that the Resistance will take action. The aid may take the form of information, equipment, or even direct assistance . . . but only when it suits the Resistance, and always in an untraceable way.
