Ragoneda

Ragoneda filia Elisa, follower of Tytalus

Ragoneda is described for 4th edition on pages 70-73 of Sanctuary of Ice. This page is an attempt to update her for 5th edition. Following the conversion guidelines in AM5, her age has been increased by 20%. Abilities and Arts were supposed to remain at their original level, but they were just too high. This writeup presumes she was apprenticed at 8 and competed her Gauntlet at 23, and has 44 years of experience. Her maximum Arts should therefore be around 21. Her Creo, Intellego and Corpus were reduced to suit.

Her current total to craft longevity rituals is 63 (+13), counting her bonus from her apprentice (+5).
