Hey, folks,
So, to my understanding, as I've read the rules PDF, Masters now costs soul stones and Totems don't cost anything at all, assuming their specific Master is the Leader of the crew.
That being true, seems like either crews will have far fewer soul stones to use in a game or crews will be smaller on average, or possibly both.
If I have Pandora, Poltergeist, Candy, Baby Kade, Teddy, and 2 Sorrows, that's 50 ss right there. Wow. Used to be I could get all that for less than 45 and even get 3 ss in a cache just for having Pandora. But don't get me wrong... I'm fine with it! I guess it's been a while since I played (early M2E,), because it just seems like I had a good bit of ss left over or another model in the crew with an Upgrade or two spread around. It'll be something to get used to.
