[UA] Wraith/UA crossover

There's a sorta-kinda answer in the works, if it doesn't get edited out...

>2. Are there societies of supernatural beings (e.g. Revenants,

The idea that there are separate Avatar and Adept undergrounds (though with
substantial overlap) is touched on in UA2.  A club of Unspeakable Servants
would be pretty cool though...

>3. What is the nature of the Invisible Clergy? What lies behind the

This is, I suspect, one of those situations where answering the question
can't have a better effect than leaving it unanswered.  To ME, anyhow.  In
your own campaign, go nuts.  (And, since we're leaving it nice and vague,
you can go nuts without worrying about have to ret-con every supplement you
buy...)

If you want to totally Wraith out with it, you could use hard marks as
roadblocks to getting pathos (the more hardened and less empathetic you
are, the harder it is to steal emotion from the living) and use failed
marks as bonuses to the Shadow.  (That is, the more unbalanced you are, the
more powerful the splintered and rejected elements of your personality
become.)

As it turns out, my memory is far less detail-oriented than my imagination.
