Ok, this is what we did and it seems to be working well:

This information is based off the Awaken feats by Cyberdave from:
http://forums.white-wolf.com/cs/forums/p/5573/115180.aspx


Conviction:
Awaken characters start with 10 + the Creeds, "bonus ability stat point modifier", of Conviction. A character can regenerate 10% of their conviction with 1 hour of rest, but after 8 hour of rest the conviction pool will be at 100%.
An Awaken can also regain points of Conviction by using the "Risk Conviction" Edge.

Awaken Creeds:
At first level the Awaken character can pick one of the following groups to belong to.

Defender's Creed
You have begun to develop a creed based on the principle of belief that it is your job, as an Awakened, to defend the innocent and helpless against harm from supernatural powers.

With this ability the Awakened can restore lost hit points with a single touch to any natural creatures (this includes other Awakened and Mages). If used against a supernatural creature (including Demons, Vampires, and Werewolves) this ability instead deals energy damage (and usually requires a touch attack). The Awakened may cure or deal a number of points of damage 1d8 + Wisdom bonus per point of Conviction spent.

Awaken Edges:
An Edge is bought as a feat.

If the roll fails, the risked points are spent and the Edge fails to activate. Also, the Awaken will lose 1 point of Constitution for each point of Conviction spent.
If the roll is successful, the Awakened not only adds the extra Conviction Points to an Edge's power, the Conviction points are not spent.

You can channel your conviction to gain protection from damage to your abilities or life force caused by supernatural effects.

All Awaken get a power pool called "Conviction", kind of like the vampires vitae.

An Awaken can also regain points of Conviction by using the "Risk Conviction" Edge.

Then all Awaken will choose a "Creed", kind of like the vampire clans. In the case of Rotes you chose the "Gifted Creed"

Gifted Creed

Prerequisite: Awakened
Benefit: You gain the ability to learn and cast Rote spells as Edges. You can use 1 point of Conviction for 10 Componted points. You also gain the "Awaken Gnosis" Edge, (see below).

Drawback: Channeling magic through the body with this alternative method can have a draining side effect.
If the Awaken fails his Spellcraft check, the Awaken will add 1 point of Exhaustion for each point of Conviction spent.

Then Awaken can by Edges as feats to for an enhancement and/or special ability. Like the following:

Awaken Gnosis [Edge]
