There's a word for standoffish anarchists in the Dresdenverse:
Food.
;)
I would say our system actually sits at the midpoint between the two extremes you're talking about, Chuck.

I'm surprised Harry only has Fair investigations.
Is Conviction the equivalent of SotC's Resolve, or is Resolve also in DFRPG?
Also, typical SotC heroes start out with 5 boxes of stress. Harry has 4/4/3. Is there a formula reached for that, or is it just something innate to the DFRPG?

Discipline governs the amount of control you have over that power. Harry... is a little sloppy in this department. That's why he favors Thaumaturgy if he can do it: because it's slower and more deliberate, his lack of control doesn't bite him on the butt so much.

If I understand correctly, this is also why Harry is using focus items. It's granting +1 to Offensive Con(trol).
And why he prefers Thamutergy; +1 Control (Divination)?

Mostly he cheats: he whips up a Divination spell. He does have some strong mundane investigative skills, though, which is why he has a rating two steps above Joe Shmoe.

There's not a straight one to one correspondence there, though some of the trappings of Resolve are also found with Conviction. Resolve does not exist as Resolve in the DFRPG.

DFRPG heroes start out with 2.

Those make clear how he's using his foci to help make up for a few shortcomings in the methods that he tends to prefer.
Rechan:
Say. This whole issue of Power/Control/Complexity. Might that be related to Shifts? (Since with Shifts you can either make it quicker, higher quality, or subtle).

Hm. Then what does one use to defend in some mental/social conflicts? Resolve was useful against Charming, Deceiving and Scaring.

Yikes! Then, does Harry having a high Conviction and Endurance give him more, or might that be Wizard's Constitution?
