Question/Thought about sponsored magic
Saedar:
@SoulCatcher78: But by that logic, you could consider that Gard, being technically one of (click to show/hide)Marcone's people would be protected from Warden-based justice through his being (click to show/hide)a Signatory to the Accords.
I love this... Why oh why did I not join sooner....?

(click to show/hide)Sigurn (sp?) is a member of Monoc securities whose CEO is also a freeholding Lord and signatory not to mention her "Chooser" title and affinity for Wagner I would say that she is considered "outside" the Laws of Magic.
The Laws (and enforcement of them) seems to be limited to mortal practitioners as far as I can tell. Magic using beings who are not considered human do not fall into the Wardens area of responsibility (they might not like it but unless these beings confront them directly, I doubt that a Warden would try to stop them).
Saedar:
Good point. I keep forgetting about the Valkyrie issue.
On a related issue to my OP, how would you handle a (PC) non-human Emissary/Scion/Champion/Something of Lucifer tossing around power of a distinctly hellish nature but not on the level of, say, the Denarians?
srl51676:
it would all depend on the source of power and the nature of the character. I would say humans not protected by a patron who is a signatory of the accords are by default under the preview of the council. If for no other reason than no one is going to stop the wardens and they see it as their duty. As there is not "Spirit" of the accords anyone not specifically protected is fair game to any power willing to attempt to exert control. If lucifer in your game is a signatory, which he must be the guy loves a contract, then any agent of his "mortal" or otherwise would be outside of the wardens jurisdiction in their law enforcement capacity. This does not mean that if you are messing with mortals they would not drop the heavy end of the hammer on you in their capacity as protectors of humanity just like they would a rouge demon or a rampaging troll. The cops do not arrest rabid dogs when they attack they just shoot them.

Great explanation. Consider it stolen.
