And, even sans his Evocation Specialties, assuming well designed Foci Grevane's only gonna drop from a 9 to an 8 shift Evocater...so, while I might do that, you're still not gonna be happy with him. I'd assume that a lot of his non-Evocation has to do with keeping his Zombies up and going, not any weakness in the area.

I wouldn't give him any Evocation Foci, either. I just don't see the evidence that he uses it enough to want them.
(And I'd only give him -1 on Lawbreaker (First), too, as while he kills a lot of people I imagine he'd mostly do it by ordering his minions to kill them, not with his own magic.)

Thaumaturgy foci are fairly pointless, and he clearly lacks useful Enchanted Items...so my options for what to give him are a bit limited.

Ordering summoned creatures (which is technically what zombies are) to kill breaks the First Law. This is stated rather explicitly in Storm Front, when discussing Victor Sells use of a a demon assassin, if I remember correctly.
How I'd probably actually handle it in play is to have all his offensive Evocations channeled through a zombie, as he supercharges one of his minions and has it attack. No mechanical difference of course, just very thematic.

Then how does Binder avoid being chopped to bits by the Wardens ??
And Vic really had no need to break the Laws by proxy... he did pretty well on his own. Also, summoning the demon and binding it was probably enough to get him on the to-chop-list (hey, i kinda like this word *g*).

Then why isn't Binder a warlock? he obviously kills folks with his minions.

harry comments he knows the laws enough to skirt them without actually breaking any, hence the reason the wardens havent killed him.
