I know that. But the more complexity you have, the more chance you have to fail. Assuming Mort does one shift at a time, he fails that ritual about 3 times in 5. And he didn't have time for both tags to reroll and to pull off that ritual. Harry had walked in about 2 seconds (well, minutes) earlier.

Uh...he probably had at least 3 FP by then. If you don't think he got Compelled on something to help Harry...I strongly disagree. That's more than enough, especially if making additional Declarations by casting.

Or it wasn't quite that big a spell (I wouldn't have it be...more like 5-8 at most) or it wasn't a spell at all (it struck me as a Contacts roll).

Solution: Threesome?


Anyway, I've updated one of Marcone's Aspects based on Even Hand. Versions of Bob and Sir Stu still coming...I've just been busy.

Oh, god. Where's mrs.duck when you want to throw her into an abyssal rift so that she never ever hears the phrase, "Eldest Gruff/Leanansidhe/Sir Stu Threesome".

Harry/Mavra was bad enough.

Hey Deadman, suggestion:

I'd actually move Morgan's ZEALOTRY aspect to his Trouble. It drives him and has definitely complicated his life.

I'd argue that several of his Aspects are equally troublesome...which is one reason I didn't specify his Trouble. I couldn't pick just one.  :)

But ZEALOTRY drives him... And nearly ended the world. Literally. See Summer Knight.

Also, why not include Listens-to-Wind spell casting in his Modular Abilities? It's not like we see him blast someone into oblivion while he's a bear, and it makes his powers a lot less awkward.

Modular Abilities really only allows for Creature Features and occasionally some other things. I'd be wary of letting you potentially get Refinements with it.

This. Mostly anyway. Modular Abilities is actually pretty limited, but it does allow all Strength, Speed, and Toughness powers in addition to Creature Features. It does not, however, allow any power, and certainly not spellcraft. Nor would I allow it to, that gets broken real quick.

Now, if using custom powers, there's a construct for what you're talking about...but I try not to do that for the most part, and I remain deeply concerned about the potential abuses of being able to shuffle your Refinements at will, which is something that build would allow.

I assume you're talking about variable abilities?

Yup, that's the one.

I'm not incredibly fond of it. A lot of the Custom Powers list is great, and some of it ....isn't.

*shrug* I pretty much won't be using them for this thread, so...
