Item Crafting

It does indeed. I didn't intend to stop a person who wanted to use their foci to boost crafting instead of blowshitups or something else more proactive.
So noted.

I missed before that Armor is halfed again. So I got an crazy good result with +4 Armor.
But one question I got from your summary:
--- Quote from: LCDarkwood on April 09, 2010, 08:12:47 AM ---But let's go crazy, and say you used your evocation focus item slots to make an item that helps you with crafting. (It's legal, don't look at me that way.) You have to, by default, adhere to the columns, so you get +1 frequency and +1 strength.

From page YW 279:
--- Quote ---Example: Evan Montrose has three focus item slots. He could make a single wand that takes up all three slots, giving him +3 offensive power for wind evocation only, ...

So I thought Focus Items are an exception to the column rule.

Yeah, I was under that impression, too. Actually, if it's not that really screws Focused Practicioners of all stripes, since they can't get anything above +1/+2 due to lacking more than two categories.

--- Quote from: Deadmanwalking on April 09, 2010, 08:30:43 AM ---So, I have a question, actually: What happens if add magic Armor to kevlar? Or plate mail for that matter? Can you stack the magic armor with the mundane? I'd think so, but I'm not sure.

I don't think armor stacks, period. You take the highest rating available, and that's your protection. It's sort of the same logic that blocks use - if you have a Great (+4) block protecting me, and I roll a Fantastic (+6) to defend, I get my result. But we don't stack them.
From a narration perspective, I could see an enchanted Kevlar suit despite this - it might only be Armor:2, but it works both when you get shot and when some Summer Court rep tries to incinerate you with Summer flame. That's largely color stuff, though.

Does that mean those with Inhuman Toughness can't stack it's benefits with worn armor? Because that...doesn't make alot of sense, actually. And makes it definitively worse than Inhuman Strength, whose Stress bonus most definitively does stack with weapons.
