The Dresden Files > DFRPG
Duels between mortal Practitioners and the Law of Magic
Falar:
Well, if the whole party is that kind of person, then you're probably not running a 'normal' Dresden Files game where you're playing the more-or-less good guys. You're probably playing a villains game. Which is cool, that's something that everyone should be a part of sometime. But then you don't really need to worry about having Lawbreaker stunts and possibly should throw together a different way of approaching things.
Seriously, if your theme of the party is sociopathic people who view everyone else as monsters, then you're not going to end up running into the same things that this system is built for. You're more or less going to have to make your own take of the Fate system and the world as a whole.

thus the "im not sure how useful it would be" say they where biomancer's mechanically though, and latter learned evocation.

i view the laws as a metaphysical reaction to actions, not morality. so i would enforce it equally weather your a sociopathic monster or a nun. thus id permit you to play the rampant killer. as long as you can still control yourself. [this being expressed as having refresh left in the fate system]. As to weather or not this would be a "normal"{ dresden game. i would probably contend that any game run in the dresdverse is a normal game. there no reason you couldn't tell a story about the vampire wizard war from the red court perspective for example. it would be a very different type of game but still very canonical. if you loose your last refresh you just become one of the (click to show/hide)Mindless "feeder" vampires that we saw in changes Id even argue that this distinction makes more sense then a wizard being unplayable because he went one point over a changeable and arbitrary mechanical line
KOFFEYKID:
Yeah I dont understand why a Red Court Infected with a Refresh Level of 12, a Refresh Adjustment of 7 who becomes a full red court (refresh level 11) would be an NPC.
Aside from the fact that apparently Red Court Vamps are always NPCS.

Because by becoming Red Court you cease to be the person you were before and become a complete monster, and incapable of remaining a normal, functional, PC.
I've got nothing against, say, an all Red Court game, but they do not play well with others and are not acceptable PCs in the vast majority of games. Free will isn't nthe only measure of PC-ness. Most games won't allow a serial pedophile/child murderer, despite that not having any Refresh cost at all, and the character likely being fully possessed of his own will.
