Lawbreakers: Do We Need Them?
luminos:
yeah, not bad at all. Of course, with all that lawbreaking, the GM is going to start going compel crazy on the twisted aspects of the character. ;D

Not as overpowered as the first (incorrect) version, but not bad...
And the Power comes mainly from the Foci not from the Lawbreaker.

Yeah, any Channeler with tons of refinement is going to be pretty brutal. I mean, you spent all of your refresh AND 2 Superbs +1 Great skill on one trick (granted Spirit is pretty broad). You could achieve a similar effect by dropping lawbreaker and either buying more Refinement (for Defensive Control, so you can have a full effect Rote and Offensive Power) or just taking some more Fate Points. The FP route lets you create a maneuver with your spells, and then spend your points to Compel that new aspect. So you make an enemy dish out some 'friendly fire' instead of just tagging for a bonus.
You could do a lot with Veils without going directly into somebody's mind, after all. Or with kinetics/fields to use the other side of spirit.
KOFFEYKID:
Unfortunately you cant take refinement with channeling, you have to have either full evocation or full thaumaturgy to do it, unless you houserule otherwise.

You can, but only to get items.
Biff Dyskolos:
If you have Lawbreaker (First law), does the bonus automatically apply to your Weapon:x evocations or do you have to choose to use it?
If it is automatic then I prefer Lawbreaker as a stunt. Otherwise I think I prefer Lawbreaker as an aspect because it is compellable.
