paul_Harkonen:
Depends entirely on how you're using the coin.
If it's just to tap into hell-fire and more magical background knowledge then Demonic co-pilot doesn't make sense at all. If, on the other hand, you're using it to turn into a giant 6 legged bear... you get the idea.
The Denerians can be the source of a huge number of different powers, treat most of them like sponsored magic with a fairly low debt tolerance, or willingness to keep giving you more powers until you lose your grip on humanity (go below 0 refresh). It's not going to be a long term character most likely, but it is a valid PC

I thought about Demonic Co-pilot, but I looked through all of the stats and powers for the Denarians listed in OW and none of them had it. Only one of them (Nicodemus) had Marked by Power, but I feel that all of them should have it.
surarrin:
Well, no. Think of the Fallen as sponsors.

Actually, it seems fairly appropriate that most of them don't have it. Harry didn't really recognize the nature of Ursiel and had some trouble figuring out what happened even after soulgazing him. So I'm not sure that most of them are sufficiently obvious to qualify for Marked.
I think that pretty much every Denarian except Nick comes with physical alterations when running at full power (otoh, maybe he was never running at 100%, since he had a lot of confidence in his noose). I think it's fair to count him as the exception regardless. Sure, Lash was only providing Hellfire and knowledge, but that was without actually taking up the coin. There's probably a limit to how much they can help out with physical stuff inside the limits of a normal human shell.
I'm actually doing this for my character. Her coin is allowing her to turn into a monstrous scorpion form with Inhuman Strength, Claws, and Supernatural Toughness. She also has Great Discipline and a bonus social consequence, which should hopefully help put the brakes on losing control.
neko128:
Well, my understanding is that there's two major ways to use the coins - voluntarily or involuntarily. If you actively seek cooperation with the coin, you gain a high degree of control and power, but if you try to resist they may be able to seize control anyway - in which case you're just a vessel.
Am I mis-remembering that?
