Not quite sure what you mean by "with bonus of +2"- mild consequences, or something a bit more subtle?

This page has a whole list of consequences and suggested severity.

Tell me more about what you are wanting to do?

Hrm.

Physical: Cold iron, fire, wood, leather, that sort of thing for substance-catches; strangling, bludgeoning, cutting, or stabbing injuries; "things that have been alive"; a single weak point that's easy to hit, as long as you know it's there.

Mental: Mental stuff's often used for resisting torture, so maybe strobe lighting (or even just bright lights) are the sort of thing that come to mind; more esoteric things might include a prolonged loud or dissonant noise, or any simple technique anyone could set up- dripping water, sensory deprivation, hair-pulling...

Does that help?

so then i guess out loud prayer would work then for mental.   for like a social catch i thought it would be a type of person like wizzard or were creature, r maybe just a certain social stat in general

I have no idea how a social catch would even happen, TBH.

I can actually picture a social catch, if you couch it in vaguely fairy tale terms. Most would be +0 or +1 though, like believing anything chanted by three or more people. Being terrified of people with blond hair or easily swayed by anyone attractive could work too. Fair warning though, these are all off the top of my head though.

It sounds very difficult to price and balance though.

Yeah, 'cause as currently written, the only thing a Catch can attach to is Toughness and Recovery- so "scared of blond people" is tough to implement.
