Law Talk
blackstaff67:
At the risk of being blasted for opening a necro'd thread, I have a 7th Law question. Our group (WC Wizard, Sorcerer, and a Champion of God) have acquired a library (of sorts) that may provide data on fighting Outsiders. Can either of the first two read it w/o picking up Lawbreaker? If no, can the CoG peruse it w/o picking Lawbreaker? Since she is not a "spellcaster" is she even capable of picking up 7th Lawbreaker? If so, then am I right in asserting it is the only Lawbreaker stunt even a "vanilla mortal" can pick up?
Taran:
I don't know what the right answer is. That Law is a bit weird. You could skip past it and let the CoG use his "guide my hand" ability to find the right answers without risking himself to corruption.
Or maybe it'll corrupt him and that would be fun too!
Sanctaphrax:
Necroing this thread is totally appropriate. That's why it's stickied.
Anyway, I recommend against handing out Seventh Lawbreaker to non-casters. It doesn't present an interesting story, it just subtracts from an abstract mechanical number and throws off the game's balance.
But some kind of corrupting mental attack/Aspect change could be cool.
Mr. Death:
Generally speaking, I tend to take it as the seven laws of magic can only be broken by, well, doing magic. So finding a book about Outsiders wouldn't, on its own, break the Law. But if you took that book and used it to try and summon an Outsider, that would.

As you research you slowly get corrupted, represented by mental attacks. The longer you research, the stronger the pull/attacks. Aspects can represent (click to show/hide)The nemesis' influence.
I agree that Lawbreaker should only be for spell-casters.
