Lavecki121:
Msn. I didn't even think of that, mostly because I forgot, but yea that's totally suicide on that guys part
Mrmdubois:
As the dao of Terry Pratchett tells us, there's a lot of ways to commit suicide. Like walking in the Shades, or picking a fight in the Broken Drum, threatening Vimes family, etc. Same holds true in the Dresdenverse.
vultur:
My take on enchanted items and the Laws:
If you aim it with Discipline, like Harry's force ring, it's using your will to control the effect, so it counts as magic for the First Law.
If you use Weapons (or Guns... or Fists), like a Warden Sword, you're using your mundane weapon skill to control a weapon that just happens to be magically deadly, so it doesn't count.
What do you think?
blackstaff67:
Yeah, using magic in any form to kill is A Bad Thing. Mind you, using it to misdirect, distort, warp or misinform or mislead is perfectly okay. Which is why I have no problem making a construct for my wizard, filling it with nitroglycerin, then possessing it after putting my features on it to take to a drug deal or the like is perfectly okay. If the other guy chooses to exercise Free Will and shoot at me, too bad for him. Mind you, I make sure there aren't any innocents nearby and I make sure it takes place at night so my spirit won't be fried by the sun, but it's perfectly 1st Law legal.
Come to think of it, speaking of ways around the laws, pretty sure it's okay for vanilla mortals to research information of the Outsiders without violating the 7th Law.
Mrmdubois:
It's not, but it's more likely to go unnoticed.
Reason being that the 7th Law is the only one that can be broken just by doing the research.
I wouldn't bother forcing Lawbreaker on someone for that though, especially non-casters since it would do nothing for them. An Aspect change at most, or no change at all depending.
