You mean... a hat? Finally.
Lost Merlin:
I think the two different Shield Bracelets is a good Idea and have been wondering why he hasn't done that yet, My guess is just time.
--- Quote from: Bacchus on March 04, 2018, 08:52:24 AM --- Ive always hated how much of a glass cannon Dresden is, if he goes about openly it would be very easy for him to die in a surprise attack from a few guys with scoped rifles.
to make him tougher id say he needs enchanted boots and shin protection, enchanted vest, hardened vampbraces (he always blocks blows with his forearms).some type of head protection for battles at least

I think you are asking too much to make Harry OP. I think part of what Jim has been preaching about Wizards during the whole book is that they are glass cannons.

I would absolutely love it if one story, long story or novella-length (I'd at least like 30 pages), dealt with Harry combating a threat that was so far beneath him on the Scale of Things to Be Afraid Of that every fight was a total curbstomp. Waves and waves of faceless mooks that pose zero threat to Harry whatsoever, and an extended action sequence in which Harry annihilates thousands of them. And the whole time Harry is just complaining. "I'm not even supposed to be here today."
Basically imagine a horde of Darth Wannabes getting their butts kicked by a souped-up, completely overpowered Dresden, a totally mindless story that amounts to us reading about Harry playing Life on God Mode.
Obviously not much fun for a novel, but it'd be a blast to see Harry be John Wick with Magic for a little while.

Short Story that sounds worth reading. Like you said put in to perspective how much power creep has gone on with Harry from Storm Front. Show us the growth while showing that Harry is strong when facing 'normal' threats.
forumghost:
The problem being that even 'normal' threats are a big danger to Dresden, even with his big "Power Boost" from being the Winter Knight.
Like how in CD he needed to be rescued from a couple of pixies.
Or how in SG he needed to be saved from Formor Red Shirts.
Harry just... isn't really all that. Don't let his in-universe rep fool you.
