The Dresden Files > DFRPG
what playable stuff are you hoping for?
iago:
I'm with TheMouse on this one. It's about mortal practitioners, and about enforcement. Shapeshifting into a panther is legal (you can transform yourself) and killing someone with your claws is legal (that's not magic, that's claws -- there's a reason the Wardens kill with swords). Your emissary is in interesting territory -- that's probably a mortal practitioner doing the deed, but they're under the aegis of whatever political/supernatural entity they're an emissary for. I'd say it's a violation of the law as far as the Council sees it, but diplomatic entanglements will make enforcement difficult. But, there's also a "the-reality-of-how-breaking-the-laws-affects-you" side to the laws in the RPG, so I'd say you probably still get dinged by the 'Lawbreaker' effect, mechanically, regardless of whether or not you can evade the political consequences.
And yes, there will be (light) rules for hellfire and soulfire.
The grimoires will be every bit as rare as they are in the novels... unless the GM decides otherwise.

Excellent. I'm not certain that I will want to take my game in that direction, but I like having the options available. I might, for example, spaz out and decide to take inspiration from Supernatural and do a war between Heaven and Hell.
rickayelm:
In the novella Backup it has an antagonist that gains magical power by merging her soul with a spirit. It also mentions a group of people that gain superhuman physical abilities by grafting the limbs of beings from the nevernever to their bodies. Will there be rules for such things.

No explicit rules, but it'd be easy to implement. We're not covering Backup in the core.
skakid:
I'd think maybe a takeoff of the Emissary template?
Maybe all it would be is a flavor change.
