For-Certain Character Types
Douglas:
What's the line between True Believer and Champion of God?
And in a universe where powers other than capital G God exist, will small g gods and godesses be able to field Champions, or do they get Emissaries of Power?

Champs get a few extra powers & responsibilities. It's an intentionally fuzzy line.

That's the role the EoP template fills.

Iago, this list is pure awesome sauce... ;D
Question: What is the difference between
Focused Practitioner
Minor Talent
Sorcerer
True Believer &
Wizard
???
Also, with the flexibility you illustrated for Emissary of Power, I Wonder about how else you can deal with outlier character types.
Important to note: I would never actually play a character like this, I'm just using it as an exaple to find out how flexible the DFRPG will be.
Let's say I want to play a character like Silent Bob. Let's just say. I'd like his concept to be that through sheer obsession he developed his own powers (No pacts, no spellbooks, no nothing). How would I build this character?
The answer to question 2 is probably the answer to question 1.
TheMouse:
From the books, a wizard is a magic practitioner with both power and talent. Sorcerers just have raw destructive power, but with no skill to do other things.
I am guessing that a minor talent is someone with little magic but some flexibility.
My guess is that a focused practitioner is like Mort, a one trick pony.
True believers are probably like Father Forthill. Their faith doesn't give them huge powers, but they always seem to be protected and they might have other things going for them.
How close am I? (:

That's why you play a ghoul who's a vegan. :D
