For-Certain Character Types
Lanodantheon:
Here's another idea I had a question about:
You can be a True Believer like Father Foothill and stuff, but what if I want to play the exact opposite of that?
Let's say Bob the Mortal (Hypothetical) is the world's biggest Skeptic and doesn't believe in all this magic crap. One reason he doesn't believe (or because of his disbelief) Bob the Mortal has a natural resistance to the Magic, the ability to see through Glamours and other natural defenses against powers of the things that go bump.
I know that the FATE system is easily customizable and it can be as easy as choosing certain stunts, but what options do I have? Is their like a "Magical Resistance" Stunt or "I see Strange People" or something?
Diebdazar:
If Bob the skeptic could see through glamours, and other magical disguises, then he probably wouldn't be a skeptic for long :P
TheMouse:
I can imagine a stunt which gave you a bonus to any sort of resistance roll you'd get against magic. We've seen several beasties with a great deal of resistance to magical effects. It really depends on the particulars of the magic system, but I can imagine a series of stunts which granted you a degree of magic resistance. Of course, with powerful resistance comes a lowered refresh and thus more compels you need to go along with.
Lanodantheon:
Are Panweres possible in the RPG? Panwere meaning a Were-from with multiple animal forms.
Also, I know Were-forms are dedicated casters, only able to do the one spell and back, but are there full-blown wizard equivalents?
Are Wizards capable of Were-form magic without breaking the Laws? I think you'd be able to without breaking the Laws of Magic because it is yourself and not someone else.
TheMouse:
I would guess that a full blown wizard who also has the advantages of a were-creature would have a negative refresh and would therefore be unplayable. Depending on the way they structure the were-creature stunts, you might be able to be a focussed caster with multiple were-forms and stay in the refresh positive column.
