Hello,

I heard Fred and Rob discuss how difficult it is to stat up the Dresden's Shield Bracelet in the Harry Dresden RPG, but cannot understand why. It's still FATE right? Wouldn't the Shield Bracelet be an Aspect that could invoked like any other Aspect? If you want to take it further I'm sure that the "magic version" of the Spirit of the Century Gadget rules would do the trick.

Now, bear in mind, that my experience with Harry Dresden and the Shield Bracelet is purely based on the TV show and what I've heard on the podcast. I'm about to pick up my first Dresden book, and perhaps that will change my opinion on statting the Shield Bracelet, although I doubt it.

The charm with FATE, as I see it, is how Aspects are so universally usefull to model just about anything. It will sadden me if the Dresden version of FATE is a crunchfest.

TTFN,

Yoki
