DFRPG / Re: Listens To Wind (post-TC)
« on: June 05, 2010, 05:47:40 AM »Bear in kind that Modular Abilities have a -2 Refresh surcharge. Also that a Bear should have both Claws and Inhuman Toughness.
So, for Inhuman Strength (-2), Inhuman Toughness (-2), Inhuman Strength (-2), Hulking Size (-2), Claws (-2) totaling -9, he needs -11 worth of Modular Abilities??? Ouch.
Since he still needs pretty awesome spellcasting, I'm not willing to take his refinement below -8, -7 if absolutely necessary... but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a -30 Refresh Senior Council member. On the other hand, HWWB is -30 Refresh, and I don't think he's 'more powerful' than Listens-to-Wind... but if I start critiquing the 'canon' placements I'll never get anywhere. (Suffice it to say that everywhere the book says 'this is a minimum' - Faerie Ladies, Senior Council, etc. - I think they need like 10-15 more refresh on top. IMO the Faerie Ladies should be about equal to the Senior Council. I really do NOT buy 'the Denarians are Senior Council level' - Harry's killed way too many for that to make sense. Magog, a fairly cruddy Denarian by all accounts, has the same refresh as Listens-to-Wind??? Also I don't think Kemmler NEEDS to be beyond-stats; he's not Mab level, he never finished the Darkhallow...)
On the other hand, you seem to be OK with Senior Council Wizards with Refresh in the -30s, which works great. (Do you have all the SC at about that level? What about the Faerie Ladies?)
