DFRPG / Magical enchantment and the first law.
« on: April 18, 2010, 07:26:46 PM »
According to the book, using a gust of wind to knock someone off a building is a first law violation.

Wardens swords are enchanted, and can be used to kill without violation of the first law. What doesn't make sense to me is that if a warden's sword is used to remove a magic shield from someone to allow the sword to reach them, they're basically using magic to make a killing possible, which seems to fall under using magic to kill someone.

Someone using an enchanted bullet, or an enchanted gun that guides the bullets. Is that a first law violation? The bullets themselves are doing the killing, like the sword. Remove the magic, and the person would still be dead.

DFRPG / Defensive Riposte
« on: April 14, 2010, 08:09:56 AM »
We've got a priest character who was asking about the combination of Full Defense and Riposte, basically if it would be possible to combine them, and if you did, how it would effect the bonuses.

Full Defense is +2 to avoid attacks, Riposte allows you to sacrifice your next action to turn a successful defense into an automatic attack.

The way he was wanting it to play, he'd declare a Full Defense, he'd get attacked, and he'd pick one of the attacks to turn into a riposte, and for the rest of the round he'd be exposed.

By the Rule of Cool, it makes sense to allow it, especially since the character was to have an aspect that prevented him from attacking normally. We are still working on the details, whether he'll be allowed to attack in circumstances other than defending, or not.

Any thoughts?
