If Mad Wrench still has the coin then he's gonna need MUCH better Discipline to resist the Denarian for long. Remember, Demonic Co-Pilot gives you a bonus to your "murder, maim 'n break stuff! WOO!" type rolls, but then you've gotta defend against them using your Discipline. If you fail then eventually your little buddy's gonna eat your soul. Again.

Might be nice to give 'em an offensive capability, too. Maybe "Breath Weapon" to have them throw gears and wrenches and such?

And to get the thread back to the original topic. I'm perfectly okay with there being more Holy Weapons in the Dresdenverse. I just see them as the primary order of Holy Warriors fighting for the White God who are supported by the Church. Somewhere on the boards is a character concept for a guy wielding the Spear of Destiny. It's functionally identical to the Swords of the Cross, but there's just one of it and there's not a lot of backup coming for it's wielder.

Heck, it's not as though Christianity is the only religion out there, there's no reason to limit warriors of the faith to one group of faithful. I'm sure that muslims, jews, hindus and buddhists all have their own devout protectors. And beyond that, Jim's written in both Norse and Greek gods, and there's no reason that they too can't have their own champions. You could have Champions of Thor smiting the children of Ice and Fire giants (maybe the fae of the Summer and Winter courts?) with their Hammers or the Chosen of Herakles (the most widely worshipped pre-christian deity in the world) out beating modern day Nemean Lions to death with their bare hands.

What Bibliophile20 said. If you want to cut off your own hand, I'll go ahead and assume you know what you're doing well enough to really hurt yourself and thus will get by your Catch.

Also: they are magnificent.

Wide open spaces don't preclude the inclusion of terrain. Loose gravel, a bag of marbles, ropes and pit traps are all available in various open spaces. But yes, I agree. If you spend the points on a "go fast" power then you should be allowed to use it.

If you're going to fight a fast character in a wide open space, set traps beforehand. Nets, tripwires, loose gravel, all that can work to your advantage.

Alternately: bring a bunch of friends to surround the place.

Granted, W&M, but what we see of in later books like White Knight and the way he's described in Backup kinda make it seem like complete domination is a definite possibility.
