I'd go a little different route.

You may use aspects created by Lore to improve a Resources skill roll.  Gain +2 to create advantage rolls for this purpose once per session.

I think it's just called a chastity belt.

So...  The author of the series, the architect of the setting, says something outright, and you 'disagree'?  Got it.

To be fair, when it comes to literary criticism I largely agree with the "Death of the Author" philosophy.  We're not really engaging in literary criticism, but trying to suss out how the mechanics of a fictional world work and work from a common baseline.  For that purpose, the views of the game designers and author carry quite a bit of weight (they don't have to be adhered to, but that would be a house rule or setting change based on your table).

Potestas seems to read the novels rather differently than I do.  He also wants a very different type of game than I do. 

self defense is allowed No person wizard or not, has to sit passively by and be killed by anyone or thing. You may have to explain your actions but your not a lawbreaker. so i doubt anyone would consider it murder especially since WCouncil knows all about the abilities of the BC and what they do to humans. I really don't think the laws are as tight as alot of people want to play them.

This is completely opposite what both the rule books and the novels present as cannon. 

Yeah I think I will go that direction. Depending on the power level of the game(if I can ever find one to join) I think Supernatural speed, inhuman recovery, and then world walker, if the character is working for Hermes then those seem necessary. What would be a good catch for a demi-god though?

Celestial bronze?  Hydra blood? 

Really though, the perfect catch for a scion of Hermes is...mercury!

We had a neophyte apprentice in our group for a short while.  They used Tolkien Elvish, as the character was a total fantasy nerd who was continually surprised when monsters didn't mesh with their romantancised expextations.

We've also used Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek, Old English, and Gaelic.  Or, rather, heavily bastardizations of them.

And you have things like the Khan academy. And Museums and lots of univerisites put up lots of material for free.

What people forget is research is not just for PhD's, they are also for things a the thesis for a Masters's degree. When I studied here in Sweden, we were told that a Master's Thesis (equivalent to 10 weeks work) should give new information on a national level.

You're not going to find detailed information on museum collections from most of their websites.  You'll get highlights and general information.  Hell, half the time you can't get a complete list on their websites. 

The internet, without paywalls, certainly cannot support a masters' thesis that is giving national level new information.  With paywalls, it's a pretty strong maybe.  Hence, internet 2.  Journal databases like JSTOR can make it a 3 (supporting undergraduate and masters' courses). 

That's very much like DC's metagene.
