I thought it was the other way around. That you were still in the game as long as you had consequences open. I didn't realize that you're taken out if all your stress of a particular type was filled, as long as you still had consequences. Hmmm... My entire life has been a lie...

LOL. Thank you guys for the clarification.

Concessions are the one part that I've always gotten right, it turns out.

These are all for my most recent character.

Irish-Chinese American Phoenix Scion: he has a rich heritage.

Granny Feng's Expectations: he's being constantly scrutinized by his grandmother for not living up to his "destiny." In our game, she's a Mab-level being, the opposing force of the Dragon in Chinese mythology. Once, when the GM was trying to use "ancient Chinese wisdom" on my character, I responded with something I read off a fortune cookie. It was kind of funny.

Ninja School Drop Out: my character likes to disappear, creep up on someone and whisper, "Ninja," in his or her ear.

 Thank you for your feedback.

So if I'm understanding correctly, a sponsored person might have a wand of +1 offensive power to (insert Sponsored Magic here).

I'll cut down on the elements, maybe just have some sort of purifying fire.

It's with the temple dogs in Our World. Page 78.

Thank you!!!!

I'm the GM of a Roll20 game and have a player whose character is a Spirit of Loss (or Regret). The Spirit has lost its memories and the player plays it very cheeky and brash. Especially where corporeal creatures are concerned.

During the final session of a story arc, the group was facing down a warlock who was attempting to summon an Outsider. Before the session, I gave the player a choice between statues his character could possess to use in the battle (a la Bob and lion statue in Skin Game). He chose a Buddha statue. Two players in the group snuck into the warehouse-lair of the warlock, while the Spirit/Buddha smashed his way through like an enlightened Kool Aid Man. The first round of minions he encountered ran away out of confusion and fear rather than being taken out from physical conflict.

The game gets better. As the other players are attempting to take out the warlock and his last minions, the ritual to summon the Outsider finishes and a portal to the Outside opens inside a magic circle. The other players are trying to figure out how to safely close the portal behind cover as the warlock and crew rain down magical attacks. From out of nowhere, the Spirit/Buddha rushes the portal, breaks the circle and launches himself at the Outsider. He narrated his high Athletics roll as him throwing himself through the portal, tackling the Outsider before it could come through to this side. For just a moment, I sat there with my mouth hanging open, thinking, "He just killed his character..."

But the player has one more trick. Earlier in the game I gave him and another player pins from the Summer Court that would transport anyone pricked by them into the court of a powerful Summer sidhe who was seeking a pair of twin sorcerers that had been brainwashed by the warlock. The players were suppose to save the twins and deliver them to the sidhe who would offer sanctuary. The player "pricks" the statue with the pin, transporting him to the court of this sidhe.

I stumbled through the rest of the combat in shock and glee. It was the funniest, most epic moment so far. It launched a new story line I hadn't really thought much about and now there's a Buddha statue collecting moss in the lands of Summer. In another session, the same player surprises me when he asks the spellcasters in the group to help him with a ritual to turn a portion of the NeverNever into his demesne. They were successful and now the game is going a completely different route than I first imagined.

This guy constantly surprises me in the best ways possible.

I'm always so impressed with the smart, creative responses from the posters here.

You could model it with beast change or human form to represent the shift in skills or powers. I don't like demonic co-pilot as is,  but some variation of it. Like maybe it can project from your body and you can  share its senses which would allow you to make Investigation, Lore, Scholarship, etc checks when not physically present. For an additional X amount of Refresh you can manipulate objects,  people. Maybe make Fists attacks. For more Refresh, you can attempt to take possession of objects like Bob does or even people. But while you're sharing its senses, your body is vulnerable. You could also let beast change affect powers like the Sight.

I'm on a ta'blet. Please excuse typos.
