DFRPG / Making PCs Faerie Esquires?
« on: August 16, 2012, 04:04:58 PM »
I've been thinking on Aspects and temporary powers and Sidhe favours, and I now have a question: How would one go about making a PC an esquire to one of the Faerie Courts, like Harry and Morgan post-Proven Guilty?

The easiest way would be to make them one during character creation, but I was wondering how you could do this as a reward. You could say that everyone has to replace one of their Aspects with Esquire to Summer/Winter, but that seems a bit arbitrary. I see two other ways to handle this: either you have a custom power of Esquire to Summer/Winter [-0], allowing you to call in one favour, or you have a fragile temporary aspect (one free tag/declaration) of Esquire to Summer/Winter, which lasts as long as you don't use it.

Thoughts?

DFRPG / Question on Maneuvers
« on: August 13, 2012, 10:12:27 PM »
Okay, I have a question about maneuvers. It's kinda split into two parts:

1. Is it possible to perform navel-gazing manuevers out of combat? The RAW doesn't seem to suggest that, but it seems kinda reasonable to me.

2. If it is possible, could one place an aspect like Ready for Anything on oneself, and tag/invoke it for +2 in the Alertness roll to determine Initiative? It seems logical that an individual who was prepared and expecting a fight would react faster than one who wasn't.

I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on how to run a PC posessed by a Demon - not just sponsored by one, but actually sharing the bod of the PC. If anyone's read the Malus Darkblade books, this is the kind of setup I'm going for.

I was thinking Sponsored Magic (Hellfire) would be logical, and some kind of debt/stress system to temporarily buy powers such as Inhuman/Supernatural Strength/Speed/Toughness/Recovery, Claws ect. with the caveat that, if the powers exceed the PC's refresh limit or some other limit (this is where the idea of a 'demon' stress track comes from), the Demon takes over, and the more the PC draws on the Demon's power, the more likely it is to try to take control.

The Demon taking control would take the form of a temporary blackout, with the PC waking up to find themselves in a bad situation (for example, running along the edge of a canal in the middle of a thunderstorm three hours later with armed cops in pursuit) and having to find out what the Demon did.

Thoughts?
