this, to me
You can refuse the compel, but it costs a you a FP and the debt isn't considered to be paid back. Eventually, you have to accept to pay off the debt. The important thing is that you don't receive a FP for accepting the compel because you've already gotten something in advance.
Or that's how I read it.
Actually, Harry pulls out a copy to check before the duel with Ortega, but gives up on the language after half a sentence or so, getting "the Cliff's Notes version" from BobForgot that, thanks
Ah, sorry! I missunderstood you, I thought you meant the Knight of the Cross were in under a different name, and that made me a bit confused that I'd missed it :pI'd wager that there isn't a fully written version of the Accords, or if there is, not where Harry can't access it. What he knows of it is probably through Eb or trial-and-error.
The denarians are probably in under "The Order of the Blackened Denarius" or possibly "The Knights of...", these names did probably have no meaning whatsoever to Harry last time he actually read through the accords properly. (if he ever did...)
That makes a fair bit of sense. So in diplomatic or chatty contexts, if dishonesty or dealmaking came up somehow, the character would likely be compelled to play it straight and keep promises and such, via the High Concept Aspect. I can dig it; it'll be a fruitful ground for fate points, I reckon.You don't need to "play it straight." Mab is such an example of using loopholes and exact wording to your benefit. You don't need to lie to hide the truth.
Correct, and it's stated in one of the books aswell, I'm fairly certain it's in Small Favor.Sure, made sense, and I remembered it from *somewhere* in the books, but I don't own them to even begin to dig through books 5 and 10 to find the one line that would mention that, lol.
It's actually pretty logical, once you look at it. If the church or the Knights of the Cross did sign, they would now have obligations to respect and possibly even defend other signatories at times. You just know that someone like Nicodemus would bend and twist situations so that he could screw over the Knights with the Accords...
