Title: Simple Question about Aspects and Tagging
Post by: Asleif on August 12, 2014, 01:39:05 PM
Hey there people, I assume its a simple question, yet I don't have my books with me at the moment and the question has been bugging me for a while.

How many people can tag an aspect? i.e. invoke it for free? Lets say a knight of the cross severely injures a demon and cuts his hand off, incurring the severe consequence "Missing Arm". Assuming you have a party of 4, can all four PCs tag the aspect once for free or only a single player?

The same goes for pretty much every other kind of Aspect that is broadly available.

Thanks in advance!

You only get one free tag on an aspect.  If it's fragile, the aspect goes away once it is tagged.  If it's sticky, all subsequent invokes require a Fate Point.

So, if the demon has a 'missing arm' and the Knight passes the tag to anyone, the next person can tag it for free.  The demon does not receive a FP.

Anyone else afterwards must spend a FP to invoke it again and that FP gets paid to the demon.

It's the same with any aspect.  If someone does an Investigation Assessment to discover a scene aspect, only that person gets the tag...unless they choose to share the tag.
