Is the Summer Court making a play for power in Chicago?

And this makes a difference how?! 

OF WITH THEIR HEADS I SAY!!

No problem with that, but breaking laws is something cool, Harry (the one and only) will do it all the time in the coming books.. and you will grant this level of coolness to those teen wizards? (Yeah, I know, look who is speaking...)

If your vampires will start glittering in the sun we'll have a serious problem, sir!

In Harrys case, his defensive capabilities were reduced to a minimum, which is very similar to the outcome of a successful ambush in game terms, therefore I would compare "being held at gunpoint" to a successful ambush, maybe even understand it as the outcome or description of a successful ambush, nothing else.

Hulking size doesn't benefit fists and weapons. I believe the mentioned skill set to be a glitch in the rulebook.

According to the trappings that are listed, hulking size effects Endurance (extra stress), Athletics (for defense and sprinting), Might (+2 on breaking and lifting on top of a possible supernatural strength skill), Intimidation, Stealth and numerous other skills that relate to the use of objects that are meant to be used by humans.

There is no glitch.

As you said before, defensive capabilities are affected by the size, negatively thereby fists (defense) and weapons (defense) are affected, too.

The easiest way to compel most "weaponized" items of power should be "dragging someone into conflict", even if its wielder is either outclassed or outnumbered by his opponent(s).

The GM can also drag the Item's bearer into a non-physical conflict,f.e. it might be a social-conflict-compel, where the GM compels the player to use an alternate solution instead of picking up a fight with his opponent, even if he would clearly win a physical conflict and might loose a social conflict.

Please ask yourself: Witch trapping of the Conviction or Disciplines Skill gets transplanted to Lore here? Answer: There isn't one as the things you're trying to manipulate are clearly part of the evocation power.

In my opinion this is a rather good example for why stunts generally shouldn't relate to powers or their use, but we have the other thread to discuss this, so the question should probably be taken there.

Well basically there is no trapping transplanted here. Both stunts take elements of the skill description and transplant them to the Lore skill, without touching any existing trappings, thereby the creation of those stunts wouldn't be exactly by the rules, but there are existing stunts that are not created by the rules either, f.e. Riposte. Therefore I asked out of curiosity.

But I get your point, that stunts shouldn't relate to powers.
Power relating "stunts" should get handled like add-ons to those powers.

From Dead Beat:

"It isn't a mortal," I said. "(...) You know the laws are there to protect our fellow wizards and mortals."

RCIs and WCVs are immortal beings, thereby not protected by the laws.

Well, you get it pretty easily if you ask me. Especially during Christmas its everywhere..i really really mean EVERYWHERE.

Its based on the Ragnarok Cycle of the Nordic mythology, especially the story of Baldur.

Wiki

Baldr is known primarily for the story of his death. His death is seen as the first in the chain of events which will ultimately lead to the destruction of the gods at Ragnarök. Baldr will be reborn in the new world, according to Völuspá.
He had a dream of his own death and his mother had the same dreams. Since dreams were usually prophetic, this depressed him, so his mother Frigg made every object on earth vow never to hurt Baldr. All objects made this vow except mistletoe. Frigg had thought it too unimportant and nonthreatening to bother asking it to make the vow (alternatively, it seemed too young to swear).
When Loki, the mischief-maker, heard of this, he made a magical spear from this plant (in some later versions, an arrow). He hurried to the place where the gods were indulging in their new pastime of hurling objects at Baldr, which would bounce off without harming him. Loki gave the spear to Baldr's brother, the blind god Höðr, who then inadvertently killed his brother with it (other versions suggest that Loki guided the arrow himself).

Its actually not a very fitting catch if you don't play a scion of Baldur, but after all the little mistletoe led to the events that caused the downfall of the Nordic Gods, thereby I deemed it a worthy catch for their off-springs.

And to be honest, when I created my Scion and his catch i was pretty new to the DF Game and thereby had some difficulties to come up with better catches, that weren't that worn and boring.
