Well that's that one out the window, like I said just a silly thought anyway.

OK here's a silly thought that hit me while I was in the bath.
Why is Harry so tall?
I don't remember either of his parents being described as especially tall, and I have always imagined Ebenezar as being rather short but I can't remember if thats actually in the books or if it's just me. Now of course it is possible to be very tall and have averaged sized parents but hight is a genetic trait so tall people often have at least one tall parent.

Thanks for the replies as I said I like the system and will get used to this feature, and hopefully it will makes more sense when I see it in play.
Just a thought on this if the blinded guy is an NPC the GM will not be compelling him and therefore the blind aspect will only kick in when the players spend a fate point.
Correction: When fighting a blinded guy, you only get a distinct advantage against him when you decide his blindness is narratively important (i.e. when you spend a Fate point). When it comes time for him to actually fight, the GM can and should compel that "Blinded" aspect liberally. Think Han Solo at the beginning of Return of the Jedi to see what a "Blinded" character looks like in a FATE fight scene.

DFRPG / Question about Aspects placed using maneuvers.

If a maneuver is used to create an aspect it only impacts on play if a fate point is spent (beyond the initial tag) correct? So to use an example from the book if I take cover I am actually no harder to hit unless unless I spend a fate point?
I Like the fate system but this seems a bit odd and I can see some really odd situations developing, like blinded characters fighting normally until someone spends a fate point.
Have I misunderstood or is this how they system works?
