Hi all.

        I've been trying to create a hunter character somewhere between the Grimm brothers (movie) and the characters from the book The Historian. I wanted to keep him pure mortal but still give him the ability to stand toe to toe with more powerful characters. I decided one of the ways I could do this was to give him a weapon with stunts attached to it much like the item of power rules.

            GRIMM BLADE

                Stunts:

                           Grimm Purpose: In days long past this sword was used to slay untold numbers of fairytale creatures. Those that survived       remember those events with dread . +2 intimidation to any checks vs fae

                            Perfectly balanced blade: +1 ws when carrying this blade (similar to +1ws when weilding specific weapon types)


                             Crafted by a master smith: Ignores 2points of armour on sucessful hit




None of the effects are magical ,they are created more by the psychological reaction to the blade and by the unusually high skill with which the blade was manafactured rather than just going into walmart and picking up a random weapon off the shelf.

Another thing I thought that might give him an edge were common rituals. I didn't want him to be a magic user so the ability to reenforce his defences much like the defensive circles used in the literature without becoming a supernatural character seemed like a good idea. I remembered reading that common rituals should be rare from a previous post and I thought from a story point of view relying on aspects for their effects didn't seem like a good idea. I also thought that if it was to have an impact on story and gameplay it should cost something So after creating my sword I decided to do something similar for common ritual:
                         

  Stoker Grimoire


Stunts:

              Common Ritual: Defence of the homestead
+2 to the strength of the threshhold of the building you perform this ritual on . Building must have a threshhold to begin with. Ritual only lasts for as many days as your lore




I would be grateful for feedback...
