DFRPG / Articles of Faith Defense
« on: October 04, 2012, 01:17:27 AM »
I'm just wondering if there's a mechanical way to express defending yourself with your faith (such as against a BCV or Demonic Shade using a crucifix or seal of Solomon). Would it simply be used as a Block against the opponent using your Conviction as the Blocking skill? If so, (and this is probably a GM ruled thing) would it work against all creatures with a Holy catch listed? Moreover, would they get an attempt to break through it with something like Discipline or would their attacking skill take precedent?

Sorry, a bunch of questions that I don't know the answer to and couldn't seem to track down, but my kungfu might just need more work.

DFRPG / Magic Etch-a-Sketch complexity question
« on: September 18, 2012, 05:12:34 AM »
So I'm playing a Geomancer (Earth magic not math) character and I'm looking to use Thaumaturgy to bind two Etch-a-Sketches together so that what is drawn on one, appears on the other. While this would be a simple enchanted item, I'd prefer it to be a spell similar to one of Harry's tracking spells, but I'll be honest, I don't really get how to set up Thau spells like this.

It seems like it should be a complexity of probably 4 or 5, and would probably have a time frame of "an afternoon" or "a day" since it's a spell meant to last a while, with a little extra oomph I can see it lasting a sunrise or two, but here's my question: "How would this be best represented mechanically? Should it be done as a Maneuver against the Etches, or should it be presumed to be a simple action?"

Being able to instantly communicate, especially silently, can be a major advantage, especially for a wizard/sorcerer who can't use a cell phone, so I'm looking for a fun, but balanced setup. Since this is my first real custom Thaumaturgic spell, I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.
