DFRPG / Re: Council entrance exams and becoming a warden...or not
« on: September 02, 2010, 09:42:07 PM »
I tend to think drafting wardens would be a bad idea.  Exerting a certain amount of social pressure would certainly be fair, but if someone says no you're not going to force them at staffpoint.

Conscript armies have enough problems as it is, and Wardens are both the police force and the army of the White Council.  Your most combat-powerful wizards are not the people you want bitter about having been press-ganged into risking their lives.  Ultimately the sort of missions the wardens undertake simply can't be done by people who aren't doing it voluntarily.

DFRPG / Re: Attacking Hunger Track with Evocation

I have to admit, I was thinking about this almost entirely from the perspective of a PC with Evocation using it on NPC vampires, not the other way around.  From that perspective, where the NPC's internal story doesn't matter all that much and they can be assumed to kill somebody off-screen to empty their stress track, it didn't seem like a big deal.

I thought hunger track stress didn't take away powers on its own, though.  Only special Consequences taken when you can't take more hunger stress does that.

DFRPG / Attacking Hunger Track with Evocation
« on: September 01, 2010, 07:20:00 PM »
Could Evocation be used to attack a vampire's hunger stress track directly?  It seems to me that Water ought to be able to do it for Red Court and Black Court (as they use physical blood) and Spirit ought to be able to do it for White Court (as they use emotion).  In narrative terms it seems simple enough to describe what you're trying to do, which is to destroy the 'fuel' the vampire is using to power their supernatural abilities.

Do you think it would be defended against with Discipline, or would Endurance or something else be more appropriate?
