That is a good question and it can't be simple, regardless of how "easy" they are to supposedly dispatch by vanilla humans, if making more Bampires were easy, they could overrun whole towns, breed armies in a night....
Granted... Drulinda did raise both rentacops within a radically short time period, so it's possible it is very easy, little more than drinking a human dry and letting the body get back up as a Bampire. The low numbers could simply be that smart Bampires don't allow too many of thier victim's to raise, to keep their whereabouts more subtle and to reduce the competition.
But simplecreation does not indicate it would be simple to undo.
Good points; I'll certainly agree that druggies and other addicts are possibly in the negatives. I also think that people who are deeply in debt or other spiraling obligations can be approaching that limit.
Hulking Size the power that does give you the mass etc to resist a grapple with your definition of the lifting breaking power does not give any bonus to grapple defence. Even though it would be impossible for a Human sized mortal without strength powers to grapple (block on all actions) something with Hulking Size and Mythic Strength say Sue the Tyrannosaurs Rex this only provides a +3 bonus against grapples with your definition.
Exactly, obviously one can invent house rule as one wished, but beast change involves an actual change into an actual animal. That's more than a flavour thing, since changing into an actual beast has significant drawbacks like robing you of your ability to speak, possibly to cast magic and it tends to attract unfavorable attention at mundane cocktail parties. Beast change without the actual beast change is a far more powerful ability that effectively increases the number of skill points available to the character by a huge margin. At -1 refresh it's ludicrously overpowered compared to other powers and stunts that in some way gives you access to additional skill points and there'd be virtually no reason for any character not to take it.
My point was mainly about trying to use it purely for for the skill-change without any actual shape-change. Personally I think using it for something with functional hands and/or speech is questionable, but a minotaur isn't that unreasonable, a pure skill-swap with no shape-change or changing into another human IMO is.
That has come up before, and it's a way to do it, my problem with it though is that is seems to arbitrary. Since when this comes into question it is generally a case of causing the Wizard to become an NPC the compel system leads to one of three scenarios.
1) The Wizard has no fate chips and therefor become an NPC because the GM is mean.
2) The Wizard has fate chips and unless he wants to retire the character has to give one up because the GM is a little mean.
3) The GM is not mean which means Wizards without Fate chips enjoy the benefit of being incapable of accidentally killing.
None of those are very satisfying to me.
I agree Breath Weapon is a bit underpowered, it's not really a full refresh point better than Claws. (Given that Claws allows strength bonuses, I wonder if it really shouldn't be just a -1 ability?)
