Considering his history, I'd be very concerned for the well being of any mortal sponsored by the All Father. He has this tendency to empower people for long enough that they become worthy of Valhalla, then leading them to their (glorious) deaths. Particularly beware Odin when he gives you a magic sword.

yeah ... well ... don't blame him to much. he needs many many many excellent soldiers for Ragnarök. 

great! thanks! ...

... can't wait to get it from my German retailer =D

I've got another question about maneuvers as spells. Specifically about when they are done as rote spells.

Attacks still need discipline rolls to determine accuracy, do maneuvers need that as well?

So lets say a +6 maneuver as an earth evocation, adding the aspect "CAUGHT IN ROCK"
As a rote it always succeeds.

Does the defender defend against the +6? Or do i still need to roll discipline and have the defender try to beat the result of that roll?

um ... can we please get back to discussing this line of questions in this thread? I'm realy interestet in understanding this as I am a little confused about it too...

I'd say, he has to defend against the +6 as this is the the strength of the rote maneuver...

I'd definitely suggest Supernatural Strength or Mythic Strength.  Inhuman Strength is the level of a really strong mortal, or a bunch of different faeries/monsters, or a "magically enhanced" mortal (read: werewolf).  The Hulk is absolutely above that level.

can't be paid for without major catches at the targeted power level...

At "Up to your Waiste" this guy is really tough. I would change the High Concept though. It should reflect his kinship to "The Hulk" so it can be compelled a lot when he gets into rage. I also have the slight problem that there isn't really a Hulk in the Dresden Verse. Perhaps you can make him just similar to The Hulk and call him something else. It's alright to go with Changeling/Scion but make it something different...

You should use spirit as the element behind this. Its the one that is used with photomancy, can create and manipulate light, bend light and create shadows (by pulling light away from an area).

I concur. Spirit seems to be the element that should be used here.

As to your item. I don't see why that shouldn't be possible in some way or another. Creating such an Item is certainly covered by the ruls. When you have the Enchanted Item Slots to create it you could design an apropriate effekt. Your Item might capture the shadow by use of spirit magic and impose a termporary aspect on your target: SHADOW TRAPPED. I would have to look at the details some more but I'm sure that such an item is possible.

While tossing around our PC-idias, Tsunami and I came up with an adaption of the Lycanthrope template. Instead of a wulf spirit I want my PC to be possessed by some kind of bear spirit. We called the template Arkanthrope as the Greek word for bear is Arktos.

The Template is a simple adaption of the Lycanthrope.

Riquirements: -5
Echo of the Beast (-1)
Human Form (Rare Change) (+1)
Inhuman Strength (-2)
Inhuman Recovery (-1) (Catch: Silver) ?
Inhuman Toughness (-1) (Catch like Recovery)

We decided that bears are hardly pack animals so we just droped the Pack Instinct Requirement. Human Form got reduced to a Rare Change with a discount of only +1. That is beacause we couldn't think of a good reason why the Arkanthrope would be effected by the moon like the Lycanthrope is. The Rare Change of the Arkanthrope is, that he can't use his powers during the winter months. The Spirit goes into hybernaion and leaves his vessel powerless.

The single bear is more powerfull then the lonely wulf, so we added Inhuman Toughness as a further Requirement. Thus the Arkanthrope Template costs -1 more Refresh then the Lycanthrope but is slightly more powerfull too.

I sugested Silver as the Catch for both the Inhuman Recovery and Inhuman Toughness. I find it rather difficult to come up with a catch for the Lycanthope/Arkanthrope templates and would be glad if anyone came up with a better idea then stupid booring silver.

Coments are quite welcome. I'm a bit unsure if the template is in line with the rules, especialy where Catches and the Involuntary Change are concerned.

Sorry Luminos ... I have thought about this pretty hard but it's a realy tricky one. Can you come up with a Invoke and a Compell and give us an ohter one? Please!! 

Would that be all covered by Sponsored Magic: Seelie ?

If the Fey part of the Changeling belongs to Summer i can't see why it would not be.
