Hey

i was wondering how you all handle Vails and Shields in DFA?

with shield we normaly had at a block action in Core. what do you do to create shields in DFA? make it as a advantaage action?

i just can't seem to find it in my books, but.

1. can i cast a ward on "self" and have it follow me. even wards with "mines"

2. with self buffs, how powerfull do you allow the players buff to become with befor paying FP for it.

3. do you limit Ritual casting in anyway, besides of the social aspect  of it. say the players piss of a Necromancer/wizard/evil overlord/heavy metal fan..ect. whats to stop him from just ritual casting "MEGADEATH" (besides a boring story and the social aspect of it) on the players. and lets say he was smart, he could just build a ward beforehand with 9999 shifts build over the years, and he could also hide it.

4. mac-D or burger king? 

hey, i'ts just some basic stuff, i dont get,

Declaration in combat, how powerful are they, like only limited by the GM/ST, say i have a SWAT team that uses a flash-granade to do a blind effect, how would you invoke the blind, as a tag OR as a minus to the blinded persons via FP.

also, from the YS book, dresden tags some ghosts to attack his target, that just seems really powerfull, say i am in a park and i want the dogs there to attack the a clown selling baloos, i use evocation spirit/mind to do a tag, and have the dogs attack him. how does that work, or even. a warlock places a mind binding/Declaration on a PC to force him to attack his group, normaly i would say he would have to be taken out by the warlock, but what are the limit of tags/Declaration really,

Thanks
