Possibly the plan is to wait until the last novel has been written, so as to cover everything that will need updating?

Something that would be worth doing, at least by fans, would be writing up local monsters and cities for the dresdenverse; frex I could do up the bunyips as a fun critter for OZ.

So, the mentality has to happen before the magic does?

Surely the Lawbreaker stunts are the exact opposite of this? Magic changing who you are?

Assuming that Lawbreaker is merely the most extreme form of change makes sense; yes, you can become a psychopath by killing people, but also more emotional via fire etc.

The place were it would really matter is with Sponsored Magic; hence Harry's fear for both himself and Molly re: Winter.

This would be a sneaky way to get around the 3rd Law, rather than modifying an apprentice, order them to perform spells that inspire the changes you want. Since they are choosing to obey, it's a natural shift.

Of course, they're going to be really bad at spells that are contrary to what they are - hmm, Molly's bracelet is now disturbing. Especially given most of Harry's training was from DuMorne, and that's where he'd be getting the techniques from.
Oh, sod. DuMorne wanted Elaine and Harry in the sack together, so if Harry has been teaching Molly spells DuMorne designed for Elaine, that would explain why a childhood crush has lasted for a decade....

In addition to 2nding g33k's "why so much detail?" question, I have another *when* in the Middle Ages? It's Ages - plural - for a good reason. Anglo-Saxon? The Anarchy? The Hundred Years War? The War of the Roses? Tudor times?
You can be fighting with a war axe or an arquebus, repelling invasions or conquering your neighbours, repelling vikings or moors, establishing the King's Peace or rebelling against him. Each era is a different world.

A few ideas

The rainbow[-1]
This is constantly crossing the globe, inspiring people. Some fortunate individuals may trigger the rainbow more than once in their life. It counts as an 'unowned' item, so those affected have their refresh drop by 1 while being influenced by the Rainbow, but this is immediately restored an exchange later.

[-0] Purpose: To inspire and protect mortals
[-0] What it is: a...the rainbow
[-0] Unbreakable: Well, you can split the light, but it'll still be a rainbow.
[+2] Item of Power
[-1] Soulgaze Any two people who can be soulgazed and are looking at a rainbow are drawn into a Soulgaze; however rather than seeing each other, they see the rainbow, and rather than inflicting mental stress, a successful attack places a 'inspired by beauty' manoeuvre on the other gazer, unless
[-0] The Catch: if a gazer either has or intends to drown somebody, they take mental stress instead of the manoeuvre. The Rainbow can and will attack a murderer multiple times, using a different other human each time.

Seelie Police Oath Bible [-1]

[-0] Purpose: To witness the oaths of new police officers, and to help them keep the oath.
[-0] What it is: A King James Bible (still legally required in some parts of the British Commonwealth)
[-0] Unbreakable: cover is dimpled from a bullet shot.
[+2] Item of Power
[-0] Sidhe item Oaths sworn on the Bible are witnessed by the Seelie; they can be compelled as Aspects, and the swearer can spend Fate points on actions taken to fulfill their oath.
[-0] The Catch: Officers who violate their oath will be constantly Compelled to confess and/or resign. An officer who makes the legally appropriate restitution will no longer suffer this Compel.

Unseelie Changeling Courtroom Oath Bible [-1]

[-0] Purpose: To witness the oaths of witnesses in the law courts, and to enslave those who lie under oath
[-0] What it is: A King James Bible (still legally required in some parts of the British Commonwealth)
[-0] Unbreakable: Owners have been know to break weapons on the Bible when challenged to combat over an enslavement, to demonstrate that oaths are more powerful than violence.
[+2] Item of Power
[-0] Sidhe item Oaths sworn on the Bible are witnessed by an Unseelie Changeling; they can be compelled as Aspects, and the swearer can spend Fate points on actions taken to fulfill their oath.
[-3] Changeling Nature Those holding the Bible can - and if oathbroken, must - take Powers from the owning Changeling's power package, limited to those permitted by the possessing Changeling and to a maximum of 3 points. Typically the owner loads oathbreaker up with any Creature Stunts, to make them more useful minions, and (by reducing their refresh) reduce their ability to defy their new master. (The Changeling need not yet have taken the Stunts, merely have inherited them).
[-0] The Catch: If the oathbreaker can somehow confess to the courts their lies, they can 'choose' to once more be vanilla mortal, shedding the Stunts. Owners frequently add the Claws Power to their new minions so that they can no longer speak nor write - and even if oathbreaker can manage to confess, they will then face the legal consequences of lying to the law courts.

Healing Spring [-1]
[-0] Purpose: To heal the suffering
[-0] What it is: a natural spring
[-0] Unbreakable:
[+2] Item of Power
[-6] Mythic Regeneration Anyone bathing in the spring is healed of nearly any injury, so long as the owner spends a Fate point on their behalf.
[-3] The Catch: Holy items [+1], immediately obvious to anyone who has ever heard of the spring [+2]

As inspired by the Chronomancy thread

 Crystal Ball[-1]
[-0] Purpose: To know the future
[-0] What it is: a crystal ball
[-0] Unbreakable:
[+2] Item of Power
[-0] Cassandra's Tears
[-3] Lawbreaker 2nd, 4th and 6th Laws, providing +3 shifts to all - including getting more information from the Cassandra's Tears Power, and to persuading other to believe the prophecy. Using this item will rapidly earn any mortal spellcaster Lawbreaker stunts.

 A high crafting result could certainly justify an Item of Power; given they're paid for with refresh, as GM I'd have no problems with an obsessive character managing to create one, so long as it meshed with their nature.

By the game mechanics, a mob of mortals is sitting on shedloads of fate points, so simply describe whatever sounds amusing and announce that the mortals have spend 20+ fate points to back that as multiple Aspects.

Well, they'd keep the Aspect-based corruption from their law-breaking. But I don't see much point in docking their Refresh.

Hmm, the whole justice/mercy debate I suppose.

On the flipside, I wonder whether Changelings are encouraged to break the 7th Law, so that they'll be more powerful cannonfodder at the Gates? After all, teach them 6 things, and they are 2 refresh closer to Choosing, and gain +2 on all spells during the fighting. Presumably the Seelie are only in danger if they show talent at healing, and from Unseelie 'recruiters'.

Yeah, completely ignore the no talking rule. Given it says that it is to speed play, and talking can speed play, there seems no reason to use it.

(oh, did a basic review of tactics for the game, would be interested in knowing of strategies I've missed): https://fishlivejournal.livejournal.com/79982.html
