Stunt: Do you feel lucky, punk? Swap Guns for Intimidation when threatening someone with a firearm.

GURPS Voodoo actually has a pretty cool "secret magic" setting that could give you a ton of great ideas.  Society has been controlled by Illuminatti-esque secret practioners with different agendas.  There are also numerous spirits and in-Betweeners that have their own agendas as well.

I assume most campaigns on this forum limit a White Court Vampire's vulnerability to the opposite emotion to the emotion they can incite (example, True Love if they can incite lust, True Courage if they can incite fear, etc...

Has anyone on the board run it so that all True "good" emotions act as their Catch?  Did it go well?

I havent read the books in a while, but was Oberon or the Autumn Courts ever mentioned? If so, has other people ever used them as stories?

No official mention in the books of the Autumn court, but I have seen some speculation on this site in other threads that Oberon was the Summer Duke and that the Erlking was the Autumn Duke, and that both Courts fell.

This thread from RPGnet might be useful: https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?579537-DFRPG-Fae-Spring-and-Autumn-Courts&s=afbdb559e71ae254ce3648291fe5189a

1. During my session on Sunday, I had a player cause 12 stress on the Bridge Troll. The stress bar I think only has a stress count of 10. Since he went over, is that an automatic KO? I want to assume no and that they did that for printing sake.

Story: Wizard Brawler went to attack with Fists (+4) and roll +4 and +1 for hitting trolls. Troll defended with Fists and rolled a -3 for a total of +1. In addition to the +7, he had Weapon:5 (due to lots of strength stats) for a grand total of 13 stress hits, or 12 stress points.

You would have done 12 stress to the Troll, but I assume that the troll had Supernatural Toughness (as well as Inhuman Size) which gives him 2 points of armor, so 10 points would get through.  This would mark off his "10 box", but since the other 9 boxes are still open, he is still in the fight. 

At your discretion, the troll could also take consequences.  If said troll had elected to take a Mild Consequence (which offsets 2 stress), he could have done so and only filled in his "8 box".

If the mage brawler had done 13 points or more (11 points after armor), the troll would have to take a consequence, or be taken out.

I have an idea for a character based on Moon Knight who is the champion of Khonshu, an Egyptian moon god.  He would have Inhuman Strength, Speed, Toughness and Recovery as well as Cloak of Shadows, but only at night.  I suspect that assigning these powers under Human Form would be appropriate to get a 1 point Refresh reduction on the abilities, but could/should I also say that the circumstances are "Rare" to reflect the fact that these powers are only available at night (and get a further 1 point Refresh reduction in addition to the one above).

Can I also let the character take the Catch (only at night) on his Toughness/Recovery Powers that can be discovered/deduced with access to rare texts once the sponsor is known for an additional reduction on top of the Human Form bonus?

I'm guessing they're wizards with sponsored magic from their totem. 

Option 1: Sponsored Magic: Totem (4), plus the Sight (1)

Option 2: Evocation (3), Thaumaturgy (3), Sponsored Magic (2), the Sight (1)

The High concept would have a Must related to the Totem.  It might also dictate skills that make sense with the concept.

If you play Shadowrun, that has a few good guidelines for a Totem's  agenda (example, Bear is a Healer as well as a Warrior; Wolf is the hunter, mates for life, and only loses his last fight; Rat tends to be a filthy scrounger, etc...

One of my players in a game I run is a Bear Shaman.  He was built like this:

High Concept:   Rookie Inuit Bear Shaman

Stress:
Physical OOOO, Mental OOOO, Social OO

Leftover Refresh: 1

...can you please tell me how do I determine how much refresh do I get from my catch? I need to show my dm as proof because quite frankly he is a hard ass. Example, he tried to tell me that the catch: cold iron is probably only 2 refresh. Where I have seen on this forum that people usually get +3 refresh, I even saw in book 2 that some creatures got +3. Which is confusing because Book one is not the most clearest material in the world. Or if its only 2 then I can live with that.

Start with a value of 0.

Part 1: How common is the Catch?

• If the Catch is bypassed by something that anyone could reasonably get access to, but doesn't always have on them, you get +2. Example: Fire, Cold Iron, Metal, Salt, Wooden stakes to the heart, Wolfsbane, Silver, regular bullets, Sunlight, a specific hit location like the head, the heart or the heel.
• If it is bypassed by something that only a rare class of people have, it's only +1. Example: True Faith, True Magic, Summer or Winter Magic, Inherited Silver, Anti-Matter, Kryptonite, Admantium, knowledge of a spirit's True Name, Holy Items (assuming that Holy Items can only be created by people with some kind of True Faith).
• If it is bypassed by something that very people could produce, it's +0.  Example: A Sword of the Cross, The One Ring, Athena's Bow, Captain America's Shield
• If your catch ONLY protects you versus something specific, add an extra +2 to the value above (example: only versus fire, only versus cold, only versus poison, only vs blunt HtH attacks, etc...)

Part 2: How easy is it to research the Catch? (this value stacks with part 1)

• If anyone can find out about it (Example: it is common knowledge that vampires can be killed with a stake to the heart or sunlight; it is common knowledge that Fae are vulnerable to cold iron), you get +2 in addition to the value from how common it is.
• If it requires specific knowledge that might only be found in obscure texts or a wizard's library, you only get +1 in addition to the value for how common it is.  (Example: Harry had to speak to Bob to find that Loup Garou's are only vulnerable to Inherited Silver, or you might need to consult a specific occult text to find a spirit's True Name, etc...
• If the vulnerability can only be deduced from personal knowledge, the bonus is +0 in addition to the value for how common it is (Example: No one ever knew that the Noose that Nicodemus wears could be used to attack him, until Harry made a lucky guess).

If there are multiple vulnerabilities, I use the values for the most common and easiest to learn (example: Vampires are vulnerable to Sunlight (common), True Faith/Holy Items (rare), Fire (common), and stakes to the heart (common).  This is common knowledge.  This would be worth 4 in my opinion.

Remember that a Catch can only reduce the combined cost of Toughness and Recovery to one, so if you have a Red Court with Inhuman Toughness and Inhuman Recovery, but the vulnerabilities listed above, those vulnerabilities would only reduce the cost by 3 points instead of 4. 

Some of the values may differ from game to game.  If you can buy a rosary from a church gift shop and it is treated as a holy object, it makes holy items more common, for example (in my game holy water and other "casual" blessings only makes an item stay holy until sundown or sunrise, but something that is built with a more powerful faith ritual by someone with True Faith can retain the Holy trait).  If your campaign takes place in a city with a silver mine nearby, maybe silver is easily available, and inherited silver might be more common.

I hope this helps.[/list][/list]
