She seems to have the same kind of complete immunity to pain Harry's gotten as Winter Knight. I stat that as Inhuman Toughness, as it seems the closest power to model that sort of effect.
Where? Is it when she cries out in pain after the Grendelkin breaks her arm and is then defenseless for the rest of that story? Or is it when she's clearly in too much pain to do much when her guts are hanging out?
Have you read Even Hand? If not, read it, if so, re-read it. This is exactly what the axe does in that story in her final confrontation with the Fomor lord. You could argue it counterspells instead...but that doesn't match the way the fight went nearly as well.
I haven't, so fair enough. I posit, though, that the axe in Heorot was not the same axe as the one in Even Hand, since she loses that first axe.
She doesn't, knowing it's immune, which was sorta my point. Which was that that fight said little or nothing about her magical capabilities.
I don't think she knew at all that it was immune--you'd think during that whole information session thing before the fight, she might have mentioned that to Harry.
Also, why does Harry then speculate that the axe, as an enchanted and runic weapon, is specifically what the Grendelkin's catch might be? She wounds it so it's clearly bleeding--meaning that she must have done a solid 14 shifts of damage if it wasn't a catch to it. So either she rolled as high as she possibly could while the Grendelkin rolled low, or it did indeed have an effect on its own Toughness power. And, again, the axe used there was not the same axe as in Even Hand.
Ghouls (our basic Supernatural Recovery example) recover from being disemboweled quicker than that. A day's about right for Inhuman Recovery plus Severe Consequences anyway, due to the way it works, Supernatural would result in her recovering in a single scene after receiving the wound (so she would've been better after the first scene we saw her in)...it took longer than that. Inhuman results in it being healed in a session, which sounds about right.
They recover that quickly
after treatment. Remember that Harry first finds her while she's still treating herself, and getting her out of the house only aggravates her injury--she probably didn't start healing at all until she got to the Carpenters and had her wound sealed up. By the next day or so, she's on her feet. Remember that a "scene" is a fluid thing--it could mean an hour, but it could also mean the next day.
True...but even on such consequences there's usually talk of the wound knitting together or some such. There isn't with Gard.
Where are you getting this from? We don't really see
anything regenerating right in the middle of a fight like that, short of the Uber Ghouls, which are noted as being an exception for being able to do that, and the White King, who's also supposed to be somewhat above and beyond normal.
Again, we only ever see Gard get wounded in such ways that she needs some kind of outside treatment--a broken arm with the bone sticking out, and her intestines spilling out, neither of which can really just regenerate.
That assumes an ability to use Evocation, which, since she's never used it, I'm assuming she can't. The version here is sponsored Thaumaturgy/Ritual alone, which makes it -2.
I suggest you take another look at the Sponsored Magic list. I helped to write the current version of Rune Magic, which is still -4 and does account for the lack of Evocation.
