Emissary of Power?
« on: June 30, 2010, 07:40:37 PM »
The Emissary  of Power says that you can get mostly any supernatural stunt, the question is about Spellcraft.

Say if you have Evocation (or Thaumaturgy) can you take Refinement, and if so are their any limitations (my own personal opinion is no limitations, but I’m obviously biased ;D)?

Any offical answer? What say ye`!

None beyond what your GM will allow. The Templates are really more in the way of guidelines anyway.

So ultimately there is no ‘final ruling’ and its up the GM to decide…so what would you allow?

It depends on that of which the character is Emissary.

A scion to Amatsu Mikaboshi and Jade Court assassin/loose cannon.

As much as you like. It's pretty justified with that as a rationale.

In context of the Dresdenverse Amatsu-Mikaboshi feels almost like an Outsider. What with the whole "shapeless malevolent force" aspect of the myths. Not sure if that's anything you'd want to incorporate or not, just something the struck me while reading the wiki page.

One can also say the Abrahamic ‘God’ is also a Outsider (what with it’s screwed up ‘walling-banging’ logic and all that), and the Knights of the Cross should all be destroyed (at least that’s ‘my’ plan  ;D).

While the entity is mostly malevolent it does actually seem to have more positive-minded attributes associated with it (by context Amatsu-Mikaboshi is the source of virtually all emotions, positive and negative), and would be much better source of finding out the “truth” of the Universe than ‘others’ sources.

Admittedly for my original choice I was told that the “Flying Spaghetti Monster” was not a viable.

Damn, I so love that idea :-)
Theoretically just as viable as any other Source... though maybe a bit out of canon for the Dresden Files *g*

I can't see 'noodly appendage' in the supernatural powers list :(
