A catch for speed.

Well if you want to be able to slog it out with a mortal enemy as a spellcaster and your ok with homebrew stunts then the weapons focus or weapons specialisation stunt would probably do the trick. 

That's not a bad idea at all.

I will keep that in mind.

I think I just figured out a solution for my problem.

I didn't want to take a mortal stunt because mortal stunts don't work well for supernatural characters.  They're nerfed to represent the increased FP a mortal character has.

Inhuman Speed has 4 aspects to it.  This is a +2 ability.

My solution is simple.  I just call it something different and take 2 of the abilities instead of the full for at -1 refresh!

Genius, no?  This would give me the flavoring I wanted without getting a 2 refresh ability for 1 refresh.

That sounds like a good idea.

Yep, and my wizards eat inhuman stat monsters for breakfast.  I have 2 physical and 2 wizard characters, and after the physical characters get into a position to protect the wizards it is all over but the blasting.

Wizards eat everything for breakfast.  It doesn't say a whole lot to note that inhuman powers are not as good as the best powers in the game.

Thanks

I was ridiculously proud of myself for coming up with that one.

It was an elegant solution to bypass any potential problems with my character's eventual progression.

Be careful.

Not all trappings are created equal, and one of the balancing factors for powers is that you sometimes have to pay for trappings that you don't want.

That being said, I've seen your character and I don't think you'll be inclined to munchkin. Just be aware of the precedent that you set.

Thanks for the warning.

All of the trappings for the Speed power are pretty powerful.  I don't think that I'll be stacking the deck in my favor - I don't think my GM will either.

And yeah, it seems that a focused artificer is the Glitterboy of the DFRPG... lol.

I still cannot believe how many effortless shifts of power one of those guys would be toting around.

I personally intend to keep my enchanted items to a minimum.  My character is all about self-reliance.
