Probably also something about how he craves stimulation, whether from an interesting case or from drugs.
A very good idea. It'll also be interesting to see him trying to track down cocaine in the modern world, he comes from a place where it was legal.
He definitely needs a higher than mediocre Presence. I would drop Conviction and exchange it for Presence. He can defend against mental assualts with Discipline, but I don't think his psyche is as hardy as all that.
You're probably right about this, I think I'll edit Presence instead of Conviction. Mostly due to reputation, even out of his own time if people believe that he is in fact really Sherlock Holmes (Which would probably take some convincing with normals) he would probably be able to rely on his name alone for various beneficial effects.
I also think having both Weapons and Fists is probably unnecessary. I would give him Fists with a couple of stunts and switch Weapons for... wait for it... Drive. Obviously this doesn't represent him being a racecar driver, but rather his ability to acquire and utilize intimate knowledge of the city where he lives. He knows where every street goes, can navigate shortcuts, jknows where every business is located, and so on. Though I suppose you could instead take a stunt allowing him to use Scholarship in place of Drive for purposes of navigation.
If you did that, then give him Intimidation instead. Holmes was pretty good at staring people down.
I see where you're coming from with this one, but I think I'll have to disagree. While his knowledge of London is supreme, it's the knowledge of London of well over a hundred years ago. I'm not sure that's going to be very useful outside of old landmarks and the basic layout of the city. I agree that the weapon skill is a waste and only included it because he's supposed to be a very capable swordsman, though on reflection I think I'll replace it with Intimidation as that is a very good idea and gives him more of a Holmes-y feel.
I don't think I'll give him any fists stunts to back up his fighting though as he only has 2 refresh left. He was supposed to be an expert boxer (with a knowledge of at least one obscure martial art) but having read many of the stories I never really saw him as a martial artist.
Thanks for the input, very helpful.
