Title: Invoking(Compelling) Stunts?
Post by: aardvark on November 01, 2010, 08:47:10 AM

So, we can Invoke someone aspect if we know it. Can we go further and invoke someone stunt if we know it? Or maybe even Compell it?
Example: C has an Subtle Menace Stunt, we know it and "wannabecreative": "Yuck! No offence man, you scare me a lot!" and get +2 for invoking Subtle Menace on Empathy roll?

Thoughts anyone?

You can't compel stunts. However, it is fairly likely that C has an other aspect that is somehow linked to the stunt. That aspect you may compel.

Can you clear up your example a bit please? It doesn't make much sense to me. Perhaps it a question of understanding. Generally you definitely can't compel stunts, since they are linked to skills and not like many powers linked to aspects.

EDIT: cleared up a typo.
