Probably not unless it was inherited and made of silver.Warden swords are a bit special in this particular case as...
Cutting through the enchantment would end the curse - not meet the catch requirements. And I don't really see a warden sword as being capable of breaking a multigenerational curse capable of complete transformation. :)Your just cutting through a small part of it though, the recovery could kick in and repair the damage to the curse. I highly doubt it would be able to kill one, hurt though... maybe
That said, if it happened to be your mom's sword passed on to you...it may well meet the catch requirements.

Tess?
As an aside though, I wonder how a Knight of the Cross would fare against the monster?
By the rules of the All Creatures Are Equal Before God it should satisfy the catch of the Loup Garou's Phyiscal Immunity, after all the Swords are meant to bypass everything.That's exactly as I see it, too.

Yeah, that is my guess too... but that sounds too easy somehow...
One of my Characters is Brian Moman, who makes Shaft look like Bee Arthur. Brian will use his mighty intellect and manly good looks to tear the Loup apart with his bare hands
The swords aren't made of silver. There is a woj kicking around about them the latter half of which talks about their mundane side.
To paraphrase "They are made with the best available alloys at the time of their construction by a master of the craft.
It would be helpful if someone could search serack's thread for the actual quote. That is a little challenging to do from my phone.
Huh, I didn't know you payed attention to this forum.
Or do you just have a quasi-magical ability to sense when people need WoJ help?
Jim goes into very great detail about Warden Swords in the books. Can't remember what book it is but it is very specific and repeated in many of them. I do recall them being referred to as "silver sword of the Wardens" Dead Beat, chapter 39.
Captain Luccio explains to Harry about Warden swords in White Knight! Check out Chapter 22 of White Knight if you want to know why. That will explain everything without me posting spoilers! I can state that they are definitely not mass produced and it is very unlikelyt for them to be inherited.
Will Harry get a sword?
He can't because Luccio can't make them any more. I suppose he could use another warden's sword if he became enough like them. Morgan's sword for example (smirk). If he shared the same kind of psychological profile as Morgan, if he ever got beat into that shape, he could probably be able to pick up his sword and use it. Naw Harry is more of a gun guy really.
Will someone please go to the WOJ topic. Then type "jimbutcher wardens" into the search function. The 7th item that comes is a link to jims post in a thread.
Re:DF: magical items
please quote or link to it since my device will not.
thanks in advance.
QuoteSwords - All Wardens prior to Harry are armed with a sword which is (Per Jim) "super good for cutting through/disrupting fields of magical energy. They rip through magic-charged ectoplasm of the nevernever, like the kind demons make when they need a body to inhabit in the real world, like there's no tomorrow. Otherwise, they are simply swords created by a master of the craft with centuries of experience from the finest alloys available at the time of their creation." As Luccio explained in White Night, these swords are unique for each Warden, and were all made by Luccio. With her recent body-swap, Luccio no longer has the ability to make more swords, thus Harry has not been provided with one. Luccio refers to her "design", implying that there is a common language for creating such items, and therefore another wizard may be able to make these swords in the future.
They don't cut through anything. They are super good for cutting through/disrupting fields of magical energy. They rip through magic-charged ectoplasm of the nevernever, like the kind demons make when they need a body to inhabit in the real world, like there's no tomorrow. Otherwise, they are simply swords created by a master of the craft with centuries of experience from the finest alloys available at the time of their creation.

And there we have it...8)
Thanks Serack! I'm still going with the idea that the Inherited Sword was made with enough Silver to do the job as it was made pre-Luccio and also because a Fate Point was spent to make it so. I don't have a huge issue with this as it's current owner is a pure mortal so it's just a really well-made sword with silver in it. I could always have it explode dramatically...8)
Part of macfinn's curse was that the bloodline would never die. That doesn't mean that the same thing applies for all loup garou.
Sounds like a fun battle.I dont remember, so you couldnt get to it? I forget.
Why was the nigh invincible monster's heart in a jar?
I think it bears mention that a "pure mortal" in this system can be quite nasty with enough refresh, stunts and skill. All the powers in the world don't help if you can't roll defense or attack to save your life (literally).
Example: mortal with 5 to 6 in a skill versus something or someone with a 3-4.
Not saying a Loup Garou should have low skills, but it easily could if hte GM decided to use it in a lower powerl level game or in one with mostly mortals. It is just a tweak to stats afterall.
I understand what you are saying, but why in the frickin' heck would you use a loup-garou in a low-power game?! And why tone it down? Use hexenwulfs instead. If there ever was one creature meant to singularly inspire fear and awe, it is a loup-garou. If a Pure Mortal takes off an arm of such a creature... Let's just say: way beyond suspension of disbelief, IMO1.The mortal was the one and only Brian Moman

2. He was using a 50bmg anti armor inherited silver round from a 50cal sniper rifle and had good rolls and tagged a bunch of stuff and had placed temp aspects on the thing. Also he was in fighting several big Nashua so it was a cheap shot.
