Not at all. You get 2 focus item slots for each channeling and ritual, so if you have either, you have 2, if you have both, you have 4.

Lore determines how many focus item slots you may put on 1 focus item. So with a lore of 4 and 4 focus item slots from channeling and ritual, you could put all of them on 1 focus item. This is kind of important, because you can't use more than one focus item on one spell.

So if I'm a Channeller with 4 Lore, I can make a +5 staff and a +1 Wand? Or a +3 on both? Is that what that means?

Calling them "slots", I think, is what's really confusing.

We just shift our PCs to NPC status when DMing. That way, they're still there and can hop in, but I tend to make the campaigns to that the other players play to THEIR strengths, with my guy only chiming in to help move things along.

Ours are one-day, three-hour stories. Nothing too in-depth, but you can have overarching shadow-plots that come into play, where the thing you saw in this one campaign comes back ten stories later.

My group ran "Pizza Night" this week, with slight tweaks to fit our campaign setting, and they loved it.

I stated the fairies with Inhuman Speed, Diminutive Size, and +4 Athletics and Fists, but then I gave them one stress box each (and DS gave them one damage). So they were hard as hell to hit and dodge, but they didn't hit very hard and getting hit once took them out. They loved the new dynamic of that, too. I made four of them, different colors, (and named them Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde), and they'd ended up trapping one and taking another out before forcing the other two to talk, eventually spilling the beans on why they were there and who sent them. Our players ended up putting a glamour over themselves to look like Oberon and Titania, plus an Ogre and two Elf archers, to scare the piss out of the otherwise-mortal pizza owner who hired the pixies.

Oh, and it was a bunch of fun role-playing the pixies, too. "Brothers! Attack the swordy one!" "Sisters, the pretty one speaks of pizzas!" "The old one has a table! Look out, cousins!"

I heartily recommend it. We're going to try the auction one soon. I'm not terribly impressed with the other two ideas, personally, though I might do up a version of Ghosts in the Shell somewhere down the line.

(Harry knocks someone out in a Neutral Ground).

Are you talking about Morgan in Storm Front? That doesn't count at all, because they're of the same faction (they're both White Council). It's only if one signatory attacks another that the violations occur, and then only if the offended party chooses to seek reparations. At least, that's how I'd always interpreted it.

Hey, if it can work for them:



Difference is, Wolverine's got that indestructible skeleton and quick-healing factor.

Here is an idea.

An Ectomancer who lost control and now has multiple spirits, some benevolent, some sadistic possessing him. While he has come to a sort of an arrangement to retain primary control of his body, these spirits do occasionally act out and do there own thing.

I'm so making that my next character.

Okay, I had originally read something somewhere in the books that led me to the conclusion that invoking an Aspect could give the player a +2 to a roll (or some other bonuses that aren't really important at the moment), but Tagging a temporary Aspect gave a +1.

Tonight, during a session, one of my players argued this point and directed me towards page 106 of Your Story, where Harry tags for a +2. This resulted in two other group members, who had originally thought as I did, to suddenly agree with him. So I let it go and ran with it, but now, I'm completely unable to recall where I read the +1 or even find it again.

Here I thought I had this Aspect stuff figured out and now there's this curveball flipping things upside-down on me. Can someone set me straight so I don't make this mistake again?

Thanks!

Yeah, how should we submit this stuff? Just post it in here, or should we sign up to edit the wiki?
