How often does the WCVs' version of the Catch really come up in play?  As I've read it from the novels, it only applies when the WCV is attempting to feed (in terms of the RPG, using Emotion Vampire).  So how often will this really apply in game to limit a WCV's Inhuman Recovery (or Supernatural Recovery for an advanced WCV)?

I've got an urge to fill the brute role in my group, and with this game and setting, that hasn't really been covered by any of the starring roles (PCs) of the novels (unless I really missed it).  So the idea my friend and I have been rattling around involves a Jotun-Blooded Scion (yeah, a Norse half-giant of the frosty persuasion).  Largely (heh) the frost aspect will only show up in the Catch (the guy is still flesh and blood, not made of ice or anything of the sort).  Here is the list of powers being considered:

Hulking Size [-2]
Human Form [+1]*
Supernatural Strength [-4]
The Catch: Fire [+3]
Inhuman Recovery [-2]
Supernatural Toughness [-4]

* Supernatural Strength and Supernatural Toughness are limited to Inhuman Strength and Inhuman Toughness while in Human Form and Hulking Size is unavailable.

In his giant form, the Jotun-Blooded Scion has Endurance 4 with Hulking Size and Supernatural Toughness.  This creates the following physical stress track:

OOOOOO(OOOO)

In Human Form, this creates the following physical stress track:

OOOO(OO)

Can someone shed a little light on how stress translates across the switch from giant-size to human-size?  The book covers it a bit, but I'm not really sure I'm getting it.  Do the #5 and #6 boxes temporarily drop off and the #7 & #8 boxes now slide over?

Lastly, the value of the the Catch seems reasonable to me, but I wanted to check with what others might think.  Since this is a somewhat obscure creature but it still features in myths, I figured that the +1 for being in a library would go with the +2 for nearly everyone being able to get fire for a sum of +3.  This prices it at the same value as Cold Iron, but my own feeling is that Cold Iron should perhaps be a +4 considering how well-known the Fae weakness is and how easily available steel tends to be in the modern world, so...

And, for the optimizers out there, yes, I do realize that I gain nothing by having the Human Form reduce my Strength and Toughness levels from Supernatural to Inhuman.  This is being done for theme as well as to bypass a GM-imposed 'soft ban' on PCs having Supernatural or Mythic levels of Speed, Strength, Recovery, or Toughness.  He's OK with me having them, but only in my hulked-out 12' form since that has a number of drawbacks to go with it.

Since the word drafted is used, it might be that the Wardens only push it during wartime.

If I want a True Fae (rather than a Changeling) as a PC and my character still has a Refresh > 0, is there any mechanical or in-game reason that I could not do so?   I know the GM can always declare certain things off limits, but I'm more asking if there's anything inherent to such 'monsters' that would make them unplayable when they still have positive Refresh (and the degree of free will that comes with it).
