Isn't there a WoJ saying that is something is powerful enough it could easily bulldoze it's way through a threshold?  That it would still be weakened by crossing through, but a moot point against something that can blow up the entire city you're in by speaking a single word.

Though admittedly, this doesn't really fall into the power range of a Shadow Person.  But it does suggest that thresholds are not 100% immune to loopholes.

So, do you really have a problem with Stone Sleep, or do you have a problem with Recovery powers in general? A changeling or other such template with broad power access can get Supernatural Recovery with a large catch and thereby heal just as fast. Faster, in fact, as the guy with Supernatural Recovery only has to wait a scene, not a whole day. Is that "abuse"?

No no, when you break down the catch it seems pretty fair.  I think reading it then seeing the cost caused initial sticker shock due to the catch not being shown separate.

I definitly like the idea.  But if you're trying to make it as a playable character I'm skeptical to be honest.  Playing a character who can't take part in any daytime scenes at all doesn't sound very fun.  But as a NPC t works great.

Also Stone Sleep seems sort of all over for a -1 power.  The face that it just heals All but extreme consequences every 24 hours is a huge deal.  I would be reluctant to let a player take an ability like that for fear of it being abused.

"Oh, we found the Warlocks lair and need to go storm it?  Let's sit around doing nothing and wait until tomorrow night to do it so I'm fully healed."

Not even if thrown?

especially not of thrown!  That would be child abuse and definitly not an act oftrue love. XD

Hey being mean to the troll worked for Harry....

Very much agree with making the villain important to the PC's.  One thing I've always said about what makes a great villain great: The best villains always think they are the heroes.  They see the PC's as the villains, or misguided idealists at the very least.

Give the villain some kind of redeeming quality or moral grey area.  Magneto is a very good example of this.  Or keeping it in the Dresdenverse, Lara Raith or John Marcone are both good examples.

Also from a more mechanical standpoint, always make sure the villain has some sort of ace in the hole to give to the players.  Usually It's information or whatever maguffin the players are trying to get a hold of.  This lets you compel the hell out of the players to let the villain live to scheme another day.

You could make a pretty good arguement that the aspect is on the zone you're standing in and not on the targets themselves.  Letting you tag it once to move every target in the zone one then spending fate points any time you want to do it again for as long as the spell duration is active.

You'll get a lot of different opinions on how a spell like this works.  That's the beauty of how magic in The game works.

I personally would say 2 shifts to make it an zone effect, then on shift for each zone EACH target is moved.

So if you want to move two targets one zone away.  +2 for zone effect, +2 to move 2 targets one zone each.  Total would be a 4 shift spell.  However with a design like that it would be near impossible to make it a rote spell.
