SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNN
 

So are we getting sample chapters for taw? 


Cause by my count that would mean august would be the start.

Anyone have any idea?

Woah.  Cool call.  Combined with the "wherever you go there you are" point Griff brought up, this makes for 3 flags for placing Uriel on the scene.

Sounds legit to me.   Are there any other places specifically mentioned "old men" pop up for a second?    DB there's the guy that sells pumpkins and helps harry to his car.  Any more?

Either that or he had something really big going on with the mound-builder civilisations that failed  spectacularly, I suppose.

(Nicodemus with his plague habit connected to collapse and death of native American cultures on contact with European diseases ?  The Little Ice Age starting when all those Native Americans weren't using fires and in many cases slash-and-char agriculture and ending when the Industrial Revolution started replenishing those greenhouse gases again as an echo of stuff going on in Faerie ?  Interesting direction, but not enough ahd data to go on.)

OK, I had forgotten that, and that certainly counts as a boost more than just psychological.

I don't think we have any real evidence to distinguish that from Thomas always having been that good and just going to great lengths to hide it, though.  It's pretty clear that he's been doing the "useless party animal" act for a long time to avoid being taken as a threat. (I can see Maggie planning Thomas being as strong a White Court vampire as she could make him, and being born on Valentine's Day seems like it should give him a boost there too.)

Thats certainly an interesting WAG.  Or maybe he had something to do with Eric the Red going to newfoundland? Either way very interesting.



I figured just like with the other flavors of supes we've seen, that age would translate to some extra juice/ability.  Blacks seem to run by age, Reds do certainly (though they also use prestige/bloodline which presumably the blacks do as well with the master thing) I figured the white court wouldn't be too terribly different.  Certainly LR kept it together for 30 years + without any food and with some power use (he used it on the fam after all to say nothing of his "hunting trips" with thomas or any other use he might have had) and without going batshit nuts, whereas thomas couldn't handle that during DB.  Not at all.  He was like a junkie trying real hard not to look at the bag of smack and the fresh needle on the table in front of him.  Whereas LR was always cold as ice and while monstrous, not exactly as coo coo for cocoa puffs as say RK was.   I figured his gas tank got bigger as he aged, at the very least, same thing with Lara.  Seems like Thomas maybe didn't pick up an outside the realm of possibility for whampires buff but more along the lines of "here's a few free levels/points" .   Just spitballing.

The proposed object of the exercise is for a starborn human (which appears to principally mean, thus far, one with seriously atypical power over/resistance against Outsiders) to have as much access as possible to as many of the various magical power sources as the DF has.

Hence Harry, thus far, is a strong wizard (Maggie's genetics plus lots of exercise); has experienced Hellfire and later been granted soulfire; has some familiarity with necromancy; has faith magic from his faith in what magic is for (lighting up his pentacle); and most recently  acquired a Winter mantle.  All of which are things he can use more efficiently against Outsiders than almost anyone else because of the starborn-ness.

You missed a new source: DR and the Warden mantle.   And possibly a small buff from the wild hunt, afterall thomas picked up a LITTLE somethin somethin (enhanced senses maybe? he seems... sharper I guess after DB) and he just joined up.  Harry didn't just join it, he led it for a bit.  At the behest of santa odin and Herne who pretty much shanghaied him into it.  Maybe a slightly tougher buff? 
Is there any sort of WOJ on how harry picked up TOOTs true name?  Cause toot has saved his bacon a number of times. 

I am not so sure I would agree that the bound Denarians don't try to 'force' their desires on someone.  As we've seen from the novels, there are two basic camps amongst the Denarians.  Some of the members of the order are known by the name of the host (Nick, his wife Tess, and their daughter Deirdre...) while others are known by the member of the Fallen associated with the coin the host picked up.  The basic difference between the two camps is that members known by the host's name are known that way because the host and the Fallen have a partnership.  The others whom are just known by their Fallen are they way because the Fallen personality has completely subjugated the host and taken 'the drivers seat..."

Given that some of the Fallen were in control, it does suggest to me that, depending on the sort of personality the GM wants the Denarian to have, there could be internal battles of will between the character and the onboard Denarian.  If that is the case, then something like Demonic Co-pilot could model the situation rather well.

But that could be simply the result of poor choices on the persons part.   Look at

We actually know for a fact that Mouse's was too weak in a variety of ways (he's a full Foo dog, not a hybrid), but even the hybrid version has a poor man's Sword of the Cross in it's ability to automatically satisfy something's Catch...a factor that more than explains the Ick's damaged state, particularly if you add in my contention that Mouse clearly has Inhuman Strength.

he's actually probably got the whole kit and kabootle (strength and speed and most certainly toughness.  recovery idk since we never see him Wolverine it up, but we do know that he can get hit by a speeding fan and still kick ass all night.) and i'd almost certainly bump him from inhuman to supernatural on the speed.  Personally I think both Thomas and Mouse need a touch up since changes.  (Thomas was ALOT stronger and faster imo.  if he had inhuman before, I think getting in touch with his inner Lord Raith bumped him up to supernatural at least).

Idk the bust the catch thing is good but he straight savaged that ick so bad it ran away from him like a scared little girl.  Personally I think thats a reflection of the quickness with which mouse can move and strike especially working in tandem with thomas who is also superfast, and the ponderousness of the Ick. 

so i majorly changed my character and i need more gun styles besides barrage and sniper, anyone got any ideas?

well theres gunslinger (old west style.  use 2 revolvers and lots of quickdraws.   Watch the "for a fistful of dollars" or the outlaw josey wales.  The first time clint eastwood plugs 4 dudes in a bout 2 seconds you'll be hooked)

Or Pistolier (single pistol, semi auto, well placed shots.  think murphy)

or the ever popular "double tap?  with this thing?"  (check out heavy calibre guns, like the Desert Eagle which runs up to .50 Action Express and is semi automatic, or the Taurus Raging Bull chambered in .454 casull.   It'll stop an elephant, but it won't break your arm and they make a model with a tiny tiny barrel for concealed carry.)

Then theres the automatics (like assault rifles.  Used properly they should NEVER be barraged or spray and prayed.   That don't work.   Disciplined fire is what works.  Quick, accurate bursts of fire.   IF your guy has ex military in his write up, i'd use this)
