Ok so this is what I come up with so far:

Charter Magic: Two areas: Evocation (+3), Thaumaturgy (for Wall Magic) (+3) are for a "master charter mage" like one of royal blood. Most other charter mages would have a specific Ritual (for wards etc) or a chanelling (for healing, Fire, etc). Specializaitons/refinements would be bonus's to healing, a specific element of the charter, Thaumaturgy in general things like that.

The Claryr site is a Psychic ability not Spell casting.

Free Magic: Again two areas for master free mages: Evocation (+3), Thaumaturgy (Summon and binding Free Magic Elementals). But Free Magic would also be more generally seen as specific channellings or rituals. Refinements would be specific parts of Free Magic like summoning, Destruction, Mind Control. Things like that.

Bell Magic (Or Necromancy): I thought long and hard about this and decided that given the feel of hte novels and the idea that the bells while not exactly sentient do make the user do things they do not want to if the bells are not used properly, I have decided to make Bell Magic like a Sponsered Magic (It gives a +1 Evocation/+1 Complexity for Thaumuatury for effects/trappings specifically related to the effects of the Bells (I can post what the Bells cover if anyone wants). Also like you can use certain skills to boost other skills, Bell Magic can be used to "seal" or "enhance" both Free or Charter Magic in the same way. Bell Magic is also the way you Bind, Banish or summon the Dead (a combination of Evocation and Thaumuaturgy and like say Kimmerlian Necromancy Bell Magic allows you to do some Thamuaturgic rituals as fast as evocation as long as it is stricly along the trappings of the Bell or Neromantic). The cost is +2 if you already are a Charter Mage or Free Mage or more if you do not have those as per the normal rules for sponsored magic.

Bell Magic would also be specific for either Charter Magic (A combination of the Free Magic of Bells and Charter to contain them) or 100% Free Magic! Bells while "sponsored magic" are also a physically enchanted Item as well.

I am still working on things like the Dead (Metamorphic horror's that can eat life itself and grow powerfull, eventually becoming greater dead), Shadow Hands ( A more powerful version of the dead that have many abilities but do not need a corpse to be in Life, can instantly suck the life out of some one killing instantly and Free Magic Elementals (which have a unlimited array of things but are strongly able to shift their shape).

Anyone here familiar with the trilogy by Garth Nix called The Old Kingdom or The Abhorsen series? I really enjoyed those novels and was thinking of using the fate system ala DFRPG to create a campgain for my players.


I am just starting out and wanted to know if anyone else had already done this or if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks !

Cheers

Hi everyone I have some links to the fillable character pdfs for some of my characters, if you wouldnt mind having a look and letting me know what you think. I think one of the most difficult parts was coming up with Phase Aspects that could work during game play some of the aspects my players came up with I just cant see how I would work them in a game. If you can prehaps suggest a way of doing so or maybe a alternative approach. For the moment here is the first character:

EDIT I was sent a private message telling me the links were busted will post them later then. Im pretty sure they were working before.

Carefully read The Catch.  It clearly says "This will give you a discount on the total cost of any and all Toughness category powers that you take..."

Recovery powers are under the Toughness Category.

So if I wanted to apply this to other power categories where catch's are not normally used like either spell casting or faeire powers would it work the same way?

Ok just a quick question on how catch's work for supernatural powers. Lets start with the Toughness group, lets say I have +4 Catch (its somthing everyone can get and its easy to find out about it) Silver bypass's my recovery/tougness. Lets say I buy Supernatural Recovery (-4) and Inhuman Toughness (-2). Now does the Catch appy to each power seperately or to the total cost of the powers section for toughness? Ie the +4 Catch reduces the Supernatural Recovery to -1 and Tougness to -1? For a total of -2?

How does this work for other power categories that may have catch's like say Faerie does the catch apply to the whole category or individually (so in the above case the +4 Catch is over kill as it would reduce the Recovery to 0 and the toughness to +2, which is not allowed as the min cost is -1).

Is my question clear is the abyssal mud of dead R'lyeh?

I ask every game store in Australia I could find a phone number for, none have anything like fudge dice. So I need to get it from Evil Hat myself at this stage it seems or is there some where else?

Does your starting level for your stress's (mental, social, Physical) really only equal the bonus of the assoicated skill, meaning if some one doesnt have the skill they have no stress? Or is there a misprint in my book or did I miss a rule somewhere?

Thanks for your help
