I believe Morgan's Stomp Rote allows for such variation

It seems to me the solution is to add a condition to FP refinement. It works normally but is lost if the character progresses beyond Ritual or Channeling. This would represent the loss of focus in order to become a more generalist sorcerer. For higher and power more "realism" they could be retained but the PC would lose the option to purchase more until they fulfill the qualifications for full wizard. This would reflect the greater experience with the chosen theme/element and the need to spend time broadening ones skill. These changes are logical to maintain internal consistency. An FP of equal refresh cost should be able to mop the floor with a generalist wizard with in his own specialty. The wizards advantage comes from breadth of options and flexibility but it stands to reason that a pyromancer of equal experience should be able to do things with fire that would astound a full wizard. if one practiced making a basket blindfolded and backwards from half court all day everyday you should be able to repeat this feat at will something not even an NBA player could duplicate however this does not make you ready to play for the bulls. 

Saedar Thank you for the well reasoned response. The research analogy is a good one.

Why the hell is it so damn hard for people just to play by the damn rules! why does every other thread on this board devolve into "here is why the Laws do not apply to my character."? If it helps use the characters from the books as your guide. Cowl is dead because he was a evil necromancer who tried to consume the souls of human beings to make himself a god. so that he could remake the world in his image so Harry put him down. His sidekick is just as bad because she wanted to help him. Molly did not choose to break a law ,she did not know it existed, but it damaged her soul anyway and mad it harder to resist doing the wrong thing the next time. The Stunts are way more than balance they reflect the metaphysical reality and the moral structure of the game world and ones self control. Try to think What would Harry Do WWHD or would Murphy want to stop me from doing this. Anti-heros are bad people with good rationalization. The point of the Laws is that the ends do not justify the means. If you think that animating human corpses, Killing innocent bystanders with a bomb, or consuming the souls of the dead is OK then their is already a dark spot on your soul.  

Quick question...
Now I have both the city and character sheets together. How do I divide them in two seperate files

You need a PDF editor to do that so either full Adobe acrobat or check tucows.com for a free/shareware one.

First off how many threads do we need on ways to weasel out of the Laws of Magic?  

In character The Law Breaker stunt is about your soul not some legal mumbo-jumbo it is about the kind of person you become if you use the force of your life and your will to do terrible things. In game terms the stunt is meant to illustrate and quantify the danger of the left-hand path. If you are the kind of person who builds magic bombs for people who do not fear harming the innocent to achieve their goals then the damage is done because you believe that that bomb "should" be made deep in your soul. Good or evil motivations do not matter. Look and Molly's character sheet. however I agree Intent vs Accident does, at least for the stunt. The bomb maker is just about the worst example in the world however.

For a real world example many terrorist groups are angry about very legitimate things this does not make the people who sell them bombs to blow up night clubs good people. Neither does the fact that the bomb maker has plausible deniability. Arms dealers and drug pushers use that argument all the time. "hey man its not my responsibility what people do with my product."  

Again in game terms the Law are meant to create a framework that both provides tension and creates a dividing line between the good guys and the bad guys. If you want to run and evil campaign that's one thing. they can be tons of fun but in that case i would chuck the NPC rule and only Restrict refresh in order to maintain game balance. On the other hand if you want to play a hero then play a freaking hero why the hell does everyone have to be the Punisher its so tired. The Laws of magic and other moral codes are what make you different from the vampires if all you do is try to dodge them you are no better than the monsters that is why the stunt cost you a piece of your humanity.

Finally on one last real world note IEDs, Landmines, Car bombs, and other indiscriminate traps are just plain wrong. Just ask the kids in Vietnam that get their legs blown off by 40 year old land mines.

The application of the "Law Breaker stunt" and enforcement of the laws are completely separate. You gain the stunt by using black magic that stains your soul. having knowledge of the indiscriminate nature of bombs and the fact that RCVs are often in the company of mortals then using the power of life that you believe in to create a bomb should be enough to get you the stunt even if you never kill a mortal. All these threads arguing if this or that breaks the law are pointless, its like cheating on your wife, if you have to ask then the answer is yes.

An official ruling would be good but if you look at the examples from the novels the Alphas can be easily sidelined by wounds that would not stop them in wolf form and all their wounds remain after they revert. you might not want to shape-shift until you heal up a bit.
