Don't say that too loud. He might get ideas...

DFRPG / Re: A Subtle Feeding?
« on: November 10, 2010, 09:04:57 PM »
I agree that it is dicey to let a player pull a stunt like this. However, we were careful in his character creation to still integrate his aspects into the rest of the group. And I wouldn't do this with some of the people I play with (groups or players). However, double blinds and duplicity is a part of my games. I like to play shell games with characters, and plot points. I just do so fairly and don't play dirty tricks with it. Which is why my players don't lynch me.
And both the WCV player and myself expect his character to be utterly murdered when he's found out. He knows how he's going to present himself, and the lies about his feeding to tell the rest of the group. It really depends on HOW he's found out.

None of the other players know about his character. He has a false sheet as a decoy, several duplicitous aspects, and a pack of "mortal stunts" for his Monster Psychologist fake High Concept (he volunteers at the local high schools as a councilor, and feeds heavily from all the depressed high school students he "helps").
So the other half of the issue is making the rest of the party roll when he does dren like this to see if they notice.

An excellent point Papa Gruff, thanks for the input. Still trying to get the hang of compels. 
Thanks also for the input Sinker. I'll see how he wants to play this one out.
I agree fully Wolfwood. I was thinking the opposed deception roll myself, but wanted to see if there was a rule, precedent, or fan opinion on the issue at hand.
My big question is the Subtle Feeding issue. What sort of roles, compels, or maybe stunts might he need to present to feed right under a party member's nose.

DFRPG / A Subtle Feeding?

One of my players is running a White Court vampire, but is trying to keep that little tidbit secret from the rest of the party, both in and out of character. A Skavis in particular. The group has just come on a group of kidnapped children, who are about to be offered up as a sacrifice to raise up a (or the) Headless Horseman. He's put himself forward as a social character, and I've compelled him to go and feed on the children's despair, spiced with fear (delicious!).
After glaring daggers at me, he want's to attempt to resist (the rest of the group is RIGHT THERE after all, and don't know his true nature) and failing that, try to feed all subtle-like. Now, is this the case where he better present an aspect and offer up a fate point to make that roll, or is it simply a deception sort of moment. Since this has the potential to set the tone for how this will be handled, I thought I'd get some more opinions on it.

One of my players want's to do a were-elephant.
"What time is it when the were elephant sits on your villain? Time to get a new villain!"

DFRPG / Re: Wheel of Time DFRPG conversion

How much refresh would the Warder Bond cost? How about Dreaming? Being a Wolf Brother, or a Sniffer? The One Power isn't the only weird in the setting recall. Is Mat's Luck just an aspect of a ton of Fate points and some mortal stunts or is it an ability that chewed up Refresh? I think the Fate system could handle Wheel of Time as well as most (certainly a bit better then the first try at d20 did, although I've seen a conversion into Saga Ed that's much better), it'd just take a bit of work and some new abilities.
