DFRPG / Re: Some rules questions

Fireworks would be somewhat uncommon depending on where you are in the world (although this creature seems specific to Asia and the Chinese government might not take kindly to anyone running around with things that go boom).  I would go with any loud noise but if you want to increase the effectiveness you could add light (simulate both effects with magic).

We have considered changing the catch to a more general "explosions", which would cover grenades etc. and magical simulation of fireworks also.With regards to the Chinese government, the game is an American one (Georgia, to be specific).

Thank you to everyone who helped me by replying to this thread.

3. Dunno, linkage to this wiki critter?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nian

The tradition began when a Nian attacked a village. After the attack, the villagers discussed how to make the Nian leave them alone. Eventually they came up with a plan where drums, plates and empty bowls were hit and firecrackers were thrown, causing loud banging sounds that would scare off the Nian.

Now, I was going to make the creature such that dislike of loud sounds was an aspect to be compelled, and fireworks or vicinity to fireworks were the catch. Is this reasonable?

DFRPG / Some rules questions

1. Do the bonus physical stress boxes from high endurance, inhuman toughness and hulking all stack?

So a creature with Supernatural toughness, hulking, and good endurance would have:

4 + 4 + 2 = 10 boxes of physical stress, 4 of which do not count against the catch?

2. Does a weapon rating stack with the bonus shifts of damage granted by inhuman strength?

3. Would a Nian's weakness to fireworks (As listed on the creature's wiki page) count as a +3 or +4 catch?

I know the last one is ST fiat, but I would welcome opinions on it nonetheless.

Thank you.

Are there rules defining what qualifies as "true love" etc. in game?

If character X and character Y enter a lust white court nest together, is there anything to stop them going.

Player X: I am now in love with character Y.
Player Y: Yeah, I'm in love with character X. We're immune to their powers now.

Short of DM fiating that the players have to kiss, I mean.  ;D
