DFRPG / Re: Need Help - Is This Character legit?

I'd probably do psychomancy-via-audio as an area attack.

I'd also note he's going to have to take Lawbreaker (4th) quite early on if he's building a fanbase via mind-magic, so you should be comfortable with him "going villain" rather quickly.

Not really. I just re-read the Skinwalker vs Alphas/Harry fight early in TC, and even though the Skinwalker was veiled, Harry can tell where it is... not its shape, but he can track its movements.,

I'd allow Lore to complement/modify Alertness vs Supernatural forms of Stealth.

Maybe put some restrictions that force Stealth/Veils/Glamours to be used as some kind of Armor rather than a Perception-block in certain circumstances?

The idea of "veil as armor, sometimes" makes sense to me for the Skinwalker attack on Chateau Raith, at least. Kincaid's activities in the Shedd Aquarium are a bit harder for me to reconcile within the same paradigm.

DFRPG / Re: I need an emotion for my White Vampire

A slight rephrasing / clarification / alteration of what I said before.

1. No positive emotions of any sort for WCVs! It just doesn't feel right thematically.
2. For the paladin, I'd go with a true faith power or mortal stunt for the whole courage-boosting thing.
3. Tharios, gonna have to agree to disagree on the the "courage as mental stress." Courage isn't really something that feels like it could inherently endanger someone's psychological well-being if they're naturally scared out of their wits - if anything, it'd be improving their psychological well-being temporarily. Just because its external, doesn't mean its negative- consider things like the leadership stunt.

Remember, Incite emotion is a mental stress attack. Courage isn't really a mental stress attack type of emotion... If you want to go for something along those lines, design a presence-based (or possibly conviction-based) stunt to get the whole "inspiring courage" thing going. That's not to say there aren't situations where courage can get you killed, but mental stress, not so much.

I really, really, really would recommend you NOT letting your WCV take courage as incite emotion. For me, that's the same category as Hope, Love, etc, if perhaps a milder version- which is part of why I'd put it as a mortal stunt. Remember, White Court Vampires are STILL Vampires. It should be HARD to be heroic as a WCV. It isn't much of an inner struggle against your monster when sunshine and puppies keep you well fed. If you want a fun RP experience for a struggling-against-my-inner-monster WCV, I'd go with despair or anger- Lust, which Thomas struggles with considerably, is in my opinion the easier side of things from a non-monstrosity point of view.
