1. About athletics and jumping. I am having a hard time visualizing distances with jumping via athletics. At what point does the leaping become super human.

Use the success Ladder - a +8 is Legendary, a one of a kind feat people will tell stories about.  In terms of a high jump you're probably talking about 2.5 meters or a bit more (current record is 2.45m and it's stood for ~20 years). 

2. A character has resources at 6 (13-14 refresh party). He was asking about using his resources to add +1 to his contacts of 5. (going for the tony starkish gozillionaire thing).

He should be using Declarations to get a +2. 

At a contacts at potentially at 6 what sort of contacts should I allow the player to tap? He wants to start getting high powered govt officials in his pocket (sort of like Lara Raithe). Is there a previous post that gives a chart on power level of contacts?

I don't know of any chart but it's really whatever he can justify.  Though it is worth noting, a contact is not "in your pocket".  Contacts are people you know who may trade favors with you, not underlings or "good politicians"*.  With that understanding, don't be afraid to allow a wide range of contacts.  Any benefits will need to be negotiated and some sort of exchange is probable.

3. Could you give me some examples of how might could give a bonus to other skills (either the +1 due to higher skill or the greater plus due to super strength)? Am I correct in stating that might does not give bonus to the attack trappings of fists and weapons? Could might give bonuses to maneuvers of fists and weapons?

Maneuvers and declarations are how you accomplish this...a Might declaration  could state "I Trained for a Strongman Competition" and a Might maneuver could position yourself in a "Strong, stable stance".  Either becomes an aspect to be invoked/tagged/compelled as appropriate.

*A "good politician" being one who stays bribed.

As far as determined to use sponsored magic...I am open. The goal is a npc whose magic is relatively subtle and easy to rationalize that he is doing crazy Asian martial arts. Also that his magic is not in the weight class of an actual wizard.

If you want something less powerful than magic you might try creating a power.  Something like this perhaps.

Transcendent Swordsman version 0.2b [-2]
Description: Your skill with a blade is supernatural.
Skills Affected: Conviction, Weapons
Effects:
One Blade is Many. A Transcendent Swordsman may split attacks or attack everyone in a zone.  (Standard mechanics.)
Mind Controls the Blade. Spending a point of mental stress allows the swordsman to choose a number equal to or less than his Weapons and roll Conviction. If successful they may choose one of the following:
-    Perfect Steel. Add the number to your next attack or block.
-    Wall of Steel. Subtract the number from the next melee attack targeting him or an ally in the same zone.
-    Strength of Steel. Add twice the number to damage against inanimate objects.

I Become the Blade. Spending a point of mental stress allows the swordsman to roll Conviction (4). If successful they may choose one of the following:
-    Steel Fury. Take two actions on his next turn as long as at least one is an attack with his sword.
-    Steel Mind. Use Weapons to intimidate for a scene.
-    Steel Water. Use Weapons to counterspell.

No warranties...that's off the top of my head with no testing.    It's not nearly as flexible as using sponsored magic but still uses the same resource/concept of spending mental energy.

So here are the questions:

Q fo you also - are you determined to use a sponsored magic style power?  There are other possibilities.  Depending on how you apply the Laws, they may be an issue with spellcasting swordsmanship.

How does metal based evo and thaum work?

Same as any evo/thaum - your theme changes but not really what you can do (i.e. attack, block, maneuver, or counterspell for evocation) or how you accomplish it.

As for rotes, I'd recommend a block and whatever utility spells (possibly a sword sharpening maneuver?) you want.  An alpha strike attack may also be worthwhile.  I'd go with the theme though, enhance swordamanship and let your sword be your attack. 

I created the OSV (Ordo Sinistra Vivendi; aka Order of the Left Hand Path) for use in my game.  They were a group of immortality seekers.  Methods didn't matter to them, just results. 

Sounds like we agree. 

That's what I was saying as well.

Good to know - your first sentence in that paragraph ("So if you don't have Incite emotion, you can't feed.") threw me.

I'm running a Dresden Files campaign and I'm starting to introduce White Court Vampires as enemies to my PCs.  I'm having some difficulty figuring out how their powers work in combat:

As PirateJack notes, At Range helps a lot.  I even had a greed based WCV set up a block using it.

The Emotion Touch power says "If you can touch someone, you can make him feel something." how do you determine if you can touch someone?  Is there an athletics check?

If you're in the same zone you can touch them, if they're trying to avoid your touch you'll need appropriate checks.  (I default to Athletics as defense if they're actively dodging.  Similar to IFV, I allow players to choose to defend only with Discipline if they want to accept the touch.  It's an iffy choice since the WCV could have something else in mind...like grappling.   )

The Feeding Touch power says "When a victim is in the throes of an eligible emotion, you may draw some of his life force out of him to sustain you."  How does this work?  Does this inflict more stress than Emotion Touch alone?

Incite Emotion doesn't inflict stress at all, just an emotion (it creates an appropriate aspect).  That aspect is then compelled to allow feeding via Emotional Vampire.  I typically default to one stress box a round but allow the vampire to attempt to increase via Deceit/Intimidation vs Discipline rolls if desired.  I don't believe that is specified in the text - I extrapolated from the mild feeding and taste of death mentioned.

Bridgit or Dagda (Celtic) are possibilities.  So would the Morrigan for that matter...just changes source aspect based on granted power.  The White God would work as well - the Hospitallers (later Knights of Malta) were oriented towards both healing and war.  For Asian gods Vishnu or Rudra may work.
