I know. Don't care. Thanks for the link though, I've read it before but didn't save it.
Were Mr. Butcher to sit at my table he'd have to deal with how my table runs things, our consensus and my take on how things work. His "authorship" would have little bearing.
Then you're running in evileyoreverse. I assume since the original question was asked on the dresdenverse forum that I can assume that most if not all of the rules of it apply. Theres also a difference between improbable and unheard of. Sure
genociding an entire race of supernaturals is improbable as in RCV
so if someone wanted to perform a spell that say crashed all windows pcs on the planet...ok maybe but it will take a while... but! doing something like dropping a template from a character is unheard of. It just hasn't happened. Hence....
Some of us are just saying, "Hey this doesn't make sense within this verse" , and for good reason. Has there ever been a character in it that has turned their entire being on a dime? Well actually yes there has and they can, Renfields, RC infected, WCVirgin and changelings can and it is part of their process. However! This has always seemed followed a few rules: (Please correct me if I'm wrong and tell me the example )
1. Mortals are flimsy and can be changed by more powerful creatures, adding to their template.
2. Supernatural templates are changed by their own will alone. And may have the chance to remove their own template, No outside influence can force them to drop a template.
3. Severely overwhelming force MAY be able to force a supernatural template to add to its own existing template, and not drop the old in the process.
Denarian coin on the library as an example
If my players asked for this I'd respond by asking them "Well whats stopping me from Unwizarding you?" or un(template)ing you? I cast lvl 100 plot magic unstunt/detemplate.
.... Actually it wouldn't be a bad tradeoff to force a player to give up their own powers in order to turn back an npc.... seems an appropriate sacrifice....
