Ok, but looking at the article again, it's not like they say fallouts can't be anything but negative scene aspects, they just list that as a quick explanation of how it works. There is an assumption with the rules they give that you have the DF:YS book and will just use their stuff to make some changes, not completely re-write the Evocation rules.

It seems like a lot of nit-picking and dislike of a sidebar, which by it's nature I'd assume is optional. If you don't agree with the basic premise (that wizards are too powerful) then ignore the rules within.

Well looking at your issues, I don't see anything significantly wrong.

The skill section doesn't say anything about changing the Presence skill. Maybe that's intentional, but I'd expect it to be gone since Fate Core's default list doesn't have it (or social stress in general.)
Similarly, I would've expected to see Fists, Weapons, and Guns replaced with Fight and Shoot. But I'm not certain that that was a mistake.
Page 8 also says that Provoke is much broader than Intimidate, but as far as I can tell the skills are basically identical.

These skill issues are easily fixed.

On page 9, shields are not explained very clearly. The text never actually says they provide armour, but it implies they do and the example sure makes it seem like they do. So...they provide armour, right? The rules text should probably say so.

Minor goof, the example is pretty clear.

On page 8, fallout is explained slightly wrong. It doesn't reduce your roll, it reduces the power of the spell. And its possible effects go beyond just making negative scene Aspects.

And I think that wizard supremacy sidebar is misguided at best.

Care to elaborate?

But it's about taking away the power, not granting it. Plus you'd still need a Catch.


I guess what I was thinking is having a circumstance for The Catch, like "Only while not in stone sleep" rather than a substance.

Mythic is higher than I was thinking, but where is that Limitation stuff? I skimmed over the Custom Power thread and didn't see it.

Also, is there anyway to mimic this by the book? (Or using one of the other Fate books?) My group can get a little squeamish on fan created stuff.

Is there a way to have a Catch for Recovery that instead of being something that prevents, being something that is required?

In other words, rather than say having a Catch of "fire" so your Recovery doesn't work on fire damage, you have a Recovery that requires something, such as blood or brains in order to work. Is this possible as the rules are written and if not, could this be a viable house rule option?

I have a player who wants to play a Gargoyle (the Disney cartoon style) in an up coming game. I think this is a great idea, but I was wondering if anyone had built a template for this or had suggestions as I'm not familiar enough with the show to know what should be included.

I thought the coffee stain & pentacle combination gave you the right feel of the setting. It just really clicked for me.

Very entertaining! Can't wait for the next recap.

Btw, which characters are PCs and which are NPCs?
