Mostly I'd probably just end up deleting the lists...

Except there are plenty of ways to make those inferences already without using magic, so why would using magic to do it and cut out the middle man be disallowed?  Its not really that different than watching security footage of the event in question.

Anyways, I think the discussion has gone on long enough to drop this.

A character who refuses all compels has no fate points.  Which is not the same as a character who never gets compelled, unless that character uses up all his fate points in some other way.

There has got to have been a better way to say that toturi.

Makes sense to me.

So with Skitter's multi-tasking, out of combat it's not really a problem, in combat what if you could just use one Maneuver to set up several fragile Aspects, but keep only one free tag for yourself?  Or something?  I mean, narratively it just has to -look- like you're multi-tasking.

Or maybe a time delayed effect going on in the background.  Devote supplementals to it so your rolls suffer across the board.  Fail a roll lose the whole shebang.  Activate the effect as your turn and it dishes out a little something extra?

Plus, a lot of what Taylor does with her bugs is sensory, so you could always be using those Supernatural Senses at the same time as performing another task, which is kinda multitasking.

I've thought about how I'd build Taylor too and I always figured I could get by on Supernatural Senses and Incite Effect and not miss out on the multitasking much though.

I'm not sure why mental stuff is harder to defend against.  From what I understand it's because it bypasses Speed and Toughness powers and Athletics, etc defenses, is that right?

But if you can come up with a justification, like, "Well, he can only direct his attacks at a visible target, so I'll dodge with Athletics to make it harder for him to track my location, or hide with Stealth, throw up a Glamour, etc." It should reduce the difficulty of defending.  Okay, maybe a brick type character would still run into problems since the Toughness powers only affect the Physical side of defending, but there are the Homebrew Mental Toughness powers which should help.  Plus, I think someone mentioned giving those at a discount if other Toughness powers are possessed.

I'm not arguing for or against by the way, just trying to wrap my head around the problem right now.
