If you could have the symbols on one side and a note about what can be done with it in a readable font, you'd make a believer out of me!

There may be enough space for the info on the chip, but my group keeps the 2 page reference sheets with them(well they used to) so the have a decent idea of what to use fate points for. I just wanted to get a thematic representation. I have the printer paper and plenty of poker chips, so for any fate game that we plan on running for any length of time, I'll be making some more thematic chips.

Thanks, glad you answered in turns instead of exchanges
That is what we thought, but just wanted ask to be sure.

I might add a corruption stress track that fills up from backlash, instead of the physical or mental stress tracks (as you lose control of the magical forces, they corrupt you). The only way to clear the stress track once a box is filled is with a heavy duty thaumaturgical ceremony that can also threaten you with backlash.

Make the stress track sized with conviction, or even just a set length.

Just clarifying for my own info (I've only seen the "beta" books)--the base rules in the Beta books explicitly disallowed playing pure Fae. Did the "final" bookschange that, or areyou discussing house rules?

If you have a page reference, I can compare the text with the current version. I have not seen anything explicitly disallowing it so far.

Wouldn't that be gravity winning the fight, and thus declaring the outcome?

But, seriously, of course dropping someone off the 51st floor is the same as intending to kill someone and would be decided before it happened, not as an accidental result. The declared outcome could also be, I use my 15 shift air evocation hit to slam my opponent into the air handler on the roof and knock him out until next week.

Then, the game master could compel the player to accept an inflicted skull fracture on the opponent, thus forcing the player to either let the baddie die and still have a chance of catching the baddie's boss. Or stopping the pursuit of the main villain and trying to get the injured bad guy to a hospital for treatment before his death. Or paying a fate point to leave the scene as it was.

My first post

Here are 2 sections of the rules that clearly indicate that a player cannot kill by accident.

If the attacker wins the roll, the shifts he
acquires translate into a stress value he can
inflict on the defender

He can inflict the stress on the opponent  if he chooses, not has to inflict it.

If the damage exceeds the character’s stress track,
or occupied boxes “push” the stress off the right
side of the stress track, the character is taken
out, meaning the character has decisively lost
the conflict. His fate is in the hands of the opponent,
who may decide how the character loses.

No clearer than that. A winner of a conflict being unable to decide how his opponent loses is a house rule.
