DF isn't really going to do anything with insta-deaths. There are very few ways to instantly kill a PC/NPC as the system is built with the idea that they can escape.

As far as speed and strength, those are easily outlined in the Speed and Strength powers. Don't have the book on me so I don't know the actual ratings for each but the descriptions pretty much tell you exactly what you need to know.

As far as Weapon Rating. I do not know what the conversion is from WoD to DF. You could easily have a Weapon Rating of 4 with claws, but I don't really know if that means anything in comparison as I don't know the WoD comparison.

In all else you should try to remember that Dresden is more about the narrative capacity of the game than the Mechanical benefit of the system. As an example, I can make a character who lifts 5 tonnes and I don't need to take the power "supernatural Strength" or even any strength power for that to happen. An aspect that indicates my strength and a fate point to justify it can do the same thing, I just don't get any mechanical benefit for being strong.

It is hard to separate these two things out, and I know there are a lot of people who don't like this part of games. My game group is split 50/50 on these types of games. Some want more mechanical crunch so they can meticulously build characters, while others like to have a rules lite game so they can focus on the narrative. I am on the latter viewpoint.

But either way its about having fun and an emulation of something from another game doesn't have to have the mechanical backing. If you can work an aspect in there that can promote a good compel or invoke you don't need to worry about having the exact power.

Pseudo Old West. Not sure beyond that. Want a couple of gangs for the PC's to be able to hunt down for bounties

I like to think that the outsiders exist due to the same reason the Never exists. Promotion of human thought. Grimms Fairy Tales are there to help keep many of the Never Never creatures alive. I like the idea that the Necronomicon or any other of Lovecraft works exist for the same purpose.

Hello,

There is probably something somewhere that could be referenced but i am curious. Lets say that I have a stunt that lets me use Weapons for Intimidation under a specific circumstance.

If that circumstance is active, do I also get access the the stunts that i have created for Intimidation? Such as: Scare 'em Straight: You are an authority figure. Part of your job is to put the fear of the law in potential miscreants. Add one to your Intimidation skill when using it against someone under your authority (ie: students for a teacher, magical practitioners for a Warden).**

Taran...that wasn't at all helpful lol, But I think i figured it out. Thanks

Thanks Taran

So If I am reading this correctly (which i doubt) I would have Summoning, Binding, Conjuration, Divination, Veils, Wards and Crafting for my Thaumaturgy pyramid?

EDIT: Or would it be based on thematics? Biomancy, Diabolism, Ectomancy, Entropomancy, Necromancy, Photomancy, Psychomancy,Crafting?

EDIT: EDIT: Trying to get a tree for my crafting specialization basically.

Each location is a spot where the Fey is weak and by causing mayhem at them she is weakening the barrier even more in order to attempt to cause a major rip to get things to come through that she is allied with.

Essentially making a bunch of small holes in a "circle" to make the "circle" fall out.

The amount of times the Beta has caused confusion based questions is staggering.
