does that mean that the action of throwing a bookcase down in someones path also counts as a block?

DFRPG / Re: Aspects as effects
« on: August 16, 2015, 07:41:59 PM »
okay, so why i bring it up is one of my players is a spell caster and wants to use a spell that has the ground grab the feet of everyone in a zone. so that would be a zone wide (2 shifts of power) maneuver spell (3 shifts) used against opponents acrobatics, or possibly might. what I'm concerned about is what to do once they are grabbed. How could this work

DFRPG / Aspects as effects
« on: August 16, 2015, 06:44:14 PM »
So I'm working up to run a DFRPG (not ideal because I dont have the most experience with it, but hell I've had the rulebook for years, why not) and I'm having trouble with figuring out how aspects as effects work. When you are looking into maneuvers it talks about one of the most common things you can do with them is setting up a temporary aspect on a scene or person. One of the examples that they have is PINNED, though they dont really go any more into it. My problem is that in reading about aspects all I'm really seeing is the ability to invoke them for bonuses or compelled by them to earn fate. Doesnt that imply that a player who is PINNED can just ignore it by buying out the compel for a fate point? or do these status effects function differently?

DFRPG / Re: self sponsered magic

This is a really really interesting question, and I look forward to hearing other peoples answers. My thought is that it is not technically self sponsored. Kemmler had an incredible understanding of the nature of necromancy as a whole. He basically pioneered the field, so he was not taking power from himself, he was taking power from an understanding no one else had. Its like Issac Newton and Newtonian Physics. He did not change any laws of how things work, he simply wrote them down so that other people could reference them.

DFRPG / Re: On Demons and the Fallen
« on: April 27, 2015, 04:51:55 PM »There was a Word of Jim a while back that said the 30 Fallen in the Coins were basically those Fallen whom Lucifer thought were too powerful to keep around, so they got stuck into the Coins and essentially banished from Hell. There's no word on where the other demons are held up in relation to the Nevernever, but Harry does summon a demon working for Downbelow in the first book, so they're not anywhere difficult to get to. Also Lucifer was able to affect the world a bit in Small Favor, which suggests he's not as bound as the Fallen are.Really? I haven't heard of that. If you know where he said it I would love to see the interview
