Harry's Stats plus Assorted Other Stat Revisions (Small Favor through Cold Days)

[Sanctaphrax]

I'm certainly fine with it. The person whose permission you really ought to have is Deadmanwalking, but he seems to have stopped posting here. So I recommend that you just take the stats and see if he complains.

[Belial666]

I reccommend trying to find him, giing him a few days to respond before doing anything. After all, the Wiki would be big and have many things that need doing. It is not as if you have to add them right now.

[bibliophile20]

Too true.  I'm still trying to figure out where to put them, short of starting a new category "Canon Characters", but that seems overkill.  I think waiting until after New Year's seems more than doable. 

[Praeceps]

Harry really needs the Infuriate stunt.

[Drashna]

I wouldn't say that. I'd say he just self compels to screw stuff up.
Namely because all he does is screw stuff up, and never anything useful.

[LordScythe]

I loved looking at your take on the characters.  Though I think I would add an Aspect for Ancient Mai.  I would add the aspect "Dresden has a Foo dog".  This aspect could be good or negative depending on how you want to use it.

I know you don't normally add aspects for small events, but I am pretty sure the small comment she makes in Turn Coat is gonna be huge later in the books.  I am also very confident that here opinion of Harry Dresden has changed and may influence her actions later in the series.  She is the creator of the Foo dog statues and there is a reason she modeled them after a Foo dog. 

[Sanctaphrax]

You have a point, although I don't think that Dresden is important enough to Mai for her aspects to mention him. Perhaps a more general Foo Dog-related aspect would be better.

PS: The author of this thread isn't around anymore, so don't expect an edit from him.

Ghost Story is out, which means that some characters need an upgrade.

Behold Mort, now 20% more badass.

Replaced the Deceit stuff with a new custom power and a Refinement. He's no longer a fake spiritualist.

Ghost Story is out, which means that some characters need an upgrade.

Behold Mort, now 20% more badass.

Given some of his actions in GS, I'd give Mort the

(click to show/hide)

Skill Shuffle ability from Beast Change - but instead of shifting, he channels an appropriate ghost.  Given the ability to switch to just about any skill set, I'd even consider making it a -2 refresh ability...though it's borderline.

[Sanctaphrax]

Mimic Ghost is supposed to handle that. He can use a point of it to copy one of the possessing ghost's skills.

It isn't perfect, but I think it works.

[Kiero]

Has anyone considered doing Daniel Carpenter, as at Ghost Story?

[Sanctaphrax]

Considered it, but didn't do it in the end.

I could guess at aspects, but I really don't know what stats to give him. Feet In The Water mortal with high-ish physical skills and...?

[Sanctaphrax]

Alright, it's finally done. Cue the chorus of angels, because I just finished stats for Bob!

I'm actually kinda proud of this. It took a lot of work just to make this possible, and the actual statting process was no cakewalk either. But now it's done, and I think it's pretty good.

So yay.

As always, feedback would be appreciated. Even if it's a meaningless thumbs up/down.

No need to quote "Romance".  A romance novel not having explicit sex scenes in it is about as uncommon as an honest politician.
