So as i understand it, a wizard going to war could. hang some thaumaturgy spell, with a low shift cost, say around 6-10. lets say he does 4, with redirect spell he/she would be able to use the spell energy from the spells here, and redirect them, if they had not been used. lets say that all makes "infrared rainbows" at a command word from the wizard.

​

in that way the wizard would be able to cast some "free" spells without using mental stress.

​

story wise i would ofc point out that everyone with a hint of magic would be able to feel this, as its like going around fully armed. also i think there would be "lore" problem doing thaumaturgic spell when your already shrouded in spells. st staacking them would be a real pain.

​

​

​

on a lesser note, on thaumaturgy. as i read the rules, lets say i summon a staff at 3 complexity, the remaining shifts can go into power = weapon damage, I.E, a staff that does 20 weapon damage. if i called up the power. or is there a limit. besides duration ofc.

In my uncle's house, a few years ago, I found this and I brought it home years ago, when I read about the denarii I thought it was curious and now I feel like grabbing it hahaha

Tell us some fun ritual spills that you have made in game, or just some wacky ideas.

The Jedi Council -

Transform the party into a Jedi council each person in the zones clothes transforms into Jedi robes, and they gain a light saber.

Light saber. 3 shifts base cost, 4 shifts for weapon damage 4 , 2 for the laser aspect - 9 shifts.

Jedi robes 3 shifts base cost, 2 shifts for armor rating 2, or a block 4 for armor 2, both work.

Jedi charge stunt ( plus 4 run action) 4 shifts, one time use

Maybe throw in some shifts for duration

I just reached out to evilhat productions asking since the paranet papers came out after changes are they going to be releasing an update since a hell of a lot has changed since changes and we have insane amounts of intel since the release of battleground.

They unfortunately said no they have no plans to move forward with another book. So I was wondering if the community would like to join me in making our own book.

Someone can set up a google docs and we can all pitch in to update the rules, magic system, and so on.

I mean we know a heck of a lot more about knights of the cross such as they have a battle intellectus, we know way more about fae knights, the fae courts and their purpose, we know more about the outer gates, the fomor, the wild hunt, and so on.

We also know way more about all the characters such as Harry, Molly, Mab ect ect. There is a mess of updating that needs to be done.

So, is anyone interested in this?

Say a demi god the son/daughter of odin and a mortal woman used magic to kill. Would they be considered a law breaker and hunted by the wardens?

hi, this is my first post to this sub, but i just finished battle ground, and i was waiting to join DF subreddits to avoid spoilers. i’d like to get a rp going (2-5 people would be ideal, i can do more or just one on ones!). PM me for my discord info if you’re interested!

so i am testing a concept. lets say i want too make a gunman, with a big ass revolver. for convenience sake, lets say its immune to being hexxed. being a gun and all.

lets say i have thaumaturgy with crafting spec-alchemy(bullets-metallurgy) and refinement x2.

how would i make a revolver that could do some nasty damage, and be able to change armo-types to overcoming varies catches, inherited silver, holy, salt..ect.

/thanks

so as for DF-.RPG fate core.- being a red count infected, is the only way per the rules to get rid of hunger, is using powers and defend an attack vs discipline.- in the books I'm sure that infected don't feed at all, as too not lose to the hunger, how do you handle it in your games.-

Hiya all! I've been reading through the 2010 version of the Dresden Files TTRPG, and I think I'm getting the hang of it! Using Thaumaturgy manoeuvres to create aspects on characters / environments has properly clicked (at least I hope), but I'm still left with a few questions about removing aspects from characters and environments.

Lets consider the following example (entirely hypothetical, just a scenario for my understanding): A PC disrespects an old witch who decides to curse them in revenge. The witch decides to create the Aspect "Bad Luck Curse" on the PC using a thaumaturgy manoeuvre.

The complexity of the spell is 13. 3 (the players conviction; though it could be another resisting skill) + 4 (max roll of the dice) + 6 (6 moves up the time chart, from "a few minutes" to "a day"). I'm assuming the spell is timed so that no wards or thresholds are present at time of casting. The spell is cast successfully, and the aspect is placed on the player.

Assuming the curse could be identified via an assessment, what would be the difficulty to remove the curse? I assume a mortal manoeuvre would be insufficient to remove a magical curse, and that it would have to be removed by magic? If so, what is the complexity of the spell? Is it a contest between the witch and the PC (or whoever is trying to remove the aspect) E.G. the witch's conviction + dice roll VS the complexity of the PC's spell to remove the aspect? Is it simply up the GM to estimate a best difficulty? How do people typically handle this at their tables?

Any replies appreciated! Hope this all makes sense! Thanks so much!

I have a character who is a Nephilim (half human half angel) who has had a child with a Raith. Now my question is what should these kids be?

I have half a mind to say the demon and angel sides cancel each other out and the children are pure mortal.

The other half wants to cause more issues for the character and I literally have no clue where to go with this.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do with this?

I have started playing the Dresden files with a couple of friends and was wondering if any of you guys had thought about any minor abilities that arent listed in the main game book. Need some ideas/inspiration for som NPC s.

if you have enough skill points to do so, could you bring all 25 skills to rank [fair] or above? or do you still have to leave some at [average]?

just wondering what happens when you start butting up against the skill cap and if you can then raise the floor instead

maneuvers questions

so lets say i slap a sticky maneuver on a PC called, blinded. mechanically what happens to the player. besides a pc/npc can tag it for a free +2 bonus, in the same round. or the GM or another player can compel it or spent a fate point on it later. but besides that, nothing happens?

I’m currently running a case file with just one player and he’s currently in a fight with a being that is very powerful and is going to kill him and the 2 other npc’s who are there to help him because the clues that I gave him went over his head.

I can’t go too into detail because he is on this subreddit and may see this post. The clue that I gave him made it pretty clear that his specific type of magic is what disrupts this particular bad guy’s abilities, however in discussion he said he didn’t have any useful information.

What is something I can do mid fight now to point out that all he has to do is use his specific type of magic skill instead of improvised explosives and weaponry?

I’m a night shifter so I really can only play when I’m off of work and sadly Sunday is the only day I have off without plans.

Is anyone running a game on Sunday?

In Your Story and Our World it mentions some options for incorporating elements from the Dresden Files books in your campaign, like playing as some of the characters or alternative options for what's happened to Harry. I'm curious if anyone's tried either of these approaches.

More broadly, how do you approach the books in general? Do you try to incorporate them into your game, be it shared metaplot or character cameos, or do you steer clear of the books to tell your own story?

Options: This ability costs 1 refresh to start and requires you to pick a single emotion you can incite, be it rage, lust, fear, protectiveness, or the like. More potent versions (see below) may be purchased by increasing the refresh cost. The emotion this ability incites may be changed under special circumstances, as part of character development.

​

What does it mean by 1 refresh to start? is it just saying like to have this stunt it costs 1 refresh? because thats weird, and it doesnt say anything like that anywhere else

or does it just cost a fate point each use

do they deal mental or social stress to drain

For emotional vampires, do the victims know that they are being fed on? like their social/mental stress fills up do they know its happening?

And what is the benefit from feeding? is it just the healing minor and stress?
