Updated my sheet with my story. Also did we figure out the city we are going to be in yet?

Well, Warren lives in Columbia, South Carolina. The first story seems to be in Boston. Currently, Commander Luccio is recruiting me for the mission.

When you are ready to begin your intro, Send me a PM with the word "DONE" in the title and your final character sheet in the message.

I am missing one line in my character sheet, I am at work right now so can't access handbook,

what is Union again?

Also I need guest star for My story "angel with Black Wings" - scaring off vandals from the local methodist church. Which turned out to be small time sorcerer trying to corrupt and use faith power from the church

Branwen, I'd be happy to have Warren guest star in Angel with Black Wings. He could serve as your backup and muscle in dealing with the threat. Plus, he could have taken a bit of time to explain the dangers of the path the sorcerer is following.

Warren is very familiar with the Laws and how the White Council enforces them. Being trained by a Warden does that to you.

That said, I'm not sure if the Director wants us guest starring in a story for someone who guest starred in our own story.

Would brass knuckles be considered Weapon:1 for Fists?

1) The Union story will come out of the first adventure. So if you have your other aspects done, let's get your adventures started.

2) Guesting in a second story is fine.  It would be nice if we could have maximum cross over in the Guest Stories.  I'm not worried if it doesn't happen.  Just get it done so I can start shooting at you :)

3) Brass Knuckles are fine for a Weapons:1.

Remember that Lore rolls can give you more information about who or what someone is.

It's not usually very specific.  But 'by the prickling of your thumbs' you can notice whether someone is magic or not.  And possibly something about them.

do we need to tell you when we want to make a roll to check something ?

In reply to Branwen Isaacs (msg # 52):

Go ahead and roll.  :)

Once I get to know your character I'll be better at suggesting rolls or just making them for you if I think it's something that your character will notice.  But right now, I'm still feeling out how you like to play your character.

So please go ahead.

I haven't seen anyone else interested in having Warren guest star. So, I will help out Branwen. From Angel with Black Wings I'm going to pick up, The Laws Protect Us.

I still need to do two guest stars as well if anyone has an opening :) Also Warren I'd be happy to have you jump into mine if you have any ideas for it you are certainly helpful in making character sheet itself.

Phase Five: Guest Starring in Gifts of the Tengu King
     When Musashi's quest brings him to Columbia, South Carolina, he discovers an unlikely ally in Warren Reese. When Musashi is attacked by a number of Renfields, Warren destroys the attackers and reveals that they were sent by Ivanka Polsky, a Black Court Matriarch. Somehow she is involved in the shadowy web that opposes Musashi.
     Aspect: "I am firepower!"

Does that look okay? I'm quite willing to make changes as needed.

Director, do you want us creating NPCs that you can use? Ivanka Polsky, for example, is someone I could see returning. I would like to make her the Black Court vampire that was involved in Burning Knight. And, if you want, I can give you more information about Ivanka.

Yes.  Please make NPC's and post them in the new thread(s) I will create in a moment.  :)

Name:
Appearing in:
Known Associates:
Known Assets:
Known Weakness:
Warren's information:
Musashi's information:


(obviously replace Warren or Musashi's name with your own when you are describing your encounter with the character)

If the NPC makes an appearance those who had a hand in creating the NPC (Warren and Musashi in this example) will get a Fate point.

Sound good?

If anyone is interested Id love a little help to finalize my character sheet, I just cant wrap my head around the rulebook, particularly the spell casting :(

I want to make someone who is more of a metallurgist than an evoker with a specialty in making arcane items and potions, but I'm damned if I can even guess what I need to pick.

Sounds good to me Warren.

I'm pretty sure that arcane items and potions are going to be thamaturgy focused and metallurgy is going to be craftsmenship to do the actual making of things and resources for th workspace and materials. If you are going to be making metalurgy type stuff then i would put a focus in earth and fire magic as well depending on what you are trying to make. You will also want to purchase the refinment ability several times to increase the number and strength of your enchanted arsenal. The rules are on 278 specifically for making things.

Make sure you have Craftsmanship and Lore as two of your better skills.

When picking Stunts, obviously take Thaumaturgy. Refinement will be of great use. When taking your Specialization with Thaumaturgy take either Frequency or Strength. If you want, pick up additional Specialization points with Refinement. Alternatively, use Refinement to get additional slots for items or potions.

With one point of Refinement, you could have Thaumaturgy specializations of Strength +1 and Frequency +2. This would make your items a bit stronger and let you use them three times per session instead of once per session as a base.

With both Evocation and Thaumaturgy you get 4 focus item slots for free. Each of these slots could be turned into 2 enchanted item or potion slots.

Emmaline, I was just looking at your current build. Lore is of great importance for an enchanter as your Lore gives the baseline strength of your enchanted items and potions. You really want it higher than Fair (+2). I would recommend Superb (+5) for your Lore.

Discipline isn't used in Crafting. Due to the time required in Crafting, you don't need to control the energy. Other forms of Thaumaturgy will use Discipline for control as well your Evocation spells.

I rewrote your story a bit, does this look okay?

yeah

Sorry for the delay, I am traveling today and I have limited internet access.

I've been helping Emmaline with her character build. Does anyone else need any assistance?

FYI Next week I'll be off-line from the 21st through the 25th. During this time, I will try to check the forums for any new posts, but won't be able to post until the 26th.

So I went on vacation expecting uninterrupted internet, but this hasn't been the case.  I'm here (sort of) until the 24th when I get home.  I will be limping along until then.  :)

Alright, Everyone should have been updated!

I am hoping that the rest of the characters can be done by the time I return on 6/24.  Please send me a PM if you need something specific from me.

Or a "Done" PM if you are done.
