There seem to be strong hints that Kobal may be arranging for Haagenti to ascend as the Archangel of Prosperity. That would be pretty funny. And the joke would be on every one of the other demon princes.

I could kinda see Bellum Maga as a villain group in a (Council-focused) Dresden Files game. There's this rapidly-spreading group of warlocks with outright gleeful disregard for the First, Second and Fourth Laws. Their adherents are gaining magical power way too quickly, we suspect backing by some entity from the deep Nevernever. Winter Court? Current evidence suggests not. Wardens are urged to clamp down as hard as possible before this becomes a permanent threat.

Kavak posted:So why wasn't this the case in 1st and 2nd edition? What changed? If we had an answer for that we'd have the answer to balancing things. At low levels wizards could cast one or two crappy spells a day. They were useless and were just being carried until... At high levels wizards dramatically outpaced fighters and were the best at everything. 3.x just made the second point apply all the time, instead of only at high levels.

^ This is true. It's not that she invulnerable / steel skin, it's that the future in which her throat gets cut will not occur. Something will happen such that she doesn't die. Maybe her husband bursts in with his retainers. Maybe the monster you keep in the basement gets free and you have to run off to deal with it. Maybe she slips the knots and now you have a dramatic swordfight with her. (Assuming I'm understanding things correctly)

Ratoslov posted:Yeah. It seems like in Spellbound Kingdoms, it makes perfect rational sense for a head of state to murder people to ensure that he and his closest advisers are happily in love, because their love-lives are a vital matter of national security. Doesn't have to be happily in love - unhappily in love works fine too. As long as you feel strongly about them.

I bought Spellbound Kingdoms thanks to this threat and have been giving it a look. Is there any way to increase Heart after chargen? None of the classes give it as a bonus, and that seems to be the only way to increase stats.

# ¿ Apr 21, 2016 09:03 |

Doodmons posted:Nope. Make sure to put Heart as one of your higher stats in chargen because it's not getting any higher permanently. There are a couple of temporary buffs to it using magic or alchemy, but you can't increase it. No way to get a D10 Heart permanently then. I guess that would be overpowered.

Note that high Inspiration doesn't make you impossible to kill, it makes it impossible to remove you from play (permanently). So maybe they do die, and they're now a ghost! Whoooooo!

Moran's charms are unusual in having no flavour/rules divide at all. At first it looks like it's all flavour text until you realise that the charm does exactly what it says it does.

If I make someone rich and beautiful and successful via a Soul Pact, once I turn them into a Cover does the cover retain all those merits? It sounds like low-end Pacts could be /really attractive/ to mortals. You could buy someone's crippling medical debt in return for a new car, and the catch is that there isn't a catch. The demon is getting exactly what it wants and so are you. ...the downside being that given how successful that first Pact was is there any reason you shouldn't make another one? And another? Until your life is a hollow shell with almost no content left in it.

Another question about Pacts: Say I buy someone's children and and apply it as a patch to one of my Covers. She's now childless and always has been, and as far as they remember I've always been their mother. But what happens to them in the period between signing the Pact and when I use it for something? When it's just sitting around my desk draw waiting to be onsold to another demon or used to build a Cover..

Kerberos Club did something similar with the civil war stalling out and the confederacy surviving, then as they continue to collapse into economic irrelevancy they start turning to blood magic and other extra-evil occult poo poo. Since they've already got the slaves, after all. The Knights of the Circle were basically 19th-century Indiana Jones Nazis for the players to thwart.
