@JohnstonMR

That really is a good idea, thank you for sharing it.

@JohnstonMR, that is a fantastic idea for how to handle the dilemma.

@Jaden

My group and I ALL want to play, so we reached a compromise. We will work together on creating the Dresdenverse Sacramento (our city), then create our PCs together as a group of friends/colleagues. Each PC will have a “personal GM,” and we’ll take turns running stories where our “assigned” PC is the star, and he/she calls upon the other PCs for aid (and, in some cases, there may be “alternate” characters played in particular stories). Hopefully we’ll be able to weave the stories together into a cohesive long collaborative story.

@fred That is the way of the Dark Side of Dresden.

@Wyrdrune, a touch, at least; one possible aspect for Harry is "Not So Subtle, Still Quick To Anger".

after re-reading some of the books i get the impression, that harry becomes easier and easier to enrage. as in ‘wizards are quick to anger’. will there be a hint of that in the rpg?

um this is just a guess but i think that the answer is yes but with power equaling bigger powerful spells but with a more limited number of times you can preform them were finesse would last longer but not as flashy… more streamline if you will. very much like considering a sledge hammer of magic or a sculpting knife.

Is there going to be some sort of “power” vs “finesse” differentiation for spellcasters within the game system?

At the end of the day, it’s more that Harry is crap at discipline, and Thaumaturgy goes slow enough that he can make up for that with preparation. But he’s a *powerful* Evocator — he can blow a lot of stuff up. He’s just not good at making sure that doesn’t mean he blows things up he doesn’t *mean* to.

@JohnD, Harry uses both, but you've got the idea of which is which. Focused practitioners practice a "reduced" version of each of those. Evocation is to Channeling as Thaumaturgy is to Ritual.
