Character Types
It’s our goal to support as many types of characters as possible for the Dresden Files RPG. Ultimately what limits the kinds of character templates available as PCs is simple: it’s a question of whether or not the type of creature represented has so much power it loses any capacity for the mortal gift of free will. Free will is what makes PCs — and heroes — possible in the Dresdenverse. And when you lose it all, that’s when the dictates of nature take over. When wizards fall too far into the black or reach too high for power, when changelings make the choice to become full blooded fae, when a politician makes every moral compromise necessary to take the reins of influence, that’s when they stop being people and start to resemble monsters. It’s a slippery slope that’s all too easy to slide down.
To give an idea of what characters we’ll be supporting in the game, we’re doing a series of posts on our blog covering each of the character types. You can find the series to date, here.
On one page or site or somthing,it said that if you have left over refresh buy more skill bars in like great. now if this is even do able, can you get more at submerged? yet another of the never ending onslaught of my questions
@dante, I barely understand that question.
Refresh does not turn into skill points in any way, though you can spend it on stunts which give situation specific bonuses to certain skills.
lol,thats thats what i was trying to say,thank you and sorry for the confusion
i was looking at my buds pdf, and i saw that it said you should use eop for a scion, and that was really all i got to read about scions, how does a scion relate to an Eop? meaning how is a scion an eop? i was a little confused
@dante, mainly we were saying that the templates aren’t any different, even if the origin of the powers the character has are. (Or you could look at it this way: a scion is an emissary of power by blood rather than by undertaking.)
oh, okay thanks yet again fred
Before I say anything Im looking forward to the game good job
And Im having a problem between my friends the player and the GM. The player want to be a Fist of God (Knight of the Cross) and create a fourth sword while there were only three swords they wont stop arguing about it and its driving me bat shits. So I want to know do you have to make a fourth sword or do you take one up. Thank you
@Mr. Valintine, if the GM says it’s not it’s not. If the GM says it is it is. That’s how things work, there. That said, what’s wrong with the two “free agent” swords that aren’t currently claimed (they’re in Harry’s custody, sure, but it shouldn’t be hard to come up with a story whereby a character is selected to bear one of them)?
Ok thank you for clearing that up
