Alright, so trying to do chargen, and a friend has a character concept I’m trying to model. Part of their conceit is they want to be a bare-handed fighter-utterly brutal without the need of a weapon.
Normally it’d be easy to handwave that, but saying they’d be merely ‘risky’ when going against a master swordsman unarmed feels off. Would we want to make a custom ‘special ability’ with that or assume that when their Cutter picks up the deadly special ability that it just counts them as always armed?
Or would a better way is just to say they need to use the Rage Elixers to go against especially dangerous foes?
Got some questions! :)

1) There are itemsin the white area of the sheet and some in the grey. Is there a difference, or are they all available at any time?
2) I hope I can articulate this well…lol So, let’s say the PCs are using Prowl in a Risky move to sneak past some guards. They need to fill a 6-segment clock to complete the task. The danger would most likely be getting caught, correct? So, if the lead rolls a 6 and overreaches, they face the danger. Now, at this point do they get to roll for Effect? If so, and they get a crit (say, with a 6 plus the overreach bonus), it lists that they avoid the danger. However, since they overrreached they face it…
My confusion is if they faced the danger would they not roll for Effect? Or would a good enough Effect roll cancel said danger? In the “death vapors” example the assisting PC faces the danger, but how might that work here?
I’m sure my players are going to do a lot of sneaking, so I’d like to be prepared for this, since I’m sure it’ll come up more than once! 🙂

This system seems perfect for a modern Hunter / Supernatural-style playset. White Wolf’s injury system is a bit too harsh; the mechanics of Stress and Trauma would be perfect for much more durable and badass characters.

As a GM or player, what are some techniques you use to make actions taken against inert objects, e.g. a lock or a hidden panel, feel cool? Exciting?

I wondered, what is the actual name of the world Duskwall, Akoros and those shattered island are placed upon?

Another thing I wondered about,.. Band of Blades is marked as a separate setting. It occurred to me that it might fit in to describe troopes being out and trying to regain land, fight the evil spirits or establish a new city? Which then again left me wondering a bit how big the islands are. ^^
I imagined them to stretch at the very least over the size of Belgium and the Netherlands combined, maybe even bigger (Germany? France?) though they may as well be a lot smaller..
I love waking up to another stretch goal down. Really looking forward t some psychedelic sci-fi in Womb of Night
