Default Re: Can a Destiean Sabotage someones future to avert their fate?

As a note, regarding the Malphas quote... Malphas is Factions, not Fate. Many humans whose lives are derailed by demonic influence do not necessarily go to Hell -- though they are unlikely to wind up achieving destinies, either, and are likely to derail other humans and/or encourage conditions for humans to "freely" go after their own fates.

(Trying to "push" someone to fate -- or destiny -- is very, very difficult, tricky, and liable to backfire. Without an actual Hellsworn contract or the like, a lot of demonic stuff is more about the "splash" that makes the world a nastier, more selfish place. The direct victims of demonic meddling are more likely to reincarnate. It's a bit like Tethers, really...)

Though, as above and as always, the GM sets the rules of the Universe. O:>

(Personally, I think Yves is perhaps being optimistic because he knows it'd drive Malphas up a wall. >_> )
