In Nomine in FATE 3.0
Since the pre-release documents of the Dresden Files RPG I've recently started playing (and running) in a few FATE 3.0 games and have really enjoyed the more role-play and story crafting approach of the system over more rules-heavy system. I was quite delighted when I found someone had taken one of my favorite game universes (In Nomine) and come up with a conversion for it into FATE. As much as I love GURPS, I've never found it very conducive for high-powered/four-color style games. Apologies if this has been posted before. I ran a few searches but found nothing, so figured it might be of interest. So, if you like FUDGE and/or FATE and are looking for conversion for In Nomine, there is this.

Re: In Nomine in FATE 3.0
Very interesting on the surface; I'll have to look a little deeper and see what I think. One thing I do especially like is that the first Vessel is assumed, rather than paid for out of Aspects/points/whatever. (Veterans of this board know that's one of my pet peeves with IN.)

Re: In Nomine in FATE 3.0
Wow, is that by Em Dresner? I was thinking that some of the example characters look awfully familiar...

It's doomed.
Now if it was DESTINY 3.0, that would bode well.

Re: In Nomine in FATE 3.0
After looking this over and running the numbers, I'm suggesting an alternate rule for interventions. Em's version defaults to not using interventions at all, but she includes an optional rule to make rolls of ++++ and ---- interventions. This optional rule has two problems:

Re: In Nomine in FATE 3.0
Some other sites (by online search):
http://warofsouls7.blogspot.com/2013...-core.html?m=1. http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?...amp-Domination From the rules link posted earlier, I would remove Distinctions from character creation. Also, I would expect a gain of 1 FP for any actions that would gain 1 Essence. Finally, dissonance is not discussed and I would expect SOME dynamic (maybe -1 for each note of dissonance on resonance rolls). Note: Though I am excited by both and own the books, I have neither played In Nomine (d666 or GURPS) nor FATE. At least, not yet. But due to this, I may be interpreting the rules incorrectly. |

Re: In Nomine in FATE 3.0
Perry Lloyd on the In Nomine email list did a conversion of IN to the Dresden Files RPG version of Fate. I looked it over, and I liked it.
I own both IN and DFRPG, but I don't claim to be an expert on either. |

Re: In Nomine in FATE 3.0
The War of Souls blog has a newer version of the Fate Core version for In Nomine. It hasn't had playtesting...though that changes tomorrow!
http://warofsouls7.blogspot.com/2017...l-version.html (Edit: Revised 1/15/17) Here's an example character: Shephi, Elohim of Judgment (aka Sharon Smith) Aspects High Concept: Elohim of Judgment Trouble: Grey is my least favorite color Not every lesson comes from a book A spoonful of sugar Den mother Resonance: Use Empathy or Investigate to read a person's emotional state, gain an aspect ("I know what you're going to do") if you succeed with style Choir Attunement: Elohim of Judgment - Can see guilt on a person's face Dissonance Conditions: Elohim - Cannot act on subjective reasons or be overcome with emotion. Judgment - Cannot inflict a punishment that is greater than the crime, cannot stand by while the innocent are being punished unfairly, cannot overlook what I believe is heresy in an angel. Abilities Celestial Resilience 1 - add 1 Armor on defense roll versus corporeal attacks Ethereal Song of Harmony (uses Rapport) - negates violent action Ethereal Song of Tongues (uses Lore) - communicate mentally Skills Great (+4): Investigate Good (+3): Deceive, Rapport, Will Fair (+2): Athletics, Empathy, Shoot, Stealth Average (+1): Blending, Contacts, Fight, Notice Items Prop Pistol - This fake gun was used in many classic spy movies. While completely nonfunctional (and plastic), it looks real. By spending a point of Celestial stress to activate it for a scene, it becomes a Weapon:1 that attacks the Mental stress track, using Deceive instead of Shoot, opposed by the higher of Shoot or Will. The damage feels physical, but if the target figures out it is fake, they get a +2 on their Defense roll against future attacks. In situations where enemies may know about the Prop Pistol, you carry a real pistol that looks identical (Weapon:1, uses Shoot). Refresh: 2 Stress: Physical (OO), Mental (OOOO), Essence (OOOO), Dissonance (OOOO) Last edited by Fedifensor; 01-16-2017 at 08:54 AM. |
