He also appears to have a Destiny in regards to them too.

Yeah, I mentioned it first upthread.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's the guy that's gonna start the apocalypse.

On the Outsiders, I say that they have Unkillable 3 and Supernatural Durability with "can be killed by those born at the right times" as the thing that can overcome it. It's not really a feature of Harry, it's a limitation on the outsider's night-invulnerability

Excellent point.

So you did. I'd missed it because I hadn't reloaded the page in a while.

Butcher said something about harry is going to have issue with breaking but not breaking each of the laws of magics, and one of them is about not opening the outer gates.

Great minds and all. ;-)

I remember that. I just want it over so I can get my hands on the 3 post-apocalyptic books that are supposed to cap the series. :-)

Early Version:

Defense Meta-Trait 2 (Accessibility, Only while DR is active, -10%; Bracelet, -45%; Magical, -10%; Requires Active Defense roll, -40%) [12] + DR 31 (Bracelet, -45%; Costs 2 FP, -10%; Force Field, +20%; Limited, Ranged Physical, -40%; Magical, -10%; Requires Active Defense roll, -40%) [31]. 43 points.

Latter Version:

Defense Meta-Trait 2 (Accessibility, Only while DR is active, -10%; Bracelet, -45%; Magical, -10%; Requires Active Defense roll, -40%) [12] + DR 31 (Bracelet, -45%; Costs 4 FP, -20%; Force Field, +20%; Magical, -10%; Requires Active Defense roll, -40%) [31]. 43 points.

Wait... why is Active Defense on both pieces of this? If the Defense boost has the Accessibility limitation, it seems like double dipping to also give it Active Defense. Does it take a separate Active Defense roll, or does it just apply automatically whenever Harry activates to DR? Also, isn't the Defense Meta-Trait a boost to Active Defense rolls? What does it mean to have Enhanced Dodge (Active Defense, -40%)?

Why not: Enhanced Parry (Bracelets Only), with DR (Active Defense)?
