Hrm… well, as long as it's just a retasking of the word "skinwalker" and not WoD's version I don't think there should be any issue between #1 and Fors, fwiw.  And yeah, true-blue WoD Garou are just too powerful for this campaign; we tend to focus more on storytelling than firepower and claws.  #2 sounds like he'd be the magical equivalent of a certain member I could name (*grin*), and #3 sounds akin to Tain's old background.  I still say they're all good here IMO, provided you expect them to start at newbie levels like the rest of us due to the reboot.

I'm familiar with Briggs work. and the power level on  Mercy is close to where were were at though Zee's knife may be a bit high.

Character two sounds like a few we've introduced over the years, but as of last setting, building magic characters was tricky. You should really read Starkweather (the comic series) to see how magic works in this realm. I'm sure someone can post a link for where to buy it.

the problem with 3 is that in a social game, and anti-social characters don't do as well in social games.

If I had to pick I'd go 3, just because we're starting to loose the snowflake affect of non-mortals among the snowstorm.

I already tried my hand at 3, was kinda hard to balance but you might not suck as badly as I do .  Was fun though never outright saying just where I stood in the organization though lol.

I've noticed a bit of emotive popping up in the fun thread.  While it may be changed for the official version the old posting system was just that, postings.  In a non-mission thread the usual way to post is just like if your character was posting to a forum him/herself.  In a mission thread you're free to post like a regular RPG and add in your actions.  Since that's been consistent between alpha and beta it's probably a good idea to get used to it.  But it is in a thread that's just goofing off till we get official word of what's up, so no worries either way.  Now that I think about it, it may be a good idea to run an example mission so people can see the difference between the two and maybe enjoy themselves.  If anyone feels up to running a lazy throwaway mission just start an unofficial mission thread or let us know in here.

Something important to keep in mind is what Fuzzbutt said.  Unlike usual RPG's where it's expected that you get crazy overpowered and Bitch Slap Mother Hydra, this is a rather low powered game.  It's expected that we are hardly a match for the EoD let alone anything more then a group of cultists.  It's a hard habit to break and deep down we all wanna be awesome which is exactly what the normal run of Bitch Slap'n play caters to.  It's a challenge, which makes it very interesting to me as you CAN fail and when you win it means more then simply bulldozing any opposition.  Things get stale and boring when you win every time imo.

It was quite a bit different then what I've gotten used to.  Just happy I didn't completely suck lol.

I don't know Tain, have you ever seen a bobcat go on a shredding binge, that tie's not for lasting long, and a handfull of bullets will hurt SOMEone
