Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

A lower amount of on the fly flexibility yes, they do not have spheres, they have paths. That said they can do some things most wizards would struggle with, like for instance make efficient prosthetics. Just ask Ancient Mai, the foremost golem crafter of the White Council how easy it is to just make a limb that it as good as a biological one... and she will send you to a healer to regrow it.
Speaking of healers, Listens-to-Wind returns to medical school every decade or two to stay afloat of modern medicine. The understanding of human body Courts have, both magical and non-magical, is likely decades more advanced than Earth one, from my understanding. I wonder if we could tempt him to stay for a while and study in the Courts. As an ambassador of the White Council maybe?

And regrowing a limb can't be that easy either or Harry getting his hand burned wouldn't be such a big deal.
 
Question about police/guards and weaponry, in a world where killing a criminal or enemy is pretty much synonymous with them escaping, how advanced is non-lethal, disabling, and crippling weaponry? I would honestly expect any criminal in the FCoF to carry suicide pills on themselves as a 'get out of jail free' card, unless the government is very good at predicting respawn locations.

Pretty good, especially in the field of tranquilizers and stun weapons

Yes, but it is literally a hell realm, getting him to trust you enough to visit would not be an easy sell

It is not. Broadly speaking the Life Sphere is the rarest for Dresdenverse wizards to get and Forces is the most common, pretty much all White Council wizards can do something with Forces.
 
While I really do want a series of embassies for our kingdom, it is a bit harder when the only way to enter or leave is our personal attention.On e we develop a portal for more able travel that becomes a much easier process
 
[X] Plan Making Choices including delays
-[X] Explain the medical situation to Alec and Izzy and present the options available. Include "sedation until the effect normally wears off".
-[X] Ask them to think on it for a few minutes, then make a choice when she taps them on the hand. At which point she'll use divination to learn what they decided on.
—[X] Use the crown targeted at the scene to pick up what choice they made.
-[X] Proceed with the treatment options they select

We are mobile enough that we don't need a portal to support embassies the problem is secure communication between them and our realm.

@DragonParadox : Clippy having trouble working out how to do a handshake with Palace Security SUTRA?

She has not even had the chance to try, it has only been 20 minutes or so since you came in. Also she is not about to do it without express orders or at least permission, this is not the kind of thing a cyberdevil would do on their own. They have some initiative, but given their nature they tend to err on the side of asking their boss in important calls.
 
[X] Harry can fix this, you're sure
Harry's method should be pretty quick, and worst case scenario seems to be it doesn't work and try something else.
 
[X] Harry can fix this, you're sure

[X] The doctors can handle it, lack of experience with the unenchanted or no they are healers
-[X] If they need a pediatrician, suggest teleconferencing one
-[X] Spend time explaining what is happening and calming your friends, even if they can't answer you

Two thoughts:
1) We should list "get chipped with diagnostic implants" as an option for Izzy and Alec. When I get home, I'll add that to my vote.
2) One argument for Dresden as to why this isn't a NeverNever realm - Akoracchius couldn't follow Michael in.

Even with his small skills in mind-magic, this should be a relativly straighforward counterspell.

So the Palace Security SUTRA doesn't have the charm guaranteed loyalty. Should we replace it?
 
Using the Crown is overkill. Can't we just use Perception + Empathy to read them? @DragonParadox ?
Reading people who physically can't act seems like something that should be basically impossible.

Not sure what the problem with using the crown is. It's not like we have to announce in detail what we're doing, and the only people with us who don't already know about it have more reason to think mysterious god powers than to guess the actual details of the crown.

We're talking 1-2 essence depending on how the question is phrased, and we should be safe to recover that here before leaving.
It is vastly different at magic, their divinations do not include something like the Sight as standard, but they do have various divination-focused path magic and techno-sorcerous artefacts that give one spirit sight.
Sounds worse at the moment, but I guess that's just the limits of our current information.

Seems like a good place for those electro lasers I linked earlier. It's a reasonably plausible system in a physical sense, just not practical with modern tech.

A wireless taser that can be cranked as high or low as your power source allows is a decent solution to needing different levels of strength to stun different targets and be able to pull out lethal force when needed without changing weapons.
The simplest solution tends to be the best, just let them sleep off the spell.
That probably is the least troublesome one, but after what they've been through I think the exercise of putting the choice in their hands is an important one for their mental health and our friendship long term.

Gestures of respect like this can be incredibly important even when they seem sort of superficial and pointless.
 
I wonder if the Wan Kuei rituals that allow them to travel to and from a Hell can reach ours.

If so we might want to deal with them.

Also, the Devil Tigers are very good demonologists, who are experts at summoning and bonding devils. They might pay well to be able to call on less problematic ones.

The other orthodox dharmas may as well, and are certainly likely to be interested in other aspects of the Hell.

Path 5 stuff can be pretty good itself, we know for a fact they have the ablity to create a teleportation array, being able to skip the Nevernever for travel. Enchanting path is arguably better then full Mage enchanting outright. And they are way better at healing then Wizards in Dresden without question.

We are loosing them as foci.
Not a big deal for our mundane friends, but something to note.
 
So, on the subject of embassies - we probably want embassies of our main customers at least. Depending on whether our advanced magical equipment works near the Gates, those are likely to be Winter, White Council and Library of Congress / USA government. I wonder if we could swing a formal recognition as a foreign head of state from USA government out of this. Meet the president and all.

As I mention above, we probably have ant to make contact and open diplomatic relations with the Jade Court at some point. They send ambassadors to the more civilised Hells.

Do we really need to rape masquerade that hard right now? I wouldn't say no to preliminary talks, but full on recognition may overwhelm Molly right now. She isn't even familiarised herself with government of her hell, and talks like that should be held with her own relevant bureaucrats/bureaucratic apparatus

I believe this is talking about 'official' recognition from the parts of government that are already in the know about the masquerade. I don't know if the POTUS is part of that, but i don't think Molly is going to be shattering the veil anytime soon.
 
We could send Daniel to our Hell for cybernetic augmentation and combat training. That would get him out of the way for a while and power him up. Just need to run it by Lydia and Charity...what could go wrong?
