If we ask something he is unwilling or unable to answer, we might as well not have asked at all.
To be fair, Curiosity is Molly's Urge.
But yeah, this is one of those occasions I dont feel the need to ask anything.
IIRC, when this question was asked previously, DP explained that Molly's physical appearance didn't so much change but that her presence did, supernaturally speaking, so that her newly acquired innate offputtingness detracts from her appearance for mechanics purposes.
We can buy it up too. And probably should, to App 2 or 3.
People underestimate how much leeway looks give you in social situations.
I have no idea what you are saying here. The charm flat out says that you get two human clones and that they are not shintai form but our regular human body. By RAW it is useless, I agree but that is how it is written.
I am saying that an E2+ Infernal's normal body in combat is probably running the benefits of stuff like Ox-Body and some demonic Aspects. So your Shintai clone is wearing your normal combat body, buffs and all, while you are rocking the Shintai supermode.
Thats my understanding of the intent of that effect, anyway.
Classy as always Uriel.
Im honestly not sure what Michael can teach Molly, who is already Melee 5 and high Occult. Firearms maybe?
Or likely just a grounding in situational ethics and an introduction to people in the supernatural world who would usually flee the advent of anyone bearing the mantle of Infernal power.
Loling at the driving into a lamp post.
Who needs to cheat when your exalted, using the excellency Molly Rolls Wits+Empathy at 12 dice. In a favored skill, to prevent 1's subtracting. I think we have found our money maker. Head to a poker tables, and clean up. Should not take long before Molly is getting invites to the high stakes games. Maybe enter a few tournaments.
Molly has the Crown of Eyes and limited intellectus.
If she wants to win the next Powerball lottery, guessing the winning numbers is as easy as paying a hobo to buy her a one dollar lottery ticket and filling in the numbers. Then claiming her winnings anonymously via a lawyer and either a trust or a corporation.
None of this pennyante poker table stuff.
Subsequently, if she's looking for somewhere to launder seed money, scanning the stock index with the Crown and parking money in stuff like Apple, Google and Amazon would make her independently wealthy by her mid-twenties.
I mean, Apple stock alone went from 6.56 in 2003 to 403 in 2011, a period of 8 years.
Its just a lot more work to obfuscate her involvement and ownership. And money isnt that much of a focus for her atm anyway.
Well you are underage so you cannot legally gamble even assuming you would find a legal gambling establishment in Chicago so to Gentleman Johnny's establishments you go if you want that. Also you need enough money for a buy in. Molly does not know how much that is because the workings of illegal casinos were not part of her education.
Three words:
Hollow Mind Possession.
Allows her to make any computerized device in line of sight her bitch for anything from one day to permanently.
Like bank ATMs.
If Molly was a black hat, or even just a somewhat greyer hat than Dresden, she could make all her startup money this way for minimal effort. Visit a bank ATM, dominate the computer into your loyal servant, withdraw ten or twenty thousand dollars, instruct the computer to destroy any records of the transaction, walk away. Repeat at a different ATM next month.
All of which is fungible cash with no need to interact with the criminal underworld or seek the aid of others to pull it off.
That sounds like our biggest mistake today was not checking if the vamps we killed had money or watches on them.
Sympathetic magic is a thing in the Dresdenverse.
Carrying something that the Red Court and their allies might be able to spy or track you through is a suboptimal idea.
And Molly has zero experience at fencing stolen goods.
