[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 6074130, member: 12037"] If you didn't jump behind the tree, you would have no aspect to spend a FATE point on, though. Remember, you can't just spend FATE points willy-nilly, you have to have some kind of aspect to invoke. In this case, you're behind a tree, which lets you invoke the aspect T[SIZE=1]AKING[/SIZE] C[SIZE=1]OVER[/SIZE] (or whatever you want to call the aspect). If you were just standing out in the open, you wouldn't even have the choice. Tags are just bonuses, and shouldn't be thought of as the main way to invoke aspects. This is why being Pure Mortal is so great. A Pure Mortal would have started with 12 refresh available in this game, so with a few stunts that leaves something like 9 FATE to start with. That's some serious bonus to bring to the game. You guys spent most of your Refresh, so you don't have the spending power that you might otherwise have. It's all a trade off. But as the game progresses and we get more compels going, you'll have more FATE to spend. And, I'll say Keira has time to grab her clothes so long as she just takes off as fast as she can.
