[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7841584, member: 177"] There are a couple of places where there are seeming contradictions in the [url="https://fate-srd.com/"]Fate Core SRD[/url]. You noted one. There's another where [url="https://fate-srd.com/fate-core/creating-and-playing-opposition#supporting-npcs"]at one point[/url] they talk of Supporting NPCs taking the Fate Points from Conceding, so that they come back stronger, [url="https://fate-srd.com/fate-core/fate-point-economy#the-[gm]-and-fate-points"]while at another[/url] they talk about how fate points from Compels and Conceding should go into the GMs pool. And, yeah, the seeming conflict is annoying :( Yes. I think the idea of the big Main NPCs having "everything" a PC does - that's in terms of having aspects, stunts, and stress. None of the NPCs are built with the same rules PCs are. The most consistent reading is that when an NPC is compelled, the points go into the pool. I the GM concedes for an NPC, the points go into the pool. If the pool ends with more points than it started, the extra points go into the next scene. If the GM concedes for all NPCs in the scene, such that the scene ends, the points go into the pool for the next scene. Yep. Note: the GM is refreshing completely every scene, maybe with some points carrying over. The PCs are only getting their refresh back per session. PCs are much more dependent on the fate point economy than the npcs are. [/QUOTE]
