You don't want to turn this into a D&D 'the noble may create this effect once per day' thing, but you also don't want us using a string of Deus Ex Machina's on the obstacles. Thinking about your reply to my attempt earlier to gain clues about the guy was rather, well, mentally gymnastic (you used double and triple negatives a lot, very confusing). Incidentially, I was thinking of the time and events that have not passed when I said I was going to make them empty. Another way of putting it: My thinking was that, at point A stands the familia at the time I made that attempt. At point D, in the future, we know all about this man, his motivations and his location. Points B and C are intermediary points, us investigating. We could be said to be at point B at the time of this post. The thing I was trying before was meant to simply... remove points B and C and parts of A and D, so that the familia standing around about to start the investigation, and the familia having completed the investigation, are the same moment. In hindsight, that's an astonishingly powerful ability that would essentially remove all challenge from the game, but I still believe it to be possible. Therein lies the problem. We all seem to be clever people, and being clever we can each take these powers and abilities and come up with staggeringly dangerous applications of them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'm glad your the GM, not me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />(BTW: Great game so far, enjoying it a lot).</blockquote>
