So, mirrors that are Blessed or on Hallowed ground reflect black auras around [Evil] beings, and mirrors on Unhallowed ground (or under the effects of the Bane spell) will blur the images of Paladins and other agents of [Good].Eyes not changing: means that shapeshifters in armor (with visors) are tougher than those which must use spells (thus cloaks & hoods). Make masks acceptable in less-good cultures -- costume parties, masked balls, etc. -- to compensate and give an air of mystery.Okay, more specifics: since we all know that bells ringing = angels getting wings, make demons hate the sound of bells. Let bells act as an Antipathy effect, with a duration of one hour -- which explains chruch bells perfectly, no?The Moon is the source of insanity, so all [Charm] and [Compulsion] effects are at +2 DC if moonlight is falling on the victim. Conversely, the Sun is the Lord's Holy Tool of Truth, Justice and the American Way, so all Will saves vs. mind-affecting effects are at +4 if the victim is lit by direct sunlight.Music can calm the raging beast. Lycanthropes encountering performances must make a will save [DC = Perform check] or join in the revelry in animal form (not hybrid form), for the duration of the performance. Thus, on the nights of the full moon, villages are either boarded up or are out dancing all night. No middle ground.Fey cannot abide iron. Instead, they make weapons & armor from magical elemental substances. For example, a Dryad could have a wooden dagger that cut like steel, and a Nixie could have a spear tipped with a shard of unmelting ice. Fey have an initially Unfriendly attitude towards anyone wearing or weilding iron armor or weapons. A Pixie with a sword made of solid flame wouldn't be impossible. (The Fey are good sources for non-aligned magical weapons, if you make magical weapons the domain of miracles from your god(s).) -- N</blockquote>
