In a campaign I'm running now, the players just got into a very tense social situation. They had to approach, interrogate, and strike a deal with an incredibly paranoid and jumpy murderess.
"If you were able to convince the main villain of a case they were wrong in a single sentence, it would feel anticlimactic." *Naruto wants to know your location*
We've had a CoM session called Disney of Mist and we were all Disney's princesses. One of our crew tags was the singing, where all the crew would sing in order to get things done. We used only to convince and it was fun but we would love to burn this tag with other possibilities.
So while it make sense that Excalibur could use her financial resources in a way to Stop. Holding. Back., the rules as written don't really acknowledge that. Instead they say you are unleashing your powers in a new way. It also says "You are able to pull off anything, anything, as long as it’s reasonably related to your Mythos." So Excalibur using her money, which is tied to her Logos theme, has nothing to do with her Mythos. You also roll + Logos to see whether or not if you remain grounded enough that your Mythos does not take over. This wouldn't make much sense if you stopped holding back based on a Logos theme.
There's a sidebar for this exact situation actually! Check out page 260 of the Player's Guide: "While Stop. Holding. Back. is more intuitively used with Mythos powers, it is possible to push one’s Logos themes to the maximum using this move. For example, the filthy rich Excalibur could try to overturn the economic status quo in the City. Using Stop. Holding. Back. with your Logos aspects still requires the player to describe a radical action that exceeds the normal use of his character’s power tags. When you Stop. Holding. Back. with your Logos abilities and resources, you roll+Mythos (the number of Mythos themes you have) instead of rolling+Logos, to indicate that you must call on the miraculous power of your Mythos to evoke such an extreme result using your mundane possibilities." Hope this helps!
@@CityofMist Had not noticed that. I'll try to find it in my book when I next have access. Thanks for the clarification! Might be useful if future versions of the rules did not put this in a sidebar.
It would really help you if you hire some one which actual charisma to read your tutorials. This man is the void. Like he is trying, cant fault him he probably is a great guy but it just not his forte 100%. Its really painful to watch

Time to get cracking on that office drama case!

Looking forward to a video about Tags
