I'm going to go with Overcome for now. While most of it's uses are going to be to create advantages, mechanically it makes more sense ot me as an overcome action. Emotions are too transient and fiddly to hang around as Aspects; the benefit of Drive Emotion is not so much in creating Aspects, but changing how people act. Much like how you don't need to CaA to unlock a door, you don't need an Aspect to benefit from someone being angry/horny/whatever.<br/><br/>Since they were both Overcome actions, you got two boosts out of your Successes with Style. Since any boost I would generate would likely just be some variant of Lin being sexy/Zhang being horny, I'm just gonna turn them into Free Invokes of <em>Sexy Little Lin</em>.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>In the case of Subliminal, it's noted that success with style is needed to make a target take an action that's life-threatening or that violates their motivations or personal strictures.  So, if I got a success with style against Zhang, then instead of a boost, he could just wind up providing me with far, far more information than he knows he should, and all while not thinking that anything is wrong with doing so in any way.  Or maybe he even lets slip the password on the Night Cartel's mesh security for this job and that winds up getting made into a boost, since it will only be active for long enough to get one use out of it before Zhang realizes what he gave away and changes the password?<br/><br/>Getting extra free invokes on Sexy Little Lin out of the Drive Emotion roll is fine with me, though. ^^<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Oh, rules lesson time. *points to whiteboard*<br/><br/>Antimony used up all the Free Invokes of <em>Sexy Little Lin</em>. However, because <em>Sexy Little Lin</em> is an Aspect, not a Boost, it'll hang around until it's no longer relevant (likely once she leaves the aug parlor). As such, it can still be invoked/compelled with/for Fate Points. It also means that <em>Sexy Little Lin</em> is basically 'true' for the current scene; if Zhang wants t find her not sexy, he'll have to work against the Aspect until it goes away (such as by using CaA to change the Aspect to something else).<br/><br/>This aspect of Aspects is less hard and fast rules wise, but illustrates the less-than-obvious difference between Boosts and Aspects with Free Invokes. If <em>Subverted Panopticon</em> was a Boost, once it was used you wouldn't have it anymore. Since it's an Aspect, you'll still have access to it once the Free Invokes are used, but you'll have to pay Fate Points to use it. Also, unlike Boosts, you can use Aspects for Compels to get Fate Points.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Ah, that's definitely good to know for the future.
