MdG, I'm posting in here to clarify things and avoid cluttering the IC thread further. I'm not asking you to invoke anything. Invokes enhance action you've chosen to take when it and it aligns with your character. This does, in fact, cost Fate Points.<br/><br/>Compels, on the other hand, allow you to<em>gain</em>Fate Points to spend on future invokes by acting in ways that also align with your character, but aren't of your own choosing. As you complied with my prompting, you now have an additional fate point, bringing you up to 3 from your starting two. Compels only cost a Fate Point if you decide to resist them, representing a victory of free will over ingrained habit or innate tendencies.
