This aspect is about reputation. He may be able to intimidate some people with it. Or he may have to hide from authorities. That's what makes it an aspect. | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 9:32 | comment | added | Yianes the Sneak | I'd like to add that this aspect doesn't say that at all. An aspect says only what is written, no more, no less. In that case this aspect says he IS the legendary Pirate King Stevens. He's still king, wasn't deposed and wasn't a gladiator either. | |

| Jan 5, 2017 at 15:29 | comment | added | Ysharros | An aspect that's "too good" could conceivably be one that can't be compelled, or with great difficulty, and is therefore not as balanced as Fate encourages them to be. It can also, as in this case, be an aspect that is way too broad (and I agree with @beanluc's answer below) and kind of designed with min/maxing in mind. Aspects aren't for min/maxing - nor is Fate, really. | |

added [fate] to tags, because this is about fate in general, not only accelerated

| Jan 2, 2017 at 18:01 | comment | added | Malice Vidrine | I'm curious what you think might be the problem with an aspect that's "too good" in this sense, and how this would be fixed merely by breaking it into different aspects? If anything, putting too much information into one aspect weakens your ability to invoke aspects. | |
