I have not read the whole thing (Jere has it on his Nook), but I did take a stab at making a character which... did not go well. I know that it's probably impossible to make a decent character without reading the book 3 or 4 times (at least, if it's anything like the last ed.), but come on. I felt like Persona was way too vague, and Domain way less powerful (the examples of major miracles seemed really comparatively weak - I'm the Power of Photography, dammit, if I want to make it so that taking someone's photo steals their soul, I ought to be able to do that).
