Spanner in the Works: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Exalted]]'', beings that exist outside of fate are the ultimate Spanners from the perspective of the Sidereals. Since they cannot be detected, manipulated, or predicted by fate and fate-based powers, one of these beings can derail centuries of careful planning before the Sidereals realize that anything's amiss.

* In ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]'', the Circle of the Crone has the position of [[The Fool]], whose sole purpose is acting as this. When the Circle needs something stopped they send in [[The Fool]] and watch stuff blow up. Basically it's like "so, you're a rather spirited walking corpse, eh? Say, could you go check out what that Invictus bastard is doing downtown? Just do whatever feels natural, I'm sure it'll be a blast." Fools who survive long enough to gain some measure of respectability might make it to the rank of [[Trickster Archetype|Trickster]], for whom the purpose is basically the same except the Trickster actually has some idea of what he is doing.
