Thank you for this, by the way.  You actually made the whole Librarian AB
make sense instead of being something that seems to be just... there.  I'd
actually have them, though, start communicating with them in a different
manner from Faith- perhaps Academia: Occult Communication.

Well, more could be done with Law Dogs, but I don't think they deserve a
whole book.  I mean, they're a cool idea, but not THAT cool- perhaps
something in Epitaph 4 if it hasn't been completed yet.  I'm personally not
really interested in this whole "Mundane Background" idea.  Maybe giving
people without ABs an extra 5 character points to start out with would be
good, but not a pseudo-AB of their own.  New Edges and Hindrances might be
interesting, though, but I don't know what you could do with the Law Dogs on
that front.  Detailing "Central Command", or whatever they call it IF they
call it, would be kinda neat.  That way we could get some insight into the
inner workings of the Law Dogs.
