Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Ok so I'm reading through the Roll of Glorious Divinity volume two when I come across this passage.
Quote:
A master always retains the option of freeing a
slave. If she does so, all of the slave’s markings fade
away instantly, and he becomes a free ghost. In fact,
freed slaves almost always become heroic ghosts due
to improvements made to their Attributes and Essence
due to the circumstances of their deaths. Some
rumors claim that the Deathlords have the means to
sever a master-servant relationship even against the
master’s will, and they use this power to lure powerful
slave ghosts to their banners. Even freed ghosts
retain the markings of their former status and will
often be looked down upon as “escaped property” by
other free ghosts. Throughout the Underworld, there
is a burgeoning black market demand for clothing
that can hide a former slave’s markings.
I mean I know Exalted contradicts itself a lot. But in the same paragraph?:smallconfused:

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Haha. Faaaail. :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
That's pretty egregious editing. I'd guess they meant to say that the magical property that lets others instantly know that the ghost is a slave and who it belongs to fades, but the physical markings remain.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
That takes a level of editing failure above and beyond mere incompetence.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
So, we need to update out tables? Here's mine, then.
Also, if I said that paragraph surprises me, I'd be lying, I'm afraid :smallsigh:

Did I hear something about table updates?

The... ways that they normally do? Except without even the slight chance of being sexually assaulted by a demigod with a fetish for giant piles of inanimate rock.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I read it as when a Death Lord frees a ghost against the master's permission, the marks remain.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
The new forum should have been up by now! *abstinence, fidgets*
According to the latest announcement they would release the new White Wolf web page on Tuesday. I guess there's 6-9 hours left of Tuesday in the states, but damn it.
Also that table looks fun.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
It is now 11 pm EST, and the new forums are not up. I am upset.

We still have an hour to go! And I'll bet there'll be a new Ink Monkeys in celebration of the new forum, t'boot!
Right?

Well, Neph was taking notes on Izzy before they cut the power...
I like Neph, ever since he said thanks after I said I loved Abyssal Sail. It seems silly, but there you have it.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
So. I could use an Alchemicals game. Anybody thinking about an Alchemicals game? Cuz I could really use an Alchemicals game. In fact, an Alchemicals game would scratch that itch that I keep feeling where I am not playing an Alchemicals and playing an Alchemicals game would be a perfect defense against that whole 'not-playing-an-Alchemicals-game' thing. So yeah. Alchemicals game. Think about it.

I would be interested in playing an Alchemicals game. I'm afraid I can't run one however as I will be running my crazy Infernals game at some point in the future, as well as the reboots of two of my games; and quite frankly three games is probably my limit.

I'm always up for an Alchemicals game, but I'd only play as I don't trust myself enough to ST yet.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
So, this came up in my homebrew thread, and I figured I'd ask here since it's been bugging me ever since I wrote the dang charm. Is there an explicit statement in published material that Creatures of Darkness cannot learn Holy charms?
Edit: Page reference required.

Infernals pg. 104 under Holy

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Infernals, page 104, under Holy.
EDIT: To be fair, they can learn those Charms, just not use them.

I like alchemicals... I could totally second this? xD
That said, I pretty much want... a game. An Exalted game. It would really scratch those 'I'm bored, let's make an exalted charrie!' desires. xD

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I think I'll just start posting the up-to-date player table every couple of pages or so til we start the new thread. Then I'll try to get it onto the first page and Jukashi can just add a link to the first post/his sig/wherever.
EDIT: Huh, if this thing gets much longer I may have to remember to put it in a spoiler.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Okay, my pride has lost out over my desperation. Some of you may have noticed my burning desire leading me to sin making me want a high essence game. I could really, really use an ST?

You're going to want to edit some bits, such as Khantalas' name here being The Rose Dragon. Anything too long, as well. Any "ST?" that's not a yes is a no, unless they said maybe, DK for Dragon Kings and DB for Dragon Bloods, tonberrians second choice can be edited down, and the favored game types are supposed to be as the ones described in the Storytelling chapter of core.

I put it in the currently recruiting section of the first post.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
It is now more than six hours into Wednesday no matter where you are in the world, and the new White Wolf Forums are still not up. I will not speak of this again.

TRD used his alternate name when he did his table, I don't know why...
Thanks!

Reflex. The Rose Dragon is my alternate name, not Khantalas. Even my parents know of Khantalas, while they don't know of the Rose Dragon. I'm trying to fix that little problem, but not really succeeding.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Well, seeing as this has been brought up (sorta); Are you the actual author of Keychain of Creation, or just a fan who makes the threads for it here?
(Also, this still needs a new ST)
