Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Archer- Most likely Dawn caste with a mix of Melee and Archery charms, with Elegant Dance of the Blade and Bow and Infinite Blade Works Thousand Arms Prana.
Berseker: Slayer, Infernal Monster Style, favoring Isidoros with Malfeas soak charms.
Can't say too much about the others. I really never got into F/S Night.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Also, Golden Destruction Cut for an infinite damage excaliblast, and Heavenly Guardian Defense for her scabbard. :smalltongue:
Dark Saber is pretty straightforwardly an Abyssal, as well.
Honestly, with the exception of Caster (who doesn't fit, wtb sorcery errata) and Berserker (who also has Driven Beyond Death bought 13 times), they all fit as Solars. Even golden boy. Especially golden boy.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
So, The Playground has been tinkering with its Essence 9 charms (I assume, to prepare for its Playground Cosmic Principle next thread) and made us all ponies.
In its infinite benevolence, it has deigned to make me a Twilight Sparkle in the Playground. This is a curious choice, as Twilight is not the best pony, but is the gothiest, and therefore, most attractive.
The Playground truly works in mysterious ways. Perhaps I will meditate upon my designation and reach greater enlightenment.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Actually, I'd say Caster fits as a Sidereal. Acting through proxies, setting up battlefield advantages, cheating every rule like there's no tomorrow, getting totally pwn'd by a nonexalted kid when forced into direct confrontation...
Saber is Solar, yes. Gilgamesh is either Solar or has dabbled in Malfeas Charms more than is mentally healthy. Poor Kojiro is a Cataphractoi caught in the middle of all these crazy Exalts, just yearning for a good fight. Lancer is clearly a Lunar - for one, he's Cu Chulainn, who is so very Lunar (between the hound association, the fact that he actually had relentless Lunar Fury in legend, and such) and for another, his life sucks and he only succeeds when he dies, which is prime Lunar material.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I wonder if an Akuma of the Ebon Dragon could find a way to use his anti-mental influence charms to betray his own Urge.
It seems fitting that an Akuma of the Yozi who embodies betrayal could betray the Ebon Dragon.

Mechanically, there is design space for a charm that does that. Akuma, however, lack the initiative to wield such a charm properly; remember that Nemesis Self Imagined Anew doesn't work as well for them.
Lesson: Don't become Akuma, just screw up so that a demon gives you REAL demonic power.

Hmm, you may be right. The walkaway conclusion from that fight would be, "as a Sidereal, you seriously need to favor Martial Arts. No, really, you do. I'm looking at you, Ayesha."

It's a literal, physical object. Malfeas appears to be on the other side of it. No word on what the stars are, though. I'm kind of imagining upside-down lighthouse palaces, though.

Victory in Defeat, from broken winged crane. The Infernal can not only explicitly betray his own urge, he regains willpower from doing so.
So yes. Yes they can.

Yes, but that requires someone else to force him to betray it - and its prerequisite is a charm to break mental influence, which he's going to activate as soon as it becomes advantageous to do so.

It's weird, because from a fluff perspective he should Brooding Resentment it away when he gets the chance, but mechanically there's nothing that can force him to do so and so it is entirely up to the Player or ST whether to ever ditch the UMI based on the needs of the character in the plot or their own twisted whims.
But yes, it does require an outside force to provoke them to betraying everything they hold dear.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
But to be a true Ebon Dragon loyalist, to be completely subsumed in his will and his nature - the desire to be free, and to betray him, would almost have to be imbedded in the very Urge itself, if the takeover is as complete as it seems.
If you really follow the Ebon Dragon - whether through worship as a cultist, though patronage as a Fiend or Ophidian, or through control as an Akuma - and you don't betray him, you're doing it wrong, after all.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
So, has anyone used the Maidens of Destiny toward anything cool? :smallsmile:
Stuff From My Infernal GameSpoiler
Show
I've been running "preludes," of sorts, with my Infernals players, to cover what the PCs have been doing in the downtime period. So far, I've had a moment in each prelude in which one of the PCs would encounter one of the Five Maidens, and also received an auspicious gift.
- Ormagoden traveled to the Blessed Isle to discover the legacy of his previous incarnation. In his travels, he met musician who traveled with him. When he discovered the history of his past life, she revealed herself as the Maiden of Serenity, told him that he could bring about peace, and gave him a memory crystal. Among other things, the crystal contained his past life's memory of a potent artifact lute, and how he descended into the Labyrinth with it.
- Among other things, Gene engaged in diplomacy with the Guild. When he finally settled some trade negotiations, the Guild merchants went on to do their business in Plenilune, but an elderly scholar remained behind, and told him that by travelling to Yu-Shan on Calibration, he could ensure that a great deal of knowledge would be preserved. She presented him with a starmetal key that whispers the location of the moving Yu-Shan gate.
- Suacu heard about the god-forged artifacts given at Kokage's Tournament in the Flaming Arena. Judging the tournament along with Kokage was a woman in an iron mask. When Suacu won the tournament, she personally revealed that a great battle loomed, and gave him a dire lance, along with a few other prizes.
I figure that Yuki's going to meet with the Maiden of Journeys (in the guise of a messenger), and Abbadon with the Maiden of Endings (who will present him with another way of finishing his artifact sword). However, I'm not sure what to give Yuki in this case.
For the most part, playing with the Maidens has been pretty fun; even the savviest player so far only suspected he was dealing with a Sidereal, so the players were more than a bit surprised at the revelations. I tried to foreshadow it a bit by having them take up roles related to their constellations; Venus was a musician, Jupiter was a scholar, and Mars had a spear. I also made a point of acting out their "Resisting Questions" specialty. :smallamused:

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
It appears the Scroll of Swallowed Darkness material has received a 2.5 transition.
Personally, I can't believe that they took the time with Sidereals before SoSD. Don't they understand how fundamental this is to the core system? :smallfurious:

I'm almost positive it's in the books somewhere, but I do know that the writers have said that the Dome of Heaven is a very real, very solid thing. You can certainly just change it, though, if you want to go with something else.
Malfeas being on the other side of it is open to interpretation, though. Sky Breaker Throw (an Ink Monkeys Solar Hero Charm) lets you, well:

If the Solar is particularly wroth however, he may fling his foe out into the stars, where his victim smashes through an unseen layer of Creation and comes screaming down over the brass skyline of Malfeas to leave a crater in the street.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Question Time!
What Martial Arts Styles would you consider accepting, and what styles do you think should be utterly ignored due to brokenness?
I'm talking all MA Styles, here, Ink Monkey, Scroll of the Monk and Imperfect Lotus included. I've heard a lot of bad things about SotM and it's PDF extension and I'm wondering if there's anything to save from them.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
All the Sidereal styles need to be redone from scratch, with the exception of the one in Glories: Maidens--they are simply that broken. I'm still digesting 2.5, so that's all I can help you with.

The Immaculate Styles got hit by the 2.5 errata, so I would think it would be safe to assume they're functioning as intended. (So long as one is already operating under the assumption that anything in the Exalted system 'functions'.)
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I think all the styles outside of the Scrolls of the Monk were hit by 2.5. At the very least I see errata for Solar Hero, Hungary Ghost, Violet Bier of Sorrows, Throne Shadow, and the Glories most high. As far as Scroll of the Monk goes, I don't think they are all unsalvageable, but none of them have been converted to 2.5 so they would all need retooling anyways. (Not that they aren't broken, but I think they can be salvaged) This might actually be the best thing to happen to SotM, it gives a ST an excuse to deny or rework any SotM styles in his/her game.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
On Sidereals: what sort of Hearthstone rating do you think should allow the application of Arcane Fate (or not) as the bearer chooses?
I'm thinking that it'd allow a Sidereal bearer to 'switch off' Arcane Fate, or, if that's too powerful, exempt certain people from its effects.
Basically, a way of being remembered by your allies that doesn't rely on luck or tricky stuff involving the Loom.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Just out of curiosity, since there's one for all of the other Exaltations, shouldn't Alchemicals have a sheet in the first post, or at least be noted under one of the others as was done with Solars, Infernals, and Abyssals?

I think making an off button would go against the "actions have consequences" clause, justifying any sort of cost if the ST in question allows it at all. As a theoretical exercise, I'd go with specific exemptions following some sort of mystical mumbo-jumbo. Power-wise, it'd fall in the same area as a resplendent destiny, but I'm not sure about how it would translate to artifact cost.

Pfeh, Malfeas doesn't do the Majora's Mask thing; there would just be a flash of death, and anyone without First Age defenses dies screaming.
But then, I always imagine Luna's trips to the Wyld as basically being
"Hey Fair Folk! The story is now Majora's Mask. You're Link. I'm the moon. And you can't turn back time."
"DAWN OF THE FIRST DAY, 72 HOURS REMAIN."

The TMA (except Even Blade, which works better as a Celestial style) in SotM are mostly fine. Imperfect Lotus is better than the main SotM book, although its styles still have some problems.
From Ink Monkeys, Swaying Grass-Dance Style and Black Claw are good (although both's flurrybreakers need to cost a couple more motes for 2.5), Cobra Style has been "removed for revision" (read: taken out back and shot) and Ivory Pestle is way too strong for a TMA.
The Glories styles are solid, the hero styles (including thrown schado) are pretty good, and if it's received errata recently it's probably at least passable. Scroll & Debris of Fallen Races styles don't seem to have any glaring problems.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Even blade has charms better than Solar ones, in addition to stuff that's just broken. It's not really workable.
Ivory Pestle is good if you use the mechanics it's supposed to have, rather than the stuff that someone added in later.

Ah, that's right, I had forgotten about a couple of those. IMO it's fine if a CMA capstone is better than a Solaroid Charm (see: new Void Avatar Prana), it's not so fine if you've got a really good essence reactor only one charm post-Form.
Or an essence reactor at all, in 2.5.
What mechanics was Ivory Pestle supposed to have, out of curiosity?

You could add a filler thing, sure. Such as "Ivory Grace Method" or whatever. Or you could do something more interesting, like "Foe-Prostrating Ivory Grace", which gives you more of an idea of what the charm actually does. There are plenty of options available other than a second use of 'Atemi'.

I do feel the need to point out that "prana" and "atemi" are actual words that mean actual things, though not all the charms that use them use them correctly.
"Prana" is the concept of "life energy" in Vedantic philosophy, very similar to the more familiar concept of "Chi/Ki", and so is probably best translated as "Essence". A charm using the word prana should involve some sort of exercise to focus essence in a specific way - which, yes, basically means any charm could get away with it - but the phrasing of many of the charms that do use it are made a bit iffy by presenting it as an action.
"Atemi" is a much more specific term. The term comes from Japanese martial arts, where it refers to any blow against the body of an opponent, not involving any sort of grappling. It is therefore applicable to any martial arts strike that doesn't involve a clinch, or, given the nature of the setting, any action that can metaphorically be described as such. (The only official charm that uses the term incorrectly that I could find was TED's Seizing Coil Atemi, which is clearly a clinch.)

See, I thought the "Generic Charm 1" should be the descriptive part. So "Foe-Prostrating" with all the Pranas, Graces, Atemis, and Meditations added around it. So we could have Disciplined Methodology of Foe-Prostrating Prana. Or Graceful Foe-Prostrating Atemi Kata. Or something like that.
And thank you whoever linked to "Essence Mudra Style."

Still, if not, CONGRATULATIONS! You win!
Next, the Wind Waker without the ability to command the winds! Etc.

You heard it here: Twilights must die. They can't have Sorcery, which is already WAY too versatile, and then be Artifact-crafters on top of that.
In fact, safer to drop Serenity, Earth, Daybreak, and Defilers, too.
Alchemicals are right out.

In fact, safer to drop Serenity, Earth, Daybreak, and Defilers, too.
Alchemicals are right out.
With the the exception of The-Spell-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, there's little in Sorcery that could be considered too borked.
Show me a twilight that can do half the stuff Mesch had written up for Fae.

I'm pretty sure I could arrange something if I used a Miracle Shell or whatever it's name was...

Artifacts. Hit around 2-3 dots and you can do just about anything Meschlum's 1-5 dot stuff does. The 5-dot stuff might require more upkeep, for a 3-dot artifact, of course - or a 4 to 5 dot artifact, with materials you perhaps gain from questing against an Unshaped.
It's only the 1-dot stuff that's completely out of position.
Also Summon Elemental, Demon of the X Circle, and such.
