Oh yeah!
This is true.

It's Ink Monkeys, yeah. Called Concealed Form Mastery, IIRC - not that it eally matters, since they didn't make many knacks - I think that's the only Ink Monkey Knack, actually.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Does anyone know the Lunar Knack that lets you absorb the knowledge of a human target of the sacred hunt? Not the one with a floating ability dot; it lets you access your form's knowledge and memories once.

Maybe you're thinking of Lessons in the Blood? It's an Intelligence Charm rather than a shapeshifting Knack, but it does about what you're looking for. (It's in the Lunar book, p. 189.)

Thank you Volthawk. So it weren't called Beast Power Concentration ?

Actually, that sounds more like the name...

That's it exactly. Thank you.
Needed to examine the wording.

Simple: The rule, as it is in canon, means that the dragonblood eugenics programs are a monumental waste of time. And they could bring the ENTIRE POPULATION to breeding 5 in just one generation by mixing only with elementals.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
That would require cooperation from Essence 10 elementals. Go figure.

Is there any more detail to be found on Colossus and Municipal Charms, by the way?

Alright, that's it.
You're up there with Golly and Xeffles.

Not canonically, but there's a fan write-up of collossus ones somewhere on the WW forums.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
I'm just getting the image of a Raksha getting increasingly perplexed about how despite him technically never breaking character, he's been finding increasingly more of his time taken up by extreme sports when he's ostensibly the protagonist of a Courtroom Drama.
Where did it all go wrong?
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
That just sounds funny to me. xD

It could be that Extreme Sports is a new trend in courtrooms all around creation. I for one would love to see a Lava Handstand Kitesurfing competition staring all the crowned heads of Creation and beyond. Just imagine the trash-talking before it starts...

He based his version of Courtrooms on those of the inestimable P. Wright.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
It's too quiet in here. The topic of the discussion is now "How Creation would be different if the Realm were controlled by Super Kawaii Desu Empress-chan with freckles." :smalltongue:
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
*Tries to imagine the Realm ruled like that….and succeeds*
oh gods….why are they worshipping Immaculate Kittens? Why are the Dragon-Blooded involved in three-hundred sided love affairs with no killing? and why in Sol green Creation is Peleps Deled reasonable AND a fan of ponies!? and why is Lookshy the Realms most trusted ally!?
and the most important question of all: Why is Fokuf a bishonen!? :smalleek:
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
....
Why does the Unconquered Sun look like Tenchi Masaki....
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Fokuf is bishonen because gentle grandpa Kejak, the guy who makes best pastries in the whole Yu-Shan, have soft spot for Empress-chan and once shared his concerns with Luna-chan. Not that she likes bishounens mind me.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
question. in return of the scarlet empress red has all the ebon dragon charms up to her essence level because of the wedding ring right? does that include ascendancy mantle of yozi? because that means that she has one extra dot of essence, no? like if she was an akuma she would be essence 10 and be an ebon dragon that is an akuma of the ebon dragon but i can't find any part that deals when that happens
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Her Redness is Essence 10, so Ascendancy Mantle does nothing (and in fact she can't know it, because it would immediately turn back into XP).

She's Essence 8, which does actually allow for Dragon Who Swallowed the Sun, ED's most famous mode. Technically, his Jouten is actually an amorphous mass of shadows capable of taking any form between the sizes of a one foot sphere and a thousand foot sphere, but DWSS upgrades his Shintai to let him become a fifty mile long Dragon essentially at will.
That said, DWSS's text states that it makes you into a fifty mile tall representation of a true representation of your soul. In the Ebon Dragon's case, that's... An Ebon Dragon, funnily enough. Otherwise, it's your Iconic Anima. The Scarlet Empress's stat block details her Anima as a flawless red diamond.
Or to put it another way, Freckles has a fifty-mile Ruby mode.

Not in Return, she ain't.
If she was, then she'd trigger the contingency where the Wedding Band grants an Essence 10 wearer all Ebon Dragon charms, turning them into a clone of him.
Basically a backup plan in case anyone kills him then is stupid enough to put it on.
