First Welrub Excellency
Cost: 1m per die; Mins: Essence 1; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None

The Giant of the Playground expresses whimsical humor in all he does. He wanders where he may, creating art as he goes and spreading good cheer. He is never malicious and always optimistic, but he loves argument and debates of all kinds, fostering them wherever he goes.

Characters may apply this Charm to any action that causes laughter or hope. Any action that would deliberately inflict harm, physical or otherwise, upon someone who has shown no hostility to the Infernal is forbidden. This Charm may also always be used to create art, for such are his greatest loves.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

There. New thread that won't get us stabbed by the mods. Oh, yeah, and I'm getting ready for that Valkhawsen game. Any ideas for crazy things I could include for the Quest?

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Subscribing To Thread Prana

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

I think we can get rid of the Excellency now. That was for a title two threads ago.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Eh, it's not doing harm there.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

In case people didn't see it before the new thread opened, it's Burn Legend: The Movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7l3okIqnCg

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

I repeat my objection: But Burn Legend is meant to have a contemporary setting.

Because it's Street Fighter The RPG.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Two questions for the new thread:

1. Given that when a Lunar shapeshifts Moonsilver armour shifts with them, does that mean that Moonsilver Warstriders would as well; taking on the animal traits, but on a huge scale?

2. If a GSP used Eldritch Secrets Mastery to make themselves seem to be a Dragonblood, could they access the Dragon’s Roar Resonance Engine ability of a Voidfighter Gunship (Shards p.20), since they can take on the aspect of another Exalt type's essence?

1. Up to the ST, but I'd rule it as a higher Essence Knack or a unique Warstider effect. Also note that MS armor is mostly MS, while a MS WS would have lots of little nibbly bits of jade plates, starmetal wiring, orichalcum capacitors and such. So it might be able to shift a little but not from like a Lionstrider to a Bunnystrider.

2. Don't have Shards but part of disguising yourself as another Exalt type is getting the perks! Although IIRC ESM is pretty low E? So I'd call it a second purchase or further charm to get magical benefits. I should have reread the charm before commenting :P

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Actually, moonsilver warstriders are mentioned in WotLA, and it goes on to mention that out of Ma-Ha-Suchi's collection, only his royal ones have any shapeshifting capability. Such shapechanging is usually part of an advanced stealth cloaking system, and in those cases it's to turn into stuff like rocks and trees. One other shapechanging warstrider was mentioned, and from how I read it, it seemed to be its own thing rather than a standard feature.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

I think it also says somewhere that royal and colossus 'striders are made entirely out of one material, down to the smallest springs and sprockets.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

That's in the fluff, but who reads the fluff in Exalted?

All the people in the White Wolf Exalted forum.

No seriously, they are freaking picky about the fluff, they will pick out little words and details and such and from those little details, derive this whole theory or whatever about how things are in the game that somehow ruin Exalted for themselves, then declare that this little detail needs to be deleted from Exalted canon forever because of that.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

So, the WW forum is Pelleps Delad?

I'm going to go make a thread about that over there >:D

Yeah? So? By the lore, the exalted didn't just suddenly appear with M16s. They've been around for a looong time, and it's rather easy to adjust.

White Wolf made an actual Street Fighter RPG years ago.

Because you can't just SWAP THE FLUFF!

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Fluff is the only thing worth reading in the Exalted books...

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Well you all know the old saying: Fluff>Crunch.

Nope!

The fluff is absolute immutable in that book presenting four different ways of fluffing the Exalted setting.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

I bet you I could change the Burn Legend setting into a Wuxia setting in a day without losing any of the character types.

1. Solars are all about swapping the fluff. If they weren't bound by the human aesthetic, I would already be a dragon-man doing various solar things through conjured Icefire inventions.

2. mechanics are just the skeleton, what matters is the flesh that you put on that skeleton. I mean think of it this way: the basic attributes and skills are just numbers right, models to represent person doing actions in the game, right? they don't actually affect the aesthetic of the character or what they look like or what they are, just what actions they can model in game mechanic terms.
Why should the rest of the mechanics like charms be any different? just because its named "Fireball" doesn't mean its actually a Fireball- it can be Shadowball, Necroball, Iceball, Electroball, Plagueball whatever, as long as it follows what the mechanic models.

Fair folk are designed around such aesthetic flexibility, as well as pretty much every narrative game I know about. You can swap the fluff, its one of the most easiest and creative things you can do, and is done throughout all or at least many RPGs.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

Raziere, it looks like you fell into a sarchasm there. Might want to watch out for them better. They're hard to spot on the internet.

It uses Misleading Text!

Critical hit! It was Super Effective!

Lord Raziere has fainted!

I'm sorry. I am tired, I should be asleep, and I couldn't help it.

Alright, I think I have a suitable argument in this debate.

You play Exalted for the fluff. If you want to play a game of Dragonball Z, you play Mutants and Masterminds, or Strands of Fate.

You do not play Exalted only for the canon fluff. The Incarnae aren't interfering because they're actually all imprisoned? Autochthon has already fallen to the form of the Bleeding Engine or the Engine of Extinction, with some of his people and champions just barely making it through a breach in the Seal? As long as it fits into the world at large, sure. Plot hooks and even series hooks can be fabricated from a few pieces of canonical information and a "what if" attitude.

Now Burn Legend. Burn Legend is different. Burn Legend is fast, simple, and combat-focused. If you want to play Burn Legend for the mechanics, that's fine.

Uhm, people play the game for whatever they want. For some that's the lame-o mechanics. For others it's the canon fluff. For others, it's related fluff but with differences.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord

So, I'm trying to design a custom Cecelyne charm.

The basic idea is a charm building off of her wish-granting charms, that allows her to grant charms in response to the wishes. What minimum Essence would work best for that sort of thing? Should it require a lot of other prerequisites or just Verdant Emptiness Endowment?

As for restrictions, it seems pretty obvious that it shouldn't be able to grant Holy charms, Sidereal martial arts and probably not Sorcery initiation...

You mean aside from the charm that already grants charms? In The Broken Winged Crane? I mean, if you're granting other charmsets, that's different enough to warrant its own discussion.
