Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Hah, great title.
On a tangent, Combo-OK is a stupid keyword. If 90% of all Charms have it, there should be an opposite keyword for the other 10% instead.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Errata Is Combo-OK! Shame fewer developers ( or publishers ) release it.
:smallbiggrin:
Good thread title. Also, charms are by default not compatible with other charms unless they have a key-word. So...you're suggesting that Default or Combo-NO could be new key-words?

I'm suggesting that instead of having a general rule ("no combo by default") that necessitates most Charms are exceptions from it (Combo-OK), you could have the opposite general rule ("combo by default") and point out the much much fewer exceptions (Combo-No).
It'd save word count, and look neater.

Well, yeah, but that would make sense.
That should explain to you plenty enough why the Exalted writers of the day didn't do it :smalltongue:.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
That's...a pretty good idea. Either way there would have to be a clause of, "Charms use Key-Words to determine what kind of Combos can be made with those charms, if any."
But actually, that perspective turns mine up-side down. It's a much more...permissive way of wording things.
Do you plan to re-label all Solar charms then?
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Nah. The benefits would be that it might free up word count for authors and please my own aesthetic senses better. For the end user, it'd be about the same. I'm just bitching, really. :smallwink:

That was the EC. So if napalm is flaming vitriol, then it all actually makes sense. I love it when a plan comes together. :smallbiggrin:
Though on the topic: Intolerable Burning Truths represents things Kimbery learned from the EC. Existence is Agony in particular raises some questions. While Malfeas has lost all sense of subtlety he may have had as the EC, does he kill because he cares?

No offense intended, but (at least to me) "sounds evil if you growl it" and "my spider sense tells me" are not cogent arguments. It's fine if you don't like it; it's less fine if you say it's bad because you don't like it, and can't make a substantial argument as to why.
I'll admit, I might be a little biased - I've never even met a Satanist, let alone had him rifle through my gardening book for words to steal - but I just don't see a problem with it.

The comments about growling and spider sense was just me trying to keep the debate from getting dead serious, because there's no reason for things to get all uptight over something as minor as names. Also I was trying to avoid linking TVTropes. But like my comment about "cellar door," the standard interpretation of certain linguistic constructs leads to well-mapped linguistic interpretations: if you're listening to elvish, you expect it to sound like a Romance language. I just feel that by stressing the players call the Liminals Chernozem, they're trying to invoke standardized tropes and draw "awesome" from them. While as Terrestrials (-ish), I wouldn't mind that they had an epithet that broke the pattern as does "dragonblooded," the deliberate use of a foreign word to invoke mystique seems to be poor writing to me more than anything. And they don't even have the "they're alien" excuse as with raksha and demons. I mean, calling them Chernozem in the Polish book makes sense. Calling them Chernozem in the English book is silly.
And note that I said fake Satanist. The real ones actually have dignity.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
So the next Fire Aspect should be "The flaming fire", whose motivation is along the lines of "burn the world". Or would that be a loyalist midnight. Or whatever the abyssal equivalent of a zenith is.

Eyup.
On the other hand, the total wordcount lost to Combo-OK is something on the order of 3000 words, spread out across something like 23 different publications. That would be enough to have maybe an extra paragraph or sidebar in each of those books, not even a full Charm.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I have a question.
My GF and I want to make Exalted characters based on Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, specifically from the BBC show. Sherlock would be a Solar, and John would be his Lunar. However, we don't know much about the system or the fluff. Any advice on building this?

Sherlock has High Conviction, Med Temperence, Med Valor, Low Compassion. I think there is a sociopath Flaw, but I hesitate to recommend that because he still displays emotion and Flaws are, well, Flaws. For Attributes I would say 2/4/2 3/5/4 4/5/4. High Investigation, Awareness, Bureaucracy and maybe Athletics. Some kind of high-Int MA that deals with possibilities (that's more of the American version though). I would fluff him as homoromantic asexuall.
John: 3/3/4 3/1/3 3/3/3 I dunno. Medicine. He thinks he has a Pox but he doesn't. Compassion>Valor>Temperence=Conviction.

Yea, I'm not using that

Liminals? roll off the tongue, are quick, have the same naming scheme as all the others, sounds like a clear bell with all the clarity of transparency and such. its like clear water standing still, a lake that you can use as a mirror.
Liminals. Liminals, Liminals, Liminals. A good word for an Exalted is one you can say all day.
That word
.no
.just no. Not even as an epithet.
I've heard however they are going to some kind of champions or Lethe or something. which means my epithet for the Liminal Exalted is going to be Gravekeepers.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Triply so when they say it's out of theme, without actually knowing what themes they're talking about....

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Wrong, I said aesthetically it doesn't fit. it could the thematics like a frigging glove and I still would not care. the fact that its a name for good farming soil makes it suck, and I care even less what language its from.
presentation and aesthetics are important to. I will not play something with sucky names or colors that don't match quite right. its awkward and out of place. the fact that they apparently chose that word as their real name and Liminals as the epithet makes it even worse, as the way one would see it now,
it would inconsistent and out of place even more among all the Exalts being: Solars, Lunars, Terrestrials, Sidereals and so on, it just makes more sense to call them Liminals to match, even if that weird word is closer to thematics.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Again, I find it laughable to declare something doesn't fit without knowing what it is supposed to fit into. Note that they have been called the Black Earth exalted by at least a couple, so that leads me to believe there's a reason, and not just the writers choosing names out of a hat.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I quite like the world Liminal Exalted. It does roll off the tongue very easily.
However, I must say I like the other sobriquets as well. Chernozem feels heavy and somewhat threatening. Real. I like to roll on the r. Children of the Black Earth also has a distinctly... well, I want to say down to earth feeling, which would sound silly, but that's what it feels like.
The other Exalts are Lawgivers and golden kings and terrible monsters and have blood of dragons and all kind of fantasy stuff. These guys? They feel grittier. I imagine a misty day, there's rain in the air and the farmers are ploughing their fields. The wet air clings to their back and the black soil gleams thick and rich around the plough. There is strength born from years and generations in that earth. Pride. Life. The earth treats them as they treat it.
Of course, I know jack about how the Chernozem will actually be, but yeah, I like the names.
The name I dislike the most in probably Warden for Lunars. I just think it misses the point. The Terrestrials should be the Wardens instead. It might fit better after the Lunar errata, but I'm not counting on it.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Is English your native language? Mine isn't, and so the "feel" you put in Chernozem that the others don't have...They've always been there for me. the inverted "<adjective> Exalted"::"<sobriquet>" part does indeed feel unnecessary, but not troublesome.
The sobriquet itself? Really doesn't feel different any more than the others do.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
English is my native language, and I really don't find anything wrong with the word Chernozern. Hell, I like that it's something different than what has been used with every other exalt type.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Well I'll never be happy with the term. to me "Chernozem" is the lingual aesthetic equivalent to a bratty 90's teen who thinks he is "X-treme" showing up at a formal dinner party where everyone is wearing suits and dresses, while he is dressed in casual street clothes while spouting out stupid slang filled with X's and Z's. completely inappropriate and out of place, and not caring for the etiquette of the situation at all.
I'm calling them Liminal Exalted, and thats what they are no matter how "kewl" or whatever that word is. there is a certain etiquette to Exalted naming that needs to be observed, and if I'm the only one to do it, so be it.

what I'm saying that it doesn't the naming etiquette. Solars, Lunars, Sidereals, Terrestrials, Alchemicals, Abyssals, Infernals, Liminals. they fit.
that word? doesn't. its not about whether its formal, a man in a suit speaking flowery language being formal to a bunch of casual people spouting slang at a wild party is just as inappropriate.

I think you're looking at this wrong. Exalted isn't about whats apropos, it's about what's awesome and cool and sexy and rad and potato and sweet cornbread and vittles. The suited man speaking French and nibbling on my ear is clearly superior to a rowdy fangangbloonum. In this manner, Chernozem is aight.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I think you are looking at the naming convention the wrong way.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Especially given that there are strong hints that these Exalted, unlike all the others, don't descend from Autochthon's blueprints. Having a different name makes a great deal of sense then.
-
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Maybe the problem people are having with "Chernozem"<>"Liminal Exalted" is that pretty much every other exalted type has "Fancy word"<>"Plain english description". Chernozem might be a proper english word, but unless you spend lots of time farming, you have never heard of it. So if they were "Chernozem-al* exalted", commonly called "Black Earth Guardians", people would have fewer problems with their naming. If they are alternately "Chernozem Exalted" or "Liminal Exalted", that isn't bad either.
*Or however slavic words get turned into adjectives. Preferably how slavic words get turned into adjectives.

The more I hear about these Chernozem the less that I like them. They don't have any place in the setting as is. Making them fit in less is going to make them even harder to sell.

No, it doesn't fit. Conventions are called conventions for a reason. Nomenclature exists because of the identification of traditions and similarities. Raziere is correct that the C-word does not fit for exactly the reason he stated. It is not presented in contemporary English.

Think about it. Thousands, perhaps millions, of monks of the Immaculate Order learn how to manipulate essence through thaumaturgical rituals every day in Creation. One of them should be able to attract a Celestial Exaltation Shard.

Yes, but that monk is not a dragon-blooded, nor does he become something recognizable as such except through deliberate deception :p
I see what you mean by conventions. Yes, Chernozem is the first to deviate from the convention. That is a valid point, but not one that bothers me. "Soilers" ain't a good sobriquet tho :D. I wonder what they'll do with it.
Btw, I am currently writing a js suite of stuff to aid in running the game. Health tracker, battle timer, dice roller...the whole thing. If anyone is willing to help I'll be greatly pleased.
Some things about it...
- Prettification will likely come last, as I'm horrible with it.
- It uses jquery and jqueryUi.
- One can open multiple instances of the healthtracker, as well as add/remove damage taken. Their size is also customizable within the -0 -> -4 range
I only just started, it's fun stuff. If you have a suggestion of what it should have, or how it should work, please let me know.

I wrote a set of macros for the tabletop utility Maptool, if you're familiar with it. If you need help with setting up any of the basic formulas, then I can see if I've already worked it out. Are you including the ability to save characters? Without that feature in Maptool, it would have been a pain to keep track of the stats for whatever form the Lunars were in at the time, and while I didn't have any Infernals, they would cause the same sort of issue. Since character data is preserved, I created duplicates of the variables that held their human statistics and made a unique set of macros for each Lunar that set the main attribute values to the proper amount, drawing from the copies I made for returning to human form.
