General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate

[Urpriest]

If you just want a high essence slave, attune to a high Essence noble's Heart Grace. Costs 1 committed mote, gives you an utterly loyal minion. Give it Soul Carving Artifice and it can reinvent itself (and its stuff) completely over the course of a scene, and permanent Assumption of the Person's Heart so it's melded to you until you die and can share its powers - including its pseudo-perfect parries.

Hmm, this is what I was looking for.

Some background: standard Exalted fluff is that the world of Exalted eventually gets bent and diminished into the world we have today, with scientists acting as the enforcers of dismal order. Sort of oWoD Technocracy-style. Don't know if it's repeated anywhere else, but it's on the back of the core book. None of the major factions seem like they'd be cool with that. But mortals, if science-minded, might be. Problem is, mortals are weak. But if there's some way for a mortal to exploit a powerful enough entity, then appropriately science-minded mortals could do this often enough to change the status quo. And fair folk are oh so delightfully exploitable.
