General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate

[tonberrian]

Hello, all. Somewhat new to Exalted, and have a couple of questions.

1.) Are there any houserules that are generally held to move the system's logical result away from paranoia combat, or any guidelines for working within the system to not have to worry about it? I'd hate for all those nifty offensive charms to not see any use, but neither do I want to make my character die like a punk for no reason if the ST accidentally makes something more lethal than anticipated.

2.) Are there any general social rules that are unique to games of Exalted?

3.) Chainklave: good weapon or best weapon?

1.) Yes, there are several. Which ones and how effective they are depend on who you're asking, I don't have a list, but someone will shortly.

2.) Not sure what you mean. IC or OOC?

3.) Good weapon. Better are Beamfists, Beam Boots, Beam Serpent Sting Staffs, Beam Chainklaves, and Mist Beam Chainklaves.
