That is how Abyssal recruiting works, assuming you accept the deal.

Isn't the Exalted Grim Reaper a hot chick in purple?
I.e. while it's possible to punch her, it's still bloody difficult.

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
There are plenty of ways to cheat death in Exalted. In fact, they're pretty easy to find! The problem is finding the one that doesn't have terrible, terrible consequences.
I mean, Gem of Immortality? Good luck turtling in your manse forever! Don't forget to send someone to stop your enemies moving a rock ten miles away! Celestial wine? Good on ya! Remember, you'll need to keep on earning those shady favours you need!
Those are the best ways to live forever.

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
With proper manse building, which is quite easy to do if you are an elder celestial exalted, it's quite easy to make a hidden, protected by a small army of second circle demons (or equivalent in power), indestructible fortress. It only goes off from there.
This subject was being discussed some time ago in rpg.net, and if I remember right, one of the writers (I think it was Stephnis, but don't quote me on that), commented that the way he saw, Celestial Exalted were caught by surprise by the fact they could in fact die from old age. After the first few died, they quickly developed ways to prevent this from happening again. After that, the solars and lunars just died from the usual, violent, ways.

There's a Lunar charm in Glories: Luna to de-age yourself while hibernating, though even at its best published upgrade it only de-ages you twice as fast as the passage of time.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
...
I don't know?
If you're not sleeping, you're not hibernating, so you can't use the charm. The need for sleep is irrelevant.
On immortality - I seem to recall hearing of someone "hacking" their shard of Exaltation so that it carried their memories and personality with it, overwriting the next Exalt (like what appears to have happened to Misho). Is that canon, or fan speculation, or a toast-induced dream?Last edited by Revlid; 2010-04-03 at 02:40 PM.

Seems to be slightly canon, what with the Infernal abilities/past life merit. Not sure, however.

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
I think the way it works is by merely transferring your memories and skills; since your successor has a different soul, even with all else being equal you'd be a different person.

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
I don't know if it's canon, or if it would work—between Lytek's oversight and the fact that the reincarnation possesses a different soul, there's plenty that could go wrong, and you only get 1 chance to get it right—but it definitely sounds like the sort of morally questionable messing-with-things-that-man-was-not-meant-to-mess-with that some First Age Solars would have tried to do.

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
Why stop at Dodge charms? What about a Melee charm(I cut the years off me, making me physically younger)? It could be expanded into an Archery charm(I tear off and fire the years at my enemy), a Martial Arts charm(I punch myself to youth) and other more hilarious implications(Bureaucracy: I file five hundred years away and forget about them).

"So, I can use a charm to reverse the effects of time, yes? I can turn back entropy, at least for a little while. Can I use a charm to grant myself more essence than it costs?"
"I'm sorry, that's impossible. Charms take Essence, even in exalted you can't get something from nothing. You have to put in the energy to do it, just like thermodynamics."
"Oh. Okay, then. I guess I'll just punch entropy."
"What?"
"I'm going to beat up the laws of thermodynamics so I can get free stuff. Is there any reason I shouldn't? I'm a superweapon intended to kill abstract concepts, yes?"

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
This is why my Thaumateurge has the Essence she gets from her Yasal crystal's Blood-Ape's Essence Plethora in a seperate category from her Personal Essence. Quickly and easily regain Essence... So long as it doesn't exceed ten motes overall, or the process of being shuffled in and out of a Yasal crystal repeatedly doesn't tick off the
StorytellerBlood-Ape. Not to mention the Willpower cost of putting the Blood-Ape in the crystal...Half-Orc Scout by Magioth

Re: Keychain of Creation 3: Not-a-Keyblade Understanding & Falafel-is-Awesome Prana C
I'd like to say that I love the comic even without any jokes. I'd also like to hide my avatar, but that's not going to help, as I'd later change it back.
And put forward the guess that Secret gives up Cluivnarihe as her 'Sacrifice'.
