    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.

    The Maiden of Endings is more than just the Goddess of Death. Although she is the Goddess of Death, sorta.

    And she doesn't need to come up to you to kill you. She just snips your thread in the Loom of Fate once your time is up.

    I know. But when the threads keep dodging her damn scissors she sends one of her Sidereals down to fatekick the problem.

    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.

    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.

    Thats hardly a problem, you just need to combine it with a charm that removes the need for sleep (i am guessing there is some sort of charm that does that).

    From my limited understanding, Hibernation is distinct from regular sleep.

    Yes, why do you think i say it should be combined with a charm that removes the need for sleep?

    So...if the charm removes the need to sleep, but the condition imposed is hibernation, how does that help? You still have to hibernate.

    ...
    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?

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

    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.

    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.

    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).

    Okay, now the rest of the game is about finding a way to restore the fundamental laws of thermodynamics after you successfully destroy them... because the consequences of destroying Thermodynamics would be terrifying.

    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 Storyteller Blood-Ape. Not to mention the Willpower cost of putting the Blood-Ape in the crystal...
