Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Sidereals and Terrestrials don't suffer Limit, but they still suffer the Great Curse - Sidereals are cursed to massive displays of hubris, especially when they gather in large numbers, and Terrestrials tend towards excesses of emotion.
Neither of these have any mechanical effect because they're the weakest of the curse - most Neverborn were killed by Solars and Lunars, after all.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Sidereals and Terrestrials do suffer Limit. It's just that the equivalent of a Limit Break condition for Sidereals (like full moon light for Lunars) comes up very rarely for Sidereals, so they gain Limit only very slowly, while such a condition does not exist for Terrestrials. They still gain Limit from suppressing their primary Virtue or spending Willpower to resist unnatural mental influence, and still have Limit Break when they have 10 points of Limit.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
OK, thanks. I thought the Curse's effect on Sidereals was more overreaction than hubris ("Clearly, we need to overthrow the Solars!" "The only reasonable response to this situation is to release the Kukla!"), but hubris makes sense. And all I knew about Limit was that it exists and creates Limit Breaks.

Sidereal plans tend to get more insane the more Sids are around making the plan. Get all hundred together, and, well...
Not all hundred planned the Usurpation, you know. Some of them disagreed and didn't participate.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Here's a question: how would you build Ezio from Assassin's Creed 2 and Kratos from God of War series?
Also, while you're at it, include Nero and Dante from Devil May Cry and Bayonetta from, well, Bayonetta.I use black for sarcasm.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
I'd say Dawn Caste Solar. They already have his weapon of choice, the Blades of Chaos, in the form of the Chain Daiklave (Scroll of the Monk) if you dual-wield two of them. So, he'll need four background points for that.
Other than that, you just want some Melee (definitely Peony Blossom and Iron Whirlwind, as he has an exact approximation of these charms in the 'Cyclone of Chaos' attack), Resistance, and a few Dodge and Presence charms. Max out his physical stats and Wits, with above-average Charisma. He can dump pretty much everything else.
If you really wanted to, you could also throw in Glory to the Most High (Glories of the Most High: Unconquered Sun) as a Rage of the Gods/Rage of the Titans/Rage of Sparta mechanic.
EDIT: Also, 1 Compassion, 5 Conviction, 1 Temperance, 5 Valor; what can I say, he min/maxed himself. Probably Foolhardy Contempt or Heart of Flint as his virtue flaw.Last edited by Xefas; 2010-10-16 at 01:58 PM.

Ezio I'm not completely sure, having never really played the games. But at a glance, I'd guess Night caste with Social skills as a secondary and a high perception with awareness charms.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Guys! I have a very complex question!
Some of you may recognize this as one of my earlier ideas that never panned out, but after discussing Exalted in modern Earth with a friend, I really want to come back to this. As such, I'm directly quoting what I posted on the White Wolf forums. Any references to White Wolf forums as such are not excised. But know that I love you very very much.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Actually, I would place Kratos as more of a Fire-Aspect Terrestrial. His power is inherited after all, and a Solar wins by sheer power, a Terrestrial (and Kratos in all his boss fights) has to work for it. And the Blades are supposed to be flaming weapons anyway. All of his powers are element-based in one way or another. The only really "Solar" thing he does is the Fleece, but it's not a perfect defense. I do see him as working towards Celestial martial arts though.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
If we were placing him in a 'type' based on some kind of transparency between the settings, he'd be a Godblooded, as his power comes from being Half-God, the Golden Fleece would be an Artifact, and his special abilities beyond superhuman strength, toughness, and martial prowess would all be boons granted to him by other entities (or just more Artifacts), and not inherent charms or abilities of his own.
And I'm not sure what you mean by Solars not having to work for things? If I recall correctly, they all fought, died, reincarnated, fought, and died again in a cycle of frustrating carnage for hundreds of years to defeat the Primordials. I would call this work.5e D&D Mythos Classes

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Maybe because its tricky to figure out how a city would be able to use certain charms. Like any kind of perfect dodge. Or Thousandfold Courtesan Calculations, though I think Las Vegas can do that as a reflexive action.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Aw man, y'know what would be hot? Alchemical Municipal charms with two parts. Normal Exalted Charm Effect + Special Mandate of Heaven Charm Effect.
Though, I was under the impression it was kind of moot anyway. Aren't there not going to be any more Exalted 2nd edition books after that Return of the Scarlet Empress thing that came out? Or is my information wrong (haven't looked into it much)?5e D&D Mythos Classes

CoCD: Autobot is coming out in 3 sections iirc.
Other than that, I think there was one more but I forget.
Hopefully 3rd Edition will have less books, but more info in each.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
I'm always a little sad when I see a new Exalted game pop up in the pbp forum. I like Exalted (definitely in my top 5 systems), but I've tried pbp formats for many games over the years, and found it, at the very least, frustrating.
Although, if someone were to run something IM or voice based over Skype, I'd be all over that.

Re: General Exalted Discussion: There's a God for that! Except for Sorcery, of course
Oooooo, that game looks interesting. And it's still accepting characters while it has thirteen prospectives? Hmmm...I may have to jump on that.
Good god, then the hardest part comes up. Dusting off the books and choosing what to play. That's one of the biggest problems with Exalted: too much awesome to pick from.5e D&D Mythos Classes
