    I forgot about MAGMA KRAKEN!

    Heheheh. But yeah, here's to hoping I'll be able to learn it eventually.

    I'm pretty much all set on artifacts, so that mantle is VERY likely out of the question. Though I have an extra dot I need to spend, which I'm debating between putting into my reinforced buff jacket, or into a minor mutation or merit.

    And I still need to figure out a good power for my awesome Daiklaive. I'm thinking possibly just a ranged fiery slash or something.. Though that seems bland.

    Mmm, double attunement.

    Edit: Should I just post up my sheet, see what you guys think of it?

    Or 'Play a God-blooded in a Celestial-tier game'. That's the sort of thing that should get you some slack cut to you.

    There is always the possibility of Exalting, though. If you give him a N/A artifact, it's like saying "no, you ain't gonna Exalt, ever".

    So I'm going to pitch a new idea for an Exalted campaign at you, so tell me if you like it:

    A Twilight Caste Solar has invented a device termed a "Jade Sphere of Elemental Containment", a sphere composed of red and white Jade that can hold an Elemental or other lesser spirit (such as a ghost) within. The Twilight then mass produced the spheres,and this has caused a new sport to arise. It is now considered cool and fashionable for Exalts to keep teams of up to six Elementals on their person within the spheres, and to make them fight for the Exalt's amusement. (If this is starting to sound familiar, it's supposed to.) In an attempt to diversify, thousands of Elementals were imported from Autochtonia, as a way for Elemental Trainers to have a more wide variety of types to obtain.

    As an Exalt who's new to the sport, can you defeat the leaders of the 8 Dojos scattered throughout the corners of Creation? Can you defeat the 4 Immaculate Masters on the Blessed Isle itself, becoming the best the sport has ever seen? And throughout all this, can you stop the evil (insert Exalted-sounding name for Team Aqua here), led by the mad Dragon-Blood, Arch over Dark Waters, from awakening the Greater Elemental Dragon of Water and flooding all of Creation?

    Yes. It's Pokémon. And Exalted. Together.

    I am so cool with Exalted pokemon. You could likely capture some Wyld creatures too, for extra fun.

    Sidenote, I think I'll just have my sword let me used Blessed Solar Bolt, or whatever it's called. ST said it was cool.

    Wow... That'll show me for making a post real quick before I have to leave for a few hours. Anyway, I don't think I really have time to ST a pbp campaign here, so if one of you wants to borrow the idea, you have my full support/permission. And it should totally work on demons too. Makes a great analogue for the Dark-Type.

    I think it would depend on which "version" you were playing. I was going with Sapphire, but if you're going with the Kukla, you'd need to come up with Exalted-sounding names for Maxie and Team Magma.

    Either one would work just as well, though.

    Uhm, here's a question- Regarding the thread's title, why ISN'T there a god for sorcery?

    ...And on that note, Fire Magic seems like a good portfolio to take over, if the position's empty. (Maybe even if it's not.)

    There's no God of Sorcery because Sorcery isn't part of Creation's actual design. Sorcery is really the domain of the Primordials - it was just hijacked by Brigid.

    And "Fire Magic" as a domain makes no sense - fire already is magic. Everything is magic. Magic isn't special.

    20 motes? That sword better be the Sword of Creation or something, cause no 5-dot artifact is worth committing 20 motes to. 10, at best.

    And no, to wear artifact armor, you have to attune to it, because it is otherwise too unbalanced, since artifact armor is in all ways superior to non-artifact armor. Attunement is the balancing cost.

    Sorry. What I mean is the Project: Exalt mentioned in the core rulebook Storytelling chapter.

    Project: Exalt is a lighthearted, goofy take on the Exalted setting. Perhaps the characters are all teenagers in a Gold Faction academy or must bring a Deathlord’s incursion to a halt by finding him a worthy date for an exclusive ball in Yu-Shan. This style doesn’t take much of anything seriously and is mostly played for laughs. The Slayers anime is a good example of this style.

    I don't watch anime.

    Though looking at it, I don't think I'd be interested. I'm more drawn to serious games, with considerations of morality and consequences of actions that were intended to make Creation better (unless we're Abyssals) or such.

    I think the only non-serious game I could really join is a game where Sidereals or Dragon-blooded actually matter.

    Tee hee. Sidereals actually mattering. That's a funny joke.

    Well, My ST and I were upgrading my 2-dot sword to a 4-dot, and from what we could figure out from Oadenol's Codex, a 4 dot artifact should need a committing of 10 motes. Myself, not being an exalt, I have to double-attune to an artifact made out of the five magical materials, hence 20 motes.

    It's statline is:

    Speed: 4 Defense 2
    Acc: 3 Damage: 16L/5L
    Rate: 5 Overwhelming, Piercing.
    Attunement: 10, activated: 6: Blazing Solar Bolt (ST modified, unsure on the details.)

    And no, to wear artifact armor, you have to attune to it, because it is otherwise too unbalanced, since artifact armor is in all ways superior to non-artifact armor. Attunement is the balancing cost.
    Alright, good point.

    I'd just opt to save myself 10 motes and not get the bonus for the magical materials honestly. Or make it out of some handwavium jade alloy made specifically for godblooded.

    That's not really a 4-dot artifact. It is a very powerful 3-dot one (possibly too powerful to exist). At 4-dot, you shouldn't get more powerful than a grand goremaul in pure stats, which this is. Instead, you should add on interesting things. This is not interesting.

    Also, you only have to pay double to attune to magical material bonuses or powers too tied to the magical material associations.

    If I was a little more confident I could pull off Storytelling via internet for a prolonged period of time, I'd totally run a sillier game.

    I'm thinking Malfeas Washington High School. 9th grade would be 1st circle demons, 10th would be stronger 1st circles and weaker 2nd circles, 11th would be the stronger 2nd circles, and the 3rd circles are the seniors.

    Now welcoming 50 new freshman exchange students from Creation.

    Here, the Principal is the school.

    Here, it takes a 5 hour trek through the desert to walk to and from school every morning and afternoon, so you have to get up at 3am every morning to make the first bell.

    Here, High School (and by association, puberty) can last up to 60 years.

    Here, if you fall asleep in Professor Kimbery's class, she'll make you swim laps. In Her.

    Only the might of the Infernal Exaltations can prepare you for sleepless nights you'll suffer at the hands of She Who Lives In Her Name's painfully complicated grading algorithm, much less the homework itself, as well as the atomic wedgies you'll undoubtedly incur from Ligier, quarterback of the Blood Bowl team, and the mocking laughter of the cheerleading squad, the notes of which have been known to materialize into razorblades and sheer flesh from bone.
