Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
A mix of Command, Henchmen, and Retainers from MOEP: Dragonbloods would probably be the best emulation.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Ah. That sounds like exactly what I need. And looking up, I have it detailed in Scroll of Heroes. Are there any special rules from Dragonblooded that I should know about.
He fears his fate too much, and his reward is small, who will not put it to the touch, to win or lose it all.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Compared to everything else at the time, yes he was. That's all I'm saying on this, because this shouldn't go any further on this forum.
In other new, interested. *goes to read recruitment thread*

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
To be honest, what miffed me was not the fact that you had to go and cut the campaign dead - hey, real life sometimes is a bitch, I understand perfectly well - but that you disappeared without saying anything. Really, should just have left a message saying "sorry guys, can't ST anymore due to RL trouble" - everyone would have understood, seriously.
Still, hey, at least you apologized for that. So, don't worry, no harm done
Though, you forgot Tengu, who was also playing in that game. Might want to shoot him a message too.Last edited by Drascin; 2011-02-06 at 08:28 AM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Not under your command. Under your henchmen's command. It's an important distinction to make, since the chain of command tends to be imperfect (the soldiers won't necessarily listen to you if you don't command them through your henchmen, for example, and your henchmen might still disobey you from time to time).

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
No, I don't think so. I mean, he was in the recruiting thread, but...
The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Your henchmen aren't mindless slaves, though. They are people with their own dreams, hopes, motivations and needs. Sure, they'd rather follow you than not, but if you tell them something that goes against their personality, they are probably going to object.
You might be the general, but your henchmen are the commanders of your army. Those soldiers only take orders from your henchmen, and if your henchmen disagree with you, so will the soldiers.I use black for sarcasm.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
They are not. They are the ST's characters. Like I said, the chain of command is not perfect. You can only affect the immediate link. You have to go through that link to affect the next. Being Exalted makes it easier, but not automatic.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
nope their mine, my background, whats the point of them if they are controlled by ST? I don't recall them being ST chars.
and Exalted not making it automatic? dude the lowest Exalts are considered enlightened Bodhisattva's. If they don't obey me they are contradicting a demigod who can smash their face in, who are expected to abuse their power.
My henchmen obey me, without question.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
They are NPCs. Therefore, they are not PCs. Therefore, they are not controlled by players. You are a player. Therefore, you do not control NPCs.
You know what happened when Solars acted like that the last time around? The Usurpation. And even before that, thousands of mortals and Terrestrials went against the rule of the Deliberative. So, feel free to smash your henchman's face in. Just don't expect him to stay a henchman for long.I use black for sarcasm.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
dude why so serious? I'm just pointing out that I want and can get an army of 100,000 troops under my control early, stop ruining the fun. the npcs would be detailed in my background anyways, so only I could roleplay them so the ST wouldn't be able to, cause only I can really roleplay them.
chill. Not really being serious here.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Pretty sure TRD is right. Most STs will let you play your followers if you play them reasonably. But if you're using them as sheep who follow mindlessly... no ST will allow that unless the game is based on mass combat.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
don't care. chill out. why take life seriously? why take anything seriously? the worlds a joke and your the punchline. You guys want a serious game. I just want to have fun with 100,000 troops at my command.
and if you really want to be serious about, I become a schemer and instead of threatening them out right, I keep the NPC's focused on each other in their own little game of internal politics, manipulating everything so that they follow my commands- whether it is obvious that they are my commands or not, which only makes things even MORE fun.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Hey, looking at Authority Radiating Stance. Is this charm actually useful at essences below 6 or so? Seems that you'd just as easily tell the people you're interacting with that you have authority over them, and save a charm activation.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Uh, that's not really how social combat works, is it? You're saying that you can't convince anyone anything without the use of charms?

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I'd like to slightly overhaul the God-Blooded rules in Scroll of Heroes to add Dawn Errata-ish changes, to make the different types of God-Bloods more balanced against each other, and to clarify some things. Do these look like good improvements?
SpoilerPlayers receive four specialties to distribute amongst their character’s Abilities.
Virtue dots may be purchased for 1 bonus point each. However, Willpower is calculated independently of Virtues.
Characters begin with Willpower rated at 5. Willpower may be increased at a cost of 1 bonus point per dot.
Characters may start with (Willpower + Compassion) Intimacies without spending bonus points.
Charms cost 5 bonus points. (I'm considering making Half-Castes' charms still cost 7 bp, because they're generally better than spirit charms and arcanoi).
Sorcery and Necromancy charms cost 7 bonus points.
Half-Castes can learn Solar Hero Style, Dark Messiah Style, Throne Shadow Style, etc. like their parent Exalt.
Dragon-Touched are a thing again. They're heroic mortals from Dragon-Blooded families. You make them exactly like any other heroic mortals.
Actual godly God-Blooded and Half-Castes seem to have a significant leg up over the other types, since it's easier for them to recover Essence and their heritage abilities are much less situational. I'm not entirely sure what to do about that.
The Demon-Blooded "places of sin" thing is yeah. They should probably just regain Essence normally in Creation. They might also need a heritage power other than "Seeing demonic things" and less situational than "Not automatically dying in Malfeas"
Fae-Blooded seem completely screwed. Lacking GWM, I'm not really sure how to help them. Free Grace? Free Appearance dots? More Essence and the ability to respire Essence normally in Creation, because as written they're completely useless when away from the Wyld?
A lot of the mutations could use some cleanup and clarification, but that's separate.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
My logic is that the hero styles aren't any more powerful than the rest of their parents' charms, and that it's a point that needs to be clarified. Do you think it's a bad idea?
So what's special about them? What's the point of making one?

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
So, it's just a name for non-exalted nobles of houses? Then what's the difference with the current set up?
