    Does anyone else wish that Burn Legend will be turned into a video game, with either a Dragon Age/Devil May Cry/Dragon's Dogma sort of style for combat, or a Tales/Smash Bros/Street Fighter style?

    Okay, here's a question for you guys. You can have any single charm from any book, without regards to prerequisites. You can only have the one charm, (so taking Triumphant Howl of the Devil Tiger won't give you access to the associated excellency or charm tree), but you can use it at will. What would you choose? I'm tempted to say Efficient Secretary Technique, for the ability to have pretty much all of the world's knowledge at my fingertips.

    So tough, considering we can't get other Charms from it. Still, [My Name] Cosmic Principle would make me ageless. Although, I could still be killed by something. So, maybe [My Name] Eternal Essence - I'd die of old age, but in the mean time, I'm invincible.

    No, no. [My Name] Glory Incarnate. I'll die eventually, sure. But, in the mean time, I get 20 dice to everything (barring whatever weird exception I have built into me), and a big chunk of free XP. In the real world, where highly skilled professionals are throwing around 5-6 dice, and points of XP are going to be stupidly rare. And the only cost is the inability to ever grow as a person ever again.

    Even with conviction suppressed it still functions as the cheapest second excellency: Every ability 1 success per mote.

    Chirality Prohibition Index.

    Nothing else matters. You can take over the world one city at a time, with one hour of effort per city.

    The sad part of this hypothetical exercise is just how many wonderful charms depend on prerequisite charms to function. Like PIO or Devil Tyrant Avatar Shintai.

    So... are abyssals not outside fate by default? Because someone referenced me to unseen wisp method when I tried to use a fate keyword charm on them and it seems to imply abyssals are normally inside fate.

    Abyssals are inside fate but any attempts to affect them with astrology or track them with the Loom takes a penalty.

    Well, the Fate keyword doesn't exist anymore, so uh, it really doesn't matter.

    And Abyssals are inside of fate, yes. There's some oddities with astrology and such, but they're not actually outside of fate. You need Immortal Malevolence Enslavement for that.

    Thats a hard one!

    I can think of a few possible candidates:

    Ordinary Object Conjuration: lets start making whatever I want.

    Loom-Snarling Deception: Be anyone.

    Hypnotic Tongue Technique: I, Lelouch Vi Britannia command you…

    Memory-Reweaving Discipline: You have always obeyed me, don't you remember?

    Ablation of Brass and Fire. Minus the sparks.

    Alternatively, Adamant Skin Technique or TDO's Magnificent Invincible Beast, so I'm not restricted to settlements.

    It only works to make you safely walk across narrow surfaces, It doesn't do anything about your clumsiness.

    You could always activate a Dexterity Excellency every round.

    And after thinking about it, I think I'll choose Perfection Beyond Imagining over a Perfect Defense. Because then I'm a master at everything.

    For a single Charm, Verdant Emptiness Endowment is probably objectively the best. Only being able to grant Attributes, Abilities, and Specialties is a bit limited (though still miraculous IRL), but getting people to owe you favors is very useful.

Moreover, this Charm allows the Exalt to keep his footing on any surface at least as strong and wide as a human hair. He treats it as a three-foot wide ledge capable of supporting a thousand pounds of weight when determining what movement and Athletics actions he can take and what penalties to them might apply.

    Burn Legend would make a pretty awesome video game, but you'd lose the psychological depth. Winning a fight on a double-bluff is one of the most satisfying experiences a game can give you.

    ...and now everytime this thread updates, I'm expecting Shards to be out and I'm disappointed.

    And yeah, the problem with video games (and why Exalted would never work as one) is the huge variety of things you can do in a GMed game is hugely limited in a video game. The fact is that the developers can't think of everything.
