Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Unrelated note, but there's an idea that's being fielded for a game at the moment, involving a small group of Devil Tigers busting out of Hell and doing their best to avoid Yozi retribution for their actions. Which might involve running to the Unconquered Sun for sanctuary. Or any number of other possibilities.
Mostly proposed because I'd love to see some potential RP involving the various power players in Exalted done well. And because the game is in need of a Storyteller, before I cave and sign myself up for running another game I almost certainly have no time to do properly. Blasted interesting ideas..."Not trusting me might be the smartest decision you made since getting off of your horse."

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Could ageing/being old be considered a Crippling effect? Maybe Sickness?
Could a stunt allow "curing" it with a Charm?Last edited by Kobold-Bard; 2012-10-27 at 04:53 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Aging and being old are intrinsic parts of a being, not a sickness or crippling effect. You could use mutations to extend someones life, or use certain life extending drugs, but you can't just stunt a medicine roll to do it.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Well, I think I've just made the freakiest character I've yet made for exalted. He's a blind smelly fish person who navigates by echolocation and who infects people with contagious hallucinations by physical contact, as well as fleshwarping and summoning hideous mutants and demons. And he hangs out in swamps and is always hungry... always the hunger...

Seems like a good candidate for that one swamp based primordial. Starts with a m.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Bluh... I wish I had the Dragon-Blooded book. There's no way I'm getting it now, though, not with it being one of 3e's first books and 2e's badly balanced books.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Yeah, the DB book is problematic; I like it, but nearly every Charm ended up receiving errata, and for good reason.
It is inevitable, of course, that persons of epicurean refinement will in the course of eternity engage in dealings with those of... unsavory character. Record well any transactions made, and repay all favors promptly.. (Thanks to Gnomish Wanderer for the Toreador avatar! )

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
This raise an interesting question for 3E though. As Solars are once again the system baseline (since they are in core so everything will inevitably be compared to them) and DB are again early in the cycle: Will the same problems arise as with 2E?
Power creep and system baseline meant Solars were the focus of most of the errata cycles. As mechanics changed or improved DB were left behind. Are we going to see Solars getting stealth errata in other people books every time someone has a cool idea? Are we going to see Solars getting propped up when the later books come out and the writing has gotten better and the mechanics tighter?
No doubt 3E will start better than 2E is now. The question is will it suffer the same kinds of problems?Many, many thanks to azuyomi244 for the avatar.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
The problem with DBs wasn't that they were written early. It's that they were written before the core rules were finalized. This is why without errata many of their Charms don't make sense or just don't do anything.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
I'm sort of interested in seeing a trend here: which is your preferred order of splats? Just interest-wise; not actually playing as them in 2e. Let's not chat about the topic until three or four people have already posted. Please and thank you.
01) Infernals
02) Dragonblooded
03) Alchemicals
04) Abyssals
05) Dragon-Kings
06) Spirits
07) Lintha
08) Raksha
09) Sidereals
10) Lunars
11) Tyrant Lizards
12) Mortals
13) Godbloods (non-Lintha)
14) Jadeborn
15) Solars

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
I'm going to separate the list into groups to show when some are really close together.
01)Alchemicals
02)Dragon-Blooded
03)Sidereals
04)Infernals
05)God-Bloods
06)Spirits
07)Solars
08)Raksha
09)Abyssals
10)Dragon Kings
11)Lunars
12)Jadeborn
13)Mortals
That seems about right.Avatar by Elagune

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
(grumble, grumble)
This is as said stuff currently stands.
01) Solars
02) Infernals (non-DT)
03) Raksha (sans Shaping Combat)04) AbyssalsSpoilerThese three are both awesome and amazingly versatile. I scoff at anyone who calls Solars boring. Especially you. Scoff, scoff. Having run Infernals, I know how awesome they are. Raksha are one of the most versatile toolboxes out there, of course.
05) Dragon-Blooded
06) Sidereals
07) Alchemicals08) DemonsSpoilerThese four are both reasonably cool, but can be kinda niche cases sometimes. Sidereals, for instance, can make fun antagonists or companions for the circle, and their Charms are all kinds of fun, but it's a worrisome prospect to introduce them without dragging the game into Yu-Shan. Likewise with Abyssals and Alchemicals. I like Creation. It's an interesting place. Yes, the other places are there, and they're interesting, but for the most part, I see little reason to jettison a game there.
Also, the whole "become a city at elder Essence" bit confuses me, or at least, the bit where people keep saying they want to play such.
09) Jadeborn
10) Dragon KingsSpoilerThese aren't things I want to play, but that I find fun to read over from time to time.
11) Infernals (DT)12) God-BloodedSpoilerThe forums are what did it in for me, for Devil-Tigers. Like other elder Essence stuff, it's a very interesting prospect, but once this stuff was released, it's like everyone's in a race to get there.
13) Elementals
14) Gods (living in Creation)15) MortalsSpoilerElementals seem fun, but I'd like to see more done with them. Gods living in Creation are in the same boat.
16) Gods (living in Yu-Shan)
17) Lunars18) Least god of a small stoneSpoilerMortals would be cool, had they not been in Scroll of Heroes. Lunars and Yu-Shan's gods both seem like they could have been fun, had the stuff for them not been so ****dark.
19) Raksha (using Shaping Combat)
20) Ghosts
21) Lintha
22) HaltansSpoilerThese are things that I absolutely don't want to play or even use; heck, it's probably going to take outright miraculous writing to get me to want to play these in 3e.Last edited by TheCountAlucard; 2012-10-29 at 07:07 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion XII: One More and Get a Free Deathlord
Strong Favorites:
1) Alchemicals

Like:
5) Lunars
Dislike Mildly:
6) Spirits/Godblooded
7) Solars

Strong Distaste:
9) Abyssals

Others (Ghosts, Jadeborn, Dragon Kings, Etc.) are unlisted due to insufficient information. Note that this is a commentary on what I like to play, not what I like as a setting piece.
