Seeking players and storyteller for Mixed Exalted 3E game

[Kell_tamer]

I plan on Six not having had any formal martial arts training though she might start taking styles to augment things like White Reaper and such. I was leaning melee cause its kind of interesting that its a more deliberate aim and strike style though all the sidereal combat skills are cool in this edition. (Brawl is all about being just the biggest bully)

I plan on her being able to do feats of strength as well. Small but powerful basically. Not building to be optimized in arms race method either. I've been in those games where the ST would just deliberately look at my build and throw things that hard countered it always so I was just constantly not having fun doing the thing I wanted to actually do.

Restructuring and edit of Solar Charms and Solar Charm Tree. If you look on the offical discord you'll see it there.

Also splats allowed: Solars, Abyssals, Sidereals, and Lunars. Not going to allow Exigents despite using them myself for REASONS and no Dragon Blooded because they aren't going to keep up, plus social reasons.

Sick. Are we planning to use standard character creation from the core, or the Unified XP hack from Crucible that flattens costs and eliminates the BP/XP split and the funky math that results?

For what it's worth, I'd cast my vote for Unified XP; besides eliminating the math funkiness, the XP rate/Essence thresholds are a bit nicer for the unfortunately slow pace PBP can hit.

Scruffy.Gif in response to Unified XP

[Benoojian]

I kind of want to run a Solar Crafter.

[Lentrax]

Dang. I was thinking of doing a Dragon-Blooded.

I’ll need another idea. We already have a couple siddies and a lunar. So maybe I’ll be the token solar.

[DrakeRaids]

Solars are rad. I never got why people give them a side eye, they're probably my second third favorite behind Lunars and Infernals.

I don't have strong opinions about XP and advancement; I'm down for whatever.

[Kell_tamer]

Solars are actually the most commonly played splat. Like they are actually the favored among the setting. I just have a character concept that funnily works with basically every main type (Dawn revolutionary, Dusk who died leading an uprising, Lunar breaking of chains, and sidereal revolutionary who is meant to be forgotten, and even a dragon blooded works) And I kinda wanted to try some cool esoteric sids stuff since 3e made it being a sidereal not part of heaven isn't shooting yourself in the foot this go around.

Unified because lol

[Kell_tamer]

if this game gets far enough i'm eyeballing Charcoal March of Spiders if only cause its the only one that compliments the current build idea.

[DrakeRaids]

If you put a gun to my head I'd say Venwinter would end up with Obsidian Shards but that's far enough away that it could well be anything honestly.

[Obscurejones]

Got a full moon bearded vulture or a solar pretending to be a wise old dynast on offer… Might go with Honored Uncle Joji. He’ll need some tweaks for the new charm system.

[Benoojian]

Starting work on Fire From Within Stone, Twilight and Craft Supernal Solar. He takes pride in his work, and is surprisingly humble for a Solar, preferring to use his tools to gift others with the means to succeed.

The hardest part of making a crafter is making myself pick some charms from outside the Craft trees. It is a VERY hungry charm tree. I absolutely love that Project slots got nixed, they were terrible and inconsistent.

[Obscurejones]

Still working on rebuilding his charm layout, but here is what we have so far.

Honored Uncle Joji

You know him, of course. After all, everyone knows Honored Uncle Joji. He's... Possibly your mother's brother? That can't be right... Well, he's definitely your Honored Uncle.

Tsaąrkoma, the Jackal at the Boneyard Gate.
Angry necro pupper.

[Benoojian]

I need to roll as part of character creation as a crafter, as Golden Calibration gives a bit of starting crafting XP based on the Charms you've chosen.

(10d10)[6][3][10][3][6][10][5][5][8][1](57) Brass Scales Falling, 1 sp/success, limit of 2

(20d10)[8][1][4][3][7][9][8][5][9][8][8][5][2][3][1][3][1][3][1][9](98) Peerless Paragon of Craft, 1sp/success, 1 gp per 10

[Lentrax]

Petals of Blossoming Rain (very much in progress)

Concept: Ranger, but Exalted. Focus on Archery and Survival. Intend to have a familiar (basic idea: giant eagle) that grows with her, represented by increasing the dots in Familiar to represent it's growth.

Am going to try and make a custom weapon for her. a 3- or 4-dot short artifact powerbow to use from the back of an animal.

[SuperWave]

Liking what I am seeing so far. Going to put up the pitch tonight, though it's going to follow what I suggested eariler: game will start in Great Forks. You're being hired by Talespinner to find out who killed a notable God

[Benoojian]

You mentioned Kingdom Building, so will there be some downtime rather than constantly being on a timer?

Edit: Also 20 dice and not a single 10, that's cruel dicebot.

[SuperWave]

Yes! A lot of this game is going to be the IMPORTANT NPCs and states reacting to the Circle.

[DrakeRaids]

First run at Venwinter, added this to her fluff sheet as well

Did you click the box that says “Publicly Viewable”?

[DrakeRaids]

...did not, does it work now?

[Beans]

It's visible now, yep.

[Kell_tamer]

In progress.

https://www.lotcastingatemi.com/characters/27957 Debating on grabbing armor or not.. which yeah would lock me out of basically any SMA but sidereals lack the soak shenanigans lunars and solars have. they have their own brand of being an *******.

I'm grabbing both battles horoscopes in lieu of doing destinies since until she gets better at performance, she can't do much more than bless small groups without major help.

[Obscurejones]

Joji is recharmed with those shiny new Golden Calibration charms.

... It's probably fine that he's almost all Socialize. It's not like Exalted games are ever anything but polite salon discussions, right?

Joking aside, he should be done barring putting in Ties for anyone who wants to have a Sugar Daddy Uncle.

[DrakeRaids]

I wouldn't mind him (and others) having encountered Venwinter in some persona or another but I'll probably wait till we get more defined in our player list before I want to hash that out. It's easier to figure that all out over discord anyway once that manifests.

[Benoojian]

I did invest in Craft(Clothier). How would Joji like to be one of Fire Within’s best customers, buying nearly magical (and occasionally actually magical) outfits for each salon outing?

[Rokku]

Since they're allowed and nobody else has mentioned interest, I may go for an Abyssal. Just got my hands on the manuscript and I'm looking it over. Will the discord be ready soon? I find it much easier to talk over characters in more real time.

[Beans]

Tsaąrkoma's definitely going to be wary once she's aware an Abyssal's in her group, though at present she only has a Minor Tie of wariness to deathknights as a whole. If she learned they're opposed to the Walker, that'd definitely warm her up to them.

Blah, give me a little bit. Will link here Sunday afternoon.
