Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Okay, I'm going insane, and I have to ask.
Would anyone be willing to run a DB game? I've got a hankering to play an Immaculate martial artist and every game I'm in dies and leaves me sitting alone in an empty forum going "guys? Guys? I gave you a million chances beforehand to say you couldn't handle this, so I find the 17th iteration of 'midterms are harder than I thought' kind of unpalatable."Recent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I tried googling that a while ago (can't remember when) and I don't think I found anything. Might've been the extra search options (I assume that's what the inverted commas around Night Caste are for) I didn't use. Anyway, thanks for that link. If they didn't come up with a build I might try my hand at it. It'd give me an excuse to get some use out of Anathema (a character-builder) since it doesn't support 2e Lunars, Abyssals, Sidereals, Alchemicals or Infernals. Only Solars and Dragon-Blooded so far. I think it's got all of them covered for first edition, but not second.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Anathema hasn't been updated for the new char-gen rules, so it's even more worthless at the moment.
As for statting Ezio, I think I can do a good job. All you really need to do is find an artifact that replicates his hidden blades (There's one that fits perfectly in MoEP: Alchemicals), then go Night Caste and max Larceny, Awareness, and Athletics.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Actually; as of the 14th of November, everything that was in the Scroll of Errata (including all of the Dawn Solution stuff) was included. Says so right there in the news: http://anathema.sourceforge.net/ Solars and Dragon-Blooded have templates using the new character creation rules marked as Revised.
And the Alchemical artefact you're thinking of; is that the one where the picture shows the gauntlet and a knife in the user's hand? Because that's actually a throwing knife dispenser/sheath.Avatar of Gnar'tigor - former Star Player of the Hellborn Hooligans Blood Bowl team - by Savannah

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
True, but the knives from the bracer lack hilts and I imagine that a professional assassin - Exalt or no - would rather keep his fingers.
EDIT: I'd rather homebrew it or just use the stats for a switch-klaive and add an extra rule or two for concealment (unless the switch-klaive already has concealment rules, now to remember what book it was in).
EDIT2: Found the switchklave; Wonders of the Lost Age, page 76. Looks about right for a hidden blade basis, just need to tack on a few rules for extending and retracting it and it should look fine.
Shame I'm totally stumped on said rules.Last edited by ShadowFighter15; 2011-01-19 at 05:37 AM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
What the edit said, basically.
As for his skills? Thrown and Melee, I wouldn't go for more than that because that becomes a Dawn Caste with Night Caste abilities.
If we're talking Brotherhood Ezio, then he has to has Followers and Allies. But then again, Brotherhood Ezio would have a lot of exp points.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I'm thinking of using Ezio as he was when he killed Vieri De'Pazzi as the base.
He'd need a few dots in melee too, wouldn't he? He was still a skilled swordsman when it came right down to it. Plus he'd have to use that skill for any attacks with the hidden blades, even for a surprise assassination.
EDIT: Nevermind; I'm blind.Last edited by ShadowFighter15; 2011-01-19 at 05:41 AM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Keep in mind: I have never played Assassin's Creed, nor any game associated with it. I have never seen anyone play it, nor have I ever seen a trailer, cinematic, nor gameplay video of it. In fact, I didn't even know the name "Ezio" before you mentioned it (before then, I was firmly in the "I think Assassin's Creed is a pretty cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything" camp).
But, if this guy's main shtick is, for instance, Thrown, but you need the occasional Melee stab, or Martial Arts grapple, or War coordinated attack or what-have-you, then the charm Supreme Martial Instinct is right up your alley. It's a permanent War 4, Essence 3 charm that allows you to spend 1m, 1wp (this doesn't count as a charm activation) to count your highest of Melee/Archery/Thrown/Martial Arts/War as the stat for all of them, plus it allows you to use your Excellencies for that ability on the others as well, until your next turn.
(So, if "Ezio" has a Thrown of 5, he can use it to get Melee 5, Archery 5, Martial Arts 5, and War 5 until his next turn, plus use his Thrown Excellencies to augment his Melee, Archery, Martial Arts, and War actions.)5e D&D Mythos Classes

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Well thrown isn't that much of a thing with Ezio. Through the whole of Assassin's Creed 2, the only ranged weapons he gets are throwing knives and a concealable pistol (awfully advanced for the 1480s but where the design comes from makes perfect sense). In AC: Brotherhood (Ezio's other main game) he also got poison darts and a crossbow.
At the point in the game I mentioned; Ezio had a longsword, a short sword, the two hidden blades he's shown with in promotional artwork and some throwing knives. He's a skilled swordsman and a natural at moving undetected through crowds as well as a top-class free-runner.
So from that; all I've worked out for Abilities is decent Thrown, high Melee, high Stealth and high Athletics. Perception too because of Eagle Vision (and an assassin who doesn't notice much of what's going on around him doesn't last long).
EDIT: Not sure how often he'd use War and I'm not too familiar with War Charms beyond the one you mentioned and only because you told me about it.Last edited by ShadowFighter15; 2011-01-19 at 06:08 AM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Perception, yes.
Larceny too. Remember, he does pickpocket.
I think you're right otherwise, though.
I do NOT believe he would use War. Possibly the training Charms in that tree IF we're talking Brotherhood Ezio, but otherwise, not really.
EDIT: Oh, right, Ink Monkeys.
While that's more used for the Dawn Castes, on reflection I think you're right.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Gah; how could I forget Larceny? That was one of my main source of income before the execution. Mainly because you didn't get Notoriety for it and I could walk right through a crowd of people and come out with all of their money.
That'd take, what, four dots to pull off in Exalted?Avatar of Gnar'tigor - former Star Player of the Hellborn Hooligans Blood Bowl team - by Savannah

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
So, anyone know good alchemical charms for breaking clinches? My character (jade-caste brick) is plenty tough, but his low DVs mean that small children can clinch him into immobility with only a little effort.
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the one that links to Dex + MA and makes sure I always have maximum MA. That would help with DVs and clinch escapes both, and has the advantage of not having any prereqs (I think).
Anyone know any others?I write a gaming blog. It also hosts my gaming downloads:

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Huh. Just to let people know, Anathema does now work with the newest Exalted Character generation guidelines. At least, for solars. Just choose Solar Exalted(revised).

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
No. At the moment it only has Solars, Dragonblooded, and Mortals. I think on the website it lists Abyssals as the next projected add on.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Well, there are dramatic rules for using it to evaluate goods. So, I guess it might be good for an Exalt who is 1) worried about money 2) predisposed towards seeking it through mercantile channels instead of, say, adventuring and 3) doesn't have one of those easy ways to get infinite munnies.
It is implied to be used for anything involving bribery, business, money, or that sort of thing. I think it's fairly important for Sidereals not to go to Super Jail for using their charms, as well.
