Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Well, I can't help but notice that there seems to be rather few ST's on this forum, and I'm thinking about remedying this by joining their ranks.
I'm not sure yet, but I'll toss a concept I've been thinking about for a while out there.
How about a sort of Harry Potter-esque sort of game, where the Players are all Terrestrials going through secondary school? It would most likely take place in either Cloister of Wisdom or House of Bells, not sure yet, although an exchange student from the Heptagram could certainly fit in. Anyone interested in this as an idea? If so, then I'll get a recruitment thread up.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Who, me? I'm Jokasti, not Jukashi. Unrelated. I had this handle before I came to GitP, which is where I found KoC.
A lot of people like Terrestrials, and that's one of the game styles in the Storytelling section, so it's pretty awesome straight up. But if it's HP-esque, why not all Heptagram?Last edited by Jokasti; 2011-02-09 at 01:11 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Harry Potter was an inspiration yes but, for one thing, I didn't want to shoehorn players into being a sorceror if they want to be something else, and I didn't want the game to feel like a rip off of Harry Potter. It's more inspired by Harry Potter as in, supernatural adolescents go to school and master their talents, rather than necessarily spells.
Plus, I'm not really all that fond of Harry Potter, it's just inspiring
If everyone else really wants the Heptagram then I'll change it.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I could be interested in that. That said, I really wanna make characters in general right now, so... xD

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Y'know, someone could make a thread like "Exalted Character Repository", for people to just make and post characters, and have them linked in the first post organized by type, caste, and experience points.
We could set some sort of guideline like:
CharGen
50xp
100xp
150xp
200xp
300xp
500xp
>500xp
Then, that could be a home for all the characters we'll never get a chance to personally play. And then, prospective Storytellers, either in meatspace, or in PbP games could pick them up as NPCs, or players who aren't feeling a lot of inspiration could peruse and either use one to inspire a new character for a game, or steal it wholesale.
There could even be...!
Wait. I think I'll just go make this thread.5e D&D Mythos Classes

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Makes sense, but I think most people like to play their own characters.
Also, as much as I like making them, I can't really summon the effort if they're not for a game.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'm avoiding PbP games for the time being (because my work load always jump-spasms or I lose Internet access for two weeks or some damn thing and I have to quit), so I have a fair number of characters I don't expect to play, so I'm very happy to see this idea. I'll go put a couple up on that thread now.
And also link it, for anyone who doesn't see it on the main page.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Okay, changes made. Didn't touch the last column though since I don't know what their preference is. So anyone who's posted a table, can you find your entry on the one below and let me know - either here or via PM - what to change that last column to. Like Jokashi said; it should be one of the types in the Storytelling chapter of the core book. I assume "Just about anything" and variants thereof are still a valid entries?
Some of the ST entries have been changed just to an asterisk, if you see that in your row, let me know what you want in there. It's a yes, no or maybe answer to "Are you willing to be a Storyteller?" If you've STed before but aren't willing to do it again, then your answer would be a No.
Weimann, I had to change your Player column to an asterisk as well because "In particular cases" isn't an answer to a yes or no question.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 I recently found out that dragon-Bloods were way weaker than I previously thought and that the teamwork thing wasn't optional and was actually needed for survival.
for most of my dragon-blood concepts this is ok, since they are smart enough to stay and work in the group or otherwise use their head.
except one. a Valor 5, Temperance 1 Air aspect who would stop at nothing to protect his sister see? problem is his sister became Solar, the guys older bro was an Earth Immaculate, the Air Aspect sort of took his sisters side despite all that "Anathema are possessed demons" propaganda cause he is rebellious and stubborn, duked it out and now he is this lone rebel guy trying to find his sister against all odds and everything standing in his way.
and basically from what I gathered, said Air Aspect would basically be committing suicide every time he charged into battle against Celestial Exalts where I thought previously he would only be slightly committing suicide by attacking celestial Exalts, not complete suicide as I was informed.
so my question is: should I change his Exalt type to something more fitting for his character? cause he isn't supposed to be a guy that relies on teamwork that is not the character concept, he is more supposed to a reckless martial artist who kills anyone who harms his sister type of deal.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Do you expect to fight Celestial Tier Exalted? There are only, what, a few hundred of them? If it's a Dragonblood focused game then I don't see the problem.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
I don't plan my characters for any specific game, I just make them. The point of his character is that he looks at all the super-powerful gods and demigods, including the Solars and tells them "Screw you." and he doesn't fit the Solar mold himself, cause he isn't supposed to be shiny and magnificent, he is supposed to recklessly charge into whatever danger he is facing, to make people go "dude are you crazy!? stop it your going to get yourself killed!" then somehow walk out of things alive that were supposed to have killed him,
Solars....its too expected of them to do that stuff he would only come off as jerk if he were a Solar- cause he'd keep telling the people who are inspired by him "shut up fanboy, go away."

But for real Paranoia combat you have 6 clones, so when your fellow players decided/discover you're a traitorous commie scum who wants to destroy the Computer, you only die once and you still have 5 more clones.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Sounds like a Solar to me. I actually played a reckless charachter for a while. It was fun just throwing caution to the wind and charging in. Luckily, he was a Solar and could back it up. Still, I think I caused the Sidereal in the party no end of trouble, as she had to plan around me always taking the "square peg round hole" aproach.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Right. Also, Exalts always use their ultimate cosmic power for Dodge charms or stabbing things. They never act like I would and develop stuff like:
Badonkadonk Slapping Maelstrom Protocol
Cost: 5m ; Mins: Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Blasphemy
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Mind-Hand Manipulation
There is nothing the Principle of Hierarchy loves more than perfection. Perfection, like a perfectly round, pert - oh god; and then she realized, with horror, the folly of opening her charm set to a horde of demonically tainted low-lives who are, on their best day, only deeply unsettling in their unbalanced mental state.
By first conjuring a font of pyrian essence via a little jig involving pelvic thrusts and faux-slaps aimed low into the air, the Infernal then releases the stored energy in a massive storm of power that covers a full mile radius around him, visibly distorting the air as it does so.
All throughout, localized fluctuations in the fabric of Creation manifest, slapping the asses of all women that are caught in the area of effect. Moments later, a rushing sound reminiscent of chiming crystal bells flows past, proclaiming "Dat Assssssss".Last edited by Xefas; 2011-02-09 at 07:27 PM.
