Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
Golentan, what stops Deathlol from sending patsy to reply in it's name ? High ranking Elementals can do that. Or, worst comes to worst ... counterspell it ? They are all, after all, expert necromancers themselves.
The same with summoning Kukla, first You summon it's guardians. In Your example, Deathlord can kill itself since it's not forbidden ... or have handy necromancer puppets ready to summon him back. Since nothing forbids multiple summoning of someone.
And about summoning FaFL ... it's not the best idea, I kinda think he can break summoning circle with Magic-Shattering Strike or something like that. And You don't want to make him angry, don't You ?Youth and strenght alvays lose to age and treachery.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
Actually, you can't just summon the Kukla, he's got a bunch of delegates who take his place if you try. So you have to summon and defeat those first, giving Heaven ample time to prepare to stop you. Not saying it's impossible, of course, but it's not quite as easy as the current rules indicate summoning a Deathlord would be.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
One slight mistake you have made in the wording of his task, even if this works.
In order to bind him you must be a necromancer (to cast summon ghost) and have revealed yourself to him (by binding him), so you just ordered him to kill you instantly, also you ordered him to counter the very binding spell you put upon him
So at the very least this would take a different wording.
On a completely different note, do anyone here know what the abyssal charm Dream-Slaying Defense is supposed to do?Last edited by vegetalss4; 2012-04-21 at 04:34 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
Dream-Slaying Defense works almost like Solar charm Chaos-Repelling Pattern by creating a bubble of Underworld around the Deathknight. Handy when You fall into Wyld-Zone, and don't wish to be turned inside out because it's funny.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
As others have indicated, it's sort of a souped-up version of Chaos-Repelling Pattern: instead of just enforcing Creation's laws on the Wyld, it shuts down all Shaping effects near the Abyssal. The Wyld won't mutate you. Raksha can't use shaping attacks or Wyld stunts and a lot of other crazy tricks. Sidereal astrological tricks stop working. Spells that warp the body, like Blood of Boiling Oil and Wood Dragon's Claw, fail if they're brought too close to you. All those lovely Yozi Charms with the Shaping keyword, like Mind-Hand Manipulation and Loom-Snarling Deception and most Shintai Charms, are negated.
It's actually a pretty powerful Charm.Avatar by GryffonDurime. Thanks!

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
Well, unless specifically called out a spell can't be counterspelled after it's had its effect. Which summon ghost isn't, so he can't counterspell his own necromantic bindings. But as for the him-killing-you-part... yeah, I was kind of assuming that immediately upon completing the spell and setting the bindings you would have to run like hell.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
FTFY
I guess the discussion has kind of come to a consensus on actually needing to put a group together before advancing, so...
DO YOU LOVE EXALTED? WOULD YOU LIKE TO WRITE EXALTED FICTION?
EVER WANTED TO HAVE YOUR OWN WEBCOMIC BUT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME OR SUCKED AT ART?
WELL, NOW YOU CAN, IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE LUCKY WINNERS OF THE EXALTED WEBCOMIC THINK TANK CONTEST!
JUST SUBMIT YOUR IDEA FOR A SCRIPT AND YOU COULD BE ONE OF OUR LUCKY WINNERS TO BECOME CO-AUTHOR OF THE NEXT BIG EXALTED WEBCOMIC!
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR ILLUSTRATORS, PROBABLY

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
The allcaps just made me think of the POWERTHIRST: EXALTED EDITION copypastas.
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! )
Wanna see what all this Exalted stuff is about? Here's a primer!

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
I'm making a Lunar and have a question, if anyone can help:
The Armour-Forming Technique Charm (Lunars p.160) says it renders non-moonsilver/moon faced mail armour unwearable. If I have moonsilver armour, can I use this Charm as well, or will they not stack?
Thanks.Last edited by Kobold-Bard; 2012-04-24 at 04:49 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
I know I had the information somewhere, but there's a irc Exalted Chat somewhere. Anyone know what it's information is? And, if they do, would the OP put it in the first post? Seems like one of those useful things to have.
Anyways, is their a firm number on the Tepet legions that were destroyed by the Bull of the North?He fears his fate too much, and his reward is small, who will not put it to the touch, to win or lose it all.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
I have a Blast Group on AIM going for Exalted and general gaming.
Which is where this idea came from, random exalted character generatio.

Currently, only the fluff is up. Mechanics are still being worked out.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread X: Playground Cosmic Principle
So something occurs to me:
Solars, aside from Zeniths, start out with no idea what they are or where their powers come from. They may have heard some vague propaganda about Anathema and pacts with demons, but they won't know anything about the specific abilities they will gain in most cases.
Infernals, on the other hand, know what they are. Not merely do they gain a coadjutor to advise them, but soon after their Exaltation they travel to Malfeas and are told point-blank what they are and what they are for. Even ignoring the coadjutor everything is made abundantly clear (which may be part of why people like Infernals so much: they have much more leave to be genre-savvy).
So, what if the coadjutor was missing? What if all the green radiation powers were missing? What if, instead, they were shiny sun powers? In short:
What if a Solar was raised as an Infernal?
Suppose that a demon appears shortly after a Solar's Exaltation, and using their demonly charm they convince said Solar to travel to Hell with them. There they get the full Infernal treatment: meetings with Yozis, hanging out at the Thing, the works. Could you convince the Solar that they were an Infernal? How long could you keep the guy deceived? Indefinitely?
Keep in mind that this Solar would not be an Akuma or anything of that sort. Normal Solar, normal Solar powers, but told by everyone they meet that they are a GSP.Lord Raziere herd I like Blasphemy, so Urpriest Exalted as a Malefactor
