Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Basically, the Dragon-Born probably wouldn't take over because Autocthon would probably modify them in some way so they couldn't and because of cultural values.

But, there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is 01100100011100100110000101100111011011110110111001 100010011011110111001001101110.
...Dragonborn.
fus roh AS IN THE BEGINNING
This is the story of one Claslat nutrient factory manager with the tiniest Terrestrial heritage from the time before Autochthonia. When he leaps into the path of a rampaging productivity rat to save one of his foremen, that sacred blood ignites and he discovers that he can yell fire out of his own face.
Now he is alone. A glitch in the system. A being nearly unheard of in his world. What path shall he now take? Will he seek out tales of the Neckbeards, a lost circle of elder Terrestrials said to perch on the highest peak of the highest alternator in Autochthonia, accidentally taken when the Maker fled Creation, who legends tell are capable of yelling far more exotic things out of their face than fire, and can lead the Dragonborn to become the savior of his world? Or will he spend 200 hours screwing around and murdering random townsfolk before getting around to the first plot hook?
Given that he is one of Creation's Exalted, the latter is far more likely...Last edited by Xefas; 2012-03-01 at 05:15 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Autochthonia has six elements. This is all too unsymmetrical golly ;_;
...I cannot imagine the DBs doing so without them being excised utterly from the population.
I think Dragons of a Different Color use normal elements, but adopt some thematics of the underworld ones.
That said, when I finally get back to my DB Project, underworld and autochthonian dragonbloods will be entirely playable.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Putting 25 abilities across 6 elements is easy!
Just make Craft in-aspect for all of them!The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I have been assuming that we are talking about Dragon-Blooded present from the very begining of Autochthonia's inhabitation. Dragon-Blooded have never been subservient to mortals, Alchemicals have not ever been present before so they aren't used to servivng them, and mortals of the time has spent the whole Primordial War with Dragon-Blooded as their protectors and goveners. Just thinking that Dragon-Blooded belong on the bottom of society would be hard, let alone enforcing that opinion when your continued survival depends on the Essence-fueled powers of the Dragon-Blooded.
The idea that Alchemicals should not rule took how many centuries to become codified in Autochthonian law?

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
I think she's referring to Autocthon's white blood cells purging the Dragon-blooded like they were a bad case of the flu.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Autochthon's autonomous defenses couldn't kill the Dragon-Blooded population without killing the mortal population.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Autochthon has three classes of entity on hand that he could use to go kill something inside himself: Exmachina, Elementals, and Biomechanoids. A Dragon-Blooded alone can stand up to any single low-Essence Elemental or Spirit himself, if not be able to kill it, and a circle of them are much more dangerous, so any attempt to kill ALL of the Dragon-Blooded would necessarily require a swarming mass of spirits. If the Dragon-Blooded have even a century before this starts, the number of spirits required to put down the Dragon-Blooded gets even bigger.
Now, we are assuming that Dragon-Blooded are at the top of the power chart, here in our early Autochthonian model. Guess who gets to serve as soldiers beside the Dragon-Blooded? Guess who is going to fight to defend their homes against an army of death? The mortal population is going to sustain huge losses just to root out those Dragon-Blooded, possibly to the point of non-sustainability.
Then there are the psychological ramifications of such an attack, even if the mortals were spared. Who is going to trust in the Great Maker anymore when he casually commits genocide upon his inhabitants?Last edited by Kyeudo; 2012-03-01 at 06:48 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Not to mention the fact that the stealing of Dragon-Blooded would likely have provoked the Deliberative to be a bit more... aggressive... in attempts to breach the Seal.
Not as much as if a Solar had been taken, but still.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
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 Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Estasia was a Tiger-Warrior-turned-Solar-Queen, who became Luminous Exarch the Twice-Exalted, who became Lux the capital of Estasia.
This may or may not have something to do with why he's a jerk.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Well, going by Voice of the Magnus there's a strong implication that fairly early in the first age Brigid was recreated as a deathlord. So Void Circle would be on the table by someone who USED to be a solar. And I can totally see a deathlord getting sic'd on autobot. The revenge potential would appeal, and a deathlord in Autochthonia might explain some of his problems...

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
None on the record. Still doable.
1) Initiate into Iron Circle Necromancy.
2) Initiate into Onyx Circle Necromancy.
3) Find the Cenotaph of Urosh-Kar, and meditate upon it.
4) Black Faith.
Alternatively...
1) Get meschlum to make a Style 5, Essence 10 Fair Folk.
2) Have the Fair Folk do a Wyld Stunt that equates to Black Faith.
Either way, whoever's inside then proceeds to do his damnedest to open the seal.Last edited by TheCountAlucard; 2012-03-01 at 10:47 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Completely doable. By ST fiat.
Not that it wouldn't make a good plot hook for an Autochtonian game, but there's not really any way you could possibly do it without it coming down to PLOT.
And this is all besides the point (note: point may have just been arbitrarily decided on by me). Black Faith is up there with BoSS for "bull**** broken Necromancy".

Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread IX: Errata is Combo-Ok!
Yes, Wyld Stunts can emulate sorcery, but that's not how Wyld Stunting works in the first place. It's exactly like a regular stunt, only you can enhance it to make magic happen (this is, obviously, way easier in the Wyld, where all sorts of improbable locales abound). In Creation, you could burst through a window, sending a cloud of glass through the room, emulating Death of Obsidian Butterflies. You could kick open a door so hard it bursts open every other door of a building, emulating Violent Opening of Closed Portals. You could form a human pyramid and go into battle, emulating Unity of the Closed Fist.
You can't, however, just magic up whatever you want using them. There needs to be some sort of rational.Awesome Cyborg Doom Monkey avatar by Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins. Offer up your robo-bananas to him.
