Older D&D/AD&D and Other SystemsThe forum for discussions specifically related to the rules and procedures of either any of the older editions of Dungeons & Dragons (1e, 2e, BECMI, OD&D) or any other non-D&D roleplaying rules (Vampire: The Requiem, Dread), including non-fantasy d20 systems (such as Mutants & Masterminds).
General Exalted Discussion Thread VII: Playground Eternal Essence
Have a question about how to become one with our glorious Yozi overlords? Want to discuss the Balorian Crusade? Infernals or Abyssals? What sort of build can throw Creation at some Shinma? Just how high can we get that Serenity's Appearence? This is your thread. Discuss with fervor.
Extra Excellencies. Generally, Solars/Abyssals get 5, Lunars get two, Sidereals 4, and Dragonblooded are 3, spread amoung caste and favored. Infernals get their caste Yozi's first Excellency free, including all future purchases of it.

My Little Exalted
I used to wonder what Exalted could be (My Little Exalted)
Until you shared its Essence with me
Mighty Solars
Tons of Dragonblooded
Beautiful Sidereals
Faithful Stewards
Saving Creation
It's no easy feat
And animas make it all complete
You have My Little Exalted
Do you know you are our very last hope?
This post serves no purpose besides marking it for easy finding. Also, ponies.

Give us some themes to work from. Try to write up a good excellency principle and we'll go from there. Also watch out that we don't feed you to the Engine when you ascend.

May I ask what the Eternal Essence refers to? Sound like Heresy, but I can't be sure.
[Yozi] Eternal Essence is an essence 7 charm that renders the being that knows it immortal and immune to any effects that would kill them which would not result in a neverborn.

Andromalius, the Unyielding Flames Tempered Black, First excellency
The Unyielding Flames burns away lies that the weak tell themselves, lighting the dark truths buried within their hearts. The deceptions others tell themselves are as natural to him as the black fire within his own heart.
The black fires of Andromalius clean away corruption with a cold efficiency. Drawing warmth from his flames is a futility, as the embers drain away hope and life. The illusion of existing shatters as waves upon rocks by the light cast by his flame, bringing those who see it close to the truth of nothingness.
This excellency can be used to enhance actions that are unseen by others or are executed in a cold but brutal efficiency. The black fire leaves little to waste.
------
So, overall themes are Illusions (in all it's forms) and draining life.

Rest seems fairly solid, but this needs to go or be reworded. A line I've seen in several Devil-Tiger threads on the WW forums is that a Devil-Tiger or Yozi's Excellency needs to talk about themselves, not others. The "deceptions others tell themselves" is something inherently external to him, and thus probably has no place in his Excellency.
Perhaps Innocence, Improvement, Knowledge, Darkness, more on the Consumption, Logic, Learning, etc. would go well with Andros. A Primordial thematic excellency should be rather broad.
Further, I would suggest a name more suggestive of a place or a type of weather. ShWLIHN has the 'flame' angle pretty locked up. Actually, it seems like a plain cross of ED and ShWLIHN. Don't just synthesize existing Yozi. Declare a truly new legend. Think outside the box of 'lunatics in hell'. Innovate! Admittedly, there is overlap. ShWLIHN and Cecylene both deal with order, ED and Adorjan both deal with freedom.
Re: General Exalted Discussion Thread VII: Playground Eternal Essence
As for the My Little Exalted:
Because I love Infernals (as the joke pounded into the ground says, they're 20% more awesome), I always like to think Pinkie is the Zenith of the Mane Six (Partying is a vital form of boosting morale)...and that Fluttershy, after failing to find her self-confidence for two seconds too late (and a dead Angel Bunny later), is approached by an anglyka, offering the chance to never be scared again...
The deceptively beautiful Scourge that emerges from the Chrysalis has Kimbery Charms up the wazoo, although her doggedly innocent heart contains no jealousy, only pity for those bound by things such as "fear", or "wealth", or "friends"...and a creeping sense of self-loathing.
What? If you want a Woobie, you must feel sorry for them. That Flutter of Death's Demure Wings is a Woobie Destroyer of Worlds until her friends break through the Yozi cult tactics and force her to realize a loyalist's life is suffering is irrelevant at worst, much Meaningful Angst Fodder at best.
Plus, that makes her a candidate for training by Sutrankal. Admit it, you want to see Flutterninja.

Mainly this is because Zenith and Serenity are already pretty similar, just switch "faith" for "happiness"-assuming this isn't in the case they're synonymous.
