What's happening with that anon coding a 3e version of the playable 2e tutorial?
>>47597598
Miracle Solar is cute. CUTE!
Will say, despite my pessimism about pretty much everything related to this booklet, that I really like this charm.
Armed and Ready Discipline
Cost: 3m
Mins: Resistance 2, Essence 1
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: None
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Whirlwind Armor-Donning Prana
On each round of donning armor with the prerequisite, the Lawgiver can attack without a flurry by doing a stunt in which she attacks while putting on a piece of armor. If she knows Call the Blade or Summoning the Loyal Steel, she may use either Charm reflexively for free while Armed and Ready Discipline is active.
On Armed and Ready Discipline
The backer wanted a Charm that would let him use Whirlwind Armor-Donning Prana and Summoning the Loyal Steel at the same time, and I thought “why stop there?” It was actually a tricky Charm to work out, since those other Charms are about as efficient as you can possibly get. In the end I decided to value-add this Charm by allowing you to arm yourself while attacking, punching through vambraces to snap them on, clapping on a breastplate while delivering a spinning slash, drop-kicking into your greaves, and so on.

>>47597598
That's some great cover art. Certainly better than the Core.
Charmlist anon here, I'm almost done adding these, I just need to figure out what to do with the developer commentary. Do I add it in at the end of the charm description, or as hover notes on the charm like I've done for all the sidebars in the core?
Also does anyone feel like writing brief 1 line summaries for each charm?
>>47597747
Definitely hovertext, but I'd also suggest marking them as apart from the core charms in some way? Different text color, perhaps?
>>47597788
Their page numbers will say MotSE32 and it'll be coloured differently, yeah.
Should I add every developer commentary, or just the ones that actually give more info on how the charm works?
Typing up notes is a pain in the ass.
>>47597823
I think each of them says something valuable about the charms, but if you wanna go skinny you do you.
>>47597696
now I wish it was explicitly flurried with a steal anything charm instead of attacks
>>47597848
A'ight, I'll do them all. As long as someone else writes up the summaries.
>>47597861
Alright, I'll take a crack at it. No guarantees on quality, though.

>>47597893
And here's the first sum of my efforts.

Solar Judgement Flare:

does a yozi's first excellency change how your infernal thinks all the time(mess with their personality directly)? or just provides a bonus to ways you *can* think to encourage doing so?
>>47598433
The latter.
Eventually it will shape your behavior, in the same way all a person's talents will lead them to seeking out (or making themselves see) nails, but it's not a direct cognitive effect on par with e.g. Kimbery's Burning Truths or Malfeas' Impervious Primacy Mantle.
Very first Charm, Hanging Judgment Arc
>If the Lawgiver threatens a specific character with this attack, (ie “Winglord Kvetu may not retreat across that bridge”) the attack gains (Essence) automatic successes, (Essence) bonus dice, and (Essence) automatic damage successes.
If (Essnece) automatic successes and (Essence) bonus dice is enough to take you over your dice-added-by-Charm limit, what do you do? Ignore the excess bonus dice?
>>47598493
yep
It wouldn't take you over the limit until essence 4 anyway, and its a neat way to get more passive power at lower essence levels
>When the Exalt’s Initiative is higher than the enemy general’s, her order actions gain a dice bonus equal to the Size difference between her battle group and the enemy forces. If the enemy general is not rolled into battle, this Charm doesn’t work, nor does it work if there is no opposed battle group.
What's that Skippy? You want me to stop raping you?
Oh gee, I wish I could....
>>47598547
It could take you over the limit at Essence 2 if you have Archery 4 Dex 1, the minimum allowed.
>On Solar Judgment Flare
>The backer is brand new to Exalted, so I had to help him find the exact right Charm. The first couple of Resistance Charms we worked on didn’t feel right to his personality, so we scrapped them. Finally I asked him what characters he likes most, and he started to talk about an overpowered archer from Fate Stay/Night. I had known since the beginning that Archery yet needed an overpowered Charm, so I worked out this incredibly powerful mechanic. There may be yet be another upgrade to this Charm, one of unfathomable power.

>Sensing an opening, the Solar launches a vicious blow with any part of her body. When the Exalt successfully disarms a close range opponent by any means, then she may use this Charm to launch an immediate decisive attack against them. If the opponent is trivial, ignore the Willpower cost.
Okay, this brings up that question from a few threads ago. When you are given a decisive attack by a Charm such as this (or Solar Counterattack), can you do a gambit instead of a normal decisive attack? If so, then this lets you disarm an enemy multiple times if you're willing to pay the cost. You could disarm a guy of his dual-wielded weapons, or theoretically disarm a multi-armed Wyld being of whatever's in all of its arms.
And if you can't do gambits instead of normal decisive attacks, then that sucks. But the book doesn't say.
>>47598771
>Believing the Fate/crowd, as bad as they can be, are anywhere near as awful as ES and the entirety of SV.
>those mentions of other exalt types in the backer charms
im feeling the hype again
>>47598851
Were I the ST, I'd generally assume that Charms which generate Decisive attacks do the attack bits only. Gambits might make use many of the same things as Decisives, but they're not supposed to be the same thing.
>>47598851
There was actually a thread on the official forums where the writers commented lemme find it.

>On Creation of Adamant Specie
>The reason ghosts are an applicable target for this Charm is because ghosts are often fettered to the living world, and concerned with trade and transaction. Gods, as natural bureaucrats, also quite often find it very natural to wheel and deal. Both types of spirits adore worship, and so the loftier ideal of “credit” is something they can easily and very naturally grasp and work with. Demons are excluded from this triad for a number of reasons, from insurgent economy to slave caveat. What it boils down to is that a Yozi wants a Solar to conduct her business in person. The Lords of Chaos are however included because their existence is so often defined by relational trade with Creation. Raksha are simply “in the know” when it comes to doing business with their Solar enemies, and Solar magic accounts for them. And for those who are wondering, magical materials do not count as natural metals.
Ghosts, Spirits, and Fae understand credit cards, but evil demon dudes would rather not deal with that.
>>47598893
Sweet, we have an answer. So we can do a Disarm or Unhorse with a Solar Counterattack or mix up Disarms and attacks in Iron Whirlwind.
>>47599015
What a long Charm to say you can make up coins that almost everyone will accept as valid currency.

>>47599073
How come none of their one sentence answers ever actually answers the question? I don't see why they don't take the time to write two, or even three sentences explaining things. Even a paragraph would be pretty nice.
>>47599093
They're not actually disagreeing.
It's just their stupid natural language thing showing up when Holden talks about the definition of a Gambit.
>>47598862
Look, I realize that ES destroyed some argument of yours in the past, but please take your hand off your hateboner and stop rubbing it on the thread.
>>47599121
God damn it, what's the matter with having them count as decisives, especially when they fucking say in the book that they are decisives? I don't see it breaking anything, just allowing for certain gambits to actually be viable(Like the multi-disarm mentioned earlier), rather than a fucking waste of time and initiative.
>>47599126
Oh, please. Earthscorpion couldn't destroy an argument if it came from a five year old with brain damage.

You know, same reason I don't like the Devs.
>>47599148
I'm with you. But the rules are very unclear on this. We know Gambits are decisive attacks, but then a dev says that a Charm only makes or aids a Gambit if it specifically says it is doing that with a Gambit. That means Solar Counterattack has to create an attack and not a Gambit - even though by the rules and by the other dev, since Gambits are decisive attacks, you should be able to interchange them.
If you could interchange them, then you become able to do things like Disarm people with Solar Counterattack, which leads to weird situations where you disarm a guy who just hit you with his sword, before he rolls damage. But if you can't interchange them, then you can't whip out Gambits at strange times with most of your charmset.
>>47599148
As far as I'm concerned, they do. That's what the book says. If they wanted it to be different, they should have written that in the rules. If they want to change their rules, they need to write some errata.
The devs have some cool ideas, but they have no fucking idea how to write rules that clearly and unambiguously convey their intended meaning.
>>47599309
Especially given that those rules have been leaked and virtually unchanged for over a year.
>>47599294
>which leads to weird situations where you disarm a guy who just hit you with his sword, before he rolls damage.
This situation already exists if you kill him with Solar Counterattack. I'm totally fine with charms like that being able to perform gambits, its just that some charms that generate Decisive attacks specify they do a gambit only, and multi-attacks do not create multiple gambits.

What, like some kind of...Storyteller chapter? What pure madness!
Gleaming Sever is like a second Excellent Strike, with one extremely niche bonus. I don't get why it uses such different language than Charms in the book to say you get 1 automatic success on the attack and 1 post-soak damage die that ignores hardness
>>47600060
Off the top of my head, Gleaming Sever would also bypass non-soak/hardness effects that simply negate damage dice.

Being able to summon and dismiss instruments to Elsewhere like we can with weapons and armor is something I never considered but which makes perfect sense to have as a Charm. However, why do the Charm have built-in stunts like this? Players are the ones who ought to be doing the stunts.

>>47601001
I wish there were a few charms to pull off friendship through superior firepower. Pic Related.
There was one charm I adapted for use in a 2.5 game I was in, but never got far enough in to use it:
- - - - - - - -
Life-Altering Blow
Cost: 3m; Mins: Presence 5, Essence 3;
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Compulsion
Duration: Scene
Prerequisites: Majestic Radiant Presence, You Can Be More
Not all Solars prefer to slay their enemies. Rather, some prefer to gather friends and allies to their cause. Solar Exalts are great leaders as well as incredible warriors. This Charm is favored by those Exalts who are both skilled and merciful duelists.
When this Charm is invoked, its power lies dormant until the Solar strikes a deathblow to a target, and reflexively spends 1 mote per permanent essence of that target. When this occurs, the target has a simple choice: live, or die. The Solar may force a choice of life by succeeding on a (Charisma + Presence) roll, subtracting the target's Dodge MDV from the successes as an external penalty. If the target successfully chooses death, he dies. A choice of life, however, can be an event that forever alters the target's destiny. All damage inflicted by the Solar on the target since the invocation of Life-Altering Blow is removed. The target awakes with the knowledge that he was utterly defeated at the Solar's hands, and only by the Lawgiver's mercy was his life spared. The target will be greatly disinclined to further combat, being chastened by his defeat and subsequent deliverance from death. His recognition of the Solar's might and mercy will give him an Intimacy towards the Lawgiver, and he will likely be much more inclined to listen should the Solar wish to engage in social combat.
The use of this Charm on a target, and the social combat that usually follows may justify a change of Motivation in the target, If so, the usual experience point cost for changing Motivation is waived.
>>47601683
It probably wouldn't be too hard to port over in most respects, but the motivation thing doesn't really have an equivalent in Ex3. The closest to the old functionality is a phantom major intimacy that either fades to minor and strengthens to defining depending on how the preceding social influence pans out.

They're balanced around you having a much more limited pool to work with. Stealth becomes hilariously too-easy if everyone can just pump their whole mote pool into it, without even having to jump through the hoop of having to spend 2m on the Night's anima ability.
>Seventeen Cycles Symphony
TFW Performance has better Survival charms than Survival
>>47603001
Survival's non-familiar-related Survival charms fall into two camps. 'Element-Resisting Prana' and 'I could have just done this shit with a Survival roll already. What the actual fuck?'
Oh, and now pretty pretty nature princess: Appearance Booster #3, this time it's personal edition.
>>47603001
Apparently Performance gets to do something literally nothing else can, since it can destroy minor sorcerous workings.
The author of all these charms (I assume it's Morke) sure does like to say how balanced they made all of them. "Don't worry guys it's balanced, I balanced it, I made it balanced"
>>47600521
You can undo them with another working. That charm just skips all that effort for weak ones.
>After a repurchase, at Essence 4+, the Solar can use this Charm to destroy a sorcerous working that is barring her in the pursuit of a Defining Intimacy, rolling Charisma or Manipulation + Performance against the Resolve of the sorcerer who placed it, even if they are dead. A success allows her to shatter a minor working, or undo a major working until she has safely passed through it.
Corebook sez:
>Sorcerous workings are permanent marvels of magic. Once created, they cannot be countered or distorted. The closest thing to dispelling a working that a rival sorcerer can do is performing a working of her own intended to achieve the opposite effect.
Couldn't wait to directly contradict themselves, huh? Also, the fuck's a minor or major working?
>>47603471
Friend, Exalted has always been an exception based game, they lay down the general rules and then you get powers to completely ignore them.
Plus, Beloved Adorei could break sorcerous workings from the core book. They didn't just come up with it man.
>>47603498
This. Specific trumps general.
HOWEVER, the complaint about "minor or major working" being undefined is still valid.
>>47603471
>Couldn't wait to directly contradict themselves, huh? Also, the fuck's a minor or major working?
Charm text always overrides other text. That's basically what it's there for.
Anyways, I'd rule that the whole minor/major thing works off of the Circle of the working. i.e. Minor is Emerald, Major is Sapphire.
>>47603414
No you cannot. You can cancel out their mechanics but you can never remove the working. The book is very clear on this.
>The closest thing to dispelling a working that a rival sorcerer can do is performing a working of her own intended to achieve the opposite effect. For example, if a Dragon-Blooded sorcerer of the Heptagram has blessed a trade route to speed travel along it, a Solar sorcerer might contest this working with one of her own to slow travel along that route to oppose the Dynast’s working. However, while the mechanics of this might equate to the two workings canceling each other out, the Storyteller should keep in mind that both workings are still in place within the world.
This new Performance Charm, however, lets you "shatter" a minor one, doing something previously stated to be impossible.
>>47603498
>Plus, Beloved Adorei could break sorcerous workings from the core book. They didn't just come up with it man.
Where? All I see in Adorei is "destroy an ongoing spell effect without a sorcerous working". That removes spells, not workings.
Can someone help me understand Exalted movement?
If someone scores five successes and wants to cross long distance with extreme speed. What does five success mean in that example? Does a sprinter is able to maintain top speed while moving across a long distance like five kilometers? Is a difficulty of 5 faster than the world's fastest sprinter?
Finally on the topic of combat movement, how does someone prevent kilting from a foe who is able to maintain a distance of long to extreme from a melee fighter?
>>47603553
>how does someone prevent kilting from a foe who is able to maintain a distance of long to extreme from a melee fighter?
You have to use Charms to help you close the distance. If you can't then you're out of luck.

Tests of speed are generally extended rolls against either flat difficulties (terrain, weather, exhaustion) or opposed rolls against other characters (as in a race). Everything depends upon the difficulties and penalties in play.
For in combat movement, IIRC the biggest things that prevent kiting are the fact that firing from long range requires aim (which cannot normally be flurried with attacks) actions first, and the existence of the Rush action.
>>47603633
Whoops, almost forgot.
Not only can a character not flurry an aim action, they can't move in the same turn as an aim action either.
So yes, kiting is basically impossible without magic, and there's always countermagic.
>>47603574
>>47603607
>>47603633
>>47603739
So you can't really kite a melee fighter so long as they have good athletics and are able to use the rush action. As for tests of speed use extended rolls instead of flat difficulties? So someone running across an open plain is like a difficult 2 with a goal success from anywhere from 1 to 5?
>>47603815
It's more that extended rolls use flat difficulties for inanimate things and opposed rolls for things with opponents.
>>47603739
On one hand: I do kinda get why they wanted kiting to not be a thing but I DO think they went a bit too far the other way, with it being too hard to actually keep someone away as an archer.
>>47603528
>You can cancel out their mechanics but you can never remove the working.
The difference is cosmetic
>>47603854
What's the distinction between "kiting" and "keep[ing] someone away as an archer"?
>>47603854
Ride is acutally extremely strong at kiting. Maybe too strong.
>>47603903
Kiting is hit and run. Keeping someone away is both that AND keeping them from advancing in the first place.
Right now it's really easy to get up in the face of an archer and them to have no way to deal with it.
>>47603528
That idea has always been weird though. Like it makes sense for their example but not for others. Let's say someone does a working to turn a dessert into a forest, what possible form could a counter working take except turning that forest back into a dessert
>>47603969
> turning that forest back into a dessert.
Heh, that's an idea. Turn the forest into pies and just let a bunch of hungry orphans run loose.
>Kiting is hit and run. Keeping someone away is both that AND keeping them from advancing in the first place.
So if the devs don't like kiting because it's boring, why would you expect them to support kiting+?
>Right now it's really easy to get up in the face of an archer and them to have no way to deal with it.
Which I'm pretty happy with, really. It's not hard, but it takes time, if you start from far enough away. Long enough for you to get a couple of shots off, before you need to contend with melee. That's as it should be - if you could just play keepaway forever, without melee combatants getting close, archery would be god-mode.
>>47604070
>That's as it should be - if you could just play keepaway forever, without melee combatants getting close, archery would be god-mode.
Yeah, the issue right now that archery can put in a couple of hits but it's almost never going to win the fight as once engaged in melee, you can't really escape it as they can move + attack, you can't.
>>47603854
Dodge let's you have super withdraw powers. Just sort of weird that there are so few athletics charms for the defending part of a rush
>>47604105
Would be cool to see an Athletics charm that lets you swap positions with a guy doing a Rush at you if you win.
He charges, you flip over his head.
>>47604103
What, you can't win a fight if someone else has the opportunity to swing a weapon at you? Sounds like you need to invest in Dodge.
>>47604103
That's only in the case of 1v1 duels which are fairly rare in exalted as far as I'm aware

>>47604223
>What, you can't win a fight if someone else has the opportunity to swing a weapon at you?
Not so much that as 'Archery gets utterly crippled at close range due to the range penalties'
>>47604334
Sort of like how melee gets utterly crippled at any range other than close by not being able to make attacks at all?
Archers get a couple of rounds where their opponents can't attack them at all; in exchange, after those rounds, they get penalties for the subsequent rounds. If you haven't managed to parlay your temporary advantage into a permanent one, then yeah, you're going to get stomped, because you were bad. You just need to make those first shots count. And with a Join Battle's worth of intitiative, and an aim action's worth of successes, you really should be able to at least wing them before they get in close.
That's all before charms, of course, but charms work for both sides.

A credit card made out of one of the Magical Materials, with no size constraint on the size of the coin so transformed.
So, you could get your Twilight friend to forge a giant iron coin the size of a talent of silver, then transform it into an Adamant coin that that Twilight could then use to craft Artifacts with.
>>47605074
For reloading, I'd say that the crashing requirement is excessive. Cloud of Ebon Devil just lets you do it whenever.
The aiming thing requiring a crash is probably about right. Don't forget, that because flame pieces can't shoot from medium range, for them, all aim actions give +3 non-charm dice, so that's what the reflexive aim should be balanced around.

>>47604245
And moreover, it's only the case in 1v1 duels where there's no way for the Archer to stand out of reach of the Melee fighter, like on top of a building.
>>47606168
Even if the Melee fighter can close the distance, getting a couple of WIthering attacks in while he does so and then going for Decisive once he's managed to get to close distance seems like a pretty good tactic. Decisive attacks aren't affected by the weapon's Accuracy modifier, and by my reading this applies to the penalty for using an Archery weapon at close range just as it does to the usual Accuracy bonuses.

>>47607225
>Soul-Void Kata
Is dumb and worthless. Why the fuck would you ever want someone to turn into a drooling moron after trying to talk to you? Zero fucking utility.
>Knowing the Soul's Price
Is an entirely worse version of simply using Presence to convince someone of something. It's basically a charm for social characters who for some reason don't want to actually interface with the Social Influence system. That's like a Melee charm which gives your character an insight to jump through a dozen hoops in order to skip a combat encounter instead of just actually playing it.
>Asp Bites Its Tail
Requires a roll, and is therefore a charm that requires XP and motes for the privilege of doing something you could have already just done with rolling. Turn shit back on your accuser? Just make your own goddamn Instill rolls. Then you don't have to spend 8 xp to purchase and 4m to activate an unnecessary charm. This falls into the huge 3e category of 'I could have just done that with a normal roll.'
>shuffle a bunch of half-assed character sheets
They're only half-assed right at the beginning. It doesn't take long at all for your personas to have earned enough XP, at their 2/3 rate, to be significantly ahead of the curve set by the rest of the table.
Once you mix in At Your Service, you're able to pick up roles as needed too. Your circle needs a doctor to patch them up? You're suddenly a doctor, with as many Medicine charms as the total number of charms your best Persona possesses. Your circle needs a sea captain? You've got Sail out the ass and some Larceny for good measure.
Personas are a fantastic and powerful utility, whereas the overwhelming majority of other Socialize effects are things you could already do with an excellency-enhanced Socialize/Presence roll. The only non-persona charms that are actually useful - the ones that do things like add +2 or +3 to your Guile for cheap - are coincidentally persona prereqs.

>>47607420
>You're one of those "nothing but the numbers" spergs.
I'm absolutely not. There are tons of non-numerical charms with great, flavorful, interesting effects. Charms which grant new options that the characters didn't already have, and do so in interesting ways.
Most Socialize charms are not those charms.
Most Socialize charms grant you the ability to do something you were already able to do, but now with a mote surcharge. I would love if Socialize actually did have flavorful charms with unique effects that granted you interesting abilities. But instead, they have shit like 'read intentions' and 'instill' but for an extra 3m-4m when you could have just rolled in the first place.
This is a problem 3e has in several of its Abilities. Charms which are things you could have already done. Charms which are just a stunt and a mundane roll of the dice. Charms which, instead of granting the ability to do something new, are something you could just already do with successes on a normal role.
Charms like that are bad. They're a waste of time, a waste of resources, and they waste creativity, with people just activating those charms instead of using any kind of creative or critical thinking and realizing they could just already do that anyway.
But I see you're one of those "nothing but charms" spergs. No wonder you like charms that you can play like Magic the Gathering cards instead of using a stunt and a skill roll to more interestingly do the same thing.
Me, I'm going to enjoy the charms that let you switch between intimacies and skill sets on a whim, because that's an actual new power that Socialize offers not replicated by just getting a few successes on a Socialize or Presence roll.
>>47607532
>I'd thought there would be more than solars in a final core
That has never been the case in any edition of Exalted. Solars are always the core exalt, with other splats getting released as supplements.

>This is a problem 3e has in several of its Abilities. Charms which are things you could have already done. Charms which are just a stunt and a mundane roll of the dice.
3e has lots of charms with that problem. There's even several in Socialize. But if you consider those three to be among them, then your threshold for original effects is so high to be nonsensical. On the order of "none of the melee charms are useful, because if you just sword them enough, they'll die anyway".
Soul Void Kata (along with it's pre-req that lets you compel a read intentions action) gives you the ability to drop anyone into a coma at any time. If you can't think of any potential uses for that, you must've had a lobotomy.
Knowing the Soul's Price lets you know the levers that move a person's soul. What would it take for a loving mother to kill her son? A loyal bodyguard to kill his king? A passionate rebel to betray the cause? Sure, you could probably replicate that effect by grinding down their defining intimacies, and building up new ones, but that's a slow, difficult process, and being able to circumvent that in an instant is a pretty potent effect.
I don't even know if you've read Asp Bites Its Tail, because you missed half the charm's effect. The main point is that you just nullified someone else's social influence. Again, you could later go and break down the influence, but it'll harder now the target's predisposed against you, perhaps you don't want the intimacy to hang around even that long. Plus, it just has style.
>Me, I'm going to enjoy the charms that let you switch between intimacies and skill sets on a whim.
Enjoy playing by yourself. The first time you activate "At Your Service", and excuse yourself from the table to go create a new character from scratch will probably be enough to do it. On the other hand, you'll probably have enough personalities to form your own circle, so eh, maybe that's win-win.

>Rule Three: Avoid boring.
Artifacts are not +1 swords. Give a name and a short history and description to each one of them. Force your players to do likewise.
"Shattered Bond of Fate is a jagged, single-edged soulsteel grand daiklave with five chains hanging from the dull edge that make a terrifying noise when swinging it. It was carved from the souls of ninety-nine betrayed heroes" is way cooler than "I have a soulsteel grand daiklave".
I find this easier when swords now actually feel different, vs the past when they were +1 swords

The first bit still applies, with some tweaks (Motivations aren't a mechanical thing anymore). The houserules bit is entirely irrelevant to the new system.

A little bit from collumn A, a little bit from collumn B. Sometimes, you want the Solars to just kick down the door and own everyone. Sometimes, you want them to be scared of the coming Wyld Hunt. Sometimes, you want everything to break down, sometimes you want beach episodes. I do tend to to the super serious and important, but without a bit of power trip spice, it wouldn't work.

Not the guy you're talking to, but not by default. Not unless you invested extra artifact dots in them. In 3e, on the other hand, EVERY artifact weapon gives you a unique power, and not just a bonus to your weapon's stats.
>While a ronin, Ryōma decided to assassinate Katsu Kaishū, a high-ranking official in the Tokugawa shogunate and a supporter of both modernization and westernization. However, Katsu Kaishū persuaded Ryōma of the necessity of a long-term plan to increase Japan's military strength. Instead of killing Katsu Kaishū, Ryōma started working as his assistant and protégé.
What Charms do I need to pull off Katsu Kaishū's bullshit here?
>>47608870
Literally none; that's something the default social system allows (alter someone's intimacies, then persuade them along those lines). You could make the attempt even while he's trying to stab you.
>>47608870
>What Charms do I need to pull off Katsu Kaishū's bullshit here?
Maybe some Presence charms, but mostly just a good roll. The lack of needing pointless charms for things that people can already do with mundane rolls is covered earlier in the thread.
>>47608884
>>47608895
No it doesn't. There's limiting factors that keep you from raising and lowering intimacies repeatedly, and this is like, reducing an intimacy from Defining (willing to die to undermine westernization) and also raising an intimacy.

>>47608967
Not necessarily. He may have had a defining intimacy against westernisation AND a defining intimacy for Japan, and was convinced that the military strength, and thus Japan, was more important than resisting westernisation.

So in the corebook, it says a bunch of stuff about how Solar thematics are excellence at human pursuits, rather than being furries or edgelords or space whale bullshitters or Sidereals who take Abilities as loose guidelines. Like this:
>No matter how they work at it, Solars can’t use their Charms to grow fanged mouths on their palms with which to drink the life-force of their enemies. A Solar may not permanently raise her strength such that she can effortlessly snap the mightiest oak, for her power is derived from effort. A Solar might shout loudly enough to shatter bones or wreath her fists in glorious Solar flame, but she cannot develop Charms to grant her raw command of the elements, a warped and demonic body, or other such strange powers:such feats require sorcery or the Evocations of puissant artifacts.
Does anyone else feel that the Backer Charms are threatening to violate this even _before_ they get to the Apocryphal stuff? Running so fast you become a hundred people, Performance charm that dispelssorcerous workings, Occult charm that does combat-time healing, Brawl charm that sets hearts on fire and also does combat-time healing. Element-Sculpted Avatar's whole function toes the line on "warped and demonic body", and I can practically hear the autist who wrote Riotous Cry of a Beast arguing that technically it's command of the _animals_, not the _elements_, which is fine right?
On the good side, this profusion of combat-time healing gives me hope for 3e Lunars getting Halting the Scarlet Flow converted pretty much verbatim. :D

You are confusing de facto end result of a charm with how it's achieved. The flashstep army charm is just running really fast, the performance one is playing music so calming that you can calm the fabric of reality itself, the survival one is just you being at home with animals and elementals such that they are also at home with you (plus that sweet rugged survivalist look, like the new Lara Croft), etc.

No I'm not. But I had the impression that Solars were supposed to stay in theme for both end result of a charm and how it's achieved.
A Solar ought to hide with Stealth Charms, because Stealth is the hiding ability.
A Sidereal can legitimately hide with Melee Charms if it's done by a melee-flavored method such as "stabbing my visibility".
Several of the backer charms, IMO, are of the "stabbing my visibility" sort.
>>47609472

>But I had the impression that Solars were supposed to stay in theme for both end result of a charm and how it's achieved.
That would get weird. It would require a standardized definition of what the end result of a charm is. Both shooting lasers from your eyes and shooting someone with a bow kill someone at distance. Similarly both calming a storm with a song and just being really tough help survive a storm.
>>47609472
I agree. I think some of the core book Charms were stretching the limits of Solar themes, too, like that one possession Charm in Stealth.
>>47605624
She looks like Mirror Flag.
>>47609549
I don't quite see how that would make things weird? I mean, the point was that *both* the end result *and* the way it's achieved should adhere to Solar themes. How is it relevant that both things that are thematically appropriate to Solars and thing that aren't can have similar end results?

That thread was just after my first ever tabletop campaign finished, and it was exalted 2e.

I don't recall seeing artwork like that, though I haven't really paid attention to it either.
There aren't pictures of people getting the crap beaten out of them probably for the same reason the game isn't called "Masochist : the beating"
Focus is main;y on being awspme

What about main;y being awspme by beating up an enemy, and that enemy happens to be a woman?
I get that the anon was weird with their request, but that's not a sound counterpoint.

Thats never really been the case as far as im aware. Solars were always limited in theme but not in application. Godspeed steps in 2e wasnt straight up teleportation but it accomplished the same affect. Many stealth charms are invisibility without actually being invisibility.
aww...just read infernal preview. that they weren't just another ability based solar offshoot was exactly what I liked about that splat. makes me worry what they'll do to the alchemicals :(

I think that kind of undermines the point of Solars being limited in theme. What does that even mean if here are no limications on application?
>>47610804
Wow, that's a blast from the past.
Those previews are worthless, the backlash to them forced a full rethink of the lot
>>47610804
although I do like that the yozi actually have a plan this time. in my games I always pretended ed wasn't so pants on head retarded and breakaway infernals were somehow playing into his hands(even if it was just by being loud obvious distractions. but mostly I went with the "reclimation is great if it works out, otherwise at least this lets us grow" part which the preview mentions too so thats nice i guess)

oh, cool. I just saw them linked in the previous thread and saw we had moved on to this one.
