Okay, you need to check a couple of resources for research. Â First, we already have a canonical example of this happening. Â The First and Forsaken Lion in locked inside his tin-can for the rest of ever and ever. Â Read up on that for some of the limitations. Â Next up, check out that one guy...
I've been reflecting upon the numerous threads dedicated to the massive power of this Exalt and that demon, and the niftiness the artifact of doom can do that I've seen over the years, and I thought about the potential for good an Exalt has. Â Case in point, I've got an idea for this medium...
Ah the joys of retail. Â 100% marks up all the way around. Â Except for The North Face. Â Their shit is around 115-130% above wholesale pricing. Â It's like a license to print money.
Rereading the Autos book, I'm surprised that it's one of my favorites. Â I mean, I really like the Alchemicals, they're one of the most mechanically sound Exalts, but the rest of the book, well, kind of sucks. Â The first chapter is interesting, but too short, the miracles of the machine god...
Wait a second.
"They have a samurai-ish code of honour, which should allay some fears right away of wanton violence"
You do know those saumrai routinely slaughtered entire populations, right? Â And that the industrialized Japanese military, that used bushido as a propagandic tool, committed...
It would be interesting to see the Realm industrialize like Germany did. Â Lookshy so easily turns into Britain in this scenario it's not even funny. Â Picture the intrigue that would go on between the two. Â And then play the Autos as the Soviets...damn. Â This is too easy.
Hear hear!
How would you handle Horror marks? Â
I can imagine the paranoia among players after they begin finding tainted artifacts. Â Mmmm...
Hey, wait. Â This could actually force players to use their virtues. Â Whoa!
No no no. Â He'd just be the head of the new Deliberative. Â For a while at least. Â
But yeah, basically. Â A naturally gifted politician who gains power in a series of lightning fast strokes, seemingly coming out of no where, and welds the nation together to face an internal or external...
Regarding the rickshaws, and actually all Autochthonian vehicles, did the writer(s) of the Locust War chapter not have access to the Miracles of the Machine God chapter? Â There's a world of difference between the vehicles in those two chapters, and I don't think the Autos would invade and...
Mmm...autobot gunzosha...
That's just sick when coupled with that autosuccess adder thaumaturgical item they have. Â What is that, plus two dice and plus two successes for every attack and parry? Â For mortals? Â Beefed up, armor-plated mortals wielding essence weaponry? Â Add in those nifty...
Tell me it wouldn't be an interesting and perhaps scary campaign. Â Although I think for the most surprising results he should be a minor patrician Exalt from a very poor and poorly conected family, perhaps he served with some distinction in the Legions after washing out of the House of Bells or...
...hammers it with the remaining chakram, spiking it back into the target and raising damage, repeating the process until the opponent resembles beets* in a cuisinart? Â An early permanent charm that boosts initiative? Â A later charm that enables mad dice pool splitting without somehow stepping...
If the Realm were to follow real world politics, then I would have to predict somebody totally unknown at the moment. Â Perhaps a young man rejected from the the Tuchara art school...
