The TB Shield is also the source of the ever-so-broken Sidereal Soak monster. Â Two damage off the top with Starmetal shield and armor.
Now I just have to build my essence 4 twilight with starmetal armor and shield...
You came up with a homebrew flaw and didsn't ask me about it?  *sob*
Everybody here has given you good advice on it.  I think it's good to go for Saturday.
Two quick questions:
1) How do affects that let me soak lethal damage with my bashing soak affect hardness? Â Do I get to apply bashing hardness to lethal damage?
2) How do affects that halve damage (such as Unbreakable Bones of Stone or Body-Forging Travail) interact with the twilight...
Stonefish venom from Savage Seas does 7L and has a difficulty 4 roll. Â It also imposes a -4 roll. Â Of course, a little Ox-Body will take care of that, but it'll kill a mortal outright, and the -6 (-4 poison, -2 wound) penalty isn't something to sneeze at.
I'd ditch the agg damage bit. Â I always thought it was stupid. Â It'll cut you really good, not vaporize your arm. Â
And remember, the aggravated damage was supposed to be balanced out by it being extremely brittle. Â Of course, I'd still allow the stuff to do crazy things like any mono-edge...
Yes, as of Autochthonians, Adamant recieves all the true benefits of being a MM. Â There has been some suggestion that it is brittle only in creation, or that the adamant mentioned in ToT is not "true" adamant, much like moonsilver that is improperly mined can be. Â
However, there are other...
EM, as a mature adult I'm sure you already know this, but Exalted is not a competition.  I'm not quite sure how to describe it in only a few sentences, but you KNOW it isn't about how you're character is doing with respect to the other PCs. ÂÂ
Let me give you an example.  I had a PC...
I do believe somebody has the devs on the record saying it costs double mote cost for an Eclipse/Moonshadow to use a non-Solar charm.
But the core book as written is rather unclear on the matter.
I believe the author is on record as saying that they CAN'T just buy empty slots. Â I think part of the reason was for the sake of balance because you can get a heck of a lot of slotless charms with the backgrounds. Â Those are intended to be switched out as you change purposes, not held there...
Sheridan--
One major problem I see is that if you use power combat, the damage from the armor can be quite severe. Â Ess ping can be quite annoying if you've attacked three times or so. Â
Another problem is the attunement cost. Â A celestial laughs at three motes commitment. Â I know its...
I posted over on the n00b forum, but I'd like to ask a broader question here.
Does anyone think the PG dire lance stats are too high? And if so, what should they be?
Under the PG rules, how much damage does a Dire Lance do on a charge? Â It says it does extra damage, but not how much.
Also, does anybody think the dire lances stats (esp. damage) are too high?
