If a rider of a mount wishes to trample a target, would the attack roll be based on Ride? Â Mammoths have a good trample attack and sometimes somebody riding one wants to step on something. Â :)
This is what I have in mind: Â
Flayed Flyers
Soon after the first Essence Gliders (Wonders, p. 52) arrived in the Underworld as grave goods, Underworld craftsmen began experimenting with ways to include a similar frame into a flying undead. Â After a few decades of experimentation, the...
Thanks for some ideas! Â Shooting spine chains would be cool! Â
I'm currently thinking of making a undead flying creature inspired by the Essence Glider in the north (which is where our current campaign is centered). Â Cover the wings with skin, give it a number of eyes for 360 degree...
Disease transmission would be a good ranged weapon, and verbal ranged weapons seem to be an Exalted theme. ÂÂ
What about flying machines?  Manual flight for humans is hard, but you have to lift an entire human.  Necromancy could animate a pair of wings with a head powered by eight...
What sort of mechanical constructs might be possible? Â Zombies aren't the best soldiers, but are excellent at repetitive physical tasks. Â Ammunition is a problem, but I guess that's a problem for all ranged attacks.
I'm preparing an adventure that will include mass combat with undead armies and am looking for ideas for troops with ranged combat. Â The power level should be around something that could be animated by Walking War Machine. Â Any ideas?
My impression was the the dominant political faction in Lookshy (I can't remember the name) had a live and let live policy. Â They might not employ Solars in the military, but trading with them would be okay. Â Even demons have their uses. Â
One Solar in an army might not make a big as impact...
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Â :D Â
One of the PCs in my group has an influential DB friend in Lookshy and workingwith Lookshy is something that's being considered.
Sure, but the Wyld Hunt costs money, time, and manpower. Â A new Solar could easily get killed trying to recover something from an ancient ruin. Â Do you think the Realm would place bounties are less immediate threats? Â If so, how would they confirm that the Solar had been killed?
What if the spell created a sanctum of some form and required a creation of a duplicate body using Wyld Shaping and blood from the target. Â The body would have to be identical, so no increasing Attributes, etc. via this magic, but this would allow opponents a way to threaten the use of the...
My initial thought is to have the Charm be one use only and allow that character to purchase up to his Essence in Charms.  If a character died half a dozen times doing stupid stuff, he'd have to have Essence 6+ and not be able to die doing anything epic.
I wouldn't mind if it were sorcery...
The Gem of Incomparable Wellness discussion makes me wonder if there could be a Medicine Charm that allows for complete regeneration from death. Â Med 3-Essence 3 allows a character to regenerate lost limbs, so why not total regeneration? Â It'd have to be balanced. Â For example, maybe the...
The rules state that increasing a Solar's Essence above 3 requires mediation and a long pilgrimage to a mountain or a desert. Â I'm playing a Twilight with Survival 1, so a trip to the middle of the wilderness seems to be to be OOC. Â What other things might he do? Â Build a shrine to the US?
