Combos of multyExalt genre

Is that possible?


I'm not sure about this, I never read the book very carefully, but can you create Combo out of Charms from different types of Exalts?


An Eclipse can learn Charms from other types of Exalts (like we all know), so could he take, say, Excellent Strike (Solar), Orchestration of Conflict (Sidereal), and Elegant Flowing Deflection (Abyssal) and create a Combo which allows him to add dice to his attacks, reduce the target number and reduce the opponent's defending dice pool?

I'm certain you can, but will it be effective? The example you showed will cost something like 36 motes (or higher, can't recall if non-Solar Charms cost double or +1.) I think you are better off making Solar versions of those Charms if you are making Combos out of non-shtick Charms...

 

[Skari-dono]

I'm sertain it is +1 for non-Solar Charms, so for the exampled Combo to have any real effect (in my oppinion) it would cost 18 motes (5 for the Sidereal Charm [2+2+1], 5 for the Abyssal Charm [2+2+1, taken in account that combining Elegant Flowing Feint with Excellent Strike has the same rules as combining it with Furious Blade] and 8 for the Solar Charm [2+2+2+2]) which will give you extra 4 dice to attack with, reduce the target's defence by 2 dice and reduce the target number by 2 (down into 5).


If it will cost 36 motes, that would create a very powerful outcome :twisted:


Say we have an Eclipse Solar with Dexterity+Melee rating of 5 an Essence rating of 2 he/she can at most spend 26 motes in this Combo (I think).


That would be a very interesting combo, even though it's exspansive :twisted:

But would you spend that much motes on a single attack against anything below Celestial? For that much motes, you could cast a Celestial spell and destroy a village. Also Celestials could just PD them. (or some other esoteric defence. All that combo does is boost your sword-swinging prowess.)


If you are going to combo non-Solar Charms, only make combos with utility Charms. I think it's the only way they'll worth the cost.

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.

The core book says it cost double to buy and use other books say this more clearly
