[Come on, Baby, Light My Fire] The Metaworld

Unless it was house-ruled, the cap is Legend -1 for Epics and Purviews.


Yup, page 99 in Hero. "No Score in a Scion's Epic Attribute may be equal or surpass his Legend score. Similarly, no Scion may possess a Boon rated equal to or greater than his Legend."
 
..... Fuck. I gotta move around some points now. Crap. And lose some Knacks. Gahh... THE MATHHH!


*Kidding. Not that bad at math. It's just Tedious.*
 
Well, at least you get a chance while the cat (GM) is away!


Also, I'll laugh if my rather chaste shounen action hero Scion gets the most shipping.
 
Hey. I think I'm gunna have some shippers after me.


Apeareance 5 is not changing, and I'm keeping one of my Dots of Epic in that. Might even move the EXP into just, mundane Charisma.
 
Ho Damn. Charisma/Appearance both at 5, with one Epic in Each.. Deciding which Knacks to drop, now. Hard Part, I have reached thee.


Also.... 424/425 EXP Spent, now.

Oh, Mei? What's your verdict on the Alternate Tsukumo-gami?

We're using the alternate version, mainly because the level 3 power is much more sensible than the original. I may limit some of the more broadly based powers, but we'll take that as it comes.
 
*nods* Understood. Now to work... *grabs over-sized pen and paper to start writing everything*


Edit: Also it just occurred to me Mei, but aren't our Scions the half-siblings to Amaterasu and Susano-o? :D

Also- I statted Luke- even though with current scheduling I'm not sure I'll get to use him- and... well, opinions on how I stated the Poor bastard?

And Tsukuyomi.
 
Y'know. Read some more Song of Ice and Fire...


What if Luke and Sister/Lover where Twins? Just to make them more Lannisterly? I'd replace the 3 Dot Guide with her as a three-dot guide instead, if that's okayed.


And then I'd laugh my ass off, for a gooood long while. At the Greek Lannisters.

Your sister would not be a Guide as she doesn't know any more about what's going on than you do. As for it actually happening... I don't see them splitting up if they're both Scions, if another player were interested in that story, I think it'd be interesting, but I don't want to play an NPC who hangs around with you guys all the time.
 
Oh hey I'm making a male variant broken bird! We can be broken birds together, foolish!


yay Byronic heroes! Only not morally ambiguous ones.

Almost done with my character build -- what do you think of this Boon?


CORPSE ORACLE (DEATH ••)


A twelfth charm I know: if I see a hanged man I can bring him down from the gallows to whisper to us all he remembers.


Dice Pool: Charisma + Command


Cost: 1 Legend


This Boon requires the whole head or skull of a corpse; if there isn’t enough meat on the bones to hold the jawbone, the Scion must wire the jaw in place. The ritual itself varies from pantheon to pantheon, from the blood offerings of the Æsir to the solemn recitations of the Pesedjet. Afterward, the Scion may ask and receive an answer to one question for every success on the roll. A corpse entreated with this Boon only knows what it has seen since the day of its death; to learn what it knew in life, the Scion must seek the extant spirit.

I like it, but 1) what does a corpse "see"? The things that would have seen if it had been alive? A bird's eye view of the area around it? Can it hear and smell things? and 2) Is it compelled to be honest? Does it know who you are? Is its personality largely intact?
 
1) I assume it sees what it would have seen if it had been alive, plus it "remembers" the circumstances leading up to its death. A bird's-eye view would make the Boon more useful, but I don't want to overbalance, since (2) the corpse is compelled to be truthful. I assumed a speaking corpse's responses would be eerie, hollow and somewhat mechanical, although leaving it its personality raises some weird metaphysical questions (what happens if the ghost of the deceased is present when the corpse is interrogated? That's some serious L. Frank Baum shit.)
