enlightened mortals

[Djalan Pride]

just looking for a clarification,


can an enlightened mortal go over essence 3? i vaguely remember god blooded turn into spirits at that point, but what about the lowly old thamaturge?

 

[Mr. S]

They are sometimes tested for exaltation when not god blooded.

It's possible for mortals to become gods, but is probably much harder than for God-bloods. There's the Taleweaver who became a god by tricking powerful celestial gods into giving him powers over and over whenever he visited during the Carnival of Meetings.

 

[Jukashi]

Enlightened mortals can only get to Essence 3 on their own. If they go higher it's only be being given another dot of Essence by a god or similarly powerful being, at which point they become spirits. Basically, non-Exalted humans can't go to Essence 4 or higher without becoming something else.

 

[Quchu]

Someone should throw in an Essence 4 mortal as the endboss of a campaign with Essence 8+ Exalts.

 

[Persell]

Why? Just to hear that particular splaty-crunch noise mortals tend to make?

 

[Smeggedoff]

Splunch?
