First time player, questions both mechanical and referencial

Re: First time player, questions both mechanical and referen


It has been mentioned that something of the sort was part of the strength of First Age infrastructure. You'd have the weaker apprentices making Level 1 artifacts, next level making Level 2, next level making Level 3, etc, each then being used to fill the component requirements of the higher level. Now, note, this still would be highly inefficient, and would actually in the end require MORE separate esoteric components than simply getting such normally to make an artifact...however it wouldn't require any more complicated than those components needed for a Level 1 Artifact, which are usually less esoteric. There's advantages to either, and it takes generally more time and infrastructure, but less danger and less creative components to handle such with that method.

I'm considering a set of custom Dragon Blooded Enlightening charms. I would like constructive criticism...


Charm 1: The Glint in the Eye, Brighter than Gold


-- Martial Arts 4, Essence 3, Mastered (All charms in the tree) a terrestrial martial arts style


Permanent


Terrestrial martial arts charms cost 4 xp less and take half the time to train.


After mastering two Celestial Martial arts, Celestial martial arts charms also cost 4 xp less and take half the time to train, in addition it negate the need for a sifu who knows the complete style, a manual on the style will do. The Dragon Blooded may still only learn one Celestial Martial arts style at a time, with the same xp penalties for learning Terrestrial martial arts charms.


Charm 2: The Sweat on the Brow, Better than Jade.


--Martial Arts 5, Essence 4, Any Martial Arts Excellency, Mastered (All charms in the tree) 2 terrestrial martial arts styles


Permanent, Enlightening


All form charms have their speed reduced by 1 tick. While in a form charm, the style’s form weapons gains a +1 accuracy or +1 damage (Player’s choice) for every dot of essence over the form charm’s minimum and every dot of martial arts over the form charm’s minimum.


After Mastering(All charms in the tree) a Celestial Martial Arts Style, the Dragon-Blooded no longer needs to make a (Dexterity + Martial Arts) Check to assume the style’s form charm.
