That would actually cost more background dots...

Take a point or two out of Willpower. Remember, it's only going to cost you 1BP per point to increase once the game starts.WarDragon said:
EDIT: It looks like you've already got enough Background dots to cover the DB and your Followers. Why do you need more?

Question for Gbat and Kaji - wouldn't it make more sense for Leafar's Abyssal to be under the watch of the Convention on Deathlords rather than the Convention on War?

I thought that was a subdivision of the Convention of War?
MaHaSuchi's700

Nope, MoEP: Sids lists them as completely separate entities. The Convention on Thorns used to be a subdivision before Mask showed his face, after which the Convention on Deathlords assimilated it. That said, it's still plausible that your character is under the Convention on War, I just feel as though it'd make less sense (though it could result in some interesting cross-Convention political bickering).

I can see it as a joint effort by both divisions (not without some rivalries of course) as they each want to get a hold of the precious info they can obtain, then again, it would depend on Kaji's character main affiliation, as she ends up having the final say on where and how to use her Abyssal resources.
MaHaSuchi's700
Seducing them all, one Celestial at a time
Kaji's character is currently affiliated with the Convention on War. I could see it as a joint effort as well. Hmm.. Maybe I'll just have my character be part of the Convention on Deathlords along that reasoning instead of the Convention on War as I originally planned.

Hmm Deathlords would make more sense, but I had a feeling War would be a more useful convention. Plus my character would love sitting at the Convention table saying she can get the job done with just one agent. Also sorry for not posting more frequently. My university is on the quarter system so this is when all of my papers are due.

Convention on deathlords is actually a subdivision of convention on war. I can always double check but pretty sure that it was the case.
edit: Nevermind, they absorbed the committee for Mask of Winters into the convention on deathlords, which was part of convention on war.

Yup. So what's the plan Batman?Goddamnbatman said:
@Esbilon,WarDragon,JayTee
Regarding stealing from Amoth City Smiter. Can I assume that all of your characters were on it?
If yes can it happen in following way:
Whole thing happened about 2 years ago.Not sure how PC of Esbilon and JayTee got together but they were together when JayTee contacted me(we meet about year earlier) and arranged meeting where I agreed to participate. The we departed to Gem where deed took place.
I'm not sure how WarDragon PC fits there either he came along JayTee or I managed to meet this PC earlier and introduce him to party.
If the second should happen. Maybe our PC(mine and WarDragon's) meet somewhere in Southeast, seeking some fairly famous artifact or better Manse relating to our previous incarnations. Since none of us took manse background let's say that we have found manse but was not functional since dragonlines changed so much that whole thing was just ordinary building. Still there was some treasure with we ... reluctantly shared. Since I approach you under solar disguise and you wasn't hiding your nature so maybe your status as Infernal fugitive (I assume that by that time you were AWOL) came up.

Convention on deathlords would be a better choice indeed.

How are you managing the whole "I'm a Solar schtick" when any obvious-keyworded Infernal Charms will show otherwise?Ludek said:

Will update my sheet soon, now to think of a pretentious title for the Convention on Deathlords. Everything in Yu Shan has one, and the conventions should be no exception.
MaHaSuchi's700

I made up a sub-Convention within the Convention of Deathlords for us already, the sub-Convention on The Count of Unholy Shadows and Blood Stained Sorrows. I can edit it if you have a better-fitting name, though, I couldn't think of a decent codename.

I simply don't use them when you are around (or when witness can latter start talking about it since I don't plan on killing witnesses).
It probably means that I'm lees effective that I could be but this is price of my conspiracy (I also don't plan to do much fighting). Besides 'I'm eclipse' so it could be possible to justify Celedyne shintai and dematerializing tricks as learned spirit charms .. I think.
Anyway during game I fully expect to drop my cover once I decide to use my Heuristic Logo (it's one my PC's latest tricks learned)

What if they use AESS? And what about your castemark if you use peripheral essence?
MaHaSuchi's700
Seducing them all, one Celestial at a time
Honestly Ludek, I'm not sure why you're so set on staying hidden like that. It seems like an awful lot of work for no real benefit should your character be working with us in any way (us non DT's aren't going to get in your way if you aren't planning on turning the South into a demonic wasteland).
Seeker of the End]What if they use AESS? And what about your castemark if you use peripheral essence? [/QUOTE] AESS can be fooled by ESD espectilly if you beef it by excellency. For castemark either I don't use peripheral or ESD allows to mimic catemarks and generally appearance of anima. hm.. thanks for pointing it out. If I can't do that I may be better as masquerading as godbloded or God than exalt. @[URL="http://www.rpdom.com/members/goddamnbatman.17286/ said:

Keep in mind, my DT burns away lies and illusions. He won't hesitate to blow your cover.

Yes, I'm uneasy about it, but mainly also because it will be pretty easy to figure out (see Seeker's comment). The question comes as to why your character feels the need to do so. If it's his approach, cool. I take it then he wasn't part of the group of DTs that took down the Silver Prince?

As I said my cover will fail, just let it play out naturally, It may happen because of my actions or yours or anyone else. As for myself I'm curious how it will happen

Amoth City-Smiter's office is in Yu-Shan. Infiltration there will probably be non-CoDs only. I'm quite sure the Celestial Lions aren't fooled since you are still that, but if you know a back way in that might be ideal.Ludek said:
As for lying to the PCs, I really don't think that's a good idea. PCs (and their players) usually take lying pretty hard. Like calling it "betrayal" and all sorts of silly things. I don't think I've ever seen it done well.
