[Lords of Creation] The Ubiquitous OOC Thread

[Valentine1]

Many-a-man has died from a failed perception roll.


edit: Many-a-man has died from HAVING NO DODGE CHARMS.

 

[Sarky]

Nah, it's ok. You won't die just yet.


Should have a new thread up soon enough. Then the funtiems can begin.

 

[Tabby]

And mostly for Aero's benefit, since I know that he's too illiterate to read.

And with that out of the way, Alia:


Performance 4>5 ((4x2) -1)=7XP


Archery (Powerbows +1) Speciality: 3XP


10XP spent, 2 stored for the next delectable tasty nuggets of glorious XP.

Forgive me, I've never had an Exalt alive long enough to get to XP. For training an increase, do you need that much time doing nothing else?


To put it in DnD terms (where I'm far more familiar) is it like magic enchanting (and the poor wizard does nothing else) or is it like mundane crafting (and it's done, most typically, off screen or during times like 'lol first watch')?

 

[Sarky]

Usually you need the training times, but I'm being nice tonight.

 

[Valentine1]

Well it dramatically looks like I need more dodge or combat skills, but that seems horribly metagaming when I planned on getting a solid grasp on some social charms.


And this little guy here -really- wants Ship-Claiming Stance. I'm at a loss!

 

[Devlin]

Yes, but even if he is a massive otter, the Kentucky Derby doesn't allow any other animal then horses.

 

[Blacklion]

Wat. why you tripping i aint do nothing Tabby. You ho. Where's my money

 

[Valentine1]

Yes, but even if he is a massive otter, the Kentucky Derby doesn't allow any other animal then horses.

That's nothing a little talkin' won't change.


"Screw the rules, they've got halos!"

 

[Blacklion]

So confused. What does rating mean? Like If boosting a stat requires for XP and you times it by 2, it's 8, so you need 8 points per favored stat boos for one dot?

FAIR ENOUGH


Also, Kain has been updated.

"rating" = "whatever the current skill/attribute is at"


So:


Attribute rating x 4 (rating) months


Means if you have Strength 4 and want to go to 5, it requires 4x4 = 16xp, and takes 4 months to train.


Or so I believe.

 

[Sarky]

And we have a new scene ready to go. Have fun, kids, the Wyld Hunt is here!

 

[Valentine1]

Due to it being late and my absolute fretting at ALL THE COOL THINGS I could be learning to do, I think I'm just going to bank for now.

 

[Devlin]

For the love of god someone wake Kain's drunk ass up!

 

[Valentine1]

guys there's no less than three dragon blooded and heavily armored mortals.


We've got a combat-useless pirate, a drunken pretty-boy with an otter, a mechanic, and an angsting teen/young adult. Oh, and shooty-arrows up there doing god knows what.


My suggestion for tactics easily follows along with what everyone was already thinking: Send in the Otter, he's our last hope.

...Damned be the Sun, he takes after Master!

 

[Devlin]

true story, when i was looking for an animal to use, i saw that picture and decided otter

 

[Valentine1]

The only thing even remotely as badass as an otter is a badger. I think we're in good hands.


...unless one of those DBs has a badger familiar.


Hahah! If we live long enough to have persistent BBEGs, there should definitely be an evil badger involved just to tango with the otter.

 

[Devlin]

My otter will dawn his war suit and go into battle courageously!


I should name him before then I think. Got any good ideas?

 

[Sarky]

You guys know what Blood-Apes are, right? Beautiful.

This is what brought my last game of Exalted to a halt.

Barley! Patches! Mittens!


Or something like "The Twice Glorified Golden Hammer, That Which Slinks Naughtily: Hugo, Celestial Otter."


Ain't no rules that say Otters can't Exalt.


"Well, actually--" GOLDEN HALOS "Ain't no rule, Cap'n!"

The eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!

 

[Devlin]

I dare say he better not exalt, lest we all have to face the power of my solar otter.


Seymour I think I will call him Seymour

 

[Devlin]

{That's the best awareness roll I've ever made for an otter...}

Damn right, cause that Otter is gonna win the Kentucky derby
