[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

I understand having Sharp Light of Judgment Stance, but to be fair, the kind of excesses that Charms like COBR bring to mind are the exact reason the Bronze Faction saw a reason to get rid of the Solars in the first place.
 
It's a it says "don't fuck with us" in a "we have nukes" kind of way. I'm not sure that's the message we want to send.
 
I agree with both Ma-Ha-Suchi and Esbilon, COBR sends a message that will put us on the same light as the decadent solars from the 1st age.
 
It was how those charms were used that lead to the Bronze Faction deciding to get rid of us. High Essence Charms, by their nature, tend to have a huge impact on anything they're deployed against.


I have no problem buying it, and then only using it once throughout the entire game to send an invading army of Raksah to hell, or some similar action.


How we use our power is more important than what power we have.
 
Therein lies the problem. How do you tell the Bronze Faction "Don't fuck with us, or we'll mess your shit up hardcore" without sending the message that we're somehow different from our predecessors? I suppose there really isn't much we can do already, because Chejop and his lackies already think we need to be targeted for assassination. The question is still relevant though, I think.
 
Indeed, not hunting down and killing people who offend us and going through the Bureaucracy rather than the Legion to set up a meeting are how I've been trying to show that we're different.
 
By fucking their shit up hardcore only in response to situations that warrant large-scale destruction, such as the Balorian Crusade V2.0, or The Silver Prince deciding he's got enough warships to launch an attack on Creation, or The Ebon Dragon converting half a Direction in to his own personal playground as apart of the Reclamation.


Large scale solutions to large scale problems.
 
I think our more pressing concerns are showing the Sids that we can play nice all together, we will need them on our side when dealing with legions of Raksha, Demons or Undead, after all, Sid elders can kill us, and they will try to do so, unless we do something about it.
 
I agree. I have no plans to throw around huge gestures of power and expect others to fall in line. COBR is more a "Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" type thing.
 
That's a nice philosophy. But in this case, it's a philosophy that costs the equivalent of 8 other charms.
 
Skadi, being properly paranoid, is already planning for when the Bronze elders say something like, "We're sorry, you seem like a nice bunch of kids, but you have to die".
 
Also if that charm ever comes into actual play, a little heads up beforehand for the pattern spiders and those working in the loom would be appreciated.
 
I have no problems with that, provided that it's not the bronze faction's actions that required it's use.
 
Heh at the start of this game we were all going to be badass First Age Solars drunk on powder and now everyone is talking about using their abilities responsibly :P
 
My attitude on how I use/abuse my powers swings back and forth more times than a bi-polar indecisive pendulum on crack.
 
I'm curious now -- how did a tattooed Lunar end up in the Cult anyway? Did he stay with the Pact just long enough to get the tattoos, then got disillusioned or angry with them for some reason?
 
It's actually a lot more simple than that. Here's how the scene went:


Sidereal: Hey, your Solar mate is back from the dead and is trying to be all responsible and shit, want to go punch him in the face?


Maverick: Fuck yes!
 
Also, someone should probably help Teggetto combat-optimize his character. We like to PvP and I know nothing about how Lunars operate.
 
I can help, but I need to know how much XP and such he'll be working with. At the moment, though, I think he's kind of screwing himself by having only Willpower 5. WP 7 would be much more like it. Also, Lunars benefit a lot from having a single Virtue very high, so if he doesn't mind having to deal with the bad stuff associated from a high Virtue it would definitely be worthwhile to invest BP in that as well.
