[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

It's basically the same Charm, minus a single mote reduction in cost. I made that Charm back before Flashing Vengeance Draw got a buff (that was 2008, damn that was a while ago). That said, given Flashing Vengeance Draw is much stronger these days, your version there would probably be equally good.


I misspoke earlier. I had meant to say "Flashing Draw Mastery", which you can find on pg 18 of the Ink Monkeys Collection.

Ah, all this Flashing stuff confuses me.


And it's not the same charm, mine adds Essence, yours adds Awareness.

I've always hated trying to come up with custom Charms that are balanced for what they do in comparison with what they cost. I see nothing wrong with either one of these Charms, and will tentatively approve their use, knowing that this will probably come back and bite me in the ass in future fights. :rolleyes:

 

[Esbilon]

Thank you for pointing out Flashing Draw Mastery (really, that's the best they could come up with next to Flashing Vengeance Draw), but it doesn't do what I need it to since it only adds 1 sux.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Hmm.. I misread that custom Charm's cost earlier. You basically have the same effect as the Second Excellency for 1/4th the cost. OP if you ask me. I suggest that before it's implemented the cost be raised to 2m, or 3m for the pan-join roll effect. That would be considerably more balanced in the face of other existing JB modifiers.

Awesome, in that case I'm grabbing Speeding Falcon Action.


I'm happy paying a few extra motes for it.


And it's not the same as 2nd Excellency, since it doesn't add to, you know, spotting things.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Right, that's why the 2nd Excellency has the cost it does, but 1m just feels a little low for a +(Essence) successes effect whereas 2m feels pretty good.

 

[Esbilon]

Like I said, not a problem.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Cool. I may even have Storm pick up that Charm himself at some point, if only to improve his Join War rolls. For now, though, he needs Athletics Charms and that godly weapon-buffing Charm that Aurrora has.

 

[Esbilon]

I posted the final write-up here: http://www.rpdom.com/threads/sparkling-diamond-rose.55300/#post-757647


And that is one godly charm.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Immortal Blade Triumphant, right? Yeah, that thing is scary.

 

[Esbilon]

Are Ayesha Ura and Nazri still with us?

 

[Sherwood]

Yes. Ayesha has been wrapped up by medics to treat her wounds, but other than that, she is ok.

 

[Esbilon]

Actually, I'm being stupid. What we need to do now is discuss terms with Nazri and Ayesha. They're in charge of the siddies now and they can help us a lot.

 

[Sherwood]

Whoops. I just posted that they both left the area. I can edit that if you want, or you can go after them to ask them to wait.

 

[Esbilon]

Nah, Ayesha doesn't want to talk shop, and Nazri wants to see actions before he does anything else, it's fine.

 

[Sherwood]

Ok. Ayesha just got pummeled pretty bad, and has an unprecidented opportunity to forward the interests of the Gold faction without the interferance of the Bronze. She's taking that and running with it.


Nazri is willing to give you guys a chance, but he's not about to throw himself blindly into an alliance. At least, not yet. He wants to see what you do before making a judgement. At least he's open to the possibility of working with you in the future.

 

[Esbilon]

Indeed, all things considered, this probably went better than we had any right hoping.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Sherwood, whenever you have time, can I get an answer to Aurora's question to the twin gods? Trying to arrange a meeting with the Eastern and Central gods of War?

 

[Sherwood]

Ah yeah. so much going on. I'll post that now.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Thanks man, no rush.

 

[Sherwood]

Like I said before, this is the biggest game I've ever run, either in PbP or tabletop. If I miss something, give me a nudge and I'll get right on your issue.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Those of us in Heaven have no knowledge of the Realm garrison waiting to move on Rathess at the moment right? But we do know that the Bronze could use the Wyld Hunt to attack us in Creation, like they have been doing since the Realm was formed?

 

[Sherwood]

Correct on both counts.

Yes, but now they have to rely on Dragonblooded only, we cut a big swath through their able Sidereal bodies, and a greater one through their credibility among the doubters.
