[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

In that case, I think it's fine to say they're not. Rose did ask Sash a question earlier, but that was also specified to be back in the chamber with the map, so...


*shrug* I'm not sure we're wholly consistent, and everyone is spread out. If you want to say something without them, I think that'd be fine.
 
I've never been able to find any rules on stacking bonuses in Exalted, besides the cap on dice added from charms. Rose has Wings of the Raptor, Infinfinite Resplendence Amulet and the 3rd Appearance Excellency which add 4, 3 and 3 to her appearance respectively. To which extent do they stack? I should point out that she also has Perfect Symmetry, so letting them all stack will make her laugh at social combat even more than she does now.
 
Equipment bonuses don't stack, if I remember correctly


Edit: Page 15 of the Errata:


Bonuses from equipment (including magical material bonuses) do not stack with one another; the character enjoys only the best among his various modifiers. For example, a Dragon- Blooded character with a jade daiklave and jade hearthstone bracers would only lower his Speed by one point—the two magical material bonuses will not stack to produce Speed -2. Likewise, a character wearing lamellar armor and a magic girdle that provides armored soak enjoys only the higher of the two soak ratings—they do not stack together.
 
Ah, of course, I only thought of that one in relation to items. Still Appearance 13 is pretty nice :P
 
Congrats Arynne, you found the one thing that could throw a Temperance 3, Conviction 3 Tiger Sage in to a panic.


That was quicker than I expected :confused:
 
Oh, Elusive Dream Defense. The best personalized mute button experience points can buy a Solar.
 
Mechanical question (since we seem to be heading for battle): When I activate Invincible Ego Shield (Thousand Correct Actions page 78-79), I can use my Dodge MDV instead of my Dodge DV, but all bonuses and penalties to either apply to this new Dodge DV. Hearthstone Bracers add +3 dice to my dodge rolls, does this increase the pool my Dodge MDV is calculated from when IES is active?
 
@Mahasuchi: Actually I was thinking of Staring At The Sun, a Charm specifically made to render you immune to appearance differences. No pre-reqs either, only costs 1 mote.


@Esbilon: Invincible Ego Shield is broken and you should't have it, but they would go to your regular dodge pool
 
By strict definition, yeah I think. It won't stack with any equipment bonus (Hearthstone or otherwise) that gives you bonus dice/dots to Integrity.
 
@JayTee, while I see what you're saying, there's a lot of broken things in this game, and Invincible Ego Shield is very far from the worst of them. If Sherwood wants to limit the charms and artifacts available to us based on what's broken, that's fine with me, but I play by the rules as written, not as I would have written them.
 
Of course not, though the problems with the published SMAs are more that they're not written consistently and understandably rather than them being overpowered.

Well, Skadi also has Conviction 3, Temperance 3, and she's pretty freaked. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. ;)

Clementines, actually. Peeling them with your teeth is an adventure in flavor contrasts

This is pretty terrible logic, to be honest. The presence of mechanically unsound things does not morally justify taking them.


What are these broken things in this game?
 
Well. It depends entirely on what one means by "broken" of course. While I have a certain fondness for Exalted's mechanics, it would be a lie to say that everything is balanced against everything else. A lot of items and charms are vastly more powerful than other items or charms at the same level, but frankly, I can't be arsed to go through our sheets and point it out unless the ST has a problem with it.
 
Quick question: how many other people have AoE attacks? 'cause we might want to space ourselves out to avoid splattering each other
