[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

[JayTee]

And if you have no intention of flurrying, ever?

 

[Esbilon]

Long, charm-intesive battles. If every attack is boosted with an excellency and another charm, your stunt bonus only gets you back the the motes spent on the other charm no matter what you payed for the Excellency.


Also, I don't get your fighting style Flurries rock.

 

[JayTee]

If you look at Fist of the Daystar, a significant chunk of its effects are based around pure, raw damage magnification. For 2 motes I can add (Essence + Essence) to the raw damage of an attack, and double any extra successes. For an extra 3 Motes I can blast a target away and inflict (Martial arts x5) as an additional damage roll. For an additional 6 motes I can apply that damage to everyone within (Essence) yards of me as an undodgeable AoE.


I don't need flurries.

 

[Esbilon]

Which of those effects would not be more awesome if applied more times?

 

[JayTee]

It's a stylistic thing, I find singular, punishing blows to be more awesome than fist spamming.


Ah, perfect example:

[JayTee]

That, and I've yet to see a multi-attack option implemented in a game that wasn't decried as broken

 

[Arynne]

Well, Skadi's favored Abilities are already at 5, so my choice is simple. She needs some good mental defenses now.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Mmmmm, sweet sweet charms, come to me....now I just need training times.

 

[Feantari]

Spent some XPs as well. Also, I don't think there is anything saying we need to rush out and fight this guy now right? We can take a week to get oriented, enlighten more DKs, move things out of the stasis chamber, repair the airships, make gear for the DKs, etc.

 

[Arynne]

You're assuming he won't rush out and attack us...

 

[Feantari]

Fair enough. :-P

 

[JayTee]

Should we start making awareness checks? Just in case our dear enemy Dawn is doing the same thing we are and sending spies out and about?

 

[Arynne]

When not netting more wild stalkers, Skadi will be exploring the area. She will certainly be keeping a weather-eye open for observers.

 

[JayTee]

Sounds good, although we might want to travel in pairs from now on, just in case of assassins or something.

 

[Arynne]

Good luck finding Skadi when she's in the water being an anaconda or a caiman or something...or up in the canopy of a tree as an eagle.

 

[MrSerious]

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I vote in he morni g we go pick up our retinue and belongings.

 

[JayTee]

Makes sense to me.

 

[Arynne]

At least you have yours close at hand. Skadi left hers Oop North.

 

[Arynne]

Well, except what she's got on.

 

[MrSerious]

What would it take to make more DK souls?

 

[JayTee]

Wyld Shaping Technique?

 

[Esbilon]

Mmm, I don't think so. But I'd be happy to experiment when we have a few months with nothing better to do

 

[Arynne]

I suppose you'd have to create living Dragon Kings somehow, then have the Maidens weave them into the Loom of Fate.

 

[Arynne]

Of course, if it were that easy, the Solars would have done it already...unless the Maidens refused for some enigmatic reason: "It is not their time now."

 

[JayTee]

I hold roughly the same amount of enmity t0wards vague prophetic shenanigans as I do towards the Fair Folk. If that's the only reason they give, I say we go out of our way to revive the Dragon Kings out of spite.


We're Exalted, screw fate.
