[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Adapt or die. Solars are no longer the top dog. Now we have an entire dragon-blooded empire hounding for our heads and a gathering of Lunars whom some of which clearly remember how badly we fucked everything up.


I don't know about you, but I'd be inclined to treat my Lunar and Terrestrial cohorts with a bit more respect.
 
Looking over Featnari's sheet it occurs to me that without my Solar Charms, he could outcraft my character >.> Then I suppose he is worthy to be my apprentice. Additionally, I didn't think Dragon Blooded could reach Essence 6? I thought they were capped at 5? Or am I incorrect in this.
 
If I remember correctly, the highest they can get naturally is E7. Terrestrial lifespan doesn't allow for higher essence.
 
...ice maiden Skadi, raised by Fair Folk, is the only one concerned with justice here. Second Age, I am so sorry. :P

Just found it. Essentially, spare Background points become BP? Thats.... Disturbingly awesome. Welp, now I no longer have to be concerned about using all of those, though it does seem a bit crazy.
 
My sheet is up. Needs tinkering, and in that sheet is the Infinite Star Saber or the atm Art 5 Custom aerial ship. If there is anything you guys want to add to/remove from/improve upon/suggest alterations I'll be all for it. (And then after that I can toss it to our lovely ST for approval. ^^) Or should I post it here?


Also... Gah, we talk a lot, and I just got here. xD

You are. They rarely get old enough for ess 6, but theres no other problem.

But that's mainly because they die so often in the field, right? And which Dragon-Blood of the Realm has months straight free to go sit around meditating in a volcano?
 
Next question - do we all actually know each other? Or did Mr Sidereal round us up and put us into stasis days before the Usurpation? I may put 1 or 2 points into Reputation yet as a crafter.
 
Edit: Oh boy duplicates... well my connection is being funny sooo not too unexpected for me. xD
 
I would say that your custom airship qualifies as artifact N/A and would definitely need a group pool of dots to have in our possession. But of course its' up to Sherwood whom I suspect is rapidly developing a headache :D

I was planning on having you all know each other, having spent the past several hundred years doing the work of the Deliberative. You may not be the closest friends, but you have worked on various projects together.

Just repeating my questions from previously in the thread


How does 3rd Appearance Excellency work? JayTee votes that it simply doubles my effective appearance, I'd say it ads half my appearance on top of it since it's a static value, but not one that's been halved the way DVs are.


May I take the Oramus-aspected Hearthstone Sign of Chaos (Ink Monkeys compilation page 119)? It effectively gives me the Raksha Background Style at the same rank as the Hearthstone.


Should we pay for backgrounds that are useless in the Second Age, but which out characters would have had in the First? Connections, Cult, Reputation and Salary spring to mind.

Lets go with the adding half your appearance to your static value.


Yes, you can start with that hearthstone.


I don't see a need for you to spend points on backgrounds that you don't have any more. You can trade them in for bonus points and use them elsewhere on your sheet.
 
How do we operate with/without the Wealth Background again? Do we just take it in order to secure prerequisites for Arsenal/Panoply, and get nothing? Does it turn into Resources? :/
 
Wealth is represented by say a ton of stuff that you have acquired, stuff that could likely disrupt the entire direction's economy, but stuff all the same.


De'aneir'a's wealth is stashed in her manse, and likely some other places not yet recovered.

By no means.


By getting Wealth 5 + Arsenal 4 + Panoply 4, you can get every 4 dot artifact you want, so long as it not in quantities that makes the Deliberative think you're going to rebel. But certainly, every established Exalt needs a Warstrider, a combat armor and a party armor for starters. And that's for those of us who aren't really into the whole fighting thing.


You can of course adjust down if you're not quite as bling-addicted ;)
 
OK. I am slow tonight.


But Arsenal + Panoply + Wealth = how much l00t you could have in the First Age = how much you could conceivably have stashed away now?

Your Wealth is represented by the fact that you have had some time to prepare for your stasis exile, on the order of several years. Same goes for your Arsenals. You knew that this was coming, and were able to liquidate some of your assets to build up materials to use to aid your efforts of recovery. You just never expected to be in stasis for so long.
