[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

I hope not, but then I'm running on old info on that one (Ring of Being) and I think it was just bad thinking about it. xD
 
It's alright, I'll take the Ring of Being out, no problem, just can someone explain me exactly how much can you get with the different levels of Arsenal and Wealth?
 
The way I read the rules. Wealth works like Resources, but for artifacts. So if you have Wealth 5, you can buy any number of level 4s, but as soon as you buy a level 5, it drops to rank 4 and you're stuck with infinite level 3s from now on.


Arsenal by itself doesn't do anything, it merely means that the Deliberative is fine with you grabbing tons and tons of weapons (well, maybe not tons, but kilograms and kilograms sounds awful). Panoply is the same, but for things taht aren't good in combat.


To get an artifact 5, you either have to buy the Artifact 5 background or Arsenal/Panoply 5 and Wealth 5, but reduce it for every such artifact you grab.


So, in your case.


Get Wealth 5, Arsenal 5, Panoply 5, this costs you 12 bg points and 6 bps. Shop amok in level 4s.


Buy a Celestial Battle Armor. This reduces your Wealth from 5 to 4. Now buy that rank back with another 2 bps.


Then you can buy a Ring of Being which costs you 2 more bp.


And so on until you run out of bps.
 
Quest-happy? I thought you were "sitting on a mountain"-happy ;)


I'm open to the idea, but my sleep-addled brain doesn't really see anything obvious for our characters to have in common.
 
Alright, got it, but do I still need Panoply 5 for combat artifacts? I thought that was only for utilitarian items.
 
I probably failed to communicate it poorly, but he's less of an ascetic and more a minimalist. The idea is that he's a Solar who never really grew out of the "questing/training" phase of his life to take on a kingdom of his own or other things that Elder Solars do.
 
I believe Esbilon has it right.


I suggest avoiding most Artifact 4-5's listed in Oadenol's codex. For the most part, they aren't terribly well balanced, with exceptions such as Death at the Root (which is pretty solid, IMO). If you want some kickass Artifacts and don't like Magitech or the few bits and pieces of later material that has been released, I suggest you think about some effects you'd like and then post your thoughts here. I for one would be glad to assist in helping make some custom artifacts.
 
That is one damn long quest, you have essence 6 right? So you have spent 100 years at least just training and questing?

You are correct.

And he quests wothout artifacts? And without making friends with gods and monsters?


In any case, sure, but I'm in bed now and really shuld sleep. Tablets are the devil's delocious work.
 
He did all the sidequests first. ALL of the sidequests in Creation, Hell, Yu-Shan and the Underworld.
 
I think quite a few Solars never grew out of questing and avoiding responsibility...look at Desus.
 
Like I said, he's a minimalist. Sort of like the Lone Ranger or the Man with No Name, but with Kung-Fu and Charms instead of a mask, poncho and bullets.
 
That was sort of the idea, Arynne. He's kind of the anti-Desus. He quests like a madman, but he's pretty levelheaded and chill.
 
I figure De'aneir'a likely had do some of that questing bit (aka learning of the world so she can one day rule over the Vestra Province appropriately, perhaps when she was just a few decades old), so she might have joined that for a decade or less. She likely had a lot of contact (annoying or not maybe) with Copper Ryu. Not sure if she would have much contact with the North Direction aside from component gathering. Likely she met anyone of anyone else in various trips to Meru/Calibration feasts/ect... Or until I finish reading other backstories. xD

Characters all look good. I have a hot date with my wife for our anniversary tonight, so I'll be making the first posts of the game, probably tomorrow or the next day. This will give you all time to work out just how well you know each other and for you to give me basic info on Allies and Followers to work with as NPCs.

I need more time!
 
Ok, I corrected the background costs and such to afford 2 artifacts at level 5, if anyone could give it a quick check and let me know if I got it right?
 
I can work with that Myllinnia. Did you have specifics in mind or just "I showed you around Creation for a bit"?
 
Working on a custom artifact and I need some feedback/input/ST buy-in.


Peerless Lightning Accelerator ●●●


Base Stats for Jade Sling of Deadly Prowess: Speed 4, Accuracy +2, Damage +4L, Rate 2, Range 200, Attune 3


+Lightning damage: Piercing tag, no ammo required


+Accelerator!: As the sling spins the minute blue jade filaments on the back of the pouch gather an increasing static charge. For each tick of aim taken the damage is increased by 2L, to a maximum of the wielder's essence x 2. If an exalt should try to or be forced to exceed this limitation, the energy discharges in a loud bang. Everyone (including the wielder) within essence x2 yards of the weapon must succeed at a Stamina + Resistance roll difficulty 3 or be deafened by the blast for <duration?>.
 
Help me come up with an appropriate rating 5 Solar aspected hearthstone for my manse, I need ideas! Or talk me into sacrificing the hearthstone levels for more powerzz :D
 
Check out gem of perfect mobility. Technically could cut crafting times in half, but possibly only if its a solo project.


What sort of effects would you be looking for? Since you designed your own manse the hearthstone powers are probably pretty tailored to you.
 
Hmm, just reviewing the Powers section and I have an evil idea. Biggest problem with Crafting is the time factor - how damn long it takes to do anything. With Wyld Revocation (page 77, Oadenal's Codex) I could apply that to the actual factory cathedral portion of the manse to accelerate the passage of time, so that crafting in that room appears to occur at normal pace, but in Creation much less time has passed. The description is vague enough that it is technically allowable, with GM approval of course :)
