[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Huh, random thought, but does the time spent in stasis count towards our age? Or to put it another way, does this mean we are over a thousand years old and can buy Essence up to 10 should we so desire?

Not even close. :P
 
Ok, I think I am done and ready with my character, Sherwood, if and when you have time let me know if everything looks ok to you.
 
Hm, I just realized that Steadfast Elemental Emperor Stance renders me immune to all kinds of environmental damage, including those caused by magic such as Lambent Bolt of Annihilation. Meaning that it's a perfectly viable tactic for me to wade in to the fray while the Solar Archers out there spam that at me and any fool army I happen to be fighting.


God I love this game.

Can I get an answer from the GM on using Wyld Revocation to speed artifact construction? :D

Time compression on a factory to speed up construction? Don't you guys have enough stuff already without having to go down this road? <sigh> Ok, I suppose that it would work. BUT you will be stuck inside the zone of time distortion for the entire time you are crafting along with your work force. No one involved with the project would be able to come or go until you were done.
 
We're PCs Sherwood, squeezing every last drop of power out that we can is kinda our whole schtick ;)
 
Keep this up and I'll show you 'squeezing every last drop of power' you greedy bastards! Sheesh! ;)
 
Ok... I can feel the GM getting a bit antsy about this, so I won't implement the idea to start with. Maybe on a future Manse that we will build :D .
 
*looks at her character sheet* I need to find ways to beef up this character...or at least make her so she fills a niche...
 
Ess 6 charms are your friends in that. But being the only lunar in the group should help you fill a niche ;)
 
There's bound to be some overlap between characters. Plus we need a Lunar or two to get Lunar society onside. :D And you can't beat the awesomeness of Lunar shape changing.


Were the Core artifact armors ever re-balanced officially? Since they are kinda crap. I'm looking for just an A2 or A3 artifact armor that won't get me laughed at by my fellow Solars :)
 
The errata shaved several dots of them. Superheavy Plate is now 3 and Reinforced Breastplate is now 2.
 
I believe they did. Or rather by price: Artifact Armor


(pp. 390-391)


The artifact reinforced breastplate is rated Artifact ••.


The artifact articulated plate and artifact superheavy plate


are rated Artifact •••.
 
Got it, cheers. I am a bit under equipped in terms of weapons, except for my bitchin' bow (Crimson Bow). If anyone turns their nose up at his minor equipment, he can just state that none of it needs maintenance and will last forever.
 
Same here. Skadi is, like I said, a rugged survivalist (which is probably part of how she ended up in the cold sleep project in the first place) so she'd be inclined to steer clear of magitech when picking her gear for the post-apocalyptic future she's supposed to wake up in.


As for who would wear articulated plate...someone looking for a lower fatigue value and attunement cost, probably.
 
I see most core artifact armors as templates for you to improve with custom artifacts, they are less shitty after the errata, but still not good enough to take on their own.
 
Mmm, I need to build a Noble warstrider for Rose when I get home. Complete with custom throwing disks.
 
Do background purchases operate differently for First Age Exalts, or is it just the normal way (4th and 5th dots cost double)?
 
It is not specified, but my assumption has been that we need to pay double for dots beyond what we can buy without using bonus points. Since we are Established Solars, we can buy up to 4 with our 30 bg points. Thus, only the 5th dot costs double. Or so I've assumed.
 
hmm... Could Anathema be wrong then? It's charging me double for the 4th dot as well. I've got the latest version, but now that you mention Solars and that 4th dot I have vague recollections of reading that somewhere... :/


EDIT: Found it, I think. DotFA says under Established Solars - Backgrounds:


"...No Background can be raised above 4 without spending bonus points."


However, it doesn't mention cost - does this mean that 4th dots in backgrounds cost double still? Or do they only cost 1 dot?
