[Nightmares of the Second Age] The Daily Scribe

Indolent Official Charm doesn't, though. It'd be quite useful in slowing Bronze bureaucratic measures to communicate about our presence and activities, along with organizing efforts in various Departments against us.


EDIT: Foul Air of Argument Technique doesn't require authority either.


EDIT2: Also, let those organizations (especially the Guild) spend loyalty to oppose your attempts to take it over. They'll burn through it long before Rose has gone through her Essence reserves.
 
BRM might take time for you to be able to use it properly, but IOC and FAoAT will allow you to use the field in their own game against them. Suddenly convenient audits slow down the personal endeavors of possible attackers, meaningless missions take their time away from plotting an assassination, while their recent actions come under investigation by suspicious motives, this all helps us to stay safe against the Bronze faction and give us time without openly acting against them, or gathering allies in direct manner they could see as a threat. The great strength of the Sidereals is their infrastructure in Heaven, this two charms hurt that thing precisely.
 
I have been approached by JayTee, asking if a friend of his on the site can join in our little party. His buddy, Teggetto, is writing up a Second Age Lunar with a few xp to try and keep him up to speed with the rest of the group. He's going to be one of the Gold Faction recruits that are on the way to Rathess. Once his character is up, he'll be joining in. Please help me to welcome him in to our game.
 
So, Teggetto, any questions or concerns about your character? I'm sure that everyone here will be willing to be a sounding board and will offer feedback as you need it.
 
Not at the moment, I'm mostly trying to build my character on my own first. I prefer to take the hands on approach, that way I can learn things about that group better. If I do have questions though I'll definitely ask.
 
Okay, well, that worked for all about five minutes. I do have a question.


For my character's background, I want to take 2 in Tattoo Artifact(this is just using the basics, haven't start with bonus points, etc), I plan to use it for armor. What would like....the best equivalent I could make it? and then for like listing it, do I just list it as if it were regular armor?


Hopefully that makes sense for what I'm looking for >>;
 
For two dots, you can get up to that level of artifact. So, you can have the effects of a reinforced breastplate (a 2 dot with the errata) as natural armor that won't interfere with any Charms that are incompatable with armor.
 
Doesn't it say somewhere that it can only be light armor? :(


Edit: Yes, in MoEP: Lunars, p 112. "Tattoo artifacts cannot reproduce medium or heavier armor."
 
Let me grab my book real quick. You are correct. It cannot replicate medium or heavy armor. So something like a chain shirt can be done as a 1 dot artifact, or hearthstone bracers. Stuff like that.
 
Recall that tattoo artifacts do not stack with anything, and you can get much better soak with, say, Armor-Forming Technique.
 
Ah...Scroll of Errata sez: "Tattooed armor can typically stack with any other worn armor, but does not count as armor for the purposes of Martial Arts."
 
That rule was not revisited when they introduced the general rule that "bonuses from equipment do not stack with one another."
 
*spreads hands* It says this in the same edition of the Errata that the "no stacking" rule is given.


Maybe it's a special property of moonsilver?
 
Yes, but most of the errata was not reconsidered in the light of the new changes (because that's a lot of thankless work). Laws are the same way, they are not cancelled, but new laws supersede them. Silken Armor used to have the same rule, but has been clarified (somewhere) to not stack with anything anymore.


It is, of course, an ST call.
 
Don't tell xarvh -- I've been having my tattoo armor in his game stack with my (mundane) armor, and he's always looking for an excuse to maim PCs. :D
