Nightmares of the Third Age

background dots and I don't even know my backstory yet, I'm horrible with those as well x.x
And those are a lot backgrounds, okay, I'll work out what would fit with my character then. Go from there and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the help!


Although question, for the familiar thing, is that +2 BP meant to mean familiar 7 or? I haven't played much Exalted so excuse my newbness u.u

Okay, then you probably should put a halt on chargen until you get some idea of who your character actually is, where he's come from, and what he stands for. Sure, you could spend all of your background points on Artifacts and Hearthstones, but hopefully you see the same issue with that that I do. It's going to be very hard for you to pick out Allies, Connections, etc without at least a few things on paper as to what defines your character as a being in Creation. I'm sure Jaytee can help you with that, and if you want a few ideas either myself or anyone else in this thread would probably be glad to assist you.
 
Oh, I know who my character is and what he stands for, it's just the where he comes from that I have difficulty with.
 
You think that the ST won't mind if I leave slots for my custom DT charms open for when I develop them? They're still in the works and I'll add them in game when I'm done. Or will he let me canibalize them in game?

My suggestion? Start small. Do you know how he exalted?

No idea. You have anywhere from a week to two, though - that should be plenty of time to develop, say, 5-8 DT Charms - especially when you consider the fact that you need to spend 6 Charm purchases alone on your Excellency. There are plenty of other Yozi Charms you can pick up in the meantime. Your character is Malfeas/Adorjan, right?
 
Currently thinking former Scourge favoring Malfeas. I'm definitely using the revamped DV refresher that you fixed. I'll make post some other charms after finals.


Edit: Slayer favored Adorjan works too.
 
I just listed the two Yozis, not the Caste. Not that it matters, since I imagine you're lucky to use your own Caste for Xentair, but I think Scourge favoring Malfeas is more preferable so we can lessen the Dawn bloat we're currently accumulating. >_>
 
[QUOTE="Seeker of the End]Also would using a shield inhibit my Violet Bier of Sorrows MA?

[/QUOTE]
Wait... How are you justifying starting with VBoS?
 
Since it isn't a form weapon, would it disallow me from using VB while I have it or would I simply not be able to use any charms directly with the shield?


Also, TEIN's solar thread needs you. The sooner you post, the sooner we can end the scene.


Edit: MaHaSuchi's700. The Libraries of Orablis, you're better off asking what can you NOT find in there. The list will be shorter. :P

This is something better determined by the ST, as it could go either way. Arguably, you shouldn't be able to use it at all since the weight of the shield in one handle would alter the sense of balance you would normally experience if it weren't present.

Smells like bull dooky to me, but it works by canon. I guess a more important question would be - why? CMA is weaker than native Infernal Charms.
 
It's one of the only sword-based MAs and I can't really find solid attack charms other than GSNB in the charm trees. What would you suggest?
 
Green Sun Nimbus Flare. Every. Time. That tree has a ridiculous amount of options for an attack Charm suite.


From Adorjan:


Thousandfold Typhoon Hand


Self As Cyclone Stance
 
Green Sun Nimbus Flare is amazing. You could go in any and every direction of that tree.


Adorjan has Self As Cyclone Stance and Thousandfold Typhoon Hand.

Mind Hand Manipulation is buckets of fun.

Yeah, but he favors Adorjan and Malfeas. A third Yozi for Charms is generally not the best idea, but if he went that direction the options open up even further. SWLIHN, Kimberry, and Cecelyne offer plenty of options.


EDIT: Also, with MA 6, E6, you can add Swords to the Favored weapons of Infernal Monster Style through Master's Hand Envisioned Anew, which is ridiculously good considering the Infernal-only expansion Charms you have available.
