Nightmares of the Third Age

[Goddamnbatman]

[QUOTE="Seeker of the End]If we did make DT's are we allowed to start with our own custom charms provided we actually buy them? Like say, we buy our own excellencies and custom charms at character creation.

[/QUOTE]
Yeah or you could have cannibalize one of your trees if you want, which essentially means the same thing.

 

[Sherwood]

When taking a Sorcery/Necromancy Charm, do we get a spell of that level for free, or do we have to pay for it?

 

[Goddamnbatman]

Pay for it.

 

[Sherwood]

Gotcha.

 

[Seeker of the End]

What are the martial arts rules in this? Is violet bier good at character creation?

 

[Goddamnbatman]

Martial Arts rules:


-You can learn other CMA , but other splat specifics CMA, I would recommend to give a decent explanation or have a mentor/sifu who taught you the martial arts in question.


-SMA very limited, the one from the maiden book is okay. Other SMA please consult me first.

 

[Goddamnbatman]

Oh almost forgot Ink Monkeys charms are approved by default. Well the ones in the Ink Monkey Ultimate Collection.

 

[Goddamnbatman]

The Solar Sail charms are good to go.

 

[JayTee]

Awesome, thanks!

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Debating a Slayer Devil Tiger, but if it happens the Charms will most assuredly be custom. I'm not sure if I can invest the time necessary to make it work, so I'll mull over the concept and get back to you.

 

[JayTee]

Hm, need some help spending all my bonus points and background dots. Beyond basic artifact weaponry and a 5 dot artifact ship, I'm not sure what else to get.

 

[Goddamnbatman]

Background dots should be used also to get some social benefits, it always help.As a solar especially you want some social benefits to be able to fill up Immanent Solar Glory while you take care of a society/group of people.


As for the artifacts, you can have bunch of them and you don't need to attune to all of them. Of course, if you go the route of having a lot of artifacts be sure to buy a lot of immanent solar glory to keep up with the motes cost.

 

[JayTee]

Yeah, that's apart of the plan, but 30 background dots is a lot to spend.

 

[Sherwood]

I'm starting out with the complete CMA of Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style. I've always liked that technique.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Would you allow trading unused background dots for BP?

 

[Goddamnbatman]

Nope. You can use the background dots on so many various things...I mean Savant, First Age, Familiar, Allies, Backing, A Bunch of Manse to get more hearthstones work well if have many artifacts with heartstones slots, influence etc...

 

[Seeker of the End]

Do Yozi excellencies take up more than one charm slot? Also ate you doing the (free excellency per matching charm) house rule?

 

[Goddamnbatman]

Yeah Yozi excellencies take up more than one charm slot but well it's usually not a problem with that many charms and bonus points. Not using the free excellency house rule.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Just curious - why are Lunars and Sidereals receiving twice as many Charms as Solaroids?

 

[Teggetto]

Hm, I'd definitely be interested in this myself, finally get to make myself a dawn caste that can blow things up with a sword!


But yeah, if there's still room, mind me joinin' up?

[/QUOTE]
Yeah, this struck me as odd as well. I know Solar charms tend to be stronger, but that seems like a really lopsided balance.

 

[Myllinnia]

First Yozi Excellency is at E5 (5 purchases... so yes 5 slots?)

Yes.

Yeah, it is. It could be that he plans for Solars to progress quickly (and perhaps they do with the BP in place of XP system), but even then - twice as many? I'm actually contemplating a Sid out of having to do less work than the DT, even though it would be cool to build my own Charmset as I go.

 

[Myllinnia]

Also! What is the BP cost for Heretical Charm? Oo

 

[Sherwood]

I have a couple of different pics for my DBT that I'm debating over:

Or, this one:

Any suggestions?
