[OOC] For rules questions, general questions and raves [To the Hunt!, Wyld that is...]

I'm looking at the Blessed Isle book page 90. Do we all need to buy at least Backing[Wyld Hunt] 1 or better, or will we be granted a free point in this background?

We could all share that background, you know.
 
I'm not sure that's technically allowed, lol. I'm getting Backing 2-3 (or at least attempting to do so).
 
No more than Backing 3, guess I should have seen that, but it still means you guys can share that, but it's only gonna be a saving if you share another Background amongst all of you, say Arsenal 1, or Command 1, and it will only cost you guys 3 Background points each, which will net you 125 soldiers.
 
Okay, I'll make sure not to go over that. I'm vying for Hwan to be an Amercer, or possibly a Venerer (if I can manage to nab the stats).


I asked this earlier, here it is again in case you missed it >_>:

Hey SRC, how are you handling Immaculate Monk character gen, in specific regards to Charms? The MoEP: DBs makes no mention towards whether or not the Enlightenment Charms required to take CMA are counted as part of the 5 Immaculate MA Charms you start with. Some people say they do, some people say they don't. My only concern is that if they don't, considering my character's lack of dice adders (no Excellencies because of the Charm choice requirements) he will be quite far behind everyone else before XP (and probably after, considering how CMA Charms cost more than normal DB Charms >_>).

Yay repeat questions.

Glowing Coal Radiance.
I'm wondering if you're going with this charm as Reflexive?


Also, how does one resist this charm in your games?

I'll go with it as Reflexsive, though I'd have it give hald your Presence as the penalty. Seems too strong otherwise.

If you start as an Immaculate monk you get the 2 enlightment charms for free.
 
Query, is it possible to have the cost of essence lowered in terms of bonus points? I mean, getting essence 3 just for sorcerery is a tad expensive. ^_^ ;;;
 
Terrestials are rarely sorcerers precisely because of that. But I am certainly considering, in addition to giving you XP, to let you all start at Essence 3.


A note regarding Sorcery. Anyone who takes Sorcery needs to discuss it with me. There is a cost attached to learning Sorcery, and we need to decide that beforehand.


I had a character, a Solar, who, in order to learn Sorcery lost a dot of Appearance. reducing her from Appearance 3 to 2. And that was only Terrestial circle.

Um... Tikor? Lunar Mentor/Moonsilver? Wtf? :?
Click to expand...
That will all get hammered out shortly. It's just a holder to remind myself all the things I should figure out.


Don't take the actual stats on that sheet seriously at this point.
Click to expand...
I have filled out v1 of the Character sheet. Have a look.
 
You still have the Lunar mentor listed. :P


But Strength 1? Heh...


Still interested in Shared Backgrounds between the two of us?
 
Starting with essence 3 would be fairly awesome. I'd probably actually start with a dragon style instead of regular charms in that case...
 
Note, that if I do let you have Essence 3, it will have no bearing on your initial Charms. those are still limited to Essence 2. it just eans that all of you have already gotten your Essence to 3, before you were gathered to your first assignment as a group for the Wyld Hunt.
 
Well, hopefully it can and will have bearing on my initial Charms *hint*hint*. That is, unless you don't mind Hwan running around with Essence 4 or 5. ;)


BTW, I'm pushing for Hwan to have participated in a few Wyld Hunts already (he'll have a Backing of 2 with the group).
 
Yeah, if it doesn't have a bearing on my initial charms that rules out immaculate martial arts entirely. The enlightening charms require essence 3, so...
 
Ok, didn't notice that. Well, in that case, those who play Immaculate Monks, and anyone else who wants to buy Essence 3 with his BP will receive more initial XP if I give it out.


I'll decide whether to give the Essence 3, and how much XP I give you after all the characters have been built.


Also, if you do use a Shared Background, note on your character sheet that it is shared, and with whom.
 
Regular DB charms it is then.


Even with a chunk of XP coming, those 10bp off the top makes it awfully hard to get everything else I want. The whole agent of the All-Seeing Eye thing I'm going for is gonna take a good chunk of background points...
 
Heh, you're telling me. I've got a sizable amount of background dots committed to Backing, Connections, Command, etc, enough where I used up all of the dots before BP without grabbing Artifacts or Manses. >_<
 
Yeah, I'm kinda having trouble deciding if I want Manse or Breeding.


Connections can get expensive when you want them in more than one area...
