[OOC] The Wall [Clashing Waves]

Looking at how the points fall, it looks like I'm ending up with a Scout class Warstrider (I want the high maneuverability) with the Flight package (special effect of an Eagle morph) with just enough left over for a Daiklave. In order to add on mundane weapons, does that count against the cost of the armor? If not, I'd like a Bolt Launcher for ranged attacks, and a Fighting Gauntlet built into the hand.
 
You realize that Scout and Common Warstriders can't have the Flight package without having to have an extra Hearthstone of equal level to the Flight system to power it (so, for a Scout Warstrider with a Flight System you'd need a level 3 Hearthstone for powering the Warstrider, as well as a Level 3 Hearthstone for powering the Flight System).


As for mundane weapons, they cost Resource dots normally. Since our characters are starting out, I'd assume Tome would let you have a few mundane things here and there that came with the Warstrider at no extra cost. However, we probably should ask him just to make sure :P .
 
Crap! I missed that! I gotta go with the Noble, and drop the Daiklave. Unless I can tweak another background point...


I'll edit my character.
 
Hey, remember that Warstriders are mobile in general (you multiply all movement rates by a factor of 10), but I getcha. Yea, you should drop the Daiklave. I would assume that we might get our fair share of loot later on, so there's always the possibility of getting one through whatever we find. And of course Theran can always make you one later one if need be :P .
 
:shock: :D


I tweaked my character to have the Daiklave for the armor starting out.


Hey, Tome, do we get an allowance for mundane weapons starting out for our WS?
 
Yeah, Lane, I think you're the only one.


Sherwood, you may want to explain on your character sheet what the individual dots for your Warstrider mean. Actually, a description of your Warstrider wouldn't be a bad idea, either. Haku's character sheet is a great example of this.


EDIT: That's more like it Sherwood :P . You know you have an extra dot available for ancillary systems or warstrider weapons, right?
 
Bah... :(


I'd just like to know how most of you buy spare parts for the WS with no resource rating!


BTW, how are you doing backgrounds IG Tome? Will we have to pay for them with xp or just get them for free or what?
 
Tome gave us bonus dots/discounts for certain things.

Tome said:
Four dots for weapons and ancilliary systems and weapons.
Two dot discount on the warstrider itself.


Two dot discount on a Hearthstone to power the warstrider.


That's the discounts. You can also ask for any special modification you want and I'll assign it a cost.

Here's an example of how all of this works out:


You want a Noble Warstrider. They are normally 4 dots (Artifact 4), but since you get a 2 dot discount, you only have to use 2 background dots. You need a level 3 Hearthstone (Manse 3 for normal folk) to power the Warstrider. Normally that is 3 dots, but with the listed discount you only have to use 1. For any Warstrider weapons (Daiklaves, Essence cannons, etc) and/or ancillary systems (Flight, Cloaking, Underwater travel, etc), you have 4 free dots to use. So you could get a level 3 Flight System and a Smashfist, or a pair of Daiklaves, etc.
 
Yeah, I understand that. I meant afford to repair it as in the cash needed to buy the items from a guild merchant in order to replace the steel screws or whatever actual spare parts are needed.


Unless I'm wrong items with repair requre money.
 
I'm not worried about it too much. Either we'll come across them in some way, or we will figure out another way to acquire them. Acquiring the Resources needed to purchase them will probably not happen, as I doubt there are many individuals or groups in the West who have enough 1st Age technology to sell it, let alone stuff for Warstriders.

Hmm. I spent my 2 pts for my WS, and three for the Flight System. From this, I still have 4 dots to use on weapons or ancillary systems, and two dots of Hearthstones to put down.
 
You DO realize that the flight system counts as an ancillary system, right? ^_^ ;


So you could lower the cost there. As for hearthstones, given that you need a 3 dot hearthstone, by default, you kind of need a level 1 hearthstone, no matter what... ^_^
 
Haku is right on with the Flight System. While you could use normal Background dots or Bonus Points for it, remember that those 4 free dots can be used on it as well.


As for a Hearthstone, yea, you're going to need to spend 1 Background dot to get Manse 3, at the minimum. You've spent two, so you could get a level 4 Hearthstone (which you wouldn't be able to use while it was powering your Warstrider) or a level 3 Hearthstone (powers your Warstrider) and a level 1 Hearthstone (do whatever you want with).


***Edit**** (to avoid double postage)


Here are some interesting alternate rules for Warstriders that you may or may not find useful/applicable to our game, Tome. Oh, and everyone else too :P .

The Haku used to be a forum-go there. Once.


The world has moved on since that time.
 
I see, a run in with the man I take it? >.>


I found that link through Google searching stuff about Exalted Warstriders, I don't frequent the website myself. But it has its uses, and exploit them I shall.
 
No...


Not quite... it just didn't work out, me and that forum... so I simply... quit going there.


Mayhaps, I'll return a year and a day after I last signed in.
 
As soon as he posts his character, or we get someone else to add some numbers to your group, we'll start.
