Don't forget that as a Dragonblood you usually have some visibly supernatural elements to your appearance. For Wood Aspects a classic is having flowers or plants growing in your hair or a green tinge or bark-like texture to parts of your skin. It's up to you, but if you aren't going out of your way to hide it, most people can tell you're more than mortal.
Oh! Yes, yes. I forgot this. I'll make an edit to my post. I really need to improve Sayuri's character sheet.
Lol I mean, it might've gone well if it weren't for the timing.Oh no! Definitely not the foot I expected our meeting to start off on, haha I was laughing pretty good reading this part! I pictured Conrad kind of smooth talking his way in, but by showing connection to Sabah he has unknowingly tied himself to her morning shenanigans!Not exactly endearing himself to Sayuri, lol!
You know, my cat does the same damn thing when he gets yelled at.
Don't stress yourself! We'll be here
I need to get to writing my own reply.
Bad guys? Hmmm...
Come to the dark side!Bad guys? Hmmm...
I'll have to check it out.
I've been playing Exalted way back in the first edition and I still don't know everything about the game. Just relax and have fun with it.
I do find myself really enjoying Exalted. I just get very insecure with the math and that stuff.
Like my buddy Sherwood likes to say, let me worry about the math and details, and you just enjoy the roleplaying!
Random Word
How's it going? Sjet and Garret want to go to the Manse, but I figure if Conrad tells Sayuri about the beach encampment she might summon them over and they might change their minds, or you might all decide to go fix the Manse as the priority.
I'm alive. Working on typing up a post as we speak. I'm assuming Conrad's persuasion roll succeeded? Though I feel Sayuri would've agreed, though hesitantly as Conrad is still a stranger to her.
I think so. So, how do I know what my Resolve is? Is that Constitution?Persuasion is a complicated thing in Exalted!
First you must decide if Conrad has successfully leveraged an Intimacy of Sayuri's strong enough to compel her to take up the task. Then, if he has, you compare his roll to her Resolve. You reduce your Resolve by -1 if he leveraged a minor intimacy, -2 if Major, and -3 if defining. You can choose to leverage an Intimacy to oppose (like a mistrust of strangers, or foreigners) to boost your Resolve. +2 for minor up to +4 for Defining. Then you can stunt your Resolve, spend essence on any Resolve boosting Charms, and even spend a Willpower to boost your Resolve one point.
After all that, if his roll still exceeds your Resolve, you enter a Decision Point. You can still reject his persuade if you can cite an Intimacy as strong or stronger than the one he leveraged, and that you haven't yet used to defend yourself, and pay one Willpower.
If you don't do that, Sayuri accepts the persuade.
Got all that?
