Welcome welcome!


Start posting your character sheets in the Worst of the Best sub-forum.


A few notes:


*) Add a few Intimacies, we're going to have social combat, so they will be important.


Put a + in front of positive intimacies and a - in front of negative ones.


*) Add a description of the appearance of your character. Just a few lines or an image or a Gaia avatar.


*) Reply to yourself to add a post with all the temporary polls (WP, Essence, Channels) Health Levels, and all the derived stats: DVs, attacks, soak etc etc.


*) Add manual and page for all your charms and artefacts.


*) Polish. =)
 
@Aurethius:


Numbers do not compute for Abilities or Attributes.


Remember that the required abilities for a Dynast do count towards the 35 initial dots.


You still have to assign 3 dots of background.


@Lochar:


You used 6BPs rather than 5 for your abilities (you set lore 5)


You are allowed to use XPs to raise Essence rather than BPs, and use BOs instead for the abilities.


If you do so you can keep your current configuration and still have available a fuckload of BPs, that you may want to use to get rid of your Dark Secret (we'll assume that you have your ass covered very well); if you eliminate it completely AND add another dot on your Immaculate Order Connections, you will be officially sanctioned to research Necromancy on behalf of the Immaculate Order.


Remove the part in the background about your Abyssal master.
 
That's what I get for copy/paste. Fixed the Abyssal thing.


The problem with buying Essence 3 with XP is the fact that I took Shadowlands Circle Necromancy with my beginning charms. You have to have Essence 3 for that unless you're willing to make an exception?
 
Would have posted earlier but the season premiere of Lost was on tonight...


Added everything you asked for. Please tell me if there is anything else you need.
 
@Lochar: I hereby allow you guys to use XPs at any point of chargen.


@Amethyst, awesome, checking now.


No haste, we're still missing the Fifth.

Leiji was groomed from an early age for a career in the Imperial Navy. Once she Exalted in the midst of her teenage years, however, she was subsequently groomed to be a commander in the Imperial Navy.

Reread your text! =P


I'm ok with the numbers.


I'd like to make you notice that if you buy your 4th dots and specialities of the fav abilities with BPs, and buy Ox-Body Technique with XPs instead, you will spare 4XP and 4 BPs.


However, up to you, I'm ok with your char.


BTW, awesome avatar!
 
Karregan is ok, but feel free to bash him for the English, I'm not mother language either so my corrections may be not entirely correct after all.


Amethyst, I may edit your charsheet to remove some bloat.


Aurtehius, let me know when you're done reworking your char.


Also, we may want to color-code the languages, something like:


OODDDD Skytongue


008000 Forest tongue


00FF00 Rivertongue


FF0000 Flametongue


0000FF Watertongue


BF8000 Low Realm


FF00FF High Realm


FFFF00 Old Realm


Otherwise, if you just want a personal color for the speech of your PC, we can decide so.
 
Looks fine to me.


I think you may have not assigned one of your 35 ability points.


Surmin now is an officially sanctioned Inquirer of Demonic Arts, complete with a mandate sealed by the High Abbot of the Palace Sublime.

This was intentional. I was trying to say, "She was always going to be in the Imperial Navy, but once she Exalted, her House prepared her to be a LEADER in the Navy." I know some officers in the Imperial Navy are heroic mortals and all, but aren't most of the high-ranking commanders Dynasts?

I'm ok with the numbers.

I have some stuff today but if I have the spare time I will try and redo the distribution and have you you re-check it. Thanks for the advice, though.

BTW, awesome avatar!

Thanks!


And feel free to trim the fat from my char sheet. I just copied and pasted the one in the Resources section of Pattern Spider.

You have a point, and now I have 35. Athletics up to 2 now.
 
Aurellian is cut out from the net.


However, Earth aspect or not, I'll post the scenes 24h from this post.


In the meanwhile, see if you guys can add at least three intimacies to your chars, they are going to be important in the social combat.


Amethyst, your Command backgrounds entitles you to your ship and some 50 men, that count both as crew and soldiers.


Their stats are of the Elite Soldier of the Core, with Sail 2 rather than Ride 2.


They are very loyal to you.


If you would prefer a different setup, let me know.


Your ship is currently in Eagle's Launch for repairs, and you will be travelling from the Imperial city straight there.


Also, could you briefly specify the nature of your Retainers?


Amethyst and Karregan, both of your characters graduated from the House of Bells, so it is likely that they know each other already, at least to some extent.
 
Yeah, fuck it, let's just play.


One thread happens just after the ceremony.


The other well after, during the travel towards Eagle's Launch.
 
What kind of dice roller do you want us to use? I used nox by default, but I'm good with whatever.


I'd like to assist Najalin with her Rally attempt. How can I do this by the rules xarvh? As a Hero, or a Relay? Or can I make a roll to give a boost to hers?
 
As a relay, you can substitute your Charisma+War/Performance (current difficulty 1) in place of hers.


As an hero, you can aid each other so that the one with the best poll gets a +1.


In either case, it is a Speed 4, DV -1 action for the unit.


Let's use Feacia's Nox dice roller: http://feacia.com/diceRoller/index.php?lang=eng
 
Unless it's a surprise attack or a Charm, there shouldn't be anything that negates DV completely, unless your disallowing stunts to try to regain some of it.
 
There is some mention in the core of a character attacked from all directions cannot defend effectively.


Indeed I may have to remove a couple of HLs from our poor Cathak.
 
I should have said before... I am going to do my best to post as much as I can, but it'll have to be in the late afternoon/evening Central Standard Time. I'll try and check the game twice, once when I get home from work and again later on after dinner. Weekends are sometimes bad for me (like tonight) because I go out with my friends, have a few drinks, don't come back until late. It doesn't look like I missed that much in the Combat thread, since I already took Rally as an action.


Speaking of which, I assume Leiji is the only one doing Mass Combat, since she's the one with her own unit?


By the way, I'm fine with the default action, which is the unit moving into skirmish formation.
 
Aurethius is part of it as well, acting as a Sorcerer I suppose. His War is puny since he never spent much time on the front lines, but for the purposes of Rally (for which you can substitute Performance for War), he can still be useful to Leiji. Not sure if he can take his own Rally actions separate from Leiji, as she is the acting commander, but who knows. Maybe he's a Relay instead.


In any case, he's sticking with the formation, and staying close to Leiji.
 
I posted the rally action for amethyst only 'cause she had already declared it and I wanted to speed things up.


Given that you are surrounded by falling explosives, any other formation but skirmish would be suicidal.


Going out with friends is always better than playing Exalted, if we average a couple of post per day among the five of us, it's already fat.
 
Aurethius, the combat thread is waiting for you.


(Guard action has Speed 3)
 
Ah, crap I meant a Wait action, where I do nothing. Leiji didn't need me to support her action, so Aurethius is just waiting for an opportunity to do something. His War sucks, and he's staying with the Unit, so he's not taking any actions until the unit moves into range of the enemy archers.


In a sense, he is being 'worn' by Leiji just like the rest of the unit, following her lead.
