Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

I think the idea would be to go through character generation and try to achieve what the characters are right now. Of course because of all the extra stuff allowed/given in creation and some reduced costs, what will probably happen will be that we will all get a bunch more xp to spare.
 
So, where is the list of changes to chargen that we are going to be using? When do we start, and when do we need to have finished characters ready to go?

We can't answer these until the latest Errata edition comes out with the overhauled char gen rules.

Archivist just posted them. The latest Ink Monkeys post has them. The only thing unsure is the relationship between Virtues and Willpower, and that can easily be fixed in post (and was only added after a bunch of people threw hissyfits about how cheap Willpower 10 now was, anyway).


Work can be done whenever you feel like, I'd imagine.
 
Phew, just finished Chaos in Icehold, moving on to chapter 2 now. Good times. Home stretch.


So, is the plan to re-chargen and xp to better embody the current characters to the best of our ability just using the classic virtue willpower interaction until the later date when the new way is revealed? Just trying to be perfectly clear; y'know, using a terrible run-on sentence always makes things more clear.
 
I redid Asyk, and the new sheet is posted. I was able to raise my Willpower signifigantly (or it increased until the errata changes it), and add several more Charms that should prove usefull.
 
Calypso's upgraded. Nothing spectacular, mostly because I sank close to 100% of my xp into charms. Now, though, her Willpower is 10 and she has three new forms of Craft in her bag (Magitech, Vitriol, and Genesis).
 
Anoké's changes are mostly minor. 1 mote dot to Presence, 1 dot into Resistance, 1 more dot to Manipulation, 1 less dot into War. Integrity shoots up to 5.


Raised his Conviction and Valor to 5, like I wanted to originally do when I conceived him. Now he is the self-righteous prick who will punch someone in the face for challenging his worldview that I always wanted him to be. A motorcycle-riding proto-Desus.
 
As Tableface said, the chargen rules are listed in my last post and in the Ink Monkey post. I’m also added them to the houserules section of character creation rules here in a little bit.


Dragon Kings will in fact work under the same rules so that Asyk isn’t excluded from the love.


I expect you guys to keep your character more or less in line with what they have been. Basically we are working on the honor system here. We will use the current Virtue and Willpower interaction rules until there is a new errata on that issue.


I would also like to remark that I will probably be giving mass combat a try for the big battle now that I am more familiar with the combat rules in general. I plan on handing out another fist full of EXP for the current chapter before the big battle. So you guys will have the ability to buy up some War charms and whatnot for that. Also if you want to shift some things around for the come battle and with the new character regeneration I am fine with that. As long as the core concept remains the same.


My next post for the game will be up this Wednesday night. Tuesday spent a lot of time kicking me around.


Good background Momo. I found it entertaining. Oh, and 4 bonus EXP for that, and the bonus EXP for the character picture.
 
Does anyone know if the Ink Monkey dudes are going to release new character generation rules for all the Exalts, or is it just for the Solar/Abyssal/Infernals?
 
BTW, thanks for including Asyk in the chargen change.

They intend to.


'Intend' is different from 'will', given that they exist solely because Glories sold really well. All depends on if they're allowed to.
 
Glad you liked it Archie. Sheet will be finished sometime in the next 24 hours if I don't finish it in the next few. RL matters are beckoning.


From my understanding they have already worked out new chargen for Lunars and Sids, they just haven't been fully approved or posted.


Finally caught up with the story. Shits about to go down and I can't wait to be a part of it.


edit: @archivist What is the xp for the picture? I might be blind but I am missing it in the chargen post.
 
With our next xp block, I think Asyk might have to pick up Terrestrial Level Sorcery and expand our capabilities. I have always played that when you purchase the Charm you get a free spell with it. Does anyone have a problem with doing this here? And what level can I purchase up to? Is Celestial Circle my top end, just like Lunars and Sids?
 
Right, I've got Bjarn upgraded. He's picked up an extra Willpower, two experience points (banked for now) and two Charms- Tiger Warrior Training Technique and Final Sunset Stance from IM35.
 
Magnificentmomo: You will get 5 EXP for the picture. Looking forward to the character sheet.


Sherwood: I have ruled that you get a free spell when you purchase that charm. I really need to add that to the houserules section. Celestial Circle sorcery will be the Dragon Kings limit to sorcery. Given the final circle seems to be the sole domain of the Solars and their equivalents.


Typing away at the next subchapter and a couple other things.
 
I'm conflicted pointing this out because I do not want to reduce the level of fun in the game, but Dragon Kings are weaker than Terrestrial Exalts; them having access to a higher level of sorcery makes no sense, setting-wise.


However, this is Exalted, and sense can always be bitch-slapped by rule of cool. I've no objection to Asyk having Celestial Circle Sorcery, as long as it's not ALL Dragon Kings that have access to it.


We could make it a pretty cool plot point for Asyk, if you're interested in some method of justifying it, Sherwood.

I was pointing out the fact those are a sample of errata rules without knowing how much more there might be when actual errata comes out.


If we are just using these as is right now, Fine.


I was just trying to point out they said these are not all the rules about revised character Generation and might actually include other factors that have been changed. But we can cross that bridge when we get to it. Not like another rework when full rules finally come out would be too difficult.


Working on sheet update now, And certainly can no longer use Anathema. xD
 
Archivist.


I keep looking at my sheet wondering WHY I took 3rd Integrity and Second Resistance Excellency.


Do you mind terribly if I traded those two around since that would make more sense.


We are doing slight reworks with the new character creation rules, figured this is right time to check that out.


If not that's fine, It just seemed like I got those two mixed up when first writing up.
 
We will just have to wait and see how the new errata changes things as we get to it.


Considering we are reworking characters anyways, you can go ahead and switch out thost charms.
 
Still haven't finished going over my character.


These new creation rules are making my inner accountant cry whenever I try to replicate my current character.


Will work on getting it finished and then replying to your post Archivist.
 
Okay Everybody.
