You're born into it, but there is a graft weirdly missing from my list.
The Divinity Emulation Orb allows you to emulate a Pattern at Logos 2.
Don't ask how they're made.

It's on the list, I just wanted to know if there was any way to get past the limits of Logos 2 an/or the always-on fail rate. Necromancy at third coil or higher would let you accompany fleshcrafting with soulcrafting and create ever more perfect beings. At the very least, it would let you preserve tissue for longer while it's detached.

Do we get any bonuses for selecting attributes, statwise?
Grey
Dialectical Hermeticist
I am not sure I follow - do you mean free points that adjust the XP bands?
Savaan used to start at 2 in Physicals and treat rank 3 as 2, but I think in the current version of the game they're powerful enough without that.

Oh! No, I meant the three skills that we pick from each category (mental, social, physical). I don't remember if that was just a flavor thing or if there's anything additional we add to those three skills number wise.
Grey

Oh for Advantages?
Yeah, the Skills tied to an Advantage gain +1 die when used in the context governed by the Advantage, with the exception of Training if you choose a martial art because those techniques are more powerful and versatile than a flat die bonus.

Also Spiderheart, I cannot express how much I love Rahu's desire to recreate the Platonic mouse.

Submitted my character. Not completely sure I got all the numbers right; let me know if there's anything I should change!
Also, what would the Savaan consider blasphemy?

Bringing light into the inner temple. Offering any devotion to other gods or godlike entities (a measure of respect to those which are not hostile to Vasnok is fine, as if they were foreign dignitaries). Anything that could harm the cult or looks like disloyalty to the struggle. Wilfully harming Ker Viteur, which can include imparting knowledge to them which would be considered dangerous (like teaching them to fight). Defiance of the devas or openly doubting their wisdom. Intentionally destroying or abandoning your living armour.

Sure
May rework some of my numbers as I thought we had a limitation of 4 on Attributes and Skills.
How do we choose Gifts? Did I miss a post?

I think so, the OOC has been busy.
Pick three, subject to light vetting.
I also accept suggestions for more Gifts.

I asked myself, "How best to venerate a Goddess who loves living things via fleshcrafting?" And "making those things more like themselves" seemed like a good start.

Also, I believe I've chosen the best set of languages for accessing a wide array of literature and also talking my way out of fights, but you know the setting better. You specify fluency as an additional cost, but does having high Language automatically move you from "barely functional" to "conversant?"
Grey
Dialectical Hermeticist
Kromsian is free.
It'd be really expensive XP wise to have all of those, I think, but I haven't looked at the language rules in a while and they might honestly be bloated.
For now assume you're conversant with what you have.

Yeah, I have 3 points so I have 3 languages plus Kromsian. So I took H'Kaeri, and the fancy versions of Kelene and Laman.
Grey
Dialectical Hermeticist
Ah yeah, so Languages work like Foci from the start.
So you have 1 Rank in each of those three languages, which is functional but not really conversant.
I'm willing to let you have Rank 2 in all three because balance is a myth and it suits the character concept without breaking any established logic.

Oh,
dr xenon
you get the Awakened Titan stance and the first three techniques thanks to your Skill ranks.
For reference; you get the Stance for your style automatically, and techniques are based on the two lowest linked Skills.
So for example Unarmed 4, Defend 3, Athletics 3 would mean someone got Stance and two techs.
In your case, once you hit 5 in Unarmed, Defend, and Atheletics you learn the ultimate tech for Awakened Titan.
Flickering Shadow keys off Unarmed (Claws), Defend (Evasion), and Athletics (Any).
Laughing Blade keys off Melee (Khopesh), Defend (Parry), and Athletics (Any).
Loving Master keys off Melee (Whip). Defend (Evasion), and Athletics (Any)

Thanks! If all this stuff makes sense to WoD players then I apologize for my slow uptake. I haven't played in that system since first edition VtM and WtA. It's starting to click now.
Grey

This system was heavily based on WoD back when I started on it in like 2009 but despite some similarities that can make it comfortable for people who know their WoD it works fairly differently now.
You'll pick it up - I'll actually put the quick rule ref in the special rules thread
dr xenon
Sure
So Awakened Titan keys off Unarmed, Defend & Ahtletics? If I change my stats to be 5, 4 and 4 respectively then I would get Stance and 3 techs?
Grey
Dialectical Hermeticist
They were all 4 last time I checked so that's... yep, Stance and three techs

Thanks for the free language dots!

I'm reworking my character a bit. My original thought was a sword swinging guard but the Awakened Titan system appealed to me more. Then I was thinking about what he'd look like I was looking through images from Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and somehow got to Antje True's Kryptonian in Superman: Man of Steel. I've been a fan of hers since Pandorum and she's such a hard case in MoS that I think I've gotten hooked on the concept of a hard-bitten, prophecy reading, cold blue-eyed, killing machine . Also, knowing that we can go above 4 in skills it made me rethink my spend. I tend to spread out points to be a jack-of-all-trades. Now I'm just trying to focus on being the best darn Titan I can be.
