[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

[QUOTE="Seeker of the End]If you can afford 9 background dots, I have a combination that will absolutely break the game. ;)

[/QUOTE]
This is relevant to my interests.


...purely as a theoretical exercise, of of course >.>
 
I'm definitely interested in the shellcaster, but I don't have Exalted modern. What are the stats for it?


@Seeker of the End: goodness gracious. I'll second JayTee's interest in a theoretical exercise, even as I await the GM ban on it.
 
Shellcaster, basically an artifact handgun. Note that the damage does not go up with strength.


SHELLCASTER (ARTIFACT ••)


Most deserving of the moniker “hand cannon”, the standard shellcaster is an artifact heavy pistol. The smallest of them are slightly bigger than the largest mundane pistol, while the greatest are as big as a man’s thigh. Being their most visible part, the end of a shellcaster’s barrel is often highly stylized, usually in the form of a dragon’s maw or sunburst. There is a spot on the grip for mounting a hearthstone. Shellcasters are loaded with magazines.


Speed 5, Accuracy +1, Damage 8L/2, Rate 3, Range 50, Ammo 15, Minimums Str 2, Attune 5 Cost 2/-, Tags O
 
Dude if you're using the Crimson Bow, that thing is already broken to hell and back. No need to go any further.

Thanks! That's great. :)


I may drop an extra point into it to up some stats, but I might be wise to put that extra point towards better armor. *sigh*
 
Do you have Leige? That might be helpful to get hold of some gear 'on loan' from your Deathlord...

Still waiting on ideas for how to get Morrigwain more involved. I'm drawing a blank :\


Also: If you were at least Strength 3, I might offer up my Exalted!Boltguns, or Supreme Essence Gatling.
 
As I've read the Background, you essentially request other Backgrounds upto the value of the Liege rating and the ST decides if it's justified and has every right to withdraw the Backgrounds at any time for any reason: "Kindly return that Hearthstone, another Abyssal has pleased me more..."

Also I would say that the Crimson Bow is a decent power bow but not overpowered for the rating or attune.

In 2.5, perfect defenses cost a minimum of 8m. For an attunement of 8m and 4 background dots (3 and 2bp, really) you can either ignore an entire layer of defense for no additional cost or force your enemy to spend 8m to negate your 0m per attack. The Crimson Bow wasn't all that bad before 2.5, since you were going to be perfecting ANYWAY, but after the errata it just sort of cracks the entire thing open. The other problem with the bow is that it is too strong for a 4-dot artifact (and probably for a 5-dot) but isn't all that interesting. A bow that never misses is an interesting legend, but isn't the sort of region- or world-shaking discovery that the Daiklave of Conquest or a sentient Noble Warstrider is. I can't imagine wars being fought over it, or legends being written about the bow rather than the wielder. Overall, the Crimson Bow is just a mess, thematically and mechanically.
 
Hi Midboss!


(Darn it I'm hungry. I spent all post thinking about Taiwanese pastries.)

Edit: Was a camaraderie with Hunger already established? Might Morrigwain have any reason to continue following her? (If not, maybe ask the STs if it's okay to pop into another group in CHapter 2?)
 
What? You mean,

Okay - whew. That was a lot to post. Please see if that looks good!


Testing that blasted posting color.


EDIT: Let's try a different color.


EDIT2: I bet you're sick of these color tests, too!

Green sure is a popular color

But not yet taken for the Abyssals.


Showoff.


At least I might be learning? Learning not to use the html code and use the font color button instead. One of these is far easier.
