[The End is Nigh] Abstract Thought

[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]XP thread is up.

Thankies! (Do we still need to bear in mind the usual training times?)
 
Correct, you can spend it/use it how you see fit inbetween each chapter unless stated other wise.
 
1) If we get a Charm, do we get the associated Excellency?


2) If we get Sorcery, we we also get a spell?


I think those are the two unanswered questions so far. If they got answered, I missed them.
 
My chosen of battle , Starfall Shower is ready and approved. This should be interesting, curious with my divine observatory feature of my manse, would it be possible that I witnessed some of the events occurring? Divine Observatory has a direct view to the loom and the pattern spiders.

I think your attention would have been piqued when your Observatory suddenly reported: "404 Error - Loom Not Found. Please Reinstall Creation and Restart."

Well Sidereals wouldn't like running Linux, so not enough profit in that.


By the way, do anyone know if Summon the loyal bow works on implosion bows and lightening ballistas too? If so, then i have the best idea for a character concept.

The Charm says:


This Charm can banish only objects (including artifacts) deliberately


created as ranged weapons.


RAW, this says yes. I've not found anything that defines the maximum size of weapons.


Captain Hesperus
 
See, now i HAVE to make a character that insta-summon siege weaponry in some game somehow. Best character if i stunt it well enough.


I just realised... It will be possible for me to backstab people with a ballista!

I'd say something about that, but about three to four more charms into Infernal Monster, and my character is the siege weapon.And one with a longer range than a ballista, for that matter.


20 mile range, 110 yard aoe, and the clincher? Doesn't matter what the ammo is. It could be people. Not saying it has to be people. But it could be. It also could just be a rock. Or an obol.


Now that makes me wish the infernals could lay siege to Nexus. The irony of bombarding them with silver coin. One coin at a time. >.> Alternately, using a single silver coin to decimate a mercenary company whose upkeep runs in the hundreds or thousands. "See? That is putting your money to efficient use."
 
So. I was reading over a few things in the errata, and I was reminded of something: the errata utterly gutted Malfeas' Mythos Exultant. Is there any way we can get some sort of houserule on that charm that renders it anything other than totally useless for anyone who didn't spend all their backgrounds on a Hellstrider? Especially given the nature of Malfeas' Excellency?


Maybe let it drip half the stunt reward into an Overdrive pool or something? It just...thematically it makes no freaking sense. Malfeas doesn't deign to use weapons he didn't create from his essence. That's Ligier that uses artifacts. And even then, it's not like he's a walking armory. He doesn't have to be. He has the Sword of the Yozis. He doesn't really need other artifacts.


P.S: Should that (and say Ravening Maw of Ability) stay as errata'd...don't be surprised if you see my characters attempting to loot any and every essence user they fight for an excuse for those charms to not suck.
 
I would have them go into Overdrive, yeah. Probably splitting the normal reward between standard and overdrive motes for Malfeas. Either that, or copy the Mythos Exultant I wrote for my Devil Tiger in another game, and have it raise the damage of your next attack.

The damage thing ignores the real problem: Malfeas' excellencies can't be used with restraint or moderation. That was the problem the Mythos was supposed to address. That, and skyfire stealing repast. Both were changed to suit 2.5's no mote drips paradigm shift.
 
On another note: anyone willing to help me ponder out other Yozi-based MM material equivalents? You know, things like caustic or shadow weapons. Was considering what Adorjani or Isidorosan equivalents that'd be suitable for application to a pair of smashfists might be.
 
Not sure about Adorjan (solidified wind?) but Isidoros could be something like dark matter, based on his outer space theme. Something super-dense, maybe trading rate and speed for accuracy and damage, even a higher Overwhelming value.

My thought for Isidoros had been something to do with it being superdense or otherwise dealing with the unstoppable force thing. Maybe forcing a knockback check on every attack hit or parried. Or maybe they exert their own gravitic field and have a boosted defence rate due to pulling the attack into your parry. Or both.
 
Dunno. Not sure his the balance'd work. The helltech weapon materials kind of ranged from the cool (shadow or mist razor) to the somewhat sub-par (caustic) to the somewhat broken (lumberyard ice one...which was made more so in the perfect-light environment of 2.5).
 
I dunno. I guess I'd not mind the whole attunement motes idea so much if not for the fact that I've never seen anyone run q game such that they'd actually be anything but useless.

This I can get behind. Who's really gonna carry an unattuned artifact for the sheer chance that you'll get into combat and then attune it during the fight?
