This or that?

Just getting some rough ideas for the Dragon Blood...

 

[malachi]

There nothing quite like the feel of cracking a mans neck with your bare hands, then add in some kick ass armor like the most terrifying armor of the air dragon, and you get flying uppercuts and lasers and such.

 

[Fruan]

I've grown rather fond of Dire Lances for one simple reason - I find it much easier to come up with spear stunts than sword stunts.


YMMV, of course.

 

[Persell]

I went with the direlance. Cool weapon and all but canonically the weapon of choice for dragon blooded is the reaver daikliave... something I support, awesome weapon looks wise.

 

[Kajata]

And the stats for the big nasty things are very nice as well

 

[Gtroc]

the short daiklave and buff jacket. you get those cool Matrix slow-motion coat flares, and then you can go all Troy on their asses with your short sword. Achilles, eat your heart out!

I'm not sure that "going all Troy" is really anything to be proud of.

 

[Samiel]

The Dire-Lance is a good ground weapon in normal combat, but also doubles as an excellent mounted weapon if you've got a tough enough horse to ride. It is also great for stunts, and a useful multi-tool (Vaulting, wedging, leveraging).


The Shield beats a buff jacket any day; it's nicer to be harder to hit, and even when hit you've taken away a damage dice that would otherwise have hurt you bad, so it's as good as it's difficulty modifier as armour anyway. And it has no mobility penalty.


Daiklaives are the workhorse weapon of the exalted, but they're far from the coolest.

 

[Jukashi]

You can use a Daiklaive as a snowboard, though.

 

[Samiel]

I will readily admit, that's a valid possibility I hadn't considered.


Look out, Eccentricned. Your game just became more radical.

why in hell not? Troy was an excelent movie for stunts. they were unrealistic and crazy, and that makes me happy. what exactly was wrong with it? no laser-guided rocket-propelled springloaded cyberpiranha, or what?

Except Dragon-Blooded don't ride horses into combat.

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

Ahh, but what about artifact horses? They exist, read Caste Book Eclipse, or possible God Blood mounts who can take it? These are all possibilities.

I think that's what Samiel meant by "tough enough horse"

 

[Silence In Daylight]

Exactly. A horse familiar of sufficient power should be able to resist the auras of all but Fire Aspects...then what you need is a Fire Elemental-blood horse.

 

[Cthulhu_Wakes]

That would be most interesting, seeing a horse as pissy as it's master.
