Dice Trial by Fire - Exalted 2e OOC

[Sherwood]

Yup.

 

[D. Rex]

Besides, Heaven Thunder Hammer has been calling my name. Gonna smash people across the battlefield now.

 

[Psychie]

Don't forget to increase your Dexterity. Being able to hit someone across the field is pointless if you can't connect with the target.

 

[Sherwood]

A very good point.

 

[D. Rex]

Very true. I could to take myself to DeX 3. At 12xp. Then buy one charm and have 3 left over.

 

[Sherwood]

That would be my suggestion.

 

[D. Rex]

Just short of buying a new language. Though, I think Old realm was handed out as free?

 

[Sherwood]

Sure. Go for it.

 

[D. Rex]

Alrighty. CS updated!

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

To all others who increased Essence, Skills, or Attributes.

Do note that in 2ed, where it says rating for the XP cost, it means CURRENT rating.

So, Ragnar increasing his Dex from 2 to 3 actually costs only 8 xp. (Rating X 4)

 

[Sherwood]

Very good point. I had missed that when D. Rex posted his increase cost as 12 points. Thank you.

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Can I get a Free Essence 4 for that?

 

[Sherwood]

Are you still at Essence 3?

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Yep. Lunar Charms and such cost more than Solar ones. Though truth be said, I feel like, combat-wise Sirocco can now maintain herself well. And I can start expanding other areas, like I bought Sorcery, Occult, and Intelligence

 

[Sherwood]

Since you are starting to lag behind everyone else's Essence rating, yes, I'll give you that one due to the xp variance between the Solars and Lunars in the system.

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Wow, thanks. I must say I wrote that as a semi joke.

 

[Sherwood]

I have never liked the disparity between the xp charts for the various kinds of Exalts and the Solars.

 

[Psychie]

Never look gift Essence in the mouth. Take it and run!

 

[D. Rex]

Whoo! Now I got 7 free xp! Thanks Red! *waits with anticipatory fervor for next xp point*

 

[D. Rex]

Weighda minute.

If that is the formula. Then I should have spent 4xp for going to Dex2 instead of 8! Which means I got another 4!

 

[Psychie]

Quick! Step on a bug! That might do it!

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

D. Rex you could use that XP to get a Specialty or two, like in War.

 

[Sherwood]

Another excellent idea. I'm not saying that you'll be waging mass combat (I hate mass combat in this system), but it might happen. Especially with the amount of nation building that is going on here.

 

[Psychie]

A subtle hint from our Storyteller? What could be on the horizon for us?

 

[D. Rex]

That I could! But I'm not entirely sure how to use war yet in practice, so was going to wait and see how things go for the first battle then decide how Ragnar will improve himself. Though a specialty kn training would always be useful.

I could also wait for that bug that psychie mentioned and get my DeX up to 4. Ooh, or upgrade the hammer and get a specialty in war.
