Dice Trial by Fire - Exalted 2e OOC

[D. Rex]

Gotcha!

Power up!
Save the good charms for later!
Wail on them until they show they can withstand it!
Kill he mages!
Break the world with their bodies!
Be frugal!
Don't die!
Crush my enemies
See them driven before me
And hear the lamentations of their women!

Got it!

Just point who you want Ragnar to go after. I'll trust your judgement.

 

[Rykon]

I'll keep my speculations on which styles those might be to myself. I'd rather not speak my fears into reality. Most of us aren't great at ranged attacks, which is a shame, most martial artists are really bad at those. Throwing/Archery would be great for pinning down the martial artist, provided we can keep them from advancing on our ranged combatants.

Does throwing a grappler opponent require a throw roll?


Also, do things launched by heaven thunder hammer count as ranged attacks?

 

[D. Rex]

Also my hits got a stackable Auto-stun now, if that helps.

 

[Rykon]

Martial Arts throws are Martial Arts. It's the difference between Judo and Knife-Throwing

Sweet. There are your range attacks then :3

A shame I didnt get crashing wave throw yet.

 

[Rykon]

Been a bit slow to keep up with things, just got back from hanging out with some friends. I see the dice have confirmed that despite what the character sheets say, Psychie is indeed smarter than us D. Rex . I'd say there were less people surprised by this than the amount of successes I rolled.

 

[Psychie]

Hell, I just got lucky.

 

[Rykon]

Hey it was a good roll, I'm not complaining. I'm Just surprised I didn't botch tbh.

 

[Sherwood]

Yeah, a botch would have been fun for me.

 

[Rykon]

Making up an elaborate lie for botched lore rolls is always fun.

 

[Sherwood]

Oh, yes.

 

[D. Rex]

I'm just thrilled I got 2 successes with 2 dice.

Lol and she is indeed smarter than Ragnar. He's still a barbarian, after all. He just learned how to talk nicely.

 

[D. Rex]

And I'm am definitely looking forward to what Sherwood will throw at us on a botch.




As for willpower! You spend one to get one automatic success added to a roll, right? Or does it apply differently in different situations?

 

[Sherwood]

Yes, it can get you a auto success on a roll, or you can use it to channel a Virtue (such as Conviction, Temperance, Valor, etc) and that grants you the number of dice equal to your Virtue rating.

 

[Rykon]

Were we playing 2E Lunars, I'd recommend leveraging Virtue channels more. Oddly enough having a really potent Virtue is really good for them because it really pumps up their mote pool. I suppose it encourages them to have really strong personalities in one way or another.

 

[D. Rex]

Can you use more than one willpower?

 

[Rykon]

I don't think so, you might be able to spend 1 for an auto success and another for a virtue channel. Outside of that, the only other way to leverage will is charms.

 

[Sherwood]

I don't think so, you might be able to spend 1 for an auto success and another for a virtue channel. Outside of that, the only other way to leverage will is charms.

I believe that is the best you can do, but you cannot spend more than one to get multiple successes on a single roll.

 

[D. Rex]

Just had a thought!


Sherwood Would the Atlas of the Unconquered general reveal the locations of the DeathKnights?

 

[Sherwood]

Why yes, yes it would!

 

[Psychie]

Oh, cool! We can track them down that way!

 

[D. Rex]

Indeed! Ragnar keeps it charged for just such occasions. Keeping them 5 motes committed even if i wont use it all the time.

 

[Rykon]

Oh neat, I didn't realize that was a thing. Very clever!

 

[D. Rex]

Sherwood Just out of curiosity, how close is she to Ragnar?
