Dice Trial by Fire - Exalted 2e OOC

[Sherwood]

And a flurry is a penalty of -X per strike, with X being (total number of attacks on first strike, adding a +1 on each subsequent strike thereafter)

So, the flurry penalty for activating the form charm would be a -3 on the grapple?

Yup. But you can also boost that with your Excellency Charm to get more dice.

 

[D. Rex]

Yup. But you can also boost that with your Excellency Charm to get more dice.

Does activating an Excellency cost an action?

 

[Sherwood]

it would just be a part of the flurry.

 

[D. Rex]

it would just be a part of the flurry.

It would be part of the flurry, thus making a total to Negative 4 for the grapple?

But the dice added may very well balance that out?

 

[Sherwood]

It would be the rush, activating charms, and attacking. -3 starting out.

 

[D. Rex]

So it would be.

Rush.
Charm 1 (-3, but doesn't apply)
Charm 2 (-4 but doesn't apply)
Grapple (-5)

 

[Sherwood]

Looks good to me. Go kick some Abyssal ass!

If you can! Mwuhahaha!

 

[Psychie]

What do you mean, if?

 

[Sherwood]

Oh, you'll find out! Mwuhahaha!

 

[D. Rex]

Looks good to me. Go kick some Abyssal ass!

If you can! Mwuhahaha!

Last question!


On first ability excellency.

It says can only increase by [ability + attribute]

My ability I'm increasing is MA, which is 5(without specialty).

The attribute, if I chose Strength or DeX. Would the bonus of the excellemcy only apply to rolls where that attribute is involved? For example, I would not be able to use a [MA+Strength] excellency to help with a strike? But could for damage and grapple?

 

[Sherwood]

The to hit roll is always a Dex + Ability roll, so you can use the Excellency to increase it by double of you Dex + Martial Arts. Once you have hit and are trying to maintain the grapple, then it goes to Strength.

 

[D. Rex]

Double my Dex+MA.

So that would be 16.

16 extra dice? Goodness gracious. Flurry penalty be darned.

 

[Sherwood]

It does not apply to the Specialty dice.

 

[Psychie]

Just curious, where do you get 16 dice from? My dice pool is 5 from Dex, 5 from my Martial Arts, and my 3 from my Specialty on my form.

 

[D. Rex]

It does not apply to the Specialty dice.

Yeah. I hadn't. 3 DeX, 5 MA = 8. Double that for 16. So 16 dice from first Excellency?

Or is that a 16 mote purchase of Infinite Excellency, for the scene long First Excellent of max dice of 8?

 

[D. Rex]

Just curious, where do you get 16 dice from? My dice pool is 5 from Dex, 5 from my Martial Arts, and my 3 from my Specialty on my form.

Sherwood said increase it by double of your [attribute + ability].

Or maybe I understood it wrong.

 

[Sherwood]

I got ya. Yes, you can keep on dumping on your dice with every action. And yes, the Excellency lets you as a Solar put in 8 more dice, making your dice pool double your starting value, not the whole +16 dice.

 

[Rykon]

This is what infinite ability mastery is for, ot gives you a discount for the scene, letting you use it for free.

 

[Sherwood]

Don't worry about all these questions! We'll get you set up right! It doesn't bother me at all.

 

[D. Rex]

Gotcha! So it's my original, plus what I get from the Excellency, which totals to 16.

 

[Sherwood]

Right! You got it!

 

[D. Rex]

Don't worry about all these questions! We'll get you set up right! It doesn't bother me at all.

Thank you! I got a feel for everything, and I at least understand the lingo now! I'm starting to get it

 

[Psychie]

We are here for you!

 

[D. Rex]

10 successes
Did I do that right? Math is in the spoiler.

 

[D. Rex]

Sherwood Forgot to add stunt! Would that be a 1 stunt or 2 stunt?
