Wraiths

[magnificentmomo]

My new favorite Exalted Epic Editing mistake is in one of the charms in MoEP Abyssals they list another charm, and instead of the page reference they left in (q.v.) which stands for quod vide which is basically latin for insert page reference here.

The idea is awesome, and if it gets developed enough, I intend to use it.

Some more pointed questions for you all:

• What do you think of the names "vimwraith" and "bloodwraith"?

I like both, but I think they should begin with capital letters. Bloodwraith and Vimwraith.

[*]What do you think of the "vulnerability to a Creation based element" idea, and how would such a vulnerability manifest mechanically?

I really like that idea. I believe the easiest way to put that to work would be making the Creation elements cause aggravated damage to them. Might sound a little over, but the same happens with Holy effects and Creatures of Darkness, so...

[*]I'm leaning pretty heavily against having them be able to learn Arcanoi (unless it turns out that Abyssals can in 2E). Good or bad?

I don't think they should be able to learn Arcanoi. No specific reason, though, it's just an impression.

[*]Which deathlord is the most likely to have figured out how to do this. I'm kind of leaning toward the Dowager, but I'm not sure why.

The Dowager is certainly a nice idea. Mask is also always using new stuff, and if White Wolf doesn't know which DL have some peculiarity, they usually choose him. Using the opposite line of thought, you could choose the Bishop of CT, as he has few "extra resources" (no Great Contagion, no oversized army, no oversized undead fortress, no fleet, etc.).

Maybe Eye and Seven Despairs? He also has little extra resource, though he /does/ have some scary talent that never get used. He's also rather fond of making elaborate zombies and such below-Abyssal undead minions, and with that whole zombie plague thing, he might know enough necrotech to pull this off.

A bit of thread necro here. In spite of a bit of additional work on this idea, I haven't really messed with it at all since before the Underworld book came out. I also admit I haven't really been interested enough to carefully read the 2E Abyssal or Underworld books. Since I'm lazy, I'm wondering how this idea now grabs those that have read these sources deeply. Does/should the release of these books change anything about this idea?
