And since their defination of spears / pole arms are rather loose, you can actually use it in conjunction with 5 Dragon Style or Jade Mountain Style and STILL stay in the style weapon... ;riven5 said:I actually really like the Crimson Pentacle Blade Style. Â It is, perhaps, the only MA style I can truly dig as a competitive style. Â Whereas masters of the Celestial and Sidereal styles are downright rare in the world of Exalted (taken on a personal scale), users of Terrestrial styles are far more plentiful.
I also think Crimson Pentacle is extremely flavorful, especially in the way the five postures are described. Â It is also downright cool in that it is specifically designed for group combat hinged towards the Terrestrial Exalted, who are supposed to be masters of fighting in force.
Granted, the charms are not...good. Â Not at all. Â Still, they are pretty potent for say, a God-Blood of some variety.
I also would like to note that the Protocol system in Crimson Pentacle is SCARY.... especialy if you have celestial MA or sidereal MA in the protocol.
