Bramble Rose Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 You'll wanna google 'Solar Character Sheet' so you can see the full ability listing. Also 'Flaw' is an *epic flaw*. there's a list of ideas in the book, but the basic idea is: Take your greatest virtue. Base a 'trigger' off that virtue, and when you hit that trigger too often, then you either (A) expand a major character trait to extremes, or (B) reverse it to be the absolute opposite of normal. This is called your limit break, and it represents the Great Curse laid upon the Exalts, that their greatest strength is also their greatest flaw.

Bramble Rose Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Crazy Horse, I just finally (I know, so lazy) ran the audit of your character sheet... I'm coming up with slightly odd numbers. Check me on this, would you?You used bonus points to buy up:2 extra attribute dots (4 points each)2 extra ability dots in favored abilities (1 point each)1 extra charm in a favored charm tree (4 points)If I give you a 1-point improved join battle, then you spent 12 points on merits.If I give you the 5-point version of Enemy, then you recovered 10 points on flaws.8 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 16 bonus points spent. you only had 15 to spend.

Blueblood Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I only bought one extra attribute dot with bonus points; the other came from my race bonus.(Social: I added the normal 8 for the favored section, giving me 5 Char, 5 Manip, and 1 Appearance;Mental: I added the normal six, giving me 4 wits, 4 perception, and 1 Intelligence, added the Earth Pony bonus to Wits, and bought one point of Int.Physical: I put all 4 dots into stamina.)The numbers should add up better now.Oh, and in the thread right now I suppose I don't need to use Courtier's eye technique, so I'll edit that out of my post.

Bramble Rose Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Ah, right! Forgot about the race bonus, thanks. So how much enemy / join battle do you have, then?That by itself makes it so you can have either:Join Battle 1 / Enemy 2Join Battle 2 / Enemy 3Join Battle 3 / Enemy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Did you count the race bonus to abilities, too? Because I have Join Battle 3/Enemy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out on a little issue I've been having.It's about stunts. Now, I kind of wish I'd thought of this during character creation, but the fact is I've specced out Crazy Horse to be a 'social monster.' All well and good, but I'm finding it difficult to write out over-the-top descriptions of what amounts to just talking to other characters. Since stunting is such a huge part of the game, I kind of feel that I've done a disservice to myself.Any help/advice/examples you can give me?

Bramble Rose Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Oh! You're quite right, that should have been a stunt. Be sure to ask for stunt points from time to time. I don't always remember to grant them. But as for advice - it *is* harder to stunt non-physical stuff, I quite agree. It's something I've struggled with, when i had my own speech-giver character.If you've seen "gurren Laggan" they had a lot of good presence stunts there.

AzalR75 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I would like to note Rackenhammer... DANG good time on posting. I had to delete and retype my post because I think it was about to get a -lot- more messy. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Heard of the show, haven't seen it, but I will remember to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 By the by, Racken - Crazy Horse isn't too behind there. Your speech *would* have gotten stunt dice if I'd remembered to give them ... and honestly, social combat is horribly destructive to any campaign. There's LOTS of stuff with defenses against physical combat... defenses against social combat are much more rare. You might feel like you're not doing much, but you're *this* close with just a few delicate uses of your power to having completely disrupted the fae's careful planning.

AzalR75 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hey guys, would have let you known if I knew I was going today but I thought I had a day more to respond. Will be out of town this weekend so slow to respond and will (most likely) be monochromatic to respond because I'll be on mobile and I can't make this site think my phone is a pc browser so won't have editing tools.Respond times (if I get to respond) will be determined by how many things are broken and how much I'll need to weld and such (Yay, I'll actually be doing my characters thing of metalworking ^^)See you on the flipside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Okie-dokie. I'm pretty sure Crazy Horse can stall to cover your absence . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzalR75 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Woo! Magic of copy/paste I figured out how to do colors. And on Bramble's last post: My god… It's full of tropes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Rose Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 So sorry, Rackenhammer - after having done so much with Ferrou tonight, I've run out of time to respond to the post you just made. I'm not sure I'll be able to answer tomorrow morning, either ... I feel kinda unfair to not be able to respond to Crazy Horse like I did to Ferrou .... but just... running out of time...

Blueblood Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's all right. I have to re-do that post, now, some of it doesn't make sense with what you just posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey, Rackenhammer - I'mma allow that tidbit with Fluttershy's B&B, though it wasn't really a B&B back then, but when I next award XP you're going to have to take at least one level of Past Lives to justify it.

Blueblood Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Ah, yes; I wasn't sure if I had to rely on stats to remember that much, but since it was appropriate to the situation, I thought it would be a good time to trigger it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 "Appropriate to the Situation" equates to "Stunt" which equates to "Allowing you to break the rules a little bit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 By the way - is Crazy Horse waiting on anything to continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I had been waiting on Azal, but right now I've been so busy with NMN that I haven't had time to come up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Rose Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Ah. Azal's been waiting for you because there's little for Ferrou to do in this situation. It's Crazy Horse's show at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Right. I think we're gonna wrap up that conversation as soon as I can spare time from my event posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
