I still say Ebon Shadow Martial Arts fits an assassin's needs too well not to learn.
Add the fact that it allows teleportation through shadows, so he can break in to get Illya back rather easily.
Also, raising Dodge, Stealth, and Larceny to 5 (and getting his hiding from magic senses specialty to the max) should be done soon. Probably Occult and War too. These will make getting his daughter out much easier.
Depends on how fast we get XP.I hope we can get Ilyia much sooner that that. Learning all of that will cost a lot of time.
Also, Charms are better that skills in most cases. Stealth 4 and Larceny 3 is already good enough, charms take precedence.
It does provide multiple benefits. Increasing the power of the charms Kiritsugu already has as well as providing additional mote capacity as the two big ones.I would say raising essence to 3 should be the most important thing. Many of the more powerfull charms only become available at that level. I think going to 3 is also easier than increasing it further.
See what Gilgamesh saidSo, I wonder if this is indeed Creation, or if the exaltation has traveled to another world/reality.

There's a GSNF expansion that's a spirit perma-killer, but that is a little ways away IIRC.We need a spirit-killed as well. There are too many things around that don't die when they are killed.

Cracked Cell Circumvention is a charm available from The Ebon Dragon at E2 and is probably one of the best escape charms in the game. Gives you a flat [Essence] SUCCESSES to any action that would allow you to escape capture for basically nothing. (2m or 2m 1wp. The WP cost is to allow for escape from cells that are otherwise completely impervious)
It's a really, really good charm. We should probably prioritize it.
Pretty sure this won't help us with Ilya. It only helps when the infernal is imprisoned. It can't be used to break others free.

Incorrect. It doubles the number of rolled successes on an escape attempt.Gives you a flat [Essence] SUCCESSES to any action that would allow you to escape capture for basically nothing. (2m or 2m 1wp. The WP cost is to allow for escape from cells that are otherwise completely impervious)
Sure it can. The charm doesn't specify that the cell you're escaping from is just your own. It also doesn't say you can't bring someone else with you when you use it. It can also be used to circumvent a guard blocking her way, or to escape from a place under heavy watch.
TED's charms are very flexible like that, if you squint hard enough at them.
charm description said:Note that this Charm only aids in direct personal escape efforts; it can help an Exalt seduce a guard to get out of jail, but it won't help her shatter the prison wall from the outside to set other captives free.
Its true that if we were trapped in the same jail as Ilya then we could use this to escape and bring her with us, but that seems silly. Frankly, seems easier to just get one of the perfect defenses, walk in, kill everyone, walk out with Ilya. We could even take TEDs perfect defense. The Einzberns probably don't use holy attacks.
