And RedV is referring to Spacebattles, a site that is not this one.

I really, truly, earnestly do not understand what qualities you feel that Mantle contains which make it not porn. It gets to the sex quickly. Every character creation option mentions kinks catered to; even if it's an import quest so the votes weren't made here, that kind of sets the tone. The...

Here. Raksi eats babies because it was mentioned she was a cannibal in 1e, and then some enterprising 2e writer decided to make it stupid and bad, as 2e writers were wont to do. I don't know why they would bring it back for 3e. I remember reading this exact same argument in the Exalted thread...

'twas a thing in 1e, unless my eyes do deceive me. See page 69 of Exalted: the Dragon-Blooded.

I had a thought on this just now. OOC, if you want the Realm in a precarious position, you need an extremely weak leader. It also helps establish its collapse, if you want that to happen, and allows for its success, if you want that to happen. For the Realm Civil War to be on the horizon...

Sorcerers are not excessively powerful, so good news on that front. (Solar Melee is where the real ultimate excessive power is.) The issue is one of role preservation, and "if you step into their role you're making substantial changes in your own character concept to access esoteric crap that...

Ah, I misunderstood your post. My bad. It doesn't significantly increase combinatorial hell because there are no Solar Occult Charms that boost sorcery actions beyond the excellency (and one backer Charm that amounts to a really expensive, crappy dice trick). Every type of Exalt's ability to do...

It actually doesn't do this because it explicitly does not combo with Martial Arts styles that are forbidden to wear medium armor.

The rest of the party won't buy up to Solar Sorcery because buying into Sorcery in Ex3 has serious effects on your character concept and isn't just a cool Charm purchase for when you feel like it.

I don't think anything would break (I was worried for a second about sorcery being a requirement for Craft, but that's just certain projects and only Terrestrial Circle), but I'm not sure it's really worth it. It would force players to buy spells they may not want and will never use, and the...

I'm pretty sure it qualifies you to purchase upgrade effects, but not automatic upgrade effects. Now this is ambiguous, but Lore Charms bring up Supernal in this context: So things like... ...are not prematurely activated by a Supernal, whereas things like... ...are available early. I'm...

In third edition, you can go higher with certain, specific Attributes, via Charms. I think it's just Strength (via Increasing-Strength Exercise) and Appearance (via Awakened Carnal Demiurge and Elements-Sculpted Avatar, the latter of which is from the backer Charms).

They're a lot easier than dealing with the combinatorial hell of making regular Charms. You only need to consider how the Evocations interact with the particular player's Charms. An Evocation that's busted with Melee may be perfectly fine with Single Point, and if it goes to the Single Point...

To be honest, I have a tough time caring about their stories in general. They're way too many words for way too little information, and they generally don't matter (with the exception of Blessed Adorei): their principle characters are almost all long-dead and entirely irrelevant. I never go...

Is it? I assumed if you permanently (rather than temporarily) lose your weapon, you get your XP back. Is that not true?
