I have no idea about what can and can't be done, but if our little bro's gf needs to eat ppl; I think it'd be really nice to find a way to let her live healthily without having to do so.

Edit: @firefrog600 I was not attempting comedy, and as such I feel like your 'laugh' react was done in mockery of me/my post.
edit2: @FallenPears Ok, I know you're both genuinely a well intentioned individual and dammed fucking clever. Have I mad an unintentional joke? I was going for sincerity!

We really need VED now it covers our information needs by letting us take over the small fey network. Improve allies and safe guard people. Just the ability to remove flaws is golden.

Ah. Thank you for explaining. I'm not clear on why that's funny, but at least your reaction was not added with the intention of lazily demeaning my[1] idea via mockery.

[1] Again, I have little to no understanding of what is and is not possible for Molly.

We can just wish the small fey had a lifetime supply of pizza. GM confirmed the entire small fey are up for grabs with a single wish.

oh I know it attracts attention though and I wouldn't mind getting it next time. Though it could be a good one for acquiring exp honestly. Its been what a full week and we aren't even in any contact with little fae and we need to be taught more about modern supernatural species otherwise we aren't gonna be giving them stuff as it'd be dangerous. Honestly unsure why usum knows anything about the fae unless his imprisoners spoke to him. They very much are a new thing relatively fae of dresden files and fae of exalted are very very different with these fae being less than 2000 years maximum and most being descended from humans or former humans themselves most actually being formerly humans.

Edit: Well not counting nevernever time honestly subjectively some may be far far older.

Okay, so we have 20XP.

VOTE
OPTION A
[]The Superman
-[] +1 Essence Gives two more motes to cap; May spent 2 Essence in one round; unlocks Shintai form 8 XP
-[] Lanka Charm: By Rage Recast (••): Gives you access to another Shintai Aspect in your human form. Flight. 6 XP
-[] The Hell of Boiling Oil Charms Charm: Charred Sinner Renewal (•) : Regain Essence and Heal much faster when immersed in toxic liquids; Immunity to the harmful effects of such liquids when immersed 4 XP

Remainder 2XP

OPTION B
[]The Batman
-[] +1 Appearance, with practice and with will you take on a guise less strange, less eerie 4 XP
-[] +1 Essence Gives two more motes to cap; May spent 2 Essence in one round; unlocks Shintai form 8 XP
-[] Wicked City Charm: Hollow Mind Possession (••): Invest a dark spirit in a into a smart device within line of sight, awakening it into an AI subject of your power within the limits of the device. Can be permanent with enough successes 4 XP
-[] The Hell of Boiling Oil Charms Charm: Charred Sinner Renewal (•) : Regain Essence and Heal much faster when immersed in toxic liquids; Immunity to the harmful effects of such liquids when immersed 4 XP

Remainder 0XP

REASONS
Both options buy
▪+1 Essence for Shintai and increased Essence cap
▪Charred Sinner Renewal for fast healing and Essence recovery, which allows the QM throw us at situations without us dying.
Those are not negotiabñe


Option A gives us Flight for enhanced mobility, but cant afford anything else.
We can sneak out of our room at night with no problem, get around the city at a significant speed in a straight line.

Option B gives us better social ability due to higher Appearance, and it gives us the ability to use Hollow Mind Possession to significantly improve our ability to gather intelligence in real time and on the internet, and even to do Crafting.
If that Chicago surveillance camera network is up and running, thats Big.

And if Chicago police already have computers in their patrol cars, Molly can infiltrate their network as soon as she gets within line of sight of a squad car. EDIT Chicago police cars have had laptops since at least the 1990s.
So that makes this even more valuable to have.

[X] Plan Broad Improvements
-[X] +1 Essence 8 xp
-[X] The Hell of Boiling Oil Charms Charm: Charred Sinner Renewal 4 xp
-[X] +1 Appearance 4 xp
-[X] +1 Awareness 3 xp
1 xp unspent
general idea is to shore up some weaknesses in our stats, get a recovery/crafting charm, and get E2 for its benefits (mainly our shintai).
 
Playing around with some plans:

Also Hollow Mind Possession presumably is meant to cost 8 XP.

Plan Genie: Verdant Emptiness Endowment
Logic: Help Rosie. Help Dresden, etc.

Plan Generalism: Essence 2(8 XP), Appearance 2(4 XP), Brawl 2(5 XP), Naked Wicked Souls(3 XP)
Logic: Social Boosts from better appearance, more metaphysical staying power, being able to function in unarmed combat, and the ability to get more information out of people without using the crown

Plan Tradecraft: Night Swallows Secrets(9 XP), Disguise of the New Face(10 XP)
Logic: Cleanup aid for potential incidents, helps us act secretly

Plan Exorcist: Sapphire Ritual of Exorcism(10 XP), Essence 2(8 XP), Academics 2(2 XP)
Logic: Get Lasciel out of Dresden's head, fix school problems if we still have them

We have high confidence she's a Fae changeling, not a White Court virgin.
So its unlikely to be an issue with her

I do think they found it funny because of the phrasing though.
 
I'm going for the generalist plan I just proposed

[x]Plan Generalism
-[x]Essence 2(8 XP)
-[x]Naked Wicked Souls(3 XP)
-[x]Appearance 2(4 XP)
-[x]Brawl 2(5 XP)

Darn it.
Sorry, not familiar with the charms list of EvWoD, so just going by the canon Exalted charms

Death of Obsidian Butterflies is the only Sorcery spell on that list we can get without homebrew too.

Well, something we probably want in a bit, so if we have to face any large groups of enemies, we can do so.
Basically 'on the list of things to buy in the future.'

Though, a homebrew countermagic Ancient Sorcery spell would be a very good thing to have.

[] +1 Essence Gives two more motes to cap; May spent 2 Essence in one round; unlocks Shintai form 8 XP
[] Ancient Sorcery Spell [Will be Gained when next you sleep] Sapphire Ritual of Exorcism: Over the course of ten minutes banish any possessing spirit or power from its victim/host. Not even the Fallen may resist the mandala of absolute reality 10 XP
[] Lanka Charm: By Rage Recast (••): Gives you access to another Shintai Aspect in your human form 6 XP
[] Kakuri Charm: Bloodless Murk Evasion (•••): Allows Shadow teleportation including to reflexively avoid all but holy attacks 9 XP
[] +1 Appearance, with practice and with will you take on a guise less strange, less eerie
[] Lessen Touch of Frost, rather than the killing frost your touch is merely cold, instead of killing plants your prorogued ministrations can at most wilt them

These are what I'm thinking of at the moment.
And yes, I know we don't have the XP for all of them at the moment.
The +1 Essence is kind of mandatory, which leaves us 12XP

Now, with 12XP, we can get any one thing from these: By Rage Recast, Bloodless Murk Evasion, Sapphire Ritual of Exorcism, or +1 Appearance.

Now, we have a choice:
+1 Appearance AND By Rage Recast, leaving us 2XP
or
Bloodless Murk Evasion, leaving us 3XP
or
Sapphire Ritual of Exorcism leaving us 2XP

Just 'how' toxic are we talking?
Remember, has to be stuff that won't cause too many issues having around with all the jawas, and not so expensive that it will be a hardship on the family to use it.
 
I'd rather not put points into brawl since its basically just splitting up our combat options especially if people want firearms in addition to it later.
 
If we are not getting VED,

Here is a decent plan that covers weaknesses and improves strengths
[] Plan Social monster, and essence renewal
-[] Essence 2(8 XP)
-[] Naked Wicked Souls(3 XP)
-[] Charred Sinner Renewal 4 XP
-[] Charm: Demonic Primacy of Essence 4 XP

Naked Wicked Souls amounts to saving the question on most people. Charred Sinner Renewal covers the main weakness of exalted that is being drained of power. And Demonic Primacy of Essence makes us a social monster to nearly everything.

Yeah I wasn't demeaning or anything, the picture of Lydia secretly eating people just gave me a surprised snort. It was… a bit more extreme than my impression of her :p

Not to say I disagree with the idea, just sudden you know? Out of left field kinda thing.
