Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

[X] With subtle threats (Manipulation+Intimidation)
-[X] Stunt: "Maybe sanctimonious shrews should keep their opinions to themselves? That seems less likely to inspire violent teens to...act out, don't you think?"
 
so whats our general insight on her, what does she fear, what are things we've noticed about her, anything our powers give?
 
well more just what any of our attributes tell us and what we've learned over the years.

She seems to fear the judgement of her peers or she would not be so eager to cast judgement on others, that 'let he who is without sin' parable seems to have been made for her, though she tends to couch her own judgement behind God's when it suits her. Keep in mind this is the woman who suggested sending Molly to a camp for 'troubled youths' and got politely eviscerated by Charity for it. Molly is unlikely to have a perfectly balanced judgement of her.
 
If you're going to use the crown go for 'most shameful secret', it's perfect. But yeah, head off Leech saying something.

-[X] Stunt: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone... It seems like some people don't understand that wasn't just a moral caution, it was a practical one to judgemental shrews to avoid similar... Judgement."

okay so something about her preaching as if she knows Gods opinion on anime and something about how her opinions will ostracize her from others

Oh and also a small note, just like Hank this morning this little confrontation is a consequence of dialing down the dread by buying up appearance to 2, your passive intimidation aura against mortals has gone down a notch for good and for ill.
 
[x] Diplomatically (Charisma+Empathy)
-[X] It would be easy to frighten her. To let the chill of hell into your breath, coloring your words and actions. To look and see her most guarded, shameful secret laid bare and use it against her. You do not. Your power has better applications. You are capable of subtler, gentler things. You know that the mightiest weapon of her God is, at its core, love - you have felt it against your blade and soul. It is that knowledge you try to instill in her through your words.


Something like this. God is love, or at least the weapon of God she builds her life around is love. Convince her of that.
 
Yes, you went from 'so scary crowds parted like the Red Sea without knowing why' to 'strangers avoid your gaze'. If you go up to three, which is what Molly's looks and mannerisms used to be pre-Exaltation you will be back to normal sans the uncanny chill which people are inclined to rationalize away unless you really rub it in their faces.
whats a 5 then? Not that we're likely to ever up it to 5 it at all comparable to raiths?
 
5s probably around lara raith or mr.raith yeah there might be even higher things out there like if you entered wherever Aphrodite lives in the nevernever they aren't our problem though.

That, or to remind her that Jesus used violence himself, and that the core of his teachings is compassion.
Molly: "Well, I say 'remind'. But people like you never seem to grasp the concept to begin with."

5 is Lara when she is not trying, since she is a supernatural predator who hunts using among other things appearance she can push it to inhuman levels, that is 6+ when she calls on her Demon.

so there are things that push past 5 dots in this system. Good to know. Also sure we can't move past 5 dots we have charms and absurd exp for stats in comparison though oh and essence.
 
There are things that can, but it is not easy and it is rarely without unwanted consequences when it comes to attributes. 6+ is called inhuman for a reason.
I'm guessing even the average raith doesn't go past 5 normally right? Since lara is probably the best female raith (unless lord raith has estranged children born before lara which is possible as hes been around probaby at least a thousand years when lara was born) and somewhere between like 3-6 centuries old compared to others most under a hundred. Not counting head honcho lord raith who is apparently older than mab and maybe nicodemus can't remember I know hes older than mab though. I wonder what an uncrippled lord raith is like.
