Why not give Lydia willpower? Basically everything she does depends on it.

Not to mention VEE would solve our money issues just have the Goules start a company and every month have one of them wish it bigger, and more successful. in 10 month we own the largest company in the world.

I feel like, if we did that, that would end up backfiring really hard on us, for a multitude of reasons.

For people voting on xp sharing, Please consider this.

[] Lydia XP: All companions get 1/4 of the total XP spent on Molly, rounded down. Molly can spend XP on companions but not the other way round. The 1/4 does NOT reduce what Molly earns.

So this way we do not have to divide our xp between companions.

@DragonParadox
QUESTION
-Are Lydia's charm costs 3XP or 4XP?
-Can we buy Backgrounds? Specifically for Lydia?

Here's what the book says:

Charms
Exigents buy all of their Charms for (rating × 3) experience points

So that's nice.

I won't vote for anything until DP has woken up and things are a bit clearer.

I mean ya that would be great. I would love to get more XP total as well. But is that actually an option?

3 XP
Yes, within reason

Also yes, Skin of Steel should be scene long

Is this write in for xp sharing valid?

@DragonParadox, we also had a diamond crafting action according to the turn plan for August,

I assume on a more industrial scale with preparation and full dedication for several days, you mentioned a pending vote for details of the crafting (CCC/BSM/WHWH/CSR?) when we would get to it, and a possibility of vote to either go for as high as possible quality, up to natural grade, or to stay at just high quality artificial diamonds, aiming for as large as possible quantity.

Now that we have a territory underground, we even can make a more dedicated/permanent crafting place without worrying about surroundings, Molly's house and family so much.

Did this action get pushed back to the next turn because of all the other things we did? Or is it still pending? Not much time left in the month.

Your first making of diamonds was not going to be very elaborate. Molly had to test how it would work and if she had any buyers

@DragonParadox @uju32 Is this valid?

How do you want to handle Lydia's XP

[] Lydia earns 1/4xp of what Molly does seperately. So If Molly earns 20xp, Lydia earns 5xp, which is not subtracted from Molly's pool.

This was my idea from last turn.

I do not think that would work, it would scale very badly with more companions and we would be right back where we started.

It is a shame that we can't afford 9 Xp for False Springs Beckon (•••). It would be really nice if we could take away Tomas's weakness to true love. But 9xp just to be nice to a single minion is hard to squeeze.

Would you mind elaborating why it does not scale?

The idea is that all contribute to a main xp pool that is used directly by Molly. So Lydia, Bob and Molly's actions contribute to a total of say 23 xp.

What happens is Molly spends 22xp on herself and 1 on Lydia.

So Molly 22xp

Lydia 5xp + 1xp (1/4 of 23 + 1 from Molly)

Bob 5xp (1/4 of 23).

So companions get a fixed 1/4 of Molly and what she transfers to them.

So it would allow steady progression with option to boost them from the main pool.

Ah, I see, each companion gets 1/4th, that could work... yeah it would incentivize you to get more and more companions, but that is normal.

Approved.

So, given that Chapalu was worth 2 XP, am I guessing right that he wasn't just some random Malk?

@uju32 @BronzeTongue would you be willing to edit your votes based on this?

[] Lydia XP: All companions get 1/4 of the total XP spent on Molly, rounded down. Molly can spend XP on companions but not the other way round. The 1/4 does NOT reduce what Molly earns.

We got approval for seperate xp pools for companions WITHOUT impacting Molly's pool.

Well it was him and his scores of friends, but yeah he is a noble of Winter, a vassal of the Cat Sith

I mean, we had our first making before, when we broke out the Black Rider at the end of July, that was to be our second, so as a second one and as a full AP one I assumed it was going to be more elaborate. Did I misunderstand things?

As for votes your mentioned, I refer to this answers to my questions:

myrix said:
@DragonParadox, if we are going to craft, do we need to include in the plan anything beyond Excellency + BSM which was used when we crafted last time? Like CCC abuse, or some preparational crafting like sufficiently big, isolated and specifically prepared to craft inside liquid oxygen cryochamber for simultaneous BSM (in liquid) + WHWH (cold) + CSR (pure oxygen is toxic) benefits?

DragonParadox said:
No, that can be handled when we get to the actual crafting action, no reason to make the plan too complex from the get go, this is high level 'what do you do this month' not 'how'.

myrix said:
@DragonParadox, when we get to diamond crafting, could we explicitly aim for a high as possible quantity of bigger high quality artificial diamonds instead of going all the way to the diamonds so good-crafted they are indistinguishable from natural ones?

DragonParadox said:
Hmm... I think that sort of judgement call should come down to a vote as there are pros and cons on either side

So I understood them as if there is going to be a full action with a vote/votes on how to proceed, not some background thing.

@DragonParadox several questions:
1) Is Winter Law law or occult?
2) Do we get the upgrades by the time we meet the librarian or afterwards?

Molly did not make the roll to realize she can make them good enough to pass for natural.
