Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Where are you getting this from?
The informational posts on the cities as well as past conversations on city-based path magics with DP. A path that manipulates the 'Wheel' of another is vaguely anologous to dark magic, but also isn't very useful for doing anything but tormenting people. A path that allowed one to manipulate some effects of one's own wheel is limited, but situationally useful as long as you aren't trying to revive faster.

On a slightly funnier note, doesn't Molly technically still have a religious requirement to go crusading if called? Probably not going to happen but the image of Catholic priests, holy knights, and a legion of pagan demonpunk cyborgs all trying to work together is pretty entertaining.
Incredibly weird fucking fact:
When I google "Can the Pope", then "Can the Pope still call for a crusade" is the first suggestion.

This topic seems to concern some people.
 
First of all, I want to say, great interlude. Poor Father Forthill, his parishioner the head of a nuclear nation. He'll have a hard time with this. But he is a good person and strong. he can handle it. But it's interesting that the library sent such messages at all.

Secondly...Maybe we can make a homebrew version of SGI? For example, clones can take up not only essence, but also crafting bodies, various things, etc. Maybe we'll even cut out the power of the shintai. But in return, such created clones will be...Simply immune to paranoid tactics? Whether through self-destruction or other measures. I think it will not only be flavorful, but also extremely interesting. Although it may already be too late given the winning vote.

That's what people are suggesting here anyway. Supplying clones with anti-paranoid measures through crafting.

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. Molly's enemies are many and Nemesis is known to be rather spiteful.
I know, but what can you do if this name sticks. But I personally want this charm. Even if I don't vote for it in its current form. Mainly because of the amount of problems and discussions it will cause, no matter how cool it may sound.

If it were instead the ability to make copies of Molly's mind that, as spirits, control bodies and return to the soul pool as cyberdevils, there would be less of this controversy.
 
Catching up:
She got possessed by Corpsetaker because she believed she had no other options, and was acting under limited, and partially false assumptions. And barring Molly's existence, she was almost right - she was poised to become Mab's slave for eternity, as punishment for her father's actions.
We're not gonna agree about that.

How was being possessed by Corpsetaker supposed to help her?
Even your basic newbie Cauldronite knows about not giving random spirits squatting rights in your body, and Lydia started this game with Occult 1 and access to her father's library, so ignorance was no excuse.

I like Lydia, but lets not pretend that she has a history of making great decisions.

Like I said, this is the girl whose response to her boyfriend having inadequacy issues was to propose an expedition into the deep NeverNever to go seek power. Not to do mundane training for relevant skills.
Not to talk to the boyfriend's sister, the Infernal Exalt with resources.

Its horrifying to realize that Molly is supposed to be the adult of the two :V

Actually, one of our minions already has a trick in that direction.

With Fortitude 3 the effect is rather limited.
With Elder Fortitude, much less so.
And there it is.
Fucking hell, its even a 1-dot Combination Discipline. :anger:
If Id seen this before all the votes, I'd have tried harder to include that Ox-Body.

I could've traded Lydia's second charm and PRA for BMI, but there are few people that have already voted for my plan, and I don't know their opinion.
Also, @uju32, how are planning to deal with Mutt, you also voted for his recruitment?
We ask Lash to do it.
Its a Flaw, she can just as easily do the same thing she did for Lydia, and get rid of it with a Pact.
Not an issue.
 
I'm wondering if we can retrain or change the charms in the future to suit Molly. I'm just really concerned about this in terms of some of the charms. Although new charms are always better in this regard...

But in any case, I believe that since there will be clones, this will need to be made into a story arc and special APs will be allocated for this, which will be used to save the clones from future dangers.

Lydia didn't have almost any education in occult. She is incredibly sheltered, and her occult score at the start was 0. The fault, by the way, lies with her father, who didn't prepare her at all for realities of the world, and seemingly didn't give her even a basic supernatural safety talk.
 
If Lash learns Lore of Awakening to 3 Dots, won't she be able to heal Harry's aggravated damage?
Yes, she would.
No they don't.
[SNIP]
Abyssals actually don't seem to have an option for this, and Sidereals need their martial arts bullshit.
Im gonna have to go back and check. Because Im pretty sure there's charms for this.

For a demigod she's positively well behaved.
Though if she offers to send Daniel on a day trip to the shadow realm again we should start a scoreboard comparing her to the ancient Greeks. In Character.
:V :V :V
Don't we already have native Counter Magic? I do not see the reason to get it more. Am I missing something?
We have reflexive countermagic(Wits+Occult) for spells pointed at Molly.
As you'll notice, we dont have countermagic for spells that arent pointed at Molly directly, but are pointed at the area, or at someone else; when the Dragon tried to nuke Las Vegas, we didnt have a response.

Treaties Old and New​
16th of January 2007 A.D.
Included in this letter is all information they have shared about themselves and their war-fighting capabilities under the supreme executive command of Mrs Carpenter.
Correction: Ms Carpenter.
Mrs Carpenter would be Charity. Which would be a different sort of terrifying :V

More broadly, I assume the Library is going to be more than a little nonplussed when Molly shows back up in high school on Monday/Tuesday. Magical powerhouse and political figure on the weekends, high school student during the week.
I wonder if they are going to make Buffy mandatory watching.


Im feeling really good about going wth Black Mirror Incarnation over Splintered Gale this turn.
And I like Splintered Gale. I think its an essential part of our loadout. But being able to pass unnoticed is going to become critical very soon if we want to get anything done and not have people looking in our bedroom window.


Do we want to hide? No? Then it is a worthless charm.

And given how we act, we clearly don't want to hide, so the charm is not useful to us.
This is just wrongheaded.
The value of tactical and strategic surprise is something you appear to be completely ignoring, particularly in how it affects our options and plots.

Half the plot of the Las Vegas incident was due to the fact that Sandra, and everyone else, could tell when we came to Vegas, and that ambush attempt was due to the ease of tracking us.

When we went to kill Arianna in Mexico?
The Fellowship detected and tracked Molly in Mexico across hundreds of miles specifically because she wasnt able to hide her aura while passing through the rivers.

Similarly, the akuma had no issue finding Molly in the graveyard specifically because there was a quest marker over her location pointing to her precise location.

When Molly first met Pauline Moskowitz, in public at a dining place, we had to roll 10 successes to stop her from fleeing because Uncloaked Molly looks that terrifying to lesser practitioners.Which makes it harder to do diplomacy if you have to do a double Legendary to stop the other person from running away screaming.


And thats what comes to mind. I could probably find more.
Lydia didn't have almost any education in occult. She is incredibly sheltered, and her occult score at the start was 0. The fault, by the way, lies with her father, who didn't prepare her at all for realities of the world, and seemingly didn't give her even a basic supernatural safety talk.
*checks*
Nope, thats not true.

We first spend XP on Lydia at the end of Arc 3/start of Arc 4.
Her starting Occult was 1, and its still 1. We havent raised it ever. In addition, she explicitly had access to her father's library, and as a major supernatural figure, her father had a lot of shit there.

She was sheltered yes, she was not ignorant.
Just impulsive and reckless, like a lot of teenagers her age, which is typically how they get into trouble.

I do expect a surprisingly competent librarian to transfer into our school. And whatever place of higher education we end up in.

High school is unlikely, especially since Molly is a high school senior in her final semester.
By the time the arrangements are done, she'll be graduating.

University? Almost certainly.
They probably already have people in that general location; Boston is a higher education nexus, and is the sort of place that a library would have a presence even under normal circumstances.

i already said it, but it bears repeating - from an outside perspective, Molly in school / university is a super-secret easter egg bonus boss of a whole separate quest / campaign. A much more low level one, something buffyesque, where most magic is like a 1-2 dot path magic (and the campaign is probably using a whole different mechanics system), and the main evil boss is either some local whampire crime boss or a mundane corporate CEO with some ties to supernatural. And Molly is just chilling in the corner, the players can do stuff like get her help with melee training maybe, or just get her to make them some really good coffee if she likes them enough, and you have to be super lucky or unlucky to trigger her intervention, and then there's suddenly a hell empress in burning plate with the aura of fiery eyes, and the reality is breaking down and bending to her will.

Approval voting the plan with Black Mirror Incarnation.
Like I said, I like Splintered Gale, but I think this is more important. For everything from high politics, to minor social issues like the Alpha werewolf gang who have been spooked by Molly smelling of hellfire.

We can get Splintered Gale next turn.
The lack of Countermagic is going to fuck us though if we need to see to Peabody in the next Arc.

You're just describing the campaign that the Alphas are currently playing.

Think about it - werewolf gang that patrols/polices the University of Chicago area, and have a high-tier ally who happens to be a White Council wizard who acts as an advisor and has saved their bacon before. One of their major campaigns was just providing support for him as he intervened in a war between the Fae Courts and killed a Fae Queen.

And suddenly that ally has a woman, a stunner with no apparent history and a touch of the uncanny, and he insists everything is fine. And this other one high schooler who smells wrong just keeps showing up in his vicinity.
 
Clones are our get of jail free card: even if someone manages to kill Molly, she can pop back up a few days later with only a marginal decrease in power (I assume dropping a level in Essence will seal off some of her Charms/abilities). Right now, without a Perfect Defense, we're playing rocket tag with everybody. We need the insurance.
