Alright, fine. I can work with that. But what about this action?spudman said:
Glorious Revolutionary Re-education:
[] Talk to Iris in private to let him know that you need to keep your status as an Alchemical Exalted a secret. Explain to him that this country is very different from the society on Autochthon, having no knowledge of Authochthon or Essence-based physics. Emphasize that revealing your true nature now could cause significant problems with the PRT and other local authorities.
- [] Stunt: After explaining the need for secrecy regarding the origin of your powers, teach Iris English while we read to him by reading the same sections in English and then translating the same phrase to Old Realm. Try to smooth over his natural outrage at the inconsistencies, redundancies and room for misperception in the language while we do so.
- [] Stunt: Introduce Iris to the Protectorate and Ward members in the base, to reduce the possibility of unfortunate accidents.
I seriously think we need to do this, otherwise Iris may end up causing trouble for us.

With A Little Help From My Friends:
[X] Spend time with a Wards/Protectorate member
- [X] Stunt: Girl's night in with Missy, available female Protectorate members, and Dragon in the common room. Messages by email or swarm speak depending on if they're on base at the moment the messages are sent. Required materials to bring are junkfood, pajamas, and (in Dragon's case) a cheesy movie we can laugh at. Missy can model her new outfit.
- [X] Stunt: Keep our own physical activity to a minimum (without freaking people out with bugs), because we need to catch up on rest to fully recover our physical injuries. Conversation can include asking for advice on the boy's advances, especially during this time when a lot is happening.

Because the choices we make with regard to Virtues will have a serious and permanent affect on how Taylor handles difficult situations, whether in or out of combat. We can't remove dots in Compassion if Taylor ends up doing something foolish because she was pushed to do so by her high Compassion score.cenotaph said:

Do you understand how the Exalted System works? Virtues sound good, but in this case, they can also have very significant drawbacks. For example, if Taylor has Compassion 5, the highest level you can get for a Virtue, that would mean she would be extremely hesitant to take a lethal shot at people like the Slaughterhouse Nine if they had any civilian hostages with them. And with the S9, there are guaranteed to be casualties; they are monsters in every sense of the word. But with such a high Compassion score, Taylor may be rendered incapable of acting where it really counts, ultimately causing more problems (and likely more casualties) in the long run.cenotaph said:

Does having equally high dots in the other Virtues do anything to offset this?BobTheNinja said:
Also, how do we raise our Attributes? Are those static outside of chargen and Aug Charms?
Equally high dots in multiple virtues just means we have to supress one no matter what. And attributes can be raised in a vat, which is where we get new charms.SwiftRosenthal said:

Other Virtues can help balance things out, but having them highly scored would still cause problems for us. I'd rather we not increase them any more than needed.SwiftRosenthal said:
Ninja'd by Cheshire.
Aha, no. They make it worse. When virtues conflict you are forced to suppress one of them to move forward. It's a lose-lose situation. There's a reason the Unconquered Sun sits in his dome ignoring the world all day.SwiftRosenthal said:
High Virtues mandate behavior. Characters can resist, but it comes at the cost of mental stress. Having more than one Virtue at high ratings results in a higher chance of Virtues coming into conflict, meaning mental stress no matter the ultimate choice.SwiftRosenthal said:

I don't want to think that Taylor's choices and actions are determined solely based on game mechanics, but the fact is that Virtues still play a major role in her behavior and mental condition, and if we aren't careful and let her Virtues become too high, it will negatively affect her performance, even if it isn't completely deterministic.
In any case, I think we're already at an ideal level of Compassion. There's no pressing need to raise it further, and we shouldn't waste Clarity or Willpower in order to counteract a level of Virtue that we didn't need in the first place.

Did we ever reach a consensus on what mods we want for our first armor? Naturally, I prefer my loadout for our initial run since we're going to want something that can effectively take what Coil - that cheating, save scrumming bastard - can throw at us. Notably, sniper ambush with AP rounds.
Veekie has a solid build for a mobile reconnaissance suit, although I think we should hold off on that until we can replicate Yoroi Rapid-Response Armor or Armor of the Unseen Assassin so that we can eliminate the mobility penalty completely.
To elaborate on his idea - it's not a bad suit. The problem is that with the Exceptional bonus his plan taps out at 8 Armor. Once you factor in Piercing from AP rounds (-4 Armor) and our natural soak (+3), we have 7 Armor vs the sniper rifles baseline 9L meaning that we're no better off (if not worse, since I'm assuming that our power armor doesn't get the +3 vs bullets that our baseline costume had) than we were during the assassination attempt. Contrast that with an Armor of 12, which winds up after applying Piercing and natural soak at 11 Armor, two greater than the sniper rifle's 9L. That is a much more comfortable place to be.
Naturally we'll want to boost that by getting a tower shield and walking around with that as part of our standard ensemble since having a PDV of 5 on top of Armor 12 makes it insanely difficult for Coil to do much aside from scratching the paint.
Long term though? Yeah, I want a nimble recon suit too. We ought to be like Titania Erza with a suit of armor for every occasion. Preferably we'll design things so that we switch mods on the fly instead of entire suits, but that's up to Gromweld.

I believe we agreed on these three systems at least:FunkyEntropy said:
Motion Assist Exoskeleton
A network of micro-hydraulics, motorized spools and a reinforced exoskeleton taken from Armsmaster's power armor doubles the wearer's ground speed, and grants 1 bonus dot of strength for feats of strength and inflicting damage with attacks.
Hazardous Environment System
A series of insulating materials and modules designed to protect the wearer against exposure to environmental hazards, including fire, electricity, toxic gases and liquids, caustic substances, biological agents, and hard radiation. The wearer has a soak of +14L/17B and hardness 7L/7B against energy attacks, such as that inflicted by heat or flame, plus many powerful ranged First Age weapons (Essence cannons, implosion bows, etc.) and so on. This includes environmental hazards based on energies, such as bonfires, lava, or a critically damaged nuclear reactor core. In addition, the wearer receives a +2 bonus to all Resistance rolls to Avoid Disease and Withstand Poison/Environmental Damage.
Distributed Computer System
A suite of signal monitoring, transmission and broadcasting systems copied from Dragon's work, coupled to a miniaturized, optical computer nodes spread out across the entire suit based off Armsmaster's own suit's systems, this is a full featured data collection, processing and transmission system, with an operating system built in to manage the suit's functions. Interfacing works through a virtual keyboard projected onto the visor's display, which captures finger or Omnitool motions as the input. This gives the user the ability to to detect, intercept and communicate with most forms of wireless communications, as well as the ports and cables for any wired source, granting the user +2 on rolls involving wireless communications and computer systems. This also integrates with the senses of the Tactical Prediction Model Generator, archiving all gathered data and transmissions to the suit memory.
We still need one more. Maybe the Web Crawler module that veekie (I think) suggested? The one where we would have access to Dragon's search algorithms to aid in investigations, both physical and electronic.
Two hours left on the vote, have a vote count. Voting for the suit comes after this set of intervals, I believe.

If they could feel such an emotion, it would be almost a relief for a few of the black widows to spend the time to weave a set of near-ordinary webs that spell out a full translation dictionary between your old and new native languages and mathematics. When they're done, they can then start translating the physics text books that another set of them are reading off the computer.
