That is really cool. I think I'm going to keep my vote the same if for no other reason that I'm mildly sure that having an active chaos cult on the face of the world is considerably more dangerous than the world wound is if no other reason then they could do things that might let more demons flow in even if we managed to close the world wound.

Hm, the threat is a social one, and Lorgar is primarily focused on social, after all.

Hmm. I wonder if any of them can be bestowed without using VEE. The three merits for using Quintessence seem like they might be something that a psyker can be taught to do. The others seem more likely inherent traits that we'd need some form of magitech/demonic biothaumaturge to grant. Possibly Iron Will can be taught by things like the hypno-conditioning canon marines amongst others receive.
I think the Four Arguments of Virtue alongside Crane Style have the best thematic resonance with his Mythos.

Glad to see that Lorgar is developing a far more wholesome and coherent belief system.
Analytical Modelling Intuition is also very powerful in social combat against lying demons.
If we'd know about the Vision Quest CCP would have been a more attractive option.

Forgot a Merit so added that and fixed the Psyker requirement.
Yes the 3 can be thought but each takes a lifetime to learn. Lorgar can teach it quicker but still takes years and you need VEE or another training charm to speed it up.
Hmm. When we get CCP we'll have to see if we can create our own lesser demon genies who have versions of the Endowment spirit charm that can grant merits.

Lorgar's character sheet has been updated. He has the Enlightenment Aspect under Holy. Lorgar also has 10/10 Essence, along with the 3 Charms from Solar Hero Style.

Also added Solar Hero Style. He will learn it quick by virtue of being a primarch and having an Archtype of light and Aspect illumination and Enlightenment.
So added it in advance as you do not need AP to teach it to him.

Hm, based on the current trajectory of Lorgar's Mythos development, might it be said that Lorgar is becoming a Buddha figure? At the least, a bodhisattva?
Hmm. So thinking of what styles would probably work well with these aspects:
Crystal Chameleon Style is all about light manipulation
Each of the Four Arguments of Virtue styles could be said to have a connection with faith and enlightenment as Lorgar sees them. Note sure if the Virtues exist here though.
Crane Style has connections with Enlightenment.
In terms of Terrestrial Styles, Golden Janissary has similar connections with light as Solar Hero, and Path of the Arbiter is stated to:
Article: Those who practice the Path of the Arbiter Style only rarely study elaborate moves or intricate katas. Indeed, although she won't ignore her sheer martial skills, an Arbiter's physical training always takes a decided back seat to extended meditation and tests of faith. Anyone can be passionate, but characters with this style have been taught how to concentrate and use their passion.
The Terrestrial Styles would be a lot better if the Solar Hero charm that halves the X cost for them exists.
On that subject though, if we want to invent Martial Arts, do we need to raise our Close Combat ability?
One small potential labour saving option. CCP allows us to create enlightened essence 1 beings. I wonder if they can be created knowing the basics of terrestrial martial arts styles.

So, yeah. This Style is something he can develop.
More on MA on the week end. Both what it is and who can learn what.

I wonder if Lorgar has an Essence rating as well as a Mythos rating.
Mortals in 2E could get up to an Essence rating of 3, but as a demigod, Lorgar may not be so limited.
As a side thought. I wonder if it's possible to grant Colchis' world spirits Enlightened Essence, and what it might do.

As per Lorgar's character sheet, he does have 10/10 Essence.
Yes, he has an Essence Pool of ten like Fan has one of twelve. I'm wondering he has an Essence Rating like Fan is Essence 2.
