It actually just gets us into the Exalted Hall of Fame, and the key to the city (of Yu-shan). Truefax.
When an Exalt sets out to get REALLY High..
[X] Sorcerer of the Adamant Circle
Well, I've been swayed to this side, but that's like saying I was convinced to eat a awesome strawberry milkshake rather than a chocolate one. I'm glad this whole thing will be decided by arguments. And sad we can't simply have both those stupendous treats.

Exalted 2: Double-Exalted Boogaloo!
Exalted, now with multi-classing!
Will you double-Exalt as a Dragonblooded and try to max out the power of all 5 Elements?
Will you hold life in one hand and death in the other, as a SolAbyssal?
I think that the main reason that people are choosing sorcery is for all the shinies that it offers and the fact that it can potentially prevent the wracking in the future, whatever that is in the belief that it would help creation in the future, but I would like to refute this by saying that though it may help in the future, it is not in character for Odyssial to try to save his slayers.
And Subduer of the Wyld is more appropriate for Odyssial's thematics. He is the general of the Exalted Host and a being focuses on field command. If we had chosen obliterator originally then Adamant Circle Sorcery would have made sense, in fact learning Sorcery would have made sense if we chose to rule the west, but in this case a massive adventure to expand Creation's massivley shrunk borders and creating a bulwark against the wyld, as well as terrifying all Raksha into submission by leading a large portion of the Exalted Host into one of the greatest campaigns since the Primordial War. Plus it is the one that will have the longest lasting impact on creation as it would provide an ablative coat to the Balorian crusade, and Odyssial's own actions might cause the Raksha to even fear Creation.
And most of Odyssial's workings will perish anyway as time goes by, and if we allow Odyssial a perfected reincarnation then that would actually help marginalize Ulyssian as while Ulyssian is similar to Odyssial they have some noticeable differences and I want to keep those differences intact which we can't do if Odyssial perfectly reincarnates.

Scrubs, the true Pro-Game only starts at NG+4. Titanic Exalted! Abyssal/Infernal/Alchemical/Dragonblooded

[X] Subduer of the Wyld
Rihaku in regards to reducing Heartlessness while maintaining enough xp for G10, is it more efficient to accept the heartlessness nerf from Petals or not to accept it and burn xp to reduce heartlessness?
Overall how heartless would Odyssial be at H10 with Petals and Apex compared to the previous unrestrained H9 Odyssial?

Classic newb mistake. Everyone knows the Solar/Alchemical/Infernal/Sidereal build is vastly superior.
Edit: wasn't Greatness 10 at 1,000,000 XP what are we going to do with the additional 400,000, is there anything we can do with it?

It wouldn't shield Creation from the Balorian Cruade because the damage stems from the Great Contagion causing all the wyld reclaimed land to collapse back into the wyld due to a lack of people living in them. We have WoG assurance that some of our Adamant workings will survive to the Age of Sorrows...but none that the wyld crushing army or the territories would even survive the Usurpation, much less the Great Contagion.
It would change how the Crusade goes since the Rakshas would know caution...which is rather worrying actually.
As for saving the Sidereals...taken from a different perspective, Odyssial is simply screwing up the interference of high level sorcerous workings or similar traps laid by the enemies of Creation for members of the Exalted Host, predating the Usurpation. At the time he did it, they were allies.
That they become enemies later is not a known factor to him, especially with his close ties to sidereals.

Not certain at all, since Odyssial's main motivation is his end goal. If letting his slayers live means a safer Creation that will persist for longer, well, that's what he will do, since 'dying' is relative for a Sorceror!Odyssial anyway. Of course, he'd prefer to just stomp them and continue this work by himself, but that's not in the cards, is it?
Either option is something the General!Odyssial would do. War isn't just offense, offense, offense, you know? Improving your contry's defenses, tools and weapons is perfectly viable.
The notes say that some (probably the best ones) will survive long enough for Ulyssian to pick them up.
And wanting to keep Ulyssian separate from Odyssial is fine, but IMO that's not what Odyssial would want, so, yeah.

I am actually against the perfect reincarnation plan. Not only is it somewhat boring (Hereeeeeee's Odyssial...again), its very strongly against 'the rules' in universe as well.
Lytek has his magic bathtub where he scrubs the exaltations clean of memories, after all. How will heaven react to one of the exalts attempting/succeeding at hijacking the system like that? Does the system break down at this? Or is just sort of a "well of course Odyssial would find a way" thing? Or hell is Lytek on board the Odyssial train, considering what the Sidereals did to him? Vengeance is not exactly unheard of in godhood, and he can hardly be pleased at the outcome of the Usurpation on his own station.

Sorcerous workings cost xp...lets make a ton of them.
That build might give you superior support options in a PvE environment, but everybody knows that Solar/Abyssal/Infernal/Lunar dominates the tourney scene. The Sid & DB builds are fine in raids and promote teamwork/buffing allies, but don't work as well in high-essence slugfests. Triple Solaroid with Lunar for added tankiness, that's where it's at.
Remember, kids, if you don't want to fail, go SAIL!

Is there actually a way to get two Exaltations, assuming Odyssial sets that as a goal?
Though that's of course all purely hypothetical, and all such ideas get erased from existence by the God Of Common Sense.

The only thing remotely close to "two exaltations" is Abyssal redemption into Solar, which is the longshot that would make a betting man's career. And even then that's not two exaltations, thats the transformation of one into another. Nothing else comes close (other than Sidereal kung-fu (1) bullshit changing your anima banner, which would be a purely visual effect).

Does it count as a gattai attack if Lea eats Odyssial/Ulyssian?
Maybe if you had two souls? That way you could bond an Exaltation to each one, the perfect gift for the man who has everything.
