[Exalted, ?] Most High

I don't want odyssisal to overshadow Uly. Having Uly get his memories is unquestionably going to overshadow Uly own journey, as with 10G, as well as the number of years odyssisal lived, even a small portion of his experiences is going to have a large impact on Uly. We have already chosen so many options that increase the weight of Odyssisal existence, including choosing a free pick instead of increasing Uly growth rate.

Odyssial wont overshadow Uly because they are in the end the same soul. It is as have been said a fusion rather then an overwrite and even then we will start with few memories in the case of a perfect reincarnation. I really dont see the problem with this as we are pretty much getting the chance of having the cake and eating it to.
 
I'm sticking with Peerless City because I feel it combos well with the themes we chose: the general, the war against the Wyld.

That said, it would be quite interesting to look at the Reincarnation as 'things about Ulyssian that get him into Seacrown'. Dragonblooded versus a man that is simultaneously a mortal and the greatest exemplar and luminary of the First Age.

Ody/Uly would be so frustrated that he can't chart the course of nations and probabilities anymore.

"No! You're doing it wrong! When I commanded the host of one million within the Peerless City, I-"

Hey, there's a thought. If we pick Peerless City, which ensures no abuse of any kind among all of Ody's territories, plus Reincarnation, would Ody/Uly be super annoyed with the hedonism of the Dragon's chosen?

Considering that he lived during the First age with all the weird shit that solars and the rest did there? Not more then he already was.:p

Yes there is a fusion, but one part of the fusion is going to have more "weight" then the other. Even if mixing two colours together gets you a new one, when one colour is in far greater quantities, the new colour would unquestionably to biased to it. Just because they fuse does not mean that both parts would have similar presence in the new being.

Maybe that's why Uly doesn't instantly get all the memories and power of Ody straight away. Because it's a fusion in more than the legalistic literalist sense.
 
By tolerate you of course mean "inflicted terror comparable to the effects of the Great Curse" on them, right?
We'll see. It's still not a certainty! I will support the Peerless City to the very end.

No.
Odyssial reincarnating perfectly will not remove Ulyssian's memories, nor will it bury them under Odyssial's own emotions.
He would only remember the snippets you've seen, at the outset. Maybe a couple more.

There won't be 'more' weight to one than the other. Both sides have important memories and emotions attached to them. It will be the same soul and consciousness either way, the only question is whether Ulyssian will remember how much of a badass he was previously, and whether he'll have those memories explaining the weirdness that is his life to him.
It's weird seeing people separating Odyssial and Ulyssian, as if they're strangers that coincidentally have the same nifty thing called a 'soul' attached to them. They're not. Ulyssian is Odyssial, the only variation is how much Ulyssian realizes. Giving him some of the memories is simply more efficient.

Not even really a fusion. They always were the same underlying personality, given the same information and capabilities, they would take the same actions. A perfect reincarnation would be one that has the same memories, personality and the underlying skills...without the built up pressure of the Great Curse twisting things.

They have always been the same person except one is jaded and numb to horrors, and the other, even with all the memory and experience, would be horrified at what he had done in the past.

Two paintings of the same color, same things, but one has been left out in the weather for years.

One quick thought: isn't this probably the second to last Epoch? I would think the Usurpation itself is one. If this guess is wrong, nevermind the following.

If we go up to Heartlessness 10 and use the Most High option in this update we won't be able to get another choice in the Usurpation if we really want to. Not to mention being at Heartlessness 10, the downsides of which I don't think anyone has really considered or weighed against how the 'benefits' of the choices we've been making may actually play out.

Something to consider.

this is the last one.
 
I would be okay with anyone managing to kill Odyssial only if in taking him down he managed to break the traitorous dragon blooded and kill dozens of sidereal. Though the fact that he still has loyal dragon-blooded and from what we have been told, their is a good chance of Odyssial actually leading a fairly successful guerrilla campaign against the traitorous forces.

Many people did argue against maxing Heartlessness, but it's difficult to fight a rising tide. The overwhelming majority of voters seem to prefer 3 options.

[X] Thrown - A long-ranged engagement option focused on dealing colossal burst damage early on. Likely will synergize extremely well with Stealth. Carries on Odyssial's legacy of slings and throwing knives, the weapons of a more brutal and primeval time.

Current tally.

Three most popular choices in order are

[SV] The Fairest (Which is locked in)
[SV] The Lathe of Heaven
[SV] Reincarnation Planning

Peerless City currently lags behind slightly by at about 2/3rds the vote that the nearest bottom has - which is Reincarnation Planning.

But both Lathe of Heaven and The Fairest currently have a rather overwhelming majority thus far.
 
Does anyone know a good dice roller that is EX3 compatible? I've still been using Mike Tilly's dice roller, but while it worked fine for EX2, it lacks EX3 functionality.
 
To be fair, there's so many Stupid Dice Tricks that can be done from a fully optimized Third Edition Solar that making a dice program for them would be a huge pain in te ass.

Rolz.org is good for generic rolling though.
 
I wonder how the Lathe will work on exalts with the past lives merit or something like it. We know the terror might work on the Deathlords but the Infernals dont scrub of their shards like the Solars and Lunars do right?
