We can only hope she holds them gangland style, and yet actually manages to hit anything with them thanks to the magic of Exalted.Yog said:After rereading 5.5, I feel a terrible need to comment on it (because there are so few comments about it). So: Taylor learns to shoot with her off-hand. Two guns at the same time next, I guess.
Well yeah but I can't imagine that helps at all for forming healthy or humane relationshipslogiccosmic said:
Yep - exalts with relevant skills get to do shit like that. Hell, about the only movie/game gunfight trick that you need more than excellencies + skills for is shooting down bullets - which is perfectly valid charm tech.Guile said:We can only hope she holds them gangland style, and yet actually manages to hit anything with them thanks to the magic of Exalted.
Hell, she'd probably get a stunt bonus.
Won't she be eable to do that eventually? Shoot a gun out of a hand and shot juggle it?Essex said:The funny thing is that, since Taylor shot the one guy in the arm and he dropped his gun in response, she may now feel encouraged to try shooting guns out of peoples' hands.
Yep. Celestial exalts with high skills and excellencies treat physics as suggestions BEFORE specialist charms come out to play.Larekko12 said:Won't she be eable to do that eventually? Shoot a gun out of a hand and shot juggle it?

Siberian does that already.illhousen said:Also, custom Charms are your friends. I shudder to think what Adorjan's training Charms would look like, by the way. "I shall hunt you down and cut you bit by bit until you improve your Athletic rating", I would guess.
Training isn't in Adorjan's thematics so most likely such Charms wouldn't be found there.illhousen said:Also, custom Charms are your friends.

Can't by Rage Recast, when coupled with some other charm grant Taylor's dollowers her mutations? And are there any other mutation / skill granting charms? Also, awakening people's essenses (whkch is also a mutarion, I think).XenonPrime said:Malfeas training charms = "I'll stop beating you WHEN YOU STOP SUCKING!"
Yeah, suuuuuuure~Hazard said:Training isn't in Adorjan's thematics so most likely such Charms wouldn't be found there.
right? And why Broken Soul Wisdom isn't one of her Charms, right?Her depredations inspire heroes to reach their full potential through the crucible of tragedy, invariably ruining their lives in the process. Greatness is the worst curse her touch imparts.
Dragon and Defiant already have that nickname out of universe though so it might get a bit confusing if Defiant ever becomes a thing.illhousen said:
Adorjan's themes would support training Charms but only in that they include releasing intimacies, motivations and other things until eventually you let go of everything (and have become a master in all things).EarthScorpion said:
Cecelyne does have the thematic space for more 'traditional' training Charms on top of Verdant Emptiness Endowment though.illhousen said:
And that Grue has dibs on those for It Is Dark - Kimbery training, mutating and healing charms are pretty much the same thing.Scya said:Well who needs to train people when kimbery charm enable you to make your followers into captainamericactuhlu?
Ignoring that it would be horrible out of character for her of course.
Well of course the sea is quite versatile after all. And honestly It is Dark Taylor needs the help more then this one, or Imp...whatever evil think happend to her.pheonix89 said:And that Grue has dibs on those for It Is Dark - Kimbery training, mutating and healing charms are pretty much the same thing.
It is dark Taylor is gonna wind up being fucking TERRIFYING by the end of the fic. Sleeping with a Kimbery-favoring, craft:Genesis-using Infernal with one hell of a motivator to get good at augumentation and medicine? Yeah, that way lies massive biotech upgrades and shenanigans. Hell, that thing Tagg put in about treating her as if she was two ranks higher in every area including ones she didn't have will probably come true.Scya said:Well of course the sea is quite versatile after all.

Aleph said:[Killing a Deathlord with GET] is, rather, a fairly effective way of demonstrating how, when solving problems with violence, Exalted tend to do it by turning them into a different kind of problem.
Adorjan is an excellent teacher, who spreads her wisdom as liberally and thoroughly as she can. Given her nature, this tends to involve tragedy, loss and madness on the part of her pupils, even as they grow in power - but it's still teaching.Hazard said:Adorjan's themes would support training Charms but only in that they include releasing intimacies, motivations and other things until eventually you let go of everything (and have become a master in all things).
Admittedly that has its uses, but unless you are trying to create a population of ascetic hermits I don't see how it helps you.
