The books on the fair folk are really weird and hard to work with.

The ones I saw had some interesting stuff in them.
Celestial compass: The Wyld (and Splinters of the wyld) talk about various places in the wyld.
There was some cool stuff there like a desert with edible sand or the cat forest (you can get artifacts made of cats from there).

Graceful Wicked Masques has good stuff, but it can be very confusing at first and was heavily errated.
If you want to use the raksha as antagonists, it is probably better to just use the generic ones from the core book.

I need to draw some traditional things for Halloween, so I drawn Revlid's Punsovi/Kervoni, again.

I kinda want to give each of them individually title box too, but my title-fu is weak.

That is seriously impressive.

I love the traditional art style you've chosen, and you've pulled it off excellently while really capturing the characters involved.

I can only offer friendship and writing in return – let me know if there's anything you want written up, be it Exalted or otherwise.

I'm still at the beginning of The Compass of Celestial Directions, Vol. I - The Blessed Isle, and theirs something I don't understand, how durable is a Exalted especially a Veteran or Elder Solar Exalted without charms and with Charms, how durable is a newborn Solar Exalted with and without charms, since in early in the story the Solar Exalted got massacred without resistance though I mostly think that their poisoned, ambushed or something, please in Lore wise and VsBattle Durability Ranking

They are around as durable as a heroic mortal, unless they get Ox-Body charms.

In general, Exalts aren't very durable. They have the same amount of Hp as mortals, and are only slightly better at resisting damage than Mortals. However, they
Can buy Stamina/Resistance Charms to make themselves more durable, but in Exalted it's generally better and more efficient to not get hit at all rather than trying to soak damage.

An Elder Solar in the Ursurpation who specced down the Resistance tree will probably have a death Rasputin would be jealous of, but he's still die in the end cause he'd run out of motes (what they call mana) eventually and an Exalted without Motes is basically dead.

In addition, Combat focused Exalts would be an oddity in the days leading up to the Ursurpation, as the Solars were the kings during one of the longest peace time eras in Creation. They didn't need to fight at all pre-Ursurpation, and the Dragon Blooded got the upper hand because they were well trained members of the military who had time to prep and create strategies to kill their Solar masters.

A normal person has 3 health levels. A Heroic mortal has 7.

Anyone like Superman or the flash (comic versions) is going to steam roll the average exalted.

What is VSBattle Durability Ranking? I've never heard that phrase before.

But to make it easier, let me explain.

A mortal with a sword stabs another mortal in the chest. The mortal dies.

A mortal with a sword stabs a newb Solar in the Chest. The Solar survives with one hp.

A mortal with a sword stabs an experienced Resistance Solar. The Sword bounces off his chest.

A Dragon-Blooded stabs a newb Solar. The Solar dies.

A Dragon-Blooded stabs an experienced Resistance Solar. The Solar survives, but with half hp, OR uses a temporary invincibility charm and makes the Sword bounce off.

Not quite right.... A normal person has 7 Health levels, same as Heroics. Extras are an out of universe abstraction so Exalts can cut down armies and make themselves look cooler. In Universe, the Exalt is just doing enough damage to kill an ordinary 7 HL mortal when he kills an Extra.

Or, to put it another way, Extras are the people with the good sense to lie down and stop fighting and instead focus on trying to hold in their intestines when someone stabs them in the gut. Extras who are out of HLs aren't necessarily dead, but they're out of the fight.

Heroic characters are defined by lacking that sort of common sense.

(this explains a lot about Creation)

Their max is Small Building, with an activated power which lets them achieve True Infinity for a single attack.

The true advantage of Exalts is that they can in general block or dodge anything you send at them before they have to worry about their durability.

I see, I know they can reach True Infinitely in Defense for one attack, but I wan't to really know their base durability with or without Charms

... that is super dumb. I really can't believe how many of those rankings are essentially an excuse for argument over which character had a bigger omnipotent wang ascribed to them by their writers.

Fuck the terms "hyper verse" and "outer verse".

So your telling me that they ether dodge an attack using their own agility/speed or use charm to dodge it? no tanking?, I know that their enemies are really powerful but the idea of not able to tank a normal attack from someone equal to them is really stupid and makes them very waste full in stamina and motes if it come to that which makes them really a Glass Cannon

charms.

and own speed.

charms are like when you get so good at something you break physics

mind you, exalted as a whole are more durable than normal humans, and are more likely to succeed at whatever they do. but not that much compared to

Hmm... is it possible for an Exalted especially a Solar to make a Passive Charm that would allow him/her to tank planet destroying attack is he/she put's her mind into creating this Charm?

You'd be amazed at how low my respect for comics understanding of scale goes.

The funny thing is that even at the low end, the scale isn't fit for purpose. Demolishing a large building is largely a question of the placement of your explosives and knocking out load-bearing elements of the structure, not raw energy input. Some well-placed demo-charges can do more damage to a building than a nuclear bomb.

Indeed, notice how large towns that are demolished by earthquakes leave plenty of human survivors. Are we to assume that humans are tougher than towns, because humans can survive earthquakes while towns have more problems with that?

And let's not get started on how inconsistent such feats often are, how characters are frequently concerned about things far below their alleged weight scale, and how high end feats often rely on one off incidents and quotes like "I'M SHOOTING A BEAM THAT COULD DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT IS, WAS, AND WILL BE AT YOU! OH NO YOU BLOCKED IT WOW YOU ARE SO TOUGH".

If you want such a fool's errand, take it to the VS Debates subforum, not here.

Dude what's up with you? it's not like I believe this kinds of things in Vs Debates I only use it as a rough Idea on things like durability and destructive capacities , then how would you classify the durability of an Exalted lore wise then?
