Also, would it be possible to create heretical charm that would allow to disregard EB' Witness to Darkness Charisma penalty to Oramus music charms? Or would it be imbalanced?

I will, as usual, just recommend that people use the fan-errata for WtD that @Jon Chung and I devised years ago.

Article:
Witness to Darkness: Replace paragraph beginning with "Finally...", with "Finally, the Infernal is unimpressed with the murk of others' guile, and adds her Essence rating to her MDVs against inherently deceptive social attacks and as bonus successes to recognize or pierce another's deceptions. Her attunement to lies makes it harder to be honest, however, imposing a -Essence internal penalty to all attempts to be honest and straightforward, save when truth brings more pain than lies." In addition, as with Hateful Wretched Noise, the penalty imposed by bright light can be ignored for a scene with the expenditure of 1 Willpower.


Hence, you can play strangely alluring music using Charisma just fine - just remember to have some subtlety in your lyrics, so just don't try to seduce someone while singing "Love me, love me, say that you love me".

The correct lyrics are Em evol ouy taht yas, em evol, em evol anyways.

They're birds that lay Fabergé eggs - and like Fabergé eggs, they involve ruinous taxation (well, theft often) to produce them since their makers literally eat money.

Also, independently, they're a more classical "avarice demon" that a demonologist might summon because they want to be wealthy, but might well beggar themselves keeping it fed because it eats Resources 3 a day so you need to already be rich to keep it fed without having to engage in PLOT STUFF to keep your bird that lays the golden eggs happy.

Is there a place where all of your Yozi/Exalted writing lives or for that matter your publicly available writing collection?

So singing "you and me baby we ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel" is right out eh.

So, yes, it's a feature, not a bug, that they "justify" Realm oppression and are also weak to oppressive overreactions and indiscriminate purges. Kimbery's organisational stuff is slow and corruptive and takes over from within - and can be burned out with fire.

The fact that Kimbery has all those mutation and Deep One/Lovecraftian undertones and is weak to things like BLACKWATCH and the classic PC response to Lovecraftian horrors (blow up everything. EVERYTHING.) is doubly great.

And now i need to add kimberian GSP with metagos favoured to the list of character concepts i want to play but never will.
 
So this may be a dumb question but does raising a favored/caste ability from * to ** only cost 1xp? While the costs for raising abilities is (Current Ranking*2) and you get a 1xp discount for favored/caste abilities that does seem a bit odd considering that acquiring the ability costs 3xp. Given that the jump from * to ** indicates that you've moved from being a beginner to being considered competent in your field in universe.

Yes. That's one of the weird things about the Storyteller system, even without Exalted's discounts coming into play, it's always been easier to get the second dot of something than the first.

On the contrary, this is completely logical, seeing as how it takes 12 years to complete a high school education but a mere 4 to complete a university degree. :V
 
Some places split school into elementary and high school. For example here in Australia, I did Primary school that was Prep and then grades 1-6, and then did high school for 7-12. However other places have middle school between primary/elementary high school.
