This is completely true. The currently missing parts in what I consider necessary for a proper paranoia build are a Flurry breaker, a Shaping Defense, and Call the Blade, because her Dodge DV is shit. She does not have a full 2/7 filter, with no step 7 effects at all, but does have both a surprise negator and a perfect parry. I can skip the Shaping Defense against these 5, because they are Chargen Immaculates, who each have the Immaculate Enlightenment Charms, and the first five Charms of their style, none of which are bad touch. I can also skip Call the Blade by having her appear with blade in hand. By not filling those gaps in her Charmset, I had a good explanation for how she was taken down and her equipment recovered to use here. Meanwhile, skipping the flurry breaker gives them a better chance to actually beat her, since she will be vulnerable to multiple attacks if they spend their loyalty dice efficiently to make each of them deserving of a perfect. If I fill those holes in with the two Charms freed up by free Excellencies, even if it won't affect this fight I have no idea how she was taken out, because I really don't think they'd use the weapon of a Solar who actually needed a full Hunt for anything, but I don't know what less would take her down.
Storyteller damage scales don't map gracefully to Warhammerish damage scales.
Are you trying to map from 40K, from the tabletop RPGs, or from the novels? Because each of those things will give you very different answers about the durability and combat prowess of a Space Marine compared to a normal human.
Novels.
Actually, I would put it at strength 7. I think.
They have a higher maximum for Physical Attributes.
Question: was this while they were wearing the power armor that AFAIK they wear just about constantly?
I believe that he wasn't wearing power armour at the time.
Yeah, but so is taking low end feats. Because if that is the case, then a man with a wooden spear can kill a chaos space marine.
Hint: Not at all.
Anyone mind critiquing this? It like the fourth or fifth charm I've made, and I'm not to sure how balanced/good it is.
So the same mechanism as Solar perfects?
Not getting into the actual mechanics of the charm, since I'm never sure about my own ability to balance things and so I'm not going to go poking at someone elses, but here's some issues I noticed in the Charm Header.
Not even. Look at the 2e core Athletics charms for some good examples
Again, I've never actually played more than a single session, but I like to think it's when they stop having Experience parity. Every supernatural feature costs more XP for Dragonblooded than it does for Solars, and is also weaker, so five Dragonblooded of the same XP level as a single Solar should be able to take them out, although possibly with loses. In the First Age, meanwhile, most of those 300 Solars were thousands of years old, while very few of the Dragonblooded were able to live past 500, even with the life extension techniques available. And, of course, the Solars didn't stop growing.
