Probably depends on how you refluff it, but seems conceptually sound.

Celestial Circle Sorcery and Solar Circle Sorcery both state that Supernal Occult does not allow their early purchase.

Oh thank god. I mean I'm an idiot for somehow not noticing that note, but still thank god.
Admittedly there is pretty much no reason to take supernal occult, but hey at least people can't start with Unity of the Closed Fist.

I think you're missing the absurd hilarity of someone starting with Death Ray... as their control spell.

I haven't really focused on the combat system yet, so I haven't actually gotten around to checking how potent the various options are in combat. Fusing 5 solars together on the other hand, and allowing the fusion to act on each of their turns worries me far more then anything else, not to mention being able to theoretically cast/prepare death ray 5 times per round!
3e lets Solars have a Supernal Ability from their Caste/Favored List. It ignores Essence prerequisites up to Essence 5 for the purpose of buying Charms exclusively in that Ability Tree. It's supposed to be the most iconic Ability of your Legend. (Well, technically stuff like auto-successes are still limited by your actual Essence score, so...).
Ugh, okay, you guys remember how @greensun got a bit stroppy because of a really demanding player? Well I now know what he went through.
He, the same guy who I won't name, wanted to play a TAW in an Infernal game, which was okay, I could work with that. Except while we largley wanted to play a game where we acted as the A-Team of the Reclamation. Now I know that doesn't make him being a TAW a bad thing, his PC could have been the ear of reason, a lover from a past ETC, it wouldn't be too hard to make it plausible, never mind the simple solution of him being a random Lunar that just decidad to tag along.
No, the problem came when he up started murdering NPCs in the most graphic way possible. He weirded out the rest of the players and made the sensitive guy of the group really upset, like he had to just leave the room.
So yeah, first session as a ST and I've had to ban a player. Lucky me.

It was In person game, like a tabletop, so we'll just deal with two players and a GM. The sensitive guys called it a week though. Poor fucks just not in the mood. @greensun will probably show up if I let him us Az'Ka for the game though.;;;
Uh, you need a replacement?
Good news! greensun's agreed to come and fill in an empty spot. It took a surprisingly large amount of wrangling for me to get him to leave his PC's Hellstrider/Mother in Malfeas, but Az'Ka is coming along to lend her Isidorosian backed muscle for the game.

Sorry to hear that, and I'm glad you've got a replacement player. Have fun!
On a slightly lighter note; the second Kerisgame session is up, for those interested. And anyone who thinks little of Awareness Charms, I invite them to cast their eyes over the sheer bullshit number of successes that Keris can trivially achieve on sensory rolls, all the time, for a relatively tiny cost. She's a human radar station, and her senses are only going to get better.
I'm still not going to get a sight-enhancer, though. I like making ES suffer in having to describe everything in terms of sound or taste or smell. : 3
Also lol, ~6500 words in one night. They're less game sessions and more improvised writing jams, I swear.
Az'Ka(Get it, Az'Ka, Asuka!) maybe big on the collateral damage, with her Hellstrider for a Mother, but at least she's worth a good laugh. And the slaughter of about 10 DBs who weren't expecting a 30 foot tall Evangelion Expy to come out from her Devil-Domain and eat them all and their troops in an orgy of violence punctuated by the mad laughter of Slayer hyped up on liquefied Blood-Ape.
Sorry to hear that, and I'm glad you've got a replacement player. Have fun!
That was cool, like really cool. next time I'm a player I'm gonna grab some of those sensory charms.

I told you he wasn't fun to play with.
And I'm still annoyed that you won't let me bring Az'Ka's mama with me for the mission. Not that I could blame you, Az'Ka and Ki'yoko, the Ravening Storm, are pretty much unstoppable. I mean heck, we once forced an entire Circle of Solars to retreat once(it was an ambush and I gotlucky enough to maim the Dawn caste before he could amp up for the fight)
Uh... I believe a hellstrider is a structure, not an object as it's bigger than a yeddim. So it can't be stored using Devil Domain.

It was a custom Essence 5 upgrade for it that allowed for structure sized objects to be pulled in or out, it takes like an hour to move it each way with mythic ritual so you don't pull out a Hellstrider in combat time. I wouldn't have gotten away with using during that little cluster fuck if the Scourge and Fiend hadn't performed the mother of all delaying actions.

Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind that Devil-Domain upgrade that removes the "smaller than the Infernal" limitation and allows any size of Object to be stored...
greensun

Hang on, I'll get you the version that I got to use, I don't have this written down so excuse the slap-dash approach.
The Infernal can store structure sized objects like Hellstriders, within their Devl-Domain up to limit equal to their Essence score. To do this an Infernal must undergo an hour long ritual in which they draw a ritual circle around the object which requires an Occult-Intelligence roll at difficulty equal to the objects Resource cost or Artifact Level, which ever is more appropriate, and then they must meditate before the object and draw it into their soul.
Unfortunately this was made ad-hock in the middle of the game, so its not the well made.

The bolts too, eh?
Yes.
Yes, she is. Hence why "Uh, well. What do you want to know?" is a thing which gets used pretty consistently because fuck this shit I can't provide 24 successes of information. Sight is a... uh, tertiary sense for Keris.
(Also why Sasi's capacity to assume a soundless shadow-form using Skulking Shadow Shintai which makes Awareness rolls invalid when she's not in direct illumination is one of the few things that can surprise Keris)
…why do I get the feeling that Sasi's used that capability for fun uses in the past.
My other moment when reading that was a 'Aw, she does care' when Keris showed concern for the outcastes. and a chuckle at the callback to her Po's thieving tendencies.
