Speaking of TDC I was pondering a Malfeas mirror version of TDC and a few add on charms

Resplendent Urban Creature
Cost: --; Mins: Essence 2; Type Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: None

Malfeas is the Ur City, a living metropolis in which thousands upon thousands Citizens rule and uncountable numbers of demon serfs that struggle to survive and thrive. An Infernal who learns this Charm gains the following powers as permanent enhancements to her competence:

Replace the phrase 'a place of desolation' in the Charm Transcendent Desert Creature with the phrase 'an urban environment'; Resplendent Urban Creature is otherwise functionally identical to TDC


Followed by the following Heretical Charms:

Sublime Creature of Creation
Cost: --; Mins: Essence 3; Type Permanent
Keywords: Heretical
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: 3 of Mother Sea Mastery, Resplendent Urban Creature, Transcendent Desert Creature, or other appropriate Yozi mirrors of TDC (eg Szoreny charm focused on Forests etc)

A living fusion of the Yozi's twisted might and the base human material there will come a time when a Green Sun Prince declares her mastery of all Creation. No bog, no cave, no city, no desert, no forest, no plain, no snowy tundra or any other place shall escape his grasp, when this moment comes a great triumphal song shall ring out all across Malfeas as the Yozi's exult momentarily as the Heretic asserts the Yozi's claim upon Creation. What occurs afterwards when the cruel reality sets in remains unknown .

An Infernal gains the following powers as permanent enhancements to her competence:

* The Green Sun Prince suffers no harm from any environment (barring the Wyld or the Underworld) including penalties, environmental damage and sensory impairment. She takes damage or suffers Poison, Crippling, or Sickness effects only when directly inflicted upon him by a characters actions
* Ignores all penalties to movement or footing generated by the environment, able to swing a sword underwater, climb a tree in a raging hurricane, scramble over thatched roofs and other such feats. For example with no other charm but SCoC a fight upon a thin, swaying, iced tight rope bridge during an arctic squall would have a difficulty of +4 (tight rope bridge), the Infernal ignoring the environmental factors.
* TDC's (or its mirrors) benefits expand to cover all environments


Triumphant Titanic Creature
Cost: --; Mins: Essence 5; Type Permanent
Keywords: Heretical
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Sublime Creature of Creation, Ego-infused Pattern Primacy (or other anti-Shaping charm)

Primordial's be they tormented Yozi, traitorous Gaia or sickly Autocthon are perfectly at home both within the Deep Wyld, Creation or long forgotten Mu. Green Sun Princes who have successfully internalized this aspect of Titanic nature are now fully capable of existing unharmed in even the most unreal environment barring only the nothingness of Oblivion.

An Infernal gains the following powers as permanent enhancements to her competence:
* Suffers no negative effects or penalties from exposure to the Wyld, the Underworld or any other environment barring Oblivion. Only effects directly inflicted upon him by another character can try to Shape her with an additional difficulty of (Infernal's Essence) added to the attempt.
* Respires and regains Essence without penalty no matter where they are
* The total penalty for starvation, thirst, sickness, or even breathing cannot exceed -2, her metabolism no longer producing any wastes (including fouled air). Only Charms directly inflicted on the Infernal by another character can bypass this effect.
* Adds (Essence) bonus success's to any attempt to forage, move safely, navigate, or shelter in any environment. Attacks however do not gain bonus successes.
 
Umm just a note but the Underworld scares the living CRAP out of Yozi/Primordials, there is no way in Oblivion they are anymore 'suited' to it then they are Oblivion.. Even the Ebon Bloody Dragon needs to convert himself into a more necrotic version of himself (a potential vision of The Dragon That Was perhaps?) before he can move amongst it. If he wasn't locked away at least.

A primordial charm that would grant that sort of capability would need a downside as bad as that, like Autocthons cancer or the Madness of Oramus (the only three that might potentially feel at home there). The Underworld is Unnatural, created by the Death of Primordials, something that shouldn't have happened, should have been impossible in the creation they forged.

This alone is way too much for a single Essence 3 charm.
It takes Solars 3 charm purchases to get an Indefinite immunity to environmental damage for 10m. It takes another charm to get an active defense against Crippling effects, and a fifth charm to get a scene-long immunity to Poison and Sickness.

Actually it takes only 2 charm purchases for Solars to get the same benefit. Reread Element-Resisting Prana. The other charms are only needed to defend against intentional effects, which SCC also doesn't cover. Now not requiring a mote commitment is nice, but OTOH it doesn't work in the Wyld or the Underworld, which may or may not be an issue in any particular game.

True, I've got no problems at all editing it. Actually that makes it kind of fun

"Primordial's be they tormented Yozi, traitorous Gaia or sickly Autocthon are perfectly at home both within the Deep Wyld, Creation or long forgotten Mu. Green Sun Princes who have successfully internalized this aspect of Titanic nature are now fully capable of existing unharmed in even the most unreal environment barring only the necrotic essence of the Underworld. In the Underworld under the agonizing glare of Oblivion even the most stubborn Titan shudders at the true horror that resides there and attempts to drown out the necrotic essence with their own in panicked terror even as madness claws at them.

* Respires and regains Essence without penalty no matter where they are; however upon entering the Underworld Green Sun Princes immediately begin respiring and regains Essence at double the normal rate. Each day that passes in the Underworld causes the Infernal to gain a point of limit, inside the city of Stygria itself this increases to a rate of once per hour, and down among the Neverborn at a rate of once per scene. Upon entering limit break the Green Sun Prince will do everything and anything in their power to flee the Underworld.

Eh I wanted the Wyld resistance to be the capstone, a way of going "You are now a Titan; the Wyld is a but a stage to shape to your will. A stage filled with lots of asses who will try and stab you, but a stage none the less."

Well, if you want to be really accurate, it takes Solars 3 charm purchases, Essence 6+, and adding a clause to the charm saying that it doesn't protect against environmental damage deliberately caused by other characters.
 
Ok, I know I had this somewhere, but I cannot find it for the life of me.

I know someone at one point wrote up alternate Limit Break for the Infernal Exalted, due the canon ones being pretty terrible.
 
A slot opened up in my pbp game because one of the players left. If anyone wants to play a Zenith, first one to have a complete sheet, background, and reason to be in Nexus gets the slot.
 
Reposting from SB:
DEATH-BED GARDEN (8m, 1wp; Simple; Instant; Decisive-only): The Chernozem are life born from death, but they are not the only one to do so. Sending a surge of life bending essence through a corpse, she creates a grotesque living creature made from the organs of her target. The creature has the stats of an animal of the player(or if the Liminal is an NPC, Storyteller) choosing and last for one scene or one hour outside of combat, the creature is perfectly loyal to the Liminal and if created mid combat rolls Join Battle normally. This charm can only be used on a living creature if the Liminal fill it's Incapacitated health level with lethal or aggravated damage. If the target is an undead , reduce the cost by three motes and if its corpse waive the willpower cost too. The Storyteller should use common sense on what the Liminal can create from her victims body, a normal human body lacks the necessary mass to create a Tyrant Lizard analogue after all.

Uhh yeah first homebrew ever. Criticism desired.

So after a full night's sleep(/actually checking the help pages) it seems the problem was fixed by simply clicking on the white box and clicking delete. It truly is the future. This should work.

Why an animal, rather than turning the body into a zombie or something similar? I guess I don't really see how mid-combat Frankensteining leads to human shaped bears or wolves or what have you.

On the other hand, I do see how this could be the basis for some interesting Liminal familiar charms...

Abyssals already have a zombie charm. Also it's less mid-combat Frankensteining and more mid-combat Necromorphing, and really fighting someone who looks like a Resident Evil Disney Princess is much cooler.

Done! I was rather confused at first if it should be Simple or Supplemental. Really i'm just making this since the Liminal charm-set lacks non combat uses(I mean seriously no Social charms at all?)

... What?

Are you talking about the Core Book leak, or something else has been revealed?
