Were never going to be a full crafting build of that's what your worried about. Were swords all the way down.
That being said.
Money, equipment, tools...
Getting shit is helpful, even if you arent a crafting build.

Here is the post.
Edit: This is also useful to extrapolate backwards. If technology rolls is needed to make Tech Prodigies, then similarly, technology is needed to make mundane equivalents.
Like how Craft is both magic and mundane blacksmithing.

We also have occult five. Used to make Foci and the like. Potions, etc.
@Valkhir We dont have the charms to make any of those things, and were probably never going to. Those are major magic item creation rules.
Edit:
I suppose if you say your extrapolating backwards. Not that we have much or any tech or computer literacy.

Yeah thats why I don't mind it.
Its more a caution against thinking we can do all this tech and computer stuff with it with our anemic or nothing Ability scores.
Edit: There was talk of making machines or computers. We wont be able to with our scores imo. Thats it.

A quick question.
The charm is silent on if it loops into Agg Damage or not. So does this mean, once our Incapacitated health box is marked with lethal damage, we literally cannot take more damage?
Same with By pain Reforged. It does not say that the damage loops into Lethal, only that the effects do not occure.
Does this mean that if we pass the will save, we literally cannot die unless Agg damage is done?

I know Bashing rolls over into Lethal naturally otherwise you couldn't kill Vampires with 5000 assault rifles because they soak it as Bashing.
I don't remember if Lethal rolls over. My first instinct says yes, but I am not sure.

I don't think so.
The Charm says only Agg damage can kill us, so I assume they mean it.
That would be cool.
It also makes me desire Rage Recast even more. Never assume we are the only one with a specific kind of magical effect.
An example exists already anyway, the Loup-Garou. We'd need Agg damage to immobilize it or it would regen or just continue on, I think.
Think it did. Or at least it did in Exalted 2e when I played.

....hmm, I'm not saying that crafting magical or non-magical utilities or equipments is something that we shouldn't do, it's just that as a long-time WhiteWolf Player (as some of you guys are) I know that White Wolf Crafting system suuuuuuucksss. It's bad in 2e, it's bad in Mage, and it's even worse in 3e (Skyrim 10,000 daggers anyone?). The fan community's first response to any system WW ever conjure that revolves around Crafting is to tear it down from the ground up and use Homebrewed mechanic.
I have a bad experience with Exalted's Crafting system and I will always refer to Revlid's Homebrew Crafting than whatever trite White Wolf made. White Wolf can't make a Crafting system worth a shit.

Dp posted homebrew for artifact creation. I expect they will cover more... usual equipment as well.
Making stuff from Dresden Files books is the real treasure here honestly. As nice as armor, guns, and grenades are.
Edit:
Also you picked craft favored. Why if you dont like it?

It means that so long as you are not attacked with Aggravated Damage, even if your Health Track is FILLED with Lethal or Bashing Damage, you will not die. That's it. End of story.
The only downside is that you'll be spending a long time recuperating from all those injuries, but hey. At least you're not dead.
It's what the folks wanted at the time. Again, I am fine if people wanted us to Craft items, I just have bad experience with WW Mechanics 'tis all (but then again, it's WW, so what's new?).

Ego-Infused Pattern Primacy can heal that Lethal track pretty fast, honestly. If we're at the point where we're buying By Agony Empowered, we should have that.

I thought this was based on V20 and the other old world systems. Do Exalts not wrap around or bump off damage?
Edit:
Alright. If were using the vampire system we can eat an infinite amount of lethal damage with that charm. As long as we dont take a single point of Agg.
That's completely fucked though and I would house rule it out in a heartbeat.

I know Exalts wrap around Bashing to Lethal to Aggravated. I just think that if you use By Agony Empowered you can NOT wrap around from Lethal to Aggravated. Only Bashing to Lethal. You needed to use exclusive Aggravated attack damage dealer to deliver coup-de-grace.

So would not "By Pain Reforged" do the same except for Bashing to lethal?

It does not specify as such, but vampire rules say we can.
Wouldn't be the most fucked thing in Exalted tbh.
I remember there was a combo, or multiple that made you immune to any non-Agg damage.
The one I remember was using a Hearthstone that turns Lethal damage to Bashing which usually only effectively doubles your HLs.
If you used it with Laughing Wounds Style it got funny, because that can just categorically make you immune to Bashing rolling over and you turn wound penalties to bonus dice.
So you better pray the user is a CoD so Holy works, you yourself have some combo or Agg or King of Thieves Spirit to steal their item from them in combat or get fucked.
And agg was relatively rare as fuck. Transcendent Anathema is THE most cost effective and simple Agg outside Protean claws Ive seen.

Nah, By Pain Reforged just make sure that we would incur the least amount of penalties when we are injured, not immunising us wholesale.
Yes, and By Agony Empowered allows us to not be Wrapped into Aggravated damage so long as it is still active.
When the Scene ends however, that's when we could be affected.
Imagine, if you will:
By Agony Empowered + Ego-Infused Pattern Primacy, + The City Still Stands
We will be like Dark Souls boss, and we STILL haven't pop our Shintai.
Plus Viridian Legend, Scar Writ and Ox bodies.
Infernals still tankiest Exalt types.

It's a 5 Dot charm from the "I'm damn near immortal" Hell tree.
I don't see it as too out there to be unkillable by most weapons.

They really are, even in 2e/2.5 Exalted, Infernals are THE tankiest Exalts of all, I have said this. Their Ox-Body Technique gives them the highest amount of Health Level Boxes than any other Exalts at base level.
... not that it matters anyway, Perfect or Die.

With City Still Stands we automatically pop our Shintai.
And then we can use Unbound Eschaton Shintai if our health-track fills out in that form.

Can you elaborate please? Because I do not see it as the charm is silent on if it prevents Lethal Looping into Agg and as per V20 Lethal Loops into Agg.
