Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

That is a plus. And hooray! We saved usum!

@Jack vile Ripper our charm set is legit kind of a mess though. Something to work on later. Along with learning the useful sorceries.

Learning Sorceries wouldn't be an issue, once per story (that is, an Arc in WoD terms) we have the freedom to purchase a spell using EXP.

As for the Charm part, we'll get there when we get there. I am of the mind to save up EXP until we can get Ego-Infused Pattern Primacy. But By Rage Recast is also a good low-hanging fruit to pick.

What do you think?
 
Eh, I'd have liked to get the Wicked City as key, considering a lot of the Krakuri stuff is pure Ebon Dragon dickery and making it Favored is annoying, but I can accept this outcome as long as it's not a gateway to Maximum Dickery.

Nice to see though that I would have been wasting my time trying to adjust to the so called complaints though, since the response to "Okay, I'll address your complaints, but will that actually change your mind" was effectively "Fuck no, this isn't OP enough and I'm just making up an excuse to shoot it down".

I wouldn't pick Witness to Darkness, if that's what you're asking.

Even though that Charm is less severe here as opposed to normal 2e.

It's more that most of the Ebon Dragon stuff really can't be used in a constructive way, while most of the other Yozi stuff is more "Intended to be used in asshole ways but can be subverted if you're willing to do so". And the Wicked City is just much better for our basic character focus of "Ultraviolence + Forbidden Magic"

But whatever, like I said, I'm not completely happy with this, but it doesn't cross any of my redlines, so I'll just suck it up and follow along.

The one that let's us weaken the gauntlet will be all kinds of useful.

The craft one T_T

I like shadow spite curse, even if it's a bit weak.

Viridian exoskeleton. Ox body technique.

A variety of charms for acquiring and managing minions. (Wish granting)

The wish granting charm honestly. Its... it's really good. We can heal with it. Heal people even of crippling and permanent injuries.

That's a big deal.

I agree about the dickery, but I made it very clear I would vote for your plan if you included Usum.

You didnt. I didnt vote for it.

I literally asked the thread hours ago "Hey, if I make this change, will people adjust?" And everyone ignored me, so it's hard to take this hypothetical seriously.

For every person who's memory of loving family and friendship we destroy pets go to a drug den and make some addicts hate drugs. :V

Your right about it having potential for good, but I cant say how well really end up using it.
 
Kakuri has lots of good stuff in my opinion.

Bloodless Murk Evasion as a Perfect Dodge.
Shadow Spite Curse is not bad in general, but the Signature effect where in Shintai any action opposing you has a -3 penalty seems strong as well specifically.

Life-Denying Curse to dunk regenarators and immortals until we can Murder is Meat or Spirit Killer them (or enslave if they count as CoD).

Black Mirror Incarnation is Loom Snarling Deception and we all know how good that is.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot Incarnate Shadow Insinuation. My number one pick in Kakuri and what I would want as a Signature, though its not quite a must.

Thousandfold Typhoon Hand is also similar and a very good alternative.

I would probably switch if the build didnt vote to effectively kill off Usum.

Very not cool. :(
Hypothetically you could have learned this was a problem yesterday.

As I said. You basically had the perfect charm selection for me.

You just left out the one thing we couldnt fix later.

Why did they have to make it so expensive though Q_Q loom snarling deception was almost free!

Not very happy with the build but at least it does not make social impossible in Dresden Files of all settings.

As for a must have charm Source Code Compliance is a must, to shutdown tricky word play.
 
Health Levels: 0/0/0/-1/-1/-4/Inc
That's a very good Health level track. Skin-deep wounds, indeed.
Crafts●●●○○
Crafts doesn't have a space between it and the dots.
Demonic Guide ●●●●● (Demonic Aspect: Demon Weapons; Transcendent Anathema)
We only have Demon Weapons. Not Trascendent Anathema. Well, not yet, until we have By Rage Recast.
Vengeful (Fetches)
You have a score to settle with the spirits of terror for all you have suffered, and given they are monsters that feed on terror you see no reason not to settle it. You may temporarily resist your need for vengeance by spendinga Willpower point.
"spendinga" should be "spending a"
In the Nevernever, Solars, Lunars, Sidereals, Infernals, Alchemicals, and Dragon-Blooded gain 1point of Essence every three hours.
Essence recovery, "1point" should have a spacebar in between.
Daemon Weapon (STR +2 Aggravated Damage)
It's Demon Weapon, not Daemon (as funny as that sounds), also, it only deals (STR + 2 Lethal Damage)

Other than that, you're good DP.
Do our health levels already include By Pain Reforged or not?
Yes, what should've been
0, -1, -1, -2, -2, -5, Inc

Has turned into:
0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -4, Inc.

Character sheet added to the front page. Tell me if anything looks amiss.
Woo! Looks good mostly.

Spoiler: Impervious Primacy Mantlee
Should be Mantle
vengeance by spendinga Willpower point.
Jack got this already.
Nightmares
The memory of your experience in Arctis Tor haunts you, nightmares of what might have been had you not found your power then, not only your fate, but that of your mother and Harry. Upon awakening, you must make a Willpower roll (difficulty 7) or lose a die on all actions for that night. A botched Willpower roll indicates that, even when awake, you still believe that you are locked in a nightmare.
This is terrible. As close as nightmare Fugue vigilance is maybe we should talk with people about this.

It's going to require a lot of positive reaffirmation and psychological help, but we can go through this. Besides, we have Willpower 9, so that's 9 Dice Pool of D10s against Diff 7.
I am kind of surprised you weren't just planning on rushing Nightmare Fugue Vigilance and removing our need to sleep or dream forever.

I would like to try and tackle it.

God knows Harry and our parents have enough experience with going to hellish realms and seeing things that scar their minds and souls.

Dreaming is one of the very few things a human mind takes a primaeval joy in, besides eating and playing. That and it's one of the means where one restore their Willpowers. So if we don't sleep, we can't regain Willpower.
 
Shouldn't we have vice and virtue? And also intimacies?
With Mantle, as long as we go along our Intimacies, nothing could assail our minds.

Urges mean so that we could respire Essence, and not Willpower. And Virtues don't exist here.

There is ONE other means of respiring Willpower for Exalts (well, besides using the Martial Arts on Appendix One), and that is going in accordance with our Nature. Nature is a Vampire 20th Anniversary mechanic, where it is what constitutes your whole self. If your Nature is an Eye of the Storm, you would gain one Willpower every time you are in an event where things have gone to shits. Like being in a city struck by a tornado, a war being waged outside your home, or just general chaos free-for-all Zombie Apocalypse-style.

Our nature would probably be some kind of secret finding thing wouldn't it?

It could be entirely separate from our Urges or it can be in accordance to it.

For example, Molly is an inquisitive sort, yet she is also the sort that would help her friends, even though it would always end badly. So she could have the Nature of Caregiver:
Caregiver
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. A Caregiver takes her comfort in consoling others, and people often come to her with their problems. Vampires with Caregiver Archetypes often attempt, as best they can, to protect the mortals on whom they feed. Nurses, doctors, and psychiatrists are examples of potential Caregivers. Caregiver Kindred are often the type who — tragically — Embrace mortal loves they've left behind in hopes of softening their loss, or even those who create situations of grief in order to ease it and thus validate themselves.
— Regain a point of Willpower whenever you successfully protect or nurture someone else.
If you have V20 Anniversary Edition, look at page 87 and find out which one best suits Molly. Although, I think that DP has already chosen one for us.
