She does not really want to apply supernatural dread, which excellency could well do to a bunch of school bullies however badly their actions could have gone. It was clear from their faces they did not want him to fall at least.

Then again, it would have made for a legendary close to the school year, her scaring the bullies so badly they pissed themselves.
That's the kind of story that gets retold by students for decades.
Ultimately you guys are in charge, if you want to throw literally inhuman amounts of dice at scarring the hell out of a bunch of school bullies you can, just keep in mind that the mortal mind is a fickle and fragile thing and it does not always react to sheer terror as you would expect. Molly learned that with magic already, but even subtler fears might come with their own twisting of the mind.

Tbh fear doesn't work that hot with bullying anyway. Satisfying as it may be.
So how does Molly's melee score actually work out in practice? I mean there are multiple different methods and styles for using even the same type of melee weapon, and she doesn't even have a specialty or anything. She's presumably just as good with an axe as a sword.
So when Molly picks up a weapon, what does her exaltation tell her to do with it?

That's fair. I figured framing could help direct it, but giving them psychological problems wouldn't help.
That will come up in the update but basically... use it to inflict maximum damage on whoever or whatever she is fighting. This applies to any sort of manufactured melee weapon. So it could be a sword or a club, it could be a two handed axe or a dagger. Not that is is relevant to you since your demon weapon is in many ways better than any common implement, but you roll 9 dice no matter what weapon you hold, even if it is so much as a spear with a fire hardened tip. Granted the spear is prone to breaking.

Well in exalted a dot in something covers everything about the subject. A melee 5, is as skilled with their chosen 2 handed battle ax, as they are duel wielding rapiers. Someone with medicine 5, can be any and all types of medical professionals.

So there any future traits or something to artificially inflate 5 dots to 6 for any of our skills?
Unless we're using Shintai, not really.
That's more of a Lunar thing for attributes and for abilities...
There were some traits that could in Exalted 2e like Prodigy (Ability), but I don't think it exists in ExWod and WoD.

No.
We can pick a speciality in a skill, that does not enhance the dice themselves, but allows us to count any 10 rolled as two successes.
So if we pick Melee Specialty: Longsowrd, that gets better.
I think we've been and are using the Exalted type rule, where 10s count as 2 successes anyway?
Similarly to how everyone has Intimacies and Stunts actually do things.

Unless noted otherwise I'm assuming V20.
You could just look at the posts containing links to the rolls of a given update and see that it counts 10s as two succs.
Looking back I think we have been using 10 as 2 successes, I had thought the rolls only counted 2 is the second roll was over the DC but as this shows it's not. Even the 10 that re-rolled 2 was counted a success. I was unfamiliar with the system and that carried over. Seeing as we have done it so far I think we will carry on. This is a somewhat more magical world than WoD if not as much as Exalted.

So we are back to Specialties adding a die to the pool?
Yes
The thing is I have been counting them for everyone.
I get that, I was mostly asking for detail in the direction DP went in with his answer.
Two top tier people with the same weapon could use it in a lot of different ways, the same way unarmed martial arts can be very different from each other.
Take for example two guys who use a gladius back in the days of the Roman Empire. One is the equivalent of a mobster who gets in back alley brawls, the other is a renowned legionary.
Same weapon, same score, two completely different methods.
It sounds like based on DPs response her dots basically represent always knowing how to achieve a particular aim regardless of what the weapon is, so she probably adapts how she uses a particular tool on the fly to a much greater degree than a mortal would.
So all kinds of beings and even extras will use double 10s going forwards?
Hmm... thinking about it I think that fits more for heroic mortals and up, including all magicians, supernaturals and yes all of Molly's family. Chalk it down to being related to Charlemagne and/or living in a house with angels.
That's basically how it was in 2e if I remember correctly.
Heroic Mortals and up. Neat.
