Dramatic Combustion Gesture
Cost: 1m
Mins: Essence 2
Type: Simple
Keywords: Obvious, Sorcerous
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Green Sun Nimbus Flare
It is beneath the King of Hell to take up arms against his lessers. With but a dismissive wave, he shows them their true worthlessness. With a snap of his fingers or a wave of his hands, the Infernal may set any mortal within (Essence) yards on fire, causing them to spontaneously combust in a blaze of green flame. Extras die immediately; heroic mortals instead take damage as if they had suffered the secondary burn of the Infernal's Green Sun Nimbus Flare, and suffer any effects that may be associated with it. Exalts and other characters with awakened Essence can never be affected by this Charm.
A second purchase of this Charm at Essence 4 allows the Infernal to turn his wrath against armies. Mass units become a valid target for this Charm, so long as they have a Might of 0 and are led by a mortal. Mass units composed entirely of extras immediately lose (Essence) dots of Magnitude when set ablaze by this Charm, dying in droves. Mass units led by or including heroic mortals are instead damaged as per the normal effect of this Charm on heroic mortals. When used against mass units, this Charm costs 5 motes and has a range of (Essence x 50) yards.
I think I love this charm. Just snapping your fingers to do away with annoying extras.

Burning a whole company without any kind of possible defense for 1m looks too good.
I would increase the cost when used against mass units.
Looks good to me.

Anyway, I am currently working on the Oramus Charmset, to remove all imperfections and better it. For now I am concentrating on the Social Tree, which is mostly done. However, even when I am done I would like to someone more knowledgeable in Exalted, maybe even our very famous members Revlid and EarthScorpion, to also judge it. It is, indeed, my secret dream to make it into a compiled and ordered list that others will be able to use in official games. While we all know that 3e is coming out, I don't doubt many will keep using 2e for a while, for the simple reason it existed for longer and had a lot of people endlessly brainstorming on it.
And even then, it would still be doable to change it into an appropriate 3e form.
Would you all help me?
Of course.

Only when they're extras. It's literally not like they do anything anyway.

I'm pretty sure there are Malfeas charms that extend Viridian Legend Exoskeleton to your mount, which can be applied to vehicles. Add on SWLIHN charms & Modern Malfeas charms and you have yourself a tank that turns into a telekineticly propelled Doom Fortress powered by hate.

I just had a thought, if Yozi can create personal versions of other Yozi's charms, could a Yozi create a personal version of an Infernal's Heretical charms? Because if Oramus is being kept imprisoned by his own wings then it might be a way for him to get around his own thematic limitations.
The idea is as such: Malfeas self-harm + Ebon Dragon escape = self-inflicted wound penalties to grant temporary freedom from restictive effects.
Another idea is a reversed version of the Devil Domain charms to affect the world via your external projected souls as proxies, thereby allowing Oramus a method to partially circumvent his own wings.

Hypothetically? Maybe. It would take them a long time though - Yozis don't make Charms nearly as fast as Exalted do.
However, even if they could they would be very wary of doing so. The Charms that simulate the effects of other Yozis aren't something they take only lightly, as doing so can dilute the themes they represent and 'lessen' the Yozi for it. Heretical Charms are made by mixing the Charms of different Yozis, so a similar problem would likely occur.
Here it is. Page 182 of Shards.
So, this Charm adds a bunch of soak to any vehicle you own permanently.

Well, the thing is IIRC, Yozi adapt charms that they can make Thematic to their own Charmset. Isidoros has a version of Viridian Legend Exoskeleton probably, but it creates armor of his own black hole skin, rather than bone or brass for example.
And it probably weighs a lot, too.

Does not have a custom title.
Alright, so we've got Witness to Darkness. That means we can have a look at all the interesting TED charms now. I've underscored the ones I personally think we should pay particular attention to.
Eldritch Secrets Mastery- We can disguise facts about ourselves. Nifty for when we start interacting with those who know what's going on and want to hide our nature.
Inner Devils Unchained- Make people(or appropriate animals) into demons with their original memories, motivations and intimacies. Some of the cultists would probably go for it, at least the temporary version. Good way to gain access to demons without summoning and having to wait 5 days.
Cornered Titan Desperation- YES. We so need this. It meshes well with Dho-Nha Angles, and once we gain access to Play the Music, See the Lights, our close combat attacks basically become 'pay 2/1/0m(depends on essence level), your attacks are unexpected and can be used for any TED charms designed to boost ranged attacks'. Many Perfect Defenses will be useless against us.
Seeing Is Blindness-Nifty attack addition. Blinds people. More importantly, it unlocks other cool charms.
Damning Petulance Technique-Reduces the enemy's attacks if they don't stunt.
Kill Feint Cleverness- If our charm-based attacks miss, we can spend 1 Wp to get the motes back.
Agony Of Unwise Adversity-Debuffs enemies. Is one of the ranged attack modifiers that works with Cornered Titan Desperation.
Noon As Night Evocation-AoE blindness. Can also be used to apply certain other charms simultaneously.
Life-Blighting Emptiness Attack- Boosts ranged attacks or stuff aided by Cornered Titan Desperation. Deals additional piercing damage and adds motes to an Overdrive pool based on that damage. With this, our Dho-Nha Angles attacks could pay for themselves.
Life-Denying Hate- An enemy we've hurt can't heal. Spirit-killing attack. Additional charms prevent essence, then willpower recovery.
Spite-Fed Wounding Nimbus-Makes Life-Blighting Emptiness attacks deal levels of damage rather than dice.
Sweet Agony Savored-Gives an overdrive pool to be used with LBEA.
Nemesis Self Imagined Anew-Turns us into an inverted copy of an enemy. Social advantages, basis for other charms.
Puissance Mimicry Intuition-Lets us copy the charms of others by using Nemesis Self. As a Fiend, we can use this as a way to learn foreign techniques.
Black Mirror Shintai- Among other things, enables perfect impersonation. Nifty, as with all Shintai.
Golden Years Tarnished Black-Alters the memories of others. Used to manipulate others. Basis for various similar charms.
Warped Truth Lens- Lets us alter digital recordings.
My Dark Lady- Multiplies Appearance bonuses. Very useful for us since we have 'Beautiful in his way'. Also ridiculously flavourful given Lelouch's crush.
Darkling Grace Complete-Pantheon charm. Gives us the ability to do performances anywhere.
Moral Chains Cast Off- Lets us train others.
Brooding Resentment Defense- Makes UMI Obvious to us. Provides us a way to throw it off. Canon CG would have been very different if Lelouch had this.
Unforgivable Wickedness Pardons- Get away without paying the consequences of our actions. Pretty cool.
Which ones do people really like? Also, does anyone want to do a reccomendations list for the Malfeas charms? Once we've done that, we can plan the order of things we want to grab.

This is incredibly late, but I just couldn't find the time.
Well I guess it's the last thing anyone would expect.
Did the Ebon Dragon plan this?
Now this comes from the subsoul of the Ebon Dragon, who is known to be a liar. As such, this is suspect information.
But if some of the Yozi were aware of what Lelouch would have done in canon, then...yeah, another reason Oramus chose Lelouch.
....what? What? Why?
Well I guess it's the last thing anyone would expect.
Oh, I can tell where this is going.
I'm more amazed that there is a proper way to say "YOU'RE INSANE" in Malefas.
And somehow in spite of ourselves we charm/amuse another Yozi subsoul.
"Hello, Lelouch."
Did the Ebon Dragon plan this?
Hmm...

And we just impressed/amused another Yozi subsoul. What the helli. And agreeing that this will probably screw us over in the long run, cause that's how Eddie rolls.

Well it could have been worse.

So... does that mean other Yozis posesses their own version of Hardened Devil Body? Yozis like... Metagaos, Isodoros, Szoreny, and possibly... TED?

Metagaos and Isidoros? Probably, though they'll have mechanical differences from Hardened Devil Body and be renamed.
Szoreny? Not sure. He seems like a dodge based guy to me.
TED? Fuck no. He can't plan on getting hit. Getting hit means that someone benefited more than him at that point. He gains more advantage by avoiding the attack than not being hit, and most importantly? He is a coward. If he's in a position where he _can_ be hit, he's messed up big time. That doesn't mean he won't have combat charms, it's just that he doesn't need HL enhancers.

Based on Szoreny's Excelleny, he gets better in the long game. So getting HL which he can sacrifice now to better his position later makes sense to me.
As for TED, I recall there was a Charm that made his Soak based on Manipulation instead of Stamina. You could expand on that to explain increased HL. I also believe that getting more HL for TED means increased survivability so you can disengage from combat. When shit happens, better to be able to take a hit, survive, and then run away.
Alright, I made some brainstorming and made a collection of Malfeas Charms I think Lelouch may find useful (which can, theoretically, allow him to become the Zero appearing in Nightmare of Nunnally. Kinda):
- Hardened Devil Body
- By Pain Reforged
- Pathetic Distraction Rebuke
- Invulnerable Wounding Futility
- Scar-Writ Saga Shield
- Viridian Legend Exoskeleton
With those possibilities of survival increase tremendously. Demon Emperor Shintai would be super cool...but we don't want to inflict super-cancer on everyone, do we? Only on those deserving it.
- Insignificant Embers Intuition
- Dim Irrelevancies Unveiled
- Tarnish Flash Technique
- Skyfire-Seizing Repast
- Sun-Heart Furnace Soul
- Green Sun Nimbus Fire
- Wrath-Stoked Bonfire Soul
- World Weathering Incandescence
- Kissed by Hellish Noon
- Cold Fire Desolation Brand
- Rebuking Impudent Arms
- Carapace Oven Trick
- Vitriolic Corona Endowment
- Star-Piercing Star of Glory
Blinding your opponents is always good. It even use War as ability, which Lelouch has in spades.
SHFS for another Pantheon Soul. And more motes.
Star-Piercing Star of Glory so we can hurl blasts of cosmic energy. I know everyone want them
I was considering to include Fealty-Acknowledging Audience, but then I realized it isn't really Lelouch's style. Not yet at least.
And this is all without considering the many, many fanmade Charms. Just click "Exalted Malfeas Charms", they're endless.
What do you think?
Personally I make it a question of power: Sakuradite produces a lot of energy and it's a great conductor. So it's obvious that a machine powered by it is capable of higher feats, just like a car with a better engine and superior fuel. That it was only applied to KF...yes, I blame it mostly on "Robots sell better" policy
Anyway, more Malfeas Charms. Those ones were written by The Demented One, who if I am not mistaken got an official job to write for team Exalted:
By Plague of Hats:
From the Book of Ten Thousand Scorpions:
Modern Malfeas Charms:
Honestly, as much as from a strictly OOC perspective getting Malfeas charms is probably a decent idea, I don't like it for Lelouch because part of what I loved about Code Geass was him outsmarting the hell out of everyone (most of the time, anyway...). I can dig the knightmare stuff, and the vehicle charms by extension, but I kind of feel like if we start going down the GSNF or the soakmonster trees we're kind of missing the point of playing Lelouch, y'know? I'm also kind of meh on do nha angles and the TED attack enhancers for kind of the same reasons.
frozenchicken
Does not have a custom title.
Really? Because I feel that seems perfectly in character for him. Take some minor, irrelevant or unexpected thing (eg. Ohgi's little group of rebels or Geass), and then ruthlessly exploit that advantage until you've leveraged yourself into a much stronger position. An attack that relies on you twisting the rules so absurdly that your opponent can't even see it coming, and then uses their loss to benefit yourself? I was trying to describe Dho Hna Angles + LBEA there, but that sentence can be broadly applied to a full half of Lelouch's gambits in the show.
I'd be happy to, but I also recommend posting your work in the General Exalted thread so that those more skilled than I may examine them. You can also put a "@" symbol in front of a user's name to draw their attention to your post. Easier than sacrificing babies.
But some of those Malfeas charms ought to be looked over again. Dramatic Combustion Gesture is, as others have noted, very undercosted for what it does. GSNF by itself costs 3 motes and that's just to add 2L to one hit. Insta-killing someone (even an extra) for 1 mote is no good.
A thought just came to me for it; instead of just snapping your fingers and incinerating someone, how about you pay X motes upon landing a hit with GSNF, then the GSNF-only damage (2L or higher if you have upgrades) whips out to burn X other targets?
