The Sun Never sets: An Exalted/Warhammer Fantasy Quest

That just means we have to puzzle out the language ourselves, which should prove interesting. It's just a human language, not something that communicates through right angles and interprative dance.

You forget 'every Spirit Charm ever,' which damn well should include 'I want to know a language I don't actually know so I can talk to people even if I don't speak their language. Yet.'

Because a statement like that with the flexible by design nature of the Spirit Charmset makes things like that possible.

Currently we're trying to find our Fulcrums so we can use our Super-Virtuous powers.

The lost Fulcrums don't stop you from acessing all your Virtue based powers, only those linked with a specific Fulcrum.

Also, lets talk power-levels.
The Chaos gods map pretty well with Primordials, With lesser Demons being around the level of 1st circle Demons and Greater demons spanning from second circle to third in power. Gods in general are somewhere between an Essence 10 god from Exalted and an Incarna in power. Though it is limited and expressed in very diffrent ways.

Generaly speaking, without your Fulcrums, a Greater demon can be a very bad matchup. Especially if fight one of the more powerful Khornate ones. Once you start getting Fulcrums back of course, this changes pretty rapidly.

Another thing I want to make clear, Mostly for those who might not be that familiar with Exalted. Your Compassion means that if someone honestly begs for their life, you will not refuse. This is not some honor Oath, or mental effect that you can shrug off. This is the core of what the Unconquered Sun IS, all encompassing and forgiving. Even knowing that sparing someone might turn back to their evil ways after you have spared them, you still wont kill them. Because you BELIEVE that no matter what, they can change and become better. Supressing your Virtues is not something (In Character) to be done lightly, it means essentialy ripping out part of your very BEING. Supressing your Compassion to kill a Chaos Lord begging for his life might be a good idea from an OOC perspective, and you can do it, but it is also denying a core part of yourself In-character. And if done often enough, or for frivalous Reasons. Such things can, and will, have CONSEQUENCES.

... That would actually work, wouldn't it? :D Exalted be bullshit yo. Not as much bullshit as the Neuroi and Humans throw at each other in Chimera's quest, but still...

Linguistics Solar Charm allows for us to be understood and understand other people, regardless of language barriers.

Though I'm pretty sure He's said to have all Spirit Charms except those rendered redundant by His charms. So, given that He has the best translation charm He probably doesn't have any lesser ones. It just sucks that He's missing a Fulcrum.

Though I'm pretty sure He can use charms to instantly train people in languages He knows.

Obviously just have a companion whose not restricted so to do it in our place.

P.S. Does Compassion extend to not imprisoning people for past crimes? We don't kill them, but they won't pose a problem in the future.

Imprisoning them in healthy conditions demonstrates Compassion, especially if their imprisonment is used to keep them out of circulation until they reform, and it actively attempts to correct any problematic behaviors.

Similiarly, encasing them inside a crystal (theres both a Spirit Charm and Celestial Sorcery) until we can put them into therapy would still be Compassionate. Then we just set up a Sanctum somewhere safeish and store them there.

Luckily, though, Chaos Lords aren't the type to beg for mercy. Nor is anyone else, to be honest.

I noticed Sol has Occult 10. There might be a possibility we might be able to do something with this and the Winds of Magic to refine at least a part of them into a more orderly form. In particular the White Wind, or Hysh, we could possibly make use of due to it being Light Magic.

We have Adamant Circle Sorcery. It kinda blows anything short of High Magic out of the water, and even High Magic has to work to equal the sheer bullshit Adamant Circle can pull off.

Of the top of my head, there is for example a spell that replicates Ulthuans mystic defences (the fog that hides the island-continent).

I'm pretty sure that you can make new spells for sorcery.

We don't actually have Adamant Circle Sorcery. We have Charms that mimic the effects of a few specific spells, and no others.
Solar Circle Charms: Admant Circle Banishment, Admant Circle Countermagic, Benediction of Archgenesis, Chariot of the Blazing sun, Cleansing Solar Flames, Demon of the Third Circle, Incantation of the invincible army, Light of Solar Cleansing, Sunburst Portal Evocation.

We should try to use demon of the Third(No, better be cautious) first circle and see what happen.

exactly, This does however mean that you can use these as CHARMS, and not as Sorcery. Costing only 1 willpower + motes instead of 3 and taking no time to use.

Technically those spells are imitating our charms anyway. Like Total Annihilation is borrowing Ligier's power, he needs no sorcery to do that.
