Exalted news

[alexmegami]

In other news, Paulus died, so maybe I won't draw him and Suza. Damnit! The Cloud/Tidus Exalted 2nd ed. clone + the tiny Swedish ninja = so awesome!

Unfortunately, five normal guys with military training apparently win against Solars with no extra health levels, soak charms, or armor on. And even Suza, with her Wits + Medicine at 7, and help from a spirit, AND blowing Willpower, could not get the requisite 8 successes to keep him from dying.

Speaking of Exalted second edition, and specifically directed at those in Brampton over the summer + Stefan...

What do we want to do about the Exalted game? As far as I know, Stefan's plan was not to be in Brampton, so I don't know if we can finish running the huge final battle (unless it's okay if I mook Slade's involvement).

One idea I was batting around in my head was to remake the characters in 2nd ed, and the game opens with "after a successful attempt to flee the city of Thorns, Azure, Lahna, Gregory, and Hiro attempt to discover how to convert an Abyssal's soul back to the purity of the soul of the Chosen of the Unconquered Sun..."

Especially since the new system now has, you know, RULES (and charms!) for how Gregory's massive speeches and Lahna's blackmail attempts work...

Anyway, for those of you that still read LJ (which might amount to, uh, maybe Simon, occasionally Min, and possibly Pete?)... what do you think?

I'm in for whichever and whatever game you end up running.

Rockin'. :D The game wouldn't be the game without the sharkman. ;)

I would enjoy coming back, but I would request a retool of the character if you'd allow it. I always felt that my character sheet was more stitched together then put together. I'm sure we could discuss the details once I see this new fangled edition they have now.

What do ya say? ^_-

Sounds good to me. The switchover from first to second doesn't have toooo many changes for you, other than the new setup for Charms, and going through and discussing changes sounds like an A1 idea to me. :D

[alexmegami]

Also, how were you figuring on retooling? More towards combat, more towards priesting, something else entirely...?

The character concept for Gregory is a character that feels more humbled then empowered by his religion and devotion to the gods. He does have his moments where his words are powerful but that's more of a side effect of his Solar past (see Stadium prayer). So a revision to present this is in order. As for his combat abilities, I think I want to keep them about the same, maybe making them a bit more focused on equal parts offense and defense rather then more offense. Gregory doesn't have any formal training himself, but his Solar past did so I don't think there should be some bleed into his present form.

Everything else that changes would be as a focusing agent based at least on those two character parts.
