I think my character is a response to the emptiness the lack of Keychain Of Creation updates is causing me. I adore the characters.
"Coffee! Coffeecoffeecoffee! Coffee! Not as strong as Meth-amphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth!"My ideas:
- A Solar Twilight that remembers what dicks the First Age Solars were so he's sort of disillusioned about that. He is an arrogant bishie twat though, and loses his pride and beauty during his initiation into Celestial Circle Sorcery.
- An Abyssal Day. Was a samurai-ninja who tried to avenge his clan's slaughter but then he got offed by the last guy who proved katanas are not better by using a great ax to chop off his head. He rises again as a Deathknight, killed the guy and became 'He Who Walks Behind', a samurai-ninja still. Then he offs his partner, The Hand Behind The Falling Ax. In this fight, katana still loses to giant ax when Ax's ax chops through Behind's katana but Behind still manages to win, and takes Ax's ax and his executioner hood, keeps his samurai armor and now goes around calling him The Hand Behind The Falling Ax.
I figure My character's job would be to stay alive in combat and facilitate the Circles movement through social spheres, rather than any actual direct combatant abilities. Enough to stay alive, but barely a tertiary focus if It's possible
thinking of changing my spell to emerald countermagic.

"Coffee! Coffeecoffeecoffee! Coffee! Not as strong as Meth-amphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth!"Anyone else think that a Mega Man (mostly based on the Mega Man X incarnation) crossover with Exalted that took place in Autochthonia would be insanely awesome?

Terrestrials are inherently weaker but more numerous. Solution: PC D Bs get DB Cohorts equal to how many they need to remain as relevant as Solars.
That's...really accurate in terms of the Yozi's personalities.
Also, I've always wondered what Exalted combat would actually look like. This, I think, would be a close approximation of an elemental dragon of fire vs the God of Time.
You guys know anything else that can be compared to Exalted combat?
So Masters of Jade is now out.
I'll probably be getting it tomorrow morning.
Edit: I has it! And it's brilliant! If this is the kind of stuff we can look forward to - such as, hopefully, a Manual of Exalted Power: Liminals/Chernozem - then I will buy them even if I have to knock over a bank to do so.

Doubleposting just in case anyone is listening
because
2.5 IS COMING SOON. If all goes to plan, the writers will have the lethality fix we've been awaiting for months released to the world within the next couple of weeks.

Incidentally, apparently Liminals aren't getting anything beyond minor thematic statements and "I has a secret" NDA-waving until Sidereatta and Lunarrata are conclusively resolved.
[If you don't know who Liminals are, you need to go and get Masters of Jade. Now.]
Edit: Aww, Nephilpal is moving on from Exalted
.

Your sword is (literally, of course) The Heart of the Ebon Dragon. Everyone who has wielded it thus far has been consumed by it's evil, but the power of a 3rd circle demon coursing through your veins is too great to pass up, and, well, you're not everyone.
You are Maximus Vox, greatest Infernal champion of the Ebon Dragon (and, some would whisper, Hell itself), and no weapon, no matter how powerful, can challenge your authority.
There are some moments, though, where you feel as though you're not yourself...

What do you think are the best Charms to "steal" as Eclipse/Fiend/Moonshadow player? There got to be some awesome possibilities but I'm afraid to waste it for something the Exalt can do similar or even better within his own Charm tree. I'm especially interested in Fiends in that regard though I'm also curious what the other should purchase.

Doesn't fit with the Kung-Fu Action Sun Jesus type character I Was planning though.
