Can you use sorcery to make yourself into a cute loli?

Tell me about the Abyssals.

>>237970

>"OK, Holden"

Is this some kind of meme?

>>238147

>You want the REAL big guy? He's right here.

4u

Morke and Holden are liars

>>238176

Yes. Because Mark and Holden are liars.

>>238147

TELL ME ABOUT FALAFEL, WHY DOES HE WEAR THE ARMOR

or the severed heads, for that matter

What's your opinion on 3e so far?

Cool setting but the system is a nightmare.

>>239227

Another round of them fucking up the setting an the system is a mess

>>239260

>Another round of them fucking up the setting an the system is a mess

That's 2e though.

>>239467

>File Name

Divine wincest happened in my last exalted group.

I blame game of thrones and reading ancient-Egyptian, ancient-Persian and Japanese myths.

The fact that no one cared makes me believe my group is filled with incest manga reading weebs or /pol/ is right again and the jewish media really is promoting incest acceptance and it's working.

>>239645

Storytime?

>>238378

What did they lie about?

>>239645

Or maybe they just chalked it up to gods being gods and having really shitty family relations like gods do.

>>239883

Pretty much everything to do with 3e. Off the top of my head:

>Release date announced 2012, walked back a few months at a time, coming 2013, give us kickstarter money guys, coming 2014, ohnoz we had a leak and must take a break, coming 2015, this is only an estimate don't hold us to it, coming 2016.

>We're removing flurries. Oh wait we're not, what I meant and was totally saying all the time is that you won't be spamming flurries every action.

>We're removing speedbumps, XP taxes, system bloat and overcomplicated charm trees. Here, have a craft system where you still need to buy every craft skill separately ONLY NOW WE CHANGED THE SEPARATIONS, also have a performance tree with Skill Focus: Perform(speech) and Skill Focus: Perform(dance) needing to be bought separately, and a character generation system that still penalizes you for not being a minmaxer.

>We're simplifying combat, no more ten-step attack resolution. And by "simplifying" I mean we're getting rid of the ten-step resolution CHART that made explicit how to handle attack resolution, but we're keeping all the things that could HAPPEN in these steps, like reroll charms and defenses you activate after seeing attacker's results! only now they don't list a step, you just gotta *waves hands* use common sense, figure it out yourself, it should be simple!

>>238176

>>238224

>>238378

I think the "Ok Holden" and the lying should perhaps be treated separately.

If Holden&c say one thing about how they want Ex3 to look early on, and two years down the line they changed their mind during design phase, I don't feel this is an offense of any great magnitude, and it's perhaps not the kind of thing one thinks of when one hears "lying".

OTOH, when Holden is being a pretty princess who talks like 3e is his precious perfect baby and anything else gets remarks like

> Generally the terrible idea is playing 2e (ba-dum-crash)

despite the fact that he was happy to spend years working on and pimping 2e, one starts to smell douchebag. Which is it, Hamster - you were lying to us before, or you're lying to us now?

When 2e gave us the Abortion Punch Charm and 3e gives us the Rape Ghosts Charm, it tarnishes the image they've tried to build of 3e as "the good edition".

When 3e has a leak and the Holden's devteam responds by saying "the leak will force us to slow down work, reduce playtesting, and put out a lower quality product", I start to get the feeling that they have an already bad product, they know it, and they're seizing with both hands an opportunity to shift blame.

And then there was Holden's wonderful line of:

> so here's a fun thing: EX3 has produced fewer requests for rule-clarification than ANYTHING we published during 2nd edition

> The notion that VCR programming manual language leads to less player confusion is, as far as I can tell, very wrong.

said at a time when people who had preordered were still reporting "I got my book today!" Thank you, Captain Obvious, of course you're going to get few requests for clarification when people haven't had a chance to look at the rules yet!

(Not to mention the other umpteen confounding factors like playerbase size, or playerbase resignation as to whether requests for clarification will do shit)

In short, Holden is acting like a shill. So the way I see it is that "ok Holden" stands for something like "your opinion is bought and paid for, predictable, and thus of no value."

"You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands."

>>240009

Why a mere god, when I can tap into the power of the Primordials?

What happens when you get exalted?

>>240743

A third and extra awesome soul attaches to the two you already have and infuses you with the power of the Insert Incarna Here.

>>240958

But what does it feel like, being Exalted?

Imagine being a mix of Gilgamesh (the mythological one, not the anime cocksucker), Goku and the Avatar (the Airbender one).

Also you have a monstergirl waifu/best bro whom you love dearly.

>>241107

I mean the actual moment where you become an Exalted. Do you have weird visions from the sun or something?

>>241109

That depends on what you Exalt into, which also influences under which circumstances you Exalt.

You're gonna be a Solar, destined to be better at anything than any mortal could ever hope to be, a champion for the might of the Unconquered Sun? You Exalt as you battle unyielding against impossible odds, and triumph in glory as your aura flares with His brightness.

You're gonna be a Lunar, a shape-shifting warden against unreality and lieutenant to the aforementioned Solars? Luna herself appears before you in your most desperate hour, just as you make the conscious decision to keep marching forward despite all else, and your senses suddenly fill with a beastly rush as your body changes to accommodate your new form.

You're gonna be a Sidereal, an agent of Fate desperately trying to keep Creation under some semblance of control? You get taken and trained by other Sidereals, inducted into the grand conspiracy, exactly as was foretold since the day you were born.

You're gonna be an Abyssal, a twisted abomination crafted by the Neverborn in order to end Creation? That's on you. It's your fault. You accepted the pact. You were so afraid of dying that you agreed to help usher the death of Everything just so you could live a bit longer. Fuck you.

As for the Dragonborn, well, you're a noble. You've been raised since birth with the idea that your blood and powers give you divine right over Creation, and any other powerful beings are either Gods to be bargained with or Anathema to be purged. Good luck navigating the political and martial landscape, kiddo, you're gonna need it.

Don't know shit about Infernals.

All I know about Exalted, I know thanks to Jukashi.

>>241107

>>241107

>Imagine being a mix of Gilgamesh (the mythological one, not the anime cocksucker), Goku and the Avatar (the Airbender one).

So basically, Gilgamesh from the anime then?

>>241107

I knew there was a reason I thought Solars were the gayest thing ever.

Anyone want to run Exalted?

Please?

>>241137

>Abyssal

The way I took Abyssals was that they were JUST about to Exalt into Solars… And then a deathprince comes along to offer them a pact.

In their moment of weakness, they take it and lose the chance to become kings of creation.

>>241202

No, it states explicitly in the MoEB: Abyssals that all Abyssals have a near death experience where a death prince waltzes up and offers them a deal.

You're thinking of Internals, who turned chickenshit in the moment they could have stood their ground and become Solars. Then a demon traipsed up, offered them power, and then exploded into a cocoon when they said yes, enveloping them and Exalting them of Hell.

>>241207

>You're thinking of Internals, who turned chickenshit in the moment they could have stood their ground and become Solars. Then a demon traipsed up, offered them power, and then exploded into a cocoon when they said yes, enveloping them and Exalting them of Hell.

Infernals didn't necessarily "chickenshit". It's any moment of failure that defines them, not only cowardice.

You played the odds, you stuck out your neck for one deal too many, and now you're looking at a lifetime of debt. Or… you could listen to this weirdo offering you a way out.

You spent two years studying fragments of Old Realm so you could translate an artifice text you found. When you'd finally finished building the device described as providing endless fresh water, it instead blows up due to some mistake in construction, scalding your hands and blinding you. Hey, what's this voice promising to restore your sight, teach you Old Realm from a native speaker, and initiate you into the mysteries of the First Age?

You were Orpheus, playing the lyre to touch the heart of a Deathlord, leading your love out of the Underworld, and once you returned to Creation, you turned to look - a second too early.

–

Another thing the demon with the Infernal Exaltation often does is show up "too late". An hour ago, you didn't chickenshit. The Tyrant said he wanted your daughter, you said you weren't going to have any of this, and the Tyrant told his guards to show you why nobody objects. You could, perhaps, have become a Solar at that moment. No such thing happened. You weren't a coward, but you still didn't punch the Tyrant across the landscape. Now you're lying in a ditch, beaten half to death, your daughter taken.

Hey, kid, the Creators are on your side, and they're pretty horrified at the turn this world has taken too. They'll happily give you the power to fix this if you'll work for them.

Deal?

>>241227

>Hey, kid, the Creators are on your side, and they're pretty horrified at the turn this world has taken too. They'll happily give you the power to fix this if you'll work for them.

Do you actually speak with them, or is it just some kind of weird vision quest thing?

What happens while you're asleep in the cocoon?

>>242180

Iirc, the opening shpiel is given directly by the demon, but you get a maddening revelation while in the cacoon. The visions are so insane and confusing that many Infernals having lingering doubts that any of what they experience is real.

>>242214

I'm tempted to make an account just to reply with "ok holden", just to make him rage.

>>242214

Wait, the chick on the Exalted cover is transgendered? Wot. Anyway, more interested in whatever the Dark Haired chick floating in the product "their stories are yet to come" placement is.

You know anons, I would kill for Sargon to somehow see this and then "review" Exalted just to fuck with him.

>>243227

There is this: https://archive.is/aLlAN .

Maybe this should be kept to gamefinder, but is anyone actually running Exalted?

A lot of people seem to be talking about it, but I can't find a game anywhere.

MoW might be a giant Faggot, but at least he manages to do SOMETHING with his time, instead of managing to still be ineffectual after one of his equals was forced to be his minion by their shared Master.

>>239907

>When 3e has a leak and the Holden's devteam responds by saying "the leak will force us to slow down work, reduce playtesting, and put out a lower quality product", I start to get the feeling that they have an already bad product, they know it, and they're seizing with both hands an opportunity to shift blame.

That also would explain the shift from "Standard WW amount of SocJus to MAXIMUM OVERSOCJUS", which always seems to go in hand with those massive quality drops.

>>241227

Actually, no, it's explicitly stated that they, some way or another, FAILED of their own accord the moment they COULD become a Solar (assuming there was a Solar Exaltion in the general vicinity in the first place, of course). That's important. The knowledge of having failed through their own shortcommings is what is supposed to keep them pliant and submissive.

At least that's what happened in 2e.

Still worried they fuck up with the total overhaul in 3e

>>243748

The fucking ass remake of that pic in motherfucking Poser pissed me off. I'm never going to give those hacks a cent in my life.

>>244526

got the pic?

Y'know.

After seein both HLS and Hatewheel spew amazingly retarded stuff of the political bent, I'm starting to get worried that I might be near the point where I can't enjoy the setting and game without slight thoughts about the authors asshattery tainting the experience anymore.

Is this bad?

>>244859

Death of the Author is a thing, son.

>>241137

Infernals: You suck at everything in life then kyubey some demon arrives and promises you awesome power. The demon melds with you, becoming your headmate and your body has demon extras. You derive your power from gods who are all completely insane.

>>245521

What's going on here?

>>245572

Mnemon summoned a Second Circle demon, and then lost control of it and is trying to reach her Thurible before it tentacle rapes her.

Does anyone have any storytime?

>>244891

Yes, and differing interpretations of a work than the author intended relates to my actual issue how?

Here's the interactive tutorial:

https://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/index.html

>>239645

Or, It's just a fantasy RPG. I've literally lost count of how much people die in my games, that we've personally murdered as a party, steal, worshiping profane gods, ect.

Unless your group actually is going out and doing incest. In which case… yeah.

>>239907

>Abortion Punch Charm

I must have missed that one. Where is it?

>>248238

Don't quote me on this, but I think it was just the realisation that "Pregnancy" is technically an ongoing effect when faced with a "Punch your target so hard, their effects fall off"

>>248239

That's from Tome of Martial Arts (or Weeaboo fighting magic) from DnD, though.

>>248239

Reminds me of the time in Mage where our ST was trying to decide if the Ecstatic rote Purge worked on pregnancy. Or the same game where he also had to decide if it worked on cyborgs.

Thoughts on the http://www.edexalted.com/ suite?

>>248240

You're thinking of something else. Weeaboo Fightan Magic had a class that could shake off all ongoing effects as a class feature.

>>248240

I think I got some wires crossed before; The Exalted Meme may have been started by a miscarriage of a 1st Age Solars Wife.

I still think there was something about a Charm that also did this, in Exalted.

D&D… didn't have a "Tome of Martial Arts" and Tome of Battle was just barely too well written for so stupidity.

Meanwhile, nobody doublecheks anything at White Wolf/Onyx Path, EVER.

So sir, why I may very well be wrong, I am moderately sure you are wrong-er. More wrong.

Can you raise Essence, Willpower, and Attributes beyond 10?

>>249861

So… what is that Alchemical in the second pic doing? What's the plan, exactly?

>>250249

That's not an Alchemical, that Autochthon in one of his humanoid forms. It's depicting his abduction of humans before he left Creation.

Which would you guys say is the best edition? I was thinking about running this for a few friends and I'm curious to see what you guys think.

>>254420

>Which would you guys say is the best edition?

Third, no contest.

>>252405

>>HGTV

The what now?

>>254577

Tell me about the third edition.

How easy is it to pick up? I've always wanted to run or play Exalted, but my players are sticking with DnD because they're lazy assholes.

>>254629

>Tell me about the third edition.

Combat is crunchy but a manageable level now, as well as more fluid and cinematic.

Perfect defenses are a last resort and not a "lol fuck you" button anymore. Nor are they the linchpin of your combat build anymore.

It doesn't take hours to resolve a single turn of combat anymore.

Mortals and DB can present a hefty obstacle for a Solar, even a Dusk caste. Which means, now you actually have to think tactically in combat.

Sorcery was made exponentially more powerful and versatile, in short, fun.

There's an actual social influence system in place, rather than 2e's mind-laser tag bullshit.

EVOCATIONS

The setting is a lot more streamlined and most of 2e's grimderp bullshit surgically cut out. but muh raepgoast shut up.

At the same time, the setting was fluffed up and now there's multiple organic locations for all sorts of adventure with lots of tasty plot hooks.

Familiars don't suck anymore.

Martial Arts are decidedly more versatile and powerful than 2e. More fun as well.

Just off the top of my head.

>How easy is it to pick up?

It's… crunchy, but not to Hackmaster levels. If you're patient and manage to break your players in, you're going to have a blast.

>but my players are sticking with DnD because they're lazy assholes.

You poor bastard. Better grab a big bag of patience, cause you're gonna need it.

>>250255

With Beams that clearly have some force behind them, risking the Death of his abductees.

Man, for all his brilliance at creating things, Autocthon really sucks at planning ahead, doesn't he?

>>255010

The art only gets worse, anon.

>>255029

I'd take the Poser bullshit over 2e's horribly inconsistent and sometimes barely finished art direction.

Any Night concepts that aren't yet another thief/hitman?

>>256149

Bald dude with the sword in the first image knows he's in for a shit sandwich.

Also, I just noted that Exalted uses the same castes as Werewolf: The Apocalypse's Auspices.

>>256150

You just noticed that?

Exalted was supposed to be the predecessor (metaphysically) to oWoD. Werewolves were the Lunars, Vampires were the Abyssals, Mages were Sidereals, and Hunters were Solars.

>>256149

Do you really want me to post a selection of 2e art?

(yes, that is a threat)

>>257190

Come on I'm here, do it, do it now!

>>256155

>Exalted was supposed to be the predecessor (metaphysically) to oWoD. Werewolves were the Lunars, Vampires were the Abyssals, Mages were Sidereals, and Hunters were Solars.

Yeah, and Luna was supposed to be, uh, Luna, and none other than Lucifer Morningstar himself as the Unconquered Sun.

>>257244

Then there are the Neverborn, who are still a thing in oWoD. Apparently even the world ending didn't save them from constantly dying.

And the two entities in charge of giving Hunter powers to mortals? The embodiment of Yin and Yang? None other than the Scarlet Queen and the Ebon Dragon.

Is the lore/fluff decent? I remember reading the core book of i think 1st or second edition and liking it

>>255010

Is it bad if that looks ok to me? I have seen some image so badly drawn i'll tolarate poser art

>>258164

>Is the lore/fluff decent?

It is, as long as you ignore most of 2e's contributions.

>>254882

>EVOCATIONS

I have some questions about evocations…

So, how are you supposed to create/stat evocations? Are there any actual rules to it, or are the examples the only thing we have to work with?

Do all artifacts of rating 3 and above have evocations?

When a player crafts an artifact weapon, who decides what the evocations are going to be, the player or the ST? If the ST, how much input should a player have in what the evocations will be like?

Compared to charms, how are evocations supposed to stack up? Are they supposed to be weaker? Stronger? Equal?

Why would one unlock an evocation when they could just unlock a new charm for the same amount or less?

>>258200

>So, how are you supposed to create/stat evocations? Are there any actual rules to it, or are the examples the only thing we have to work with?

There's as many rules to it as there are for Charm design. Exigents and Arms of the Chosen will have some guidelines (for Charms in general and Evocations specifically, respectively).

>Do all artifacts of rating 3 and above have evocations?

If they're narratively "deep" enough. A belt of shadows isn't really deep enough to support Evocations, because it's so basic, but a particular belt of shadows, worn by an infamous thief, woven from a bit of Erembour's robe and imbued with some of her forbidden music, might have Evocations. All arms and armor have Evocations.

>When a player crafts an artifact weapon, who decides what the evocations are going to be, the player or the ST? If the ST, how much input should a player have in what the evocations will be like?

Both. The Evocations represent the concept of the artifact as a whole, so it's going to take back and forth agreement, just like it would any other custom artifact's powers.

>Compared to charms, how are evocations supposed to stack up? Are they supposed to be weaker? Stronger? Equal?

Equal to your Charms, but without much for bread and butter. Evocation trees are short, explosive, and flashy. You won't find much for e.g. an Excellent Strike equivalent, which is why Evocations are supplemental rather than something you could use exclusively as a fighting style.

>Why would one unlock an evocation when they could just unlock a new charm for the same amount or less?

Because Evocations do things your native Charmset can't, or do it in ways that resonate with your intended usage better than the default Charm. A Solar might want "stealth," but want it in a way that the Solar Stealth set doesn't really represent. For that, he would turn to Evocations.

>>258193

What happened in 2E?

>>258245

You don't want to know.

The third image is the upcoming iconic Slayer and her backstory is as follows:

"Basphomy in Verdigris was a minor Tengese political pawn, alternately victimized by the occupying forces of the Realm and resistance elements of weak and disorganized An-Teng underground, who sought to be the tool of neither yet was forced into being a catspaw for both– and eventually a killer for the underground, though she knew she was viewed as a disposable asset to be used up and thrown away.

She's taken the stolen might of a Solar Exaltation as reason to swear she'll never bow to anyone or anything ever again, and has come to view the world as her oyster– she knows there are few things that can gainsay even her least desire now, and her retinue of demonic servants and handful of demon lovers have assured her that this is a completely proper attitude for one of her elevated station. Two years ago she was a Tengese pawn who had nothing; now she wears only the finest silks and the most beautiful jewelry (when she bothers to clothe herself at all, which is rarely, for her skin is like the finest armor), wields paired blades older than any standing nation in the world, takes what catches her fancy, and kills with poisonous green fire when offended. When this host of blessings is insufficient, Basphomy in Verdigris calls upon a terror chained in the depths of her Essence, and becomes a lean and eyeless dragon, whose screams are sonic hammers sufficient to shatter marble and explode flesh."

Holden said that if he had enough money, he would have commissioned an image where she "would probably be wearing significantly less (only jewels and golden adornments), lounging on a mound of jade and silver and fine furs, with blood-apes waving peacock-feather fans at her, an angyalka playing Time for her pleasure, and servant-boys pouring fine wine into a jeweled chalice held in one blood-stained hand."

I'm working on a custom Infernal charmset for 3e (yes, I've seen the one floating around). Right now I'm working on charms that would be useful for a spymaster, more specifically one concerning rumors and word of mouth, but nothing's coming up. Anyone up for some spitballing?

>>267706

>The third image is the upcoming iconic Slayer and her backstory is as follows:

You know, everyone says that Exalted show that if everyone is Mary Sue, no one is Mary Sue, but that entire paragraph reads as if someone set out to make the most Mary Sue character possible.

I'm not even sure if I can believe that paragraph is real, it's just too on the nose.

This does bring up something that I've been wanting to ask for a while, though: Was Exalted always so pretentiously written?

I don't remember ever having to look anything up in a dictionary back in 2e, but the 3e lore section honestly feels like someone just opened the thesaurus and randomly changed words to the most esoteric form possible, in some strange attempt to make it look more impressive.

What are the dick sizes across creation? Are black southern lads hunger than the rest? It's important.

>>267758

>What are the dick sizes across creation?

About the average human spectrum, with the odd God-blooded of fertility gods or the like.

Does anyone know if 3E will follow the existing Exalt power level ranking?

>>267814

>Does anyone know if 3E will follow the existing Exalt power level ranking?

In which way you mean?

>>268287

Did they actually fix that atrocious art or is the fan art just a million times better?

>>268288

>is the fan art just a million times better

Isn't it always?

>>268299

Most fan-art is garbage just like most fan-fiction.

>>267508

That throne looks pretty comfy.

Someone in another discussion mentioned something like a build that allowed you get to a Devil tiger in less than 12 sessions.

Does anyone know where it is from?

>>248238

I think it is "Hero-Sundering Hands", which is an expansion charm to Infernal monster style.

Can Sidereals go rogue?

>>268675

all Sidereals are rouge to begin with aren't they? having orchestrated the big betrayal thing.

Guess that would make gold faction rouge rouges

>>268802

Yes and no. The Usurpation was technically illegal as it went against the Solars divine right to rule, but Unconquered Sun had long since given up on the Solars, making it easier to Galway with. The assaulting of various gods, destruction oheavenly property, and murder of Gold Faction loyalists were the crimes most people cared about, but when the Sidereal broke the Constellation of Secrets, no one could remember who did what, so charges couldn't be brought.

Everything else was swept under the rug by Chejop Kejak and his political maneuvering.

So Sidereals are still very much in charge of Fate. The Gold and Bronze Factions play nice in Yu-Shan, but use pawns and agents to undermine each other in Creation.

>>268824

don't know why, but this made me laugh. So I'll apologize.

>>268822

I think that's the greatest appeal Sids have, the Bronze and Gold factions essentially trying to out spy each other. But i both factions play nice in Yu-Shan, both would be considered R-O-G-U-E by the opposing faction

>>268287

>Did they actually fix that atrocious art

That… that is the fix, anon.

I'm sorry.

>>270491

At this point I'm not sure whether that's the official art or not.

>>271437

I remember someone made a stat write-up for the Faceless Lady. Do you have it on you?

e0001 bump

>>272826

>e0001

I've seen that error pop up a lot. What's up with that?

A Heptagram-trained Patrician-born Peleps House Immaculate sifu and elite member of the Wyld Hunt was teaching a class on The Scarlet Empress, founder of the Scarlet Dinasty.

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship The Scarlet Empress and accept that she was the holiest being the world has ever known, even greater than Tamas Khan!”

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, Dawn Caste Solar Exalted who had been in 1500 tours of duty in the Scavenger Lands and understood the necessity of the Solar Reclamation and fully supported every decision taken by the First Age Deliberative stood up and held up a rock.

”What is this rock, dynast?”

The arrogant sifu smirked quite Dynastically and smugly replied “It's a piece of yellow jade, you stupid Anathema”

”Wrong, it is a piece of Orichalcum ore. If you were the true inheritors of Creation you would be able to attune to it by now.”

The sifu was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of the Immaculate Texts. He stormed out of the room crying those dynastic crocodile tears. The same tears dynasts cry for the "downtrodden under Anathema rule" (who today live in such luxury they can afford interior plumbing and antibiotics) when they jealously try to annex neighboring territories form the deserving Lawgivers.

There is no doubt that at this point our sifu, Peleps Deled, wished he had submitted to Solar rule and become more than a miserable bickering noble in a crumbling empire. He wished so much that he had a Glorious Orichalcum Daiklave to ritually impale himself to save himself from embarassment, but he had aided the Immaculate Order in destroying them!

The students applauded and all accepted Solars as their rightful kings and masters. An eagle named “Solar Dominion” flew into the room and perched atop the Scarlet banner and shed a tear on the chalk, incinerating it in a golden bonfire that melted the attendants' eyes off. Hymns and prayers to the Unconquered Sun were intoned several times, and The Unconquered Sun himself showed up and enacted a decree to reinstate the Solar Deliberative.

The sifu lost his tenure and was fired, dishonorably discharged and his manse demolished the next day. He died of the Great Contagion and was tossed into the Labyrinth where he was forged into soulsteel to agonize for all eternity.

Glory to the Unconquered Sun.

>If Holden&c say one thing about how they want Ex3 to look early on, and two years down the line they changed their mind during design phase, I don't feel this is an offense of any great magnitude, and it's perhaps not the kind of thing one thinks of when one hears "lying".

Normally, I would agree with you. However, that's when we're talking about the Projected Release Date for the project being two years from now. Then the Projected Release Date is in three months, and the project gets paid for, and then is THREE YEARS LATE and no longer resembles what was paid for, I think tossing around 'lying' becomes more acceptable.

How hard is it to get into Exalted? I've heard that the rules are a clusterfuck, but how bad is it really?

>>277234

>How hard is it to get into Exalted?

Read the summary on 1d4chan, then read the corebook again

>I've heard that the rules are a clusterfuck, but how bad is it really?

It's basically rocket-tag, you either Perfect Defense or Die since almost every named characters and antagonists can twoshot you

>>277234

I am actually going to put up an LFG in a moment here in the LFG thread. If you are interested in joining a game let me know. We play on roll20

>>277237

>It's basically rocket-tag, you either Perfect Defense or Die

3e has been out for quite a while, you know.

>>277417

Okay then think it's like Dissidia Final Fantasy

>>277952

Hold on, wasn't it the rule that nobody save Lytek, Jupiter and the Primordials knows about the Great Curse?

>>277929

I had a player want max levels of Past Lives and that flaw Throwback, which temporarily overwrites your Motivation with one from the First Age.

With a core aspect of his character's personality sometimes sliding back into the First Age nature and nearly perfect memories all the way back to the Primordial War, I ruled he had an actual split personality. I based the alternate persona on the way the player ran his character with all the dick qualities ramped to 11.

It was so satisfying as a DM to run the scene where, after telling the dick persona to shut the fuck up, the player had to come crawling back for sorcery training.

Do I have to do anything fucky in character creation if I want to make a Dawn Solar who starts off specialising in martial arts? The book is a little vague (something about brawl = martial arts, but also a mention of merits).

>>280423

Why are gorgons always so cute?

>>280502

Correct.

The great curse was never mentioned or understood by characters in game.The old-ass lunar's point was more that the solar's power made them irredeemable once they became corrupt, and the Dragonblooded– while douches– weren't entirely wrong to bring them down.

Of course, being a lunar, her idea was basically that civilization was the root of the corruption, that rot starts at the head, and the solars were the head and now the dragonblooded are.

Said Lunar was more interested in crashing civilization with no survivors than putting up with the circle admonishing her for the bloodiness of her edgeworld barbarian rituals, so when conflict occured, accrued limit cause a cascade of limitbreaks, which culminated in the Lunar saying "I told you so."

She didn't see the solars as cursed, she only saw them as madmen who should never be given power. The circle didn't help in that regard.

>>281108

It's to get you to look at them. 8D

So, turns out there aren't actually any interesting unarmed martial arts styles.

Three hours of char gen down the drain, I guess.

>>250122

Essence's soft limit is 5, since anything beyond that is basically beyond the level of power most Solars achieve in their potentially millenia-long lifetimes. It's also mechanically not doing much for you to have more than 5.

Willpower's hard limited at 10.

Attributes are hard limited at 5.

Also, is the Shining Point style basically Vergil From DMC: The Martial Art? It sure looks that way.

How big of an undertaking would be purifying a batch of vitriol into its original form (Theion-To)?

Anyone running a 3E game? They seem to be rarer than chicken teeth.

>>283274

I'm trying to recruit players for one, with zero success so far. It's set in the Scavenger Lands, amidst a brewing cold war between the Realm and Lookshy and co., with the Guild and various other third parties going back and forth behiund the sidelines, waiting for the war drums to start banging. How does it sound?

>>283489

How newbie friendly is Exalted? Would you be interested in someone completely new to the game joining?

>>283493

Not that friendly, but not a complete headache either. Definitely friendlier than 2e, for sure. And no problem, just read the book first to get a handle on the setting.

Is the justice system the Realm uses detailed anywhere?

>>283489

I've already got into a game, but it depends. I like the sound of your campaign - any way we could get in touch to discuss dates, times, etc?

>>283757

Well, don't leave us hanging. Continue the story.

>>284793

Oh shit, I had forgotten to check the thread again. My bad, man. Anyways, yeah no problem. If you have an IRC client, join the #exalted room in the Night Star (irc.nightstar.net) server. Look for the "mmm" guy.

>>248418

The charm in question's in the free adventure that was released in association with Return of the Scarlet Empress; the one about infiltrating the Imperial Manse. There were character sheets for the Signature Circle as pregen PCs, and Panther had the Abortion Punch charm (which was presumably intended to be used in the context of the adventure to punch the Roseblack out of her mind control).

Why does Erembour have no unbidden release condition, when even Ligier has one?

Been interested in Exalted for awhile but I can't into the setting, and my OCD/autism prevents me from trying games tied to settings until I think I have a firm grasp of the fluff. Also my group a shit and I'll need to spoonfeed them rules AND setting. Can anyone give me a recommended reading list for the setting and metaplot? Also, should I just run 3e or try an earlier edition?

>>298187

If you don't know from reading the core book whether or not you're interested in a game, you're in the wrong hobby.

>>298193

No, I'm interested in the game. I know that. I just don't know jack about the metaplot or anything setting important from previous editions. To my knowledge Exalted's mechanics are very tied to the setting.

>>298187

I recommend 3e. It's just smoother.

As for metaplot, it's all in the core book. There's not really an extra reading list. Here's the short(ish) version.

>Primordials butthurt over no order in the chaotic Feywild.

>PrImordials create world.

>Primordials settle down to play games, but world is made from chaos stuff, so it keeps changing.

>Primordials create gods to run creation for them, so they can play games.

>All work and no play make gods butthurt.

>Cannot turn on primordials, because primordials programmed the 3 laws into them.

>Instead create Exalted with the help of two primordials.

>Exalted have a portion of the god's power, but have free will.

>Elemental dragons create elemental themed terrestrial, a.k.a. dragon-blooded, are front line soldiers. Exaltation is heritable, so they breed an army.

>The sun god (the most powerful) creates the solar exalted to lead the army. They are focused on perfection of a single art or skill set, and will surpass all other exalted in their chosen specialty. Only 300 at a time. When one dies, its 'shard' of power attaches to another human.

>Five star goddesses of fate create sidereal exalted as advisors and spies and to maintain the Loom of Fate. Only 100 total at a time (20 per goddess).

>Moon goddess creates lunar exalted as bodyguards and mates to the solar exalted. Focus is mostly on wilderness survival and shapeshifting.

>Exalted fight primordials.

>Exalted win.

>Corpses of dead primordials become underworld and want to destroy the world, as they cannot truly die as long as they're attached to it.

>Largest living primordial cut down the middle, turned inside out, then sewn shut with other living primordials imprisoned within, becoming literally Hell.

>Dying primordials curse exaltations.

>Solars go insane. Sidereals decide to overthrow them with dragon-blooded help.

>Almost all solars die.

>Most shards imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean.

>Lunars run to the edge of the world.

>Sidereals erase presence from their existence such that people can't even remember seeing them.

>Dragon-blooded rule the world using new religion setting them up as gods and calling for the death of solars and lunars, now called 'Anathema.'

>World progressively gets worse.

>Dragon-blooded empress disappears.

>Underworld attempts to steal trapped solar shards using plan from Hell in return for 50 of the shards.

>Plan fails. Underworld only gets 150 of 300 solar shards, keeping 100 and giving 50 to Hell.

>Both Underworld and Hell make corrupted versions of solars.

>Other 150 shards are now free and start being reborn after thousands of years of being trapped.

>World is screwed up beyond belief and under siege by undead, demons, fey, and internal strife.

>World is so bad, it's impossible to fix.

>Doing the impossible is the forte of solars.

>PCs are a group of solars.

>>298245

thanks m8. I was just worried I'd need to know anything in better detail from previous editions like more about the Scarlet Empress and that whole bag. Any advice or anything you think someone new to running the game should know?

In 2e, you picked up Short Gestation, trudged into the Wyld, turned into an animal, and fucked a bitch, or got fucked by an animal. There were some charms that let you control things better and ignore the need for Wyld influence, but anything beyond that was all you.

>>298479

well it all depends on where in creation you want to run your game

You can run a pirates of the caribean style game in the west, or a "lets go dungen-delving" game in the east - you'll only need to know lore about the local area you have the game in

>>317042

Pennsylvania. But Onyx Path and White Wolf have a reputation when it comes to screwing writers out of pay and other benefits (like giving them the physical books they've been working on, as outlined in their contract).

Can we get some storytime going on?

But that still doesn't answer the question why move to a country that is everything you claim to hate as an antifa.

>>321762

>>321759

Japan has a fascinating culture. I always used to read about mythology and shit as a kid, so I was already into it well before having any interest in anime and the like. The lands themselves, at least in the rural areas, seem like they'd be wonderful to live.

However, that same cultural knowledge is why I'd never want to live there. It's a different people, with different beliefs and values. As a white American, moving there is just a matter of insanity - you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Living in the city is a cancer no matter where in the world you go, and living in the countryside can be accomplished just as easily in the west. There's no reason to travel halfway around the world to do that with strangers you've never met.

>>324897

So, we got a preview of Warstriders a little while ago. Yes, I'm drawing from a cuckchan thread, but bear with me.

What we know so far:

>5x -0, 10x -1, 10x -2, -4, and Incap HL's

>The first evocation it has allows you to roll your current initiative when hit with a decisive attack and add that amount of hardness to your warstrider, losing only the amount of initiative equal to the hardness gained.

>Warstriders cost 15 motes to attune

>Artifact 5 or N/A

>Require a Greater Hearthstone to power

>-3 penalty to physical actions if you do not have the right lore and athletics specialization for your 'strider

>Counts as Heavy Armor for the purposes of Martial Arts

>Things that modify your personal strength, soak, armor etc do not affect the 'strider

>Things that modify things like non-personal armor rating, soak, attack, damage, etc. still work

>Warstrider weapons all use Artifact Weapon stats due to being YUUUUGE

>Gain a -4 penalty to attack and spot human-sized targets

>Have the Legendary Size merit (reference the T-Rex)

>Can reflexively attack terrain or battle-groups once per turn

>Warstrider's strength rating is based on your strength rating, but it's always buffed (i.e. Str5 -> Str10 while Str1 -> Str 6 or something? Table to reference.)

>Warstriders have their own damage track, soak and hardness

>The Pilot is not normally attack-able while inside, outside of a specific Gambit

>Gains a +2 speed bonus

>Does not roll to disengage from human-sized or smaller opponents

>Warstriders are heavy and automatically smash things

>But on the other side, if you have those kinda Charms, you can use Graceful Crane Stance and similar

>Requires Craft (First Age Artifacts) to maintain, must maintain for every ten hours of cumulative damage or suffer damage (One die of decisive per ten hours)

>Repairing even a single health level is considered a Major Project

>>334417

>Which skill governs torturing people for information?

Any if you can justify it, though I'd probably go for either a weapon skill (I am using this weapon to torture them) or perhaps medicine (I am using my advanced knowledge of the body to exact as much pain as possible).

I'm not sure if there are any charms in particular for torturing people. Probably because social charms can do the exact same thing, but without the need for violence.

>>334417

All of them. The combat skills speak for themselves, as for the others (taken from 2e):

- Integrity lets you disbelieve the lies of others, allowing you to browbeat them into telling the truth.

- Performance involves giving a performance that turns the person most precious to them into a massive fucking slut who'll have a train pulled on them until the interrogatee tells the truth.

- Presence mindfucks the subject into telling whatever the Solar wants to hear.

- Resistance allows for an interrogation that goes on for days with no end.

- Survival summons creatures to torment the victim.

- Craft allows the Solar to create weapons out of bone… without removing them from the body first.

- Investigation can ask the right question to break the target.

- Lore allows for the victim to be infused with the Wyrd to mutate them horribly.

- Medicine inflicts the target with a horrible disease, and if they tell the truth they'll be cured.

- Occult allows for the devouring of the interrogatee's soul if they don't tell the truth.

- Athletics will have the target elbow dropped in the dick after a jump that can scale a mountain over and over again.

- Awareness allows the Solar to spot all deceptions placed before them so you can ask the right questions.

- Dodge… dunno, as far as I know you can't dodge with these Charms in social combat.

- Larceny has you pluck the victim's organs out one by one until they talk. Normally this only works on Extras, but you're a Solar. To you everyone is an Extra.

- Stealth allows for a new interrogator to appear every hour… except that they're the same person over and over again.

- Bureaucracy turns an entire institution against the victim, their family and their home.

- Linguistics lets you write a speech that will make the subject spill the beans regardless of whether they want this or not.

- Ride will have the target tied to a horse and dragged around until they break.

- Sail will… okay, not even I can work with Sail.

- Socialize allows you to make someone believe that being tortured is perfectly normal, and the proper response to it is answering truly.

>40 million died

Looks like Exalted's Asian inspiration covers the People's Republic of China as well.

>>335673

What the fuck is this.

This has the stench of arcane lore.

It reminds me of the oranged pages of the olde tomes of 40k canon.

Might I, if any anon pleases, be informed of its context? This is the exact kind of shit that I've been wanting to see in Infiniti and Warmahordes and all those other tabletops, but haven't gotten.

Got banned from the official IRC channel (yes there's one) for daring to suggest Antifa aren't exactly the good guys if they go around smashing people's skulls with bike locks and ransacking stores. Not gonna give these soulless turds a single cent anymore.

How is 3E?

Read all the 2E books about ten years ago, played a bit of a solars campaign, it was good.

>>321725

I think that anon meant that easterners don't lie about hating your guts for being white while the whites have a more low-key sneering kind of dislike for people.

>>316982

Reads like an instruction book on how to exploit freelancers

In a place where it's tradition for nobles to wear masks because "peasants don't deserve to see our god-blessed faces", what security protocols could be implemented at a nobles-only soireé in order to give the PCs a token challenge to overcome if they want to infiltrate it?

>>337341

The devs overeacted to complaints about how 2nd edition presented the lore and are now trying to make it so that player characters don't know shit about anything

>>339324

Since this is Exalted we're talking about here, the masks allow the owner to breathe in anything. So the whole nobility shindig takes place in an area that's not normally habitable to people, like inside a giant pool filled with tea or inside a vacuum where the masks allow you to breathe.

The next security measure could be that the masks themselves act as a key to open the portal that leads you into the ballroom - the trick here is that every mask has one line of some song written on it, and you're supposed to read it when you get to the door, but they have to be read in the correct order which only the nobles know. So the host goes first, then comes the first guest, then the second, you get the idea. If your players want to infiltrate, they not only have to find the proper mask, they have to arrive at a proper time, and then know to decipher the line written on the mask. And, of course, only the nobles know when and where they're supposed to arrive, and who has the mask to get in.

For extra shit and giggles, you could make it so that all the guards there are either elementals (because "peasants" involves even the nobles' guards there, so nobody living but them gets access - meaning your whole party has to steal masks) or even better, undead. So the whole ordeal there? Arranged by Mask of Winters. Your players just infiltrated a meeting where a bunch of traitorous nobles want to sell Creation to the Mask if he lets them rule the ashes. Or even better, the nobles are long gone, and what your players have been chasing after were a bunch of simulacra created by the Mask himself. So have fun, instead of dealing with a bunch of mortals, now you have a bunch of undead monsters to deal with.

Those are excellent ideas. Oh, and I should've mentioned this before, but the big shindig is taking place in the capital of Coral, if it helps.

>capital of Coral

So you're going for pirate adventures?

One option is to replace vacuum with the inside of a volcano. Or, because this is an adventure at sea, have a giant undead kraken protect the meeting, with the ballroom being located inside the beast. So, if your players manage to sabotage the meeting (and they will), the Mask responds by siccing the kaiju at Coral and wrecking it in the process. He wants to either build his own pirate fleet, or he gets Coral destroyed - either works for him. Even better if he somehow found more of the monsters just lying around, and is using the whole nobles rebelling thing as a smokescreen while he reanimates more of giant undead squids.

Basically, imagine Lovecraftian monsters such as the Deep Ones, Dagon and the whole underwater crew suddenly becoming zombies and invading the land. That's what's in store for Coral, if the Mask manages to succeed in his plans. If he fails, well, he caused enough havoc with the whole nobles rebelling thing that he can start a proper war campaign against Coral with his army of Deathknights.

Damn fucking right I am.

>giant undead kraken

>Mask of Winters

I think you're confusing Coral with Skullstone and MoW with the Silver Prince.

>>339332

How does that even work?

>>339647

Simple, you strip out nearly all the fluff about the primordial war, the first age, the incarnae and so on from the books to try to build up a sense of mystery about these things by never talking about them.

>>339483

Yeah, you're right. Sorry, my bad, the painkillers are fucking with my head.

But still, a kraken or two never hurt nobody.

Are shields any good?

Impossible RAW because Celestial Exaltations don't visit siblings unless it's a one in five gorillion occurence, and even then it's even more absurdly unlikely that they'll have the same spirit shape. On the other hand, there IS a Lunar self-cloning Charm.

they could be dragonblooded or mortal or gods or a product of a sorcerous working or stranger things.

This board is dead as fuck.

Better than the Tepet preview I guess. I know that's damning with faint praise, but so far OPP's output has me unimpressed.

Have you ever thought that we might not like exalted. The fluff is filled with pozz and the writers are actual anti-fa.

I mean, this thread is over a year old and still not on autosage.

>>349863

It just keeps on happening.

And every time it's either a faggot, a kike or a cuck.

>>349898

>The fluff is filled with pozz

like how bad is it? I have a pretty high tolerance for superficial pandering.

but if they base entire concepts on it

or if they stop being a writer and become an activist halfway trough the text its to much.

>the writers are actual anti-fa

that's sounds really bad.

but I don`t really care if my entertainment is created by terrible people

as long as it does not affect the quality.

even tough its a warning signal.

>>345353

I just don't have any sincere interest in exalted anymore.

>>349863

That is highly amusing.

>>350222

>like how bad is it?

It has trannies, bestiality, childrape, every woman is strong independent and needs no man, everyone is a slut and monogamy is badwrong and gay marriage is now a thing in Creation (in previous versions it was a big no no, marriage is for politics and producing a strong dragonblooded children).

I know you're baiting but this one is a legit complaint.

>>350611

>know you're baiting

No I'm not.

It has trannies, exalted that have to rape a 12 year old to get their exaltion, bestiality and society is matriarchal but somehow one of the solar exalted npc characters was still oppressed by the patriarchy.

>>350619

>exalted that have to rape a 12 year old to get their exaltion

You're straight-up talking out your ass because that's not how the process of Infernal Exaltation works, but that's beside the point. The point is that the bits about Lillun were an addition by one freelancer that made it to the final product because the Infernals book was the worst in a long line of White Wolf not bothering to proof-read their own shit, which is why the fluff in the first two chapters are so at odds with the rest of the book. They just didn't do any control whatsoever. More to the point, those parts of the fluff were universally reviled and declared non-canon by every other writer. Not even the most gormless bottom feeders at the WW (now OPP) forums defended that shit. No-fucking-body. Now fuck off to /intl/ or freech or whatever rancid hole you crawled out from.

>>350624

>Everybody hated the childrape, this makes the bestiality, faggotry, general degeneracy and feminism non existent.

Fuck off to /leftypol/ if you think opposing bestiality, faggotry, degeneracy and feminism is anything other than common sense.
