Drow queen.

bump?

Interested party bump

I picked up the book ages ago after seeing how ridiculous the character sheet is. Problem is, I can't fucking make heads or tails how to make a character. So the book has been collecting dust on my shelf.

I've made a few characters before. This pdf helped me a lot along the way, though it took me a few tries to get a handle on everything.

>Green is third
Why?

>>52767432
I dunno. Green gives you both fixing and ramp in this set.

What system makes the world and its logic revolve around the PC so much that they become borderline Mary Sues?

To be fair, he's probably a midrange warrior fighting goblins. He got his ass wrecked by an ogre.

I'm asking mainly because the second novel came out and they're about to fight a beholder and I want to know where that might set him.

>He got his ass wrecked by an ogre
Until he pulled THAT out of his ass.

I've always liked this over the D&D alignment system.

[spoilers]Apologies if my Exalted-fu is a bit weak, here. The game mechanics are mostly bollocks anyways.[/spoiler]

Let me tell you a tale. A story of how I ended up in one of the worst places in the entire Multiverse to be a normal person, a story of how I ended up part of a terrible sitcom, how I got to experience something akin to fatherhood for a few years, and then experiencing humility in no small measure.

I had been recruited to look after a young Solar Exalt named She-Of-Fair-Eyes, while also having a bizarre Fate to constantly attract bandits of increasingly colorful designs in addition to having the world's worst roommate traveling with me. First thing I notice is that I'm a lot slower to learn things and a lot of my skills have gone down to muscle memory. Oh, and my magic and spider powers don't work. And most of my items are gone. And my Warehouse.

>>52827874
Fucked up the spoiler. SCREW IT LET'S KEEP GOING.

Let me summarize my reaction upon comprehending where I was:

'Oh hey, I'm in Creation.'

'OH FUCK I'M IN CREATION.'

Everything I had experienced to this point could be overcome with grit and guns. But not only am I a mortal, I'm a mortal at the start of the Age of Sorrows. You know the thing about worlds where adventure is around every corner? Where there's always some plot hook for an aspiring hero to grab? Yeah, it's complete and utter hell for the mooks and ordinary people who live in said world. I had to survive it all. Which meant running away from anyone who glowed or was on fire, picking my battles, and getting very good at tactical retreats and fighting unfairly.

Ten years is actually a pretty short time for a stay in Exalted, but as a mortal, it is a harrowing walk on razors.

And then there was She-Of-Fair-Eyes and her eventual not-a-sister, Makoto. I'm not good with kids. At all. Much less kids who will eventually grow up into things like royalty or goddess-queens or things like that. She didn't mind very much. Initially, she was unhappy with the arrangement like I was, and being a caretaker to an Exalt is a bit like trying to ask a dragon five times your size to please stop destroying your village. Okay, it wasn't THAT bad, but…I have no idea how to do this 'parent' or 'caretaker' thing. Eventually, though, we started getting along better

When I tried recreating my poncho with some cloth we had found at a market, she tried making a little one of her own. It took all of my ability to keep a gruff expression and not reveal a proud smile. I was getting attached. After a while, it didn't feel like I was a helpless mortal hero escorting a pair of child Exalts. It was just us, a traveling family.

>>52827886
Of course, all good things come to an end eventually. I made the mistake of joining a local martial arts tournament in a seemingly-isolated town, a bit more distant from the Realm's stretch of the Scavenger Lands. The winner got a handful of treasure and what I assume was a minor artifact. Sure enough, aside from a few close calls, I rolled over the competition.

Then I met her. A tall, imposing woman with untidy golden hair and a lazy expression. I sized her up. Sure, she looked like she punched like a runaway dump truck, but I had beaten opponents twice my size before. I could handle this, even without magic, web powers, my gun, or even my sword. I pat Eyes' head and told her I would definitely win if she rooted for me.

I was a complete and utter idiot.

I should have realized something was wrong when she offered me a few 'free hits'. Turns out it felt like I was punching concrete, and my stomach sank when I realized my mistake. I was then punched and knocked into a wall, feeling my bodes rattle and bruises form from nearly head to toe.

I was still on my feet. Whoever or whatever she was, she hadn't used any Charms yet. She was just that fucking strong. The smart thing to do would have been to forfeit right there. Then I looked back and saw Eyes and Makoto both watching me. I struggled to look brave and smiled at them before getting into a stance.

Remember the basics of CQC. The opponent is obviously physically superior to me, but I have over a century of skill and experience. I'd tire them out. Dance around them. Strike at joints or gaps in their defenses, use their movements against them, turn around the momentum and just knock them off their feet. A quick blow to the chin and it looked like I knocked her off balance. I ran in for the finishing blow and…

Gonna give my fellow Void Brother here a bump of camaraderie because I'm doing pretty much the same, although I was gonna do a Gladius. Now you've got me reconsidering, though. Hm.

>>52826889
Maybe a mix of a CAD and a few formations here and there.

>>52826982
What formations would you suggest for a sufficiently assaulty Carcharodons army?

>>52825677

I don't see why that's a problem

>campaign is murderhoboing around in the fantasy balkans
>player brings some samurai who was totally a noble from a house that was betrayed and murdered by the evil emperor

I still can't get over this guy.

>>52825735
It's the most generic villain by far. Want to make an evil character? Rip off Warhammer 40k! Especially the Imperium, because they're like Nazis because they dont like other races.

>>52824895
Only 1 of the 5 decks I have built is on that list. Neat.

Also, infinite are for scrubs. That being said, most I encounter tend to be pretty easy to answer. I know the "dies to doom blade" argument has flaws, but therr's also merit to it. Generally you'll want exile effects more than destroy, but blowing up their toys can still give you several turns work around them.

If everyone at your table, including you, is running infinite, then there really is no grounds to complain.

If there's just that guy, kill him first. Politics his ass out of the game so fast he has enough salt to make the dead sea jealous.

If you're the only one without infinite, find new friends.

Most of those commanders are not the most powerful decks in the format. Some, like gay kings, aren't even good.

>>52825035
Wait, whut?
>checks again
Oh god, why are they on there? I have them built for shits and giggles. They're terrible. Guess I'm 2 of 5 from that list.
