Have you ever cried, jumpers?

>>50765712
Yes.

Have you ever laughed?

>>50762935
Essence 6+ Sidereal Charms don't exist, there are no canon Astrological Charms, and the only Sidereal Martial Arts Charms are from half an edition ago.

>>50763957
I guess it's up to you what counts for energy pool merging but pretty much what this guy
>>50764051 says

>>50764343
There's an entire chapter in their book covering this, but essentially you choose a kind of bonus/penalty and the people/conditions it applies in. So you could give Hinata a Destiny that will give her good luck when she tries to free the Branch House.

>>50765622
>But, to be fair, when you're absorbing spiritual entities there's a point where you'll /seem/ omnipotent to lesser beings.
Not helping Gaunlet at all with this comment but hey it's true! You could just /seem/ omniscient with the Shingan from Samurai Deeper Kyo and a lot of spiritual energy perks (Inuyasha and Bleach come to mind). Hell from what I understand Shingan is damn good even with it's range limits and such. Sorry but this is the last thing I was going to say and thread archived.

>Use Deal with the Devil to buy lifespan from homeless people
>Turn around and sell it to dying rich people at a 10,000% markup
I feel sad just thinking about it.

>>50765737
Completely unrelated to Exalted, I have a question about Sonichu.

Do you have any control over how Love Quest affects people after you're done with them? I don't want people to die in a fire because I got bored of them.

Rolled 78 (1d100)

>>50765503
Ah well, I'll roll to see how it goes. It's not that important, I just hate to see all of those shines go to waste.

>>50765598
Anima has a perk for that I think.
It's not lightning fast or anything, but you get it back faster.
Castlevania also has items that can boost your rate of recovery nicely.
You'll have to get them yourself from one of the metroidvania titles though.

>>50765764
No, but it is an optional effect. You can choose for it not to apply when you break up with someone.

>>50765744
Hell yes, it is. It's see invisible, 360 vision, blindsense, etc. all in one. It's seriously pretty dope and definitely one of my favorite sensory perks.

Where can I look to find out what Exalted Sorcery is capable of?

>>50765765
If you were rolling for high, then it went pretty well. I imagine everyone else is going to be pretty disgusted by you getting Gilgamesh hooked on Primordial Crack in exchange for his stuff and then killing him later.

>>50765776
Thanks for the answer.

I already considered Love Quest a pretty horrifying, though fitting for the setting, ability, but the lack of control is the push I needed to just go Sonichu.

>>50765799
The Exalted 2e core book has some spells, and the second book of sorcery the white/black treatise has a fuckton.
You can make custom ones as well, but those all make good reference points.
If you're looking for the pdfs the exalted general has links in it's OP.

>>50765772
Anima also has Megas Therion, which will happily provide you with a limitless supply of ki (Or whatever other mystical or mundane energy you may need). Just buy powerful soul to make sure you can handle the throughput.

>>50765750
Bitch, you don't have to be all selfish and shit. Work off of commission: give those homeless folks a good chunk of what you make off of the rich.

Daaaaamn. Damn, you stupid.

Rolled 5 (1d100)

>>50765810
I mean... dude's a literal rapist and is willing to commit genocide over delusions (well, not quite delusions I guess, seeing as he's not technically wrong about their decline, but you get the idea) of grandeur. I have no problems with it, personally.

But... now rolling to see if Iskander hates my guts too much. I /was/ planning to help him conquer the world.

>>50765893
...FU-

>>50765750

Literally this.

Why are people making such a deal about Deal with the Devil? Ravenloft has had a perk to do that since its update months ago.

>>50765893
>>50765911
Like I said: DISGUSTED.

>>50765922
Because it's new and doesn't require you to go to Ravenloft.
Not like people are really making a big deal about it.

>>50765947
Fair enough. I was just curious if there was something I was missing.

Could you use Deal With The Devil to trade Exaltations with someone?

>Hey, man, you don't want to be an Anthema, do you?
>Give me that heretical Solar power and I'll dispose of it.
>In return for your righteousness, you'll even become a glorious Dragon-Blooded!

>>50765922
People have short attention spans. They like new stuff. Pretty sure Once Upon A Time has a similar perk

>>50765893
Who'd Gilgamesh rape again? Unless you're talking about the mythology.

File: Exalted Sidereals Jump v1.1.pdf (1B, 486x500px)

Version 1.1
-Clarified the Falling Stars Shurikans can't be abused to generate infinite Starmetal.
-Added a bow mode to the Swordbow.
-Clarified prohibition on using The King is Dead to apply to companions as well.

Hey Jumpchain, I remember a jump that offered a pack of wolves as a single companion, or something to that effect, but I can't remember what jump it was from, do any of you know what I'm talking about?

>>50765988
Could there be just a Starmetal item? No discount or anything, just some Starmetal. Because I kind of want to make a Death Egg out of Starmetal once the Classic Sonic jump comes out. It'd be awesome.

So I make my Ardent Blade a Tsundachi, the powers match the theme of the blade but I have issues imagining a holy relic of the Emperor saying "It's not like I'm doing purging heretics because I like you or anything, b-baka!"

>>50765935
... That's fair.

Man, I bet Saber really, REALLY hate me.

>>50765979
Uh, I've just heard the thread talk about it. I think he was trying to rape Saber and she was rescued or something?

>>50766018
Dark Souls 3?

>>50766027
The Quintessence Fountain is basically for that exact purpose, letting you get an unending supply of Starmetal in future jumps.

File: Classic Sonic Jumpchain.pdf (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>50766027
Classic Sonic is already out famalam.
You can also use the fountain in the items section to get as much starmetal as needed over time.
It'll take a while, but you'll eventually have enough for a death egg. Especially if you go with the minimalist design most starmetal artifacts have.

Wait, what? When did this happen?

So I've been lurking CYOA threads a little bit. Are these just so I can have a little adventure in my head? How do I lose? What sets the narrative? Am I missing something? Is there a "babies first CYOA" experience that I should be looking for?

>>50766044
How big is the block of Ambrosia? Also, is the conversion 1:1? Does the lands that follow you part include warehouse attachments (where they can either be deployed or made into attachments)?

I must have deleted the newer one by mistake. Does anyone have the version with Time stone errata?

Electricity because of course I need electricity. I mean, who has time for cooking? Fuck that, I'm getting a microwave and stocking up on… I don't know, canned chili or something.


Force Wall because I'm sure I'm going to piss off plenty of people and need to make a quick escape through the portal.


Shelving because it's free.


Portal because what the fuck am I going to do if I get stuck in a prehistoric jump or something? Invent carpentry?


Free Space because I’m a goddamn magpie.


And Stasis Pods with the rest, because I'll probably run into someone fun eventually.

Yes, but you could also write about it and make self-insert fanfiction or just some builds if you don't want to go that far.
>How do I lose
If you die or fail certain drawbacks
>What sets the narrative
You, mostly, though the jumps can contribute.
>Am I missing something
Kind of.
>Is there a "babies first CYOA" experience
There are CYOA books, or online CYOA stuff. So there's that I guess.

>>50766037
Yup, that had it. Thanks

>>50765988
>>50766044
Would you consider making the Quintessence Fountain a Warehouse attachment instead of something that's installed in your warehouse? Something like a jade gazebo situated in a small garden? Warehouse space is at a premium, anon.

Just enter CYOA online into Google, and go from there. For books, Barnes and Nobles or Amazon or stuff like that works.

Why let such a horrid beast in the warehouse?

Yep.
The anon from previously had it correct. It's not balanced for the chain and I've had a similar perk in Cave story for a little less
but considering that a lot of characters in the original sonic games showed a need for mechanical assistance or downright flight to swim
It felt appropriate
>>50766340
It's a process applied to metal, as far as I can tell. You can probably use the process on whatever metal's used in the Death Egg's construction.

>>50766333
Right I got that mixed up, for some reason I thought that Yu Shan was the capital of the Dynasty. Not sure where I read that.

Sure, I can do this. I have Corvo’s gear, fight skills, and most of his better powers. Damn though, I didn't realize until I played the game again the other day how much this jump starves you for runes compared to it. Oh well, still neat powers. My first real powers, actually.

I told Corvo where Emily was being kept and that the Conspiracy was going to betray him. He was suspicious, but after I showed him to her, he started trusting me more after that and he eventually found proof. I personally acquired proof of his innocence, broadcasted the proof of the Lord Regent’s guilt, and watched as he restored Emily to the throne.

Then I went for a drink with Samuel, seeing as he's one of the only decent people in the entire game. After that, I doesn't most of my time hanging out in the Golden Cat or whatever it’s called. I am immune to diseases, after all.

I think that's because the Dynasty lives on the Blessed Isle which has the mountain that leads to Yu Shan (a bit of a Mt. Olympus situation there)

>>50766369
Could you clarify some Neo Hesei 2 perks?

>Shooting Star - Your martial arts skill is now among the masters of history and you’re also able to sub in and utilize mana as well as other kamen rider widgets to improve your strikes.
What does this do? Is it literally just mastery of mundane martial arts and ability to minorly enhance attacks with mana?

>The power you hold increases the potency of other physical abilities as well, making them as top tier as your strength.
Is this like one of those "connector" perks for strength, speed, and other physical stats, or am I reading it wrong?

>In Your Dreams - Strength, speed and endurance are raised to the point of being able to actively fight it out with and knock around Kamen Riders in their base forms (such as Base States fourze or Wizard’s Flame Style) with a similar boost towards the power of physically based abilities. Cosmic Energy can be used to give further boosts of physical might and speed.
A minor base boost in addition to the ability to majorly enhance that with friendship?

>>50766398
Man, whatever happened to that comic?

>>50766401
That sounds about right, still I am left with the same question as before.

Do the dragon blooded in their capital have access to the modern conveniences that are so rare in the era that the jumps/game are set it?

>>50766452
It ended.

Dub of the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIgOcFIo0kE

>>50766452
If you're talking about the Sonic comic in particular, it finished.
If you're talking about Boxer Hockey in general, it seems like the author got busy and couldn't devote time to it. He's got a tumblr or something, though with the pages up there, and has expressed interest in continuing it, but has not actually done so.

>>50766126
There's no canon answer to how large Ambrosia blocks are. Fanwank it.

But yes, you can include the fountains in attachments if you want

>>50766186
The fountain is optional in each property, so you can simply decide to remove the one in your warehouse if you don't want it, and put it back if you decide you have room.

>>50766224
Against the user, not the reality marble itself.

>>50766456
Yes. They have some buildings called Manses that are magically enchanted to have sci-fi stuff like automatically opening doors or hologram projectors, and just in general quality of life in the Blessed Isle's city is fairly high due to infrastructure. They're likely going to have like Roman equivalents of indoor plumbing, or even better if they spring for magic like binding a demon to cool their mansion for them.

So, The Hunt in Bloodborne is pretty much completely impossible, right?

>>50765988
So I was checking out the Drive and Firearms charms in shards of the exalted dream and they're already looking like a fantastic buy for the price.
I mean the drive charms contain schrodinger's car technique, and firearms has finger guns that actually work. How cool is that?

Do we have a Schlock Mercenary jump? I could have sworn we did, but I don't seem to be able to find it on the drive.

>>50765988
Why did you lock the Sidereal Castes locked to a origin. It seems a little absurd especially how it favors drop-ins by having them be the only origin to actually create a new exaltation for the jumper and their companions. Really that's the part that's the worst-balanced part of the jump in my opinion, especially with the possibility of the creation of 9 Chosen of Journey if the jumper and the mass-imported companions all took drop in. I mean, at that point, you're basically paying 100 CP for a full-on drawback.

>>50766502
So...what CAN one make with Heavenly Artificer Understanding?

>>50766618
Why do you think a new exaltation is anything special?

>>50766603
Bitch, the main character does it while being controlled by a player of varying skill and absolutely no plot armor, while having the same "rez in the Hunter's Dream" shit you do.

Nut up and start slicing.

>>50766502
So a Manse will have at minimum modern luxuries (minus tv and internet)?

>>50766603
What part are you having trouble with anon?
Besides insufficient gudness that is.

>>50766629
AND, he doesn't have the benefit of a 1,000+ CP list of benefits.

Git the fuck gud.

>>50766617
We did, but it seemed unfinished?
Don't know what happened to it though.

>>50766625
Because it ultimately screws over and imbalances Creation?

>>50765988
Wait a fucking second.

>Heavenly Ecstasy Aides [100CP, free Chosen of Serenity]- The Exalted worked the magical
materials into tools to aid mortals in all arenas of life. ALL arenas. Including the bedroom. This chest contains all the Starmetal forged toys
>Starmetal forged toys
>Starmetal dildo, starmetal vibrator, etc.
>Starmetal is made of melted down gods
Oh God what the actual fuck.

>>50766629
>>50766640
You don't get free revives if you take that drawback.
It's still not that hard if you've played the game and know what to do, but you can't just meatgrind your way through things like the MC.

>>50766650
How so?

>>50766667
Wait you don't have the revive mechanic?

Well that makes 'git gud' a bit more difficult, one second need to retcon my build.

>>50766667
You can, you just have to start gud and git gudder.

It'll still be a long road however.

>>50766629
>>50766636
To be fair, the main character has literally infinite lives to git gud. Pretty sure the Drawback doesn't let you revive.

>>50766689
Eh.

The Hunter still doesn't get even half of the 1,500 CP list of goodies Jumper can access.

>>50766667
It's certainly possible to beat the game without dying even without knowing everything. Especially with all the stuff you get with CP on top. It's fucking hard but you took the drawback, did you expect it to be easy?

>>50766681
>>50766683
>Oh, one last thing to note, there will be no respawning during this "Hunt". You have one life as per usual to end the two Nightmares on.
Right at the end of the drawback. Seems like you can't.
Better watch your step on stairs.

>>50766618
Because for a lot of Exalt types, there's a huge variance in the type of people who fit in each caste, but for Sidereals its much more rigid. How could I create an Ending themed perk chain and then justify a member of that background as a Chosen of Serenity? I guess I could have made the perks Drop-In/Bronze/Gold/Independent instead, but I couldn't think of as good a set of perks or items that would fit those themes rather than the castes'.

I'm not sure how it's a drawback? Yes taking 9 Exaltations means that you have fewer allies from within the setting, but it also means you have fewer Sidereal enemies as well. You're essentially buying an entire generation of heroes for your side.

>>50766633
No, you can design a Manse however you want, even make it a statue like the one in this jump. But you can include that kind of stuff, and I'd imagine most people who intent to live in one do.

>>50766663
Not all Starmetal is melted down gods. A lot of it is made from fallen stars.

>>50766683
>long road
You get two days. Have fun with that long road, mate.

>>50766625
>>50766650
>>50766678

Not them, but a new exaltation would at minimum probably be free of the Great Curse. After all the exaltation wasn't there to get cursed.

There's also the fact that their has never been a successful attempt to make new exaltations that aren't the ones designed to be mass produced.

How does dying work in DS3 jump? Is it the same as DS1/2 with the bloodstain stuff, or is it just chain failure?

>>50766704
The gud can travel fast.

>>50766603
A drawback that's 400 CP and higher is not going to be easy, senpai.

>>50766703
Really? I thought the fallen stars were cast out gods. That's what the wiki says at least.

>>50766707
The Great Curse is largely irrelevant to everything except Solars and meaningless to jumpers anyway.

>>50766603
If you take all the blood regen perks it's very difficult for you to actually die barring getting crushed or eaten.
Blood loss is usually what actually kills someone and you don't have to worry about that at all.
Barring eldrich influence that is. If you increased your insight too high you might have trouble.

>>50766726
Weren't the Sidereals cursed so that if they gathered in groups, they screwed themselves over? With the bigger the group of Sidereals, the worse the result was. Like when a whole bunch of Sidereals got the shit murdered out of them by the Akuma Scarlet Empress.

>>50766725
Maybe in 1e? Exalted has problems maintaining consistent lore sometimes. Every god has a star in the sky, and when they die the star falls to the ground, where it can be harvested for Starmetal.

>>50766754
It's not a guaranteed thing, but their version of the curse does strike more often when they're gathered in groups.

>>50766763
Oh, alright.

>>50766726

>The Great Curse is largely irrelevant to everything except Solars

Not really. The Sidereal great curse is basically responsible for a significant portion of Creation's problems.

The simple version is that their curse basically makes their plans more likely to go horribly wrong the more of them are working together.

A set of Great Curse free Sidereals would not have this issue.

This is of course assuming that isn't hand-waved.

>>50766614
>finger guns made out fate

Fuck. I really didn't want to buy that Serenity ftw, but now I might have to. But then I wouldn't be able to import companions. Hmm... could I use SB to gain the capacity to learn them?

>>50766808
Couldn't you just have you companions buy it and then teach them to you?

>>50766808
InNonimeanon already said you can teach others the charms if you've learned them.
If a companion buys that perk I don't see why you couldn't just pick them up from them?
Perkshare seems unnessesary.

>>50765988
With the drop in option could I just ignore my responsibilities as a sidereal without any consequences since my exaltation is more or less outside the natural order?

>>50766826
Yes. Though people know that some Infernal Charms allow you to disguise yourself as a different Exalt type, so if anyone does put all the clues together find out that you're the 21st Chosen of Journeys, they're going to assume you're an Akuma and try to kill you.

>>50766820
>>50766822
Oh, shit. Really? Nevermind.

Is there any advantage to paying for Sorcery perks in Dragonblooded, Sidereals, and Infernals, or are they are pretty much the same thing? Besides separate benefits of the perks, I mean.

Most recent version I could find.

>>50766913
Only buy sorcery as an Infernal or Solar, to use Solar Sorcery.

>>50766913
Infernal Sorcery has bonuses and penalties that regular Sorcery doesn't, so buying it once in Infernals and once in another jump would have some benefit. But there's no reason to learn it once as a Dragon-Blooded and again as a Sidereal.

ALRIGHT SO. Something jogged my memory today. There was a particular jump I wanted to make aside from the weeb stuff I was throwing around in my head. I'm not making any claims or promises, and I have no idea if someone grabbed this or not. But here's a teaser for next year if I don't get bored.

"The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape.
Escape will make me God."

>>50766913
Sorcery is usually just sorcery. Dragonbloods is the worst since terrestrials only get terrestrial spells.
Sidereals is better since you get celestial spells too.
Infernals is different. While you can get Solar spells they're colored by the yozi you're using the initiation of. You can get multiple initiations to pick and choose and you're devil tiger can get its own version for further customization.

Honestly you don't really need to buy sorcery at all though.
It's something you can learn even if the trails are bullshit.
Shunting them into your background is easier by paying for sorcery, but you have to deal with sacrifice to get higher tiers than the first regardless.

>>50766913
the Dragon Blooded perk also comes with some first age archaeology training, or maybe that was the option that gives a discount on the Dragon Blood sorcery perk? Don't remember exactly.

>>50766913
The main draw of those perks is the additional effect. Buying more than the infernals and eventual solars one is rather redundant.
Same with thaumaturgy which leads to the beginnings of sorcery in the mortals gauntlet.

Couple of questions and one clear up: I forgot to change Forceful Invader to Doom Decrying Prophet's Remonstration in the final build, for one. Serves me right for trying to rush out 3 builds at 3 in the morning really.

Qlithu: What IS that thing? It behaves rather like a I AM-style AI, but it seems to have something like a hearthstone which suggests manse of some sort to me. What kind of coonents is it made of, and how hard would it be to make more of them? I may want to make it the core of my own Fate infrastructure in the future, would making it into an Incarnae-level being (through non-Sidereal means of course) be a good idea, hypothetically?

The Black Iron Spider: Is it a particularly old and canny Pattern Spider, or something else? If the latter, who built it if even the E10 Twilights couldn't before the Usurpation? And again, how hard would it be to make more?

Is there a bit in one of the sourcebooks I can look up for more info on these things?

Could someone upload the V for Vendetta jump to the drive?

>>50767026
Is it finished?

If not no, anon.

>>50767026
Pretty sure that's a WIP. Haven't seen the jumpmaker in awhile, though maybe they'll see this and post it like he did last time.

>>50766846
Speaking of Loom-Snarling Deception, would its effect of disguising what sort of being you are work to change the aesthetics of my charms, or would I need to make a custom (possibly Heretical) charm for that? I'm not talking about swapping themes around like Primordial Psychiatrist offers, more along the lines of a simple reskin to make my charms look less demonic. Like turning Green Sun Nimbus Flare from green to gold to accompany a disguise as a Solar, or removing the grey pallor from Metagaos's plants when pretending to be a Wood Aspect.

>>50766763
What kind of destinies can we give people with Astrology? Like, could I give someone the destiny of "you will find your true love and live happily ever after one day" or "when you die, and you will die, it will bring ruin on your beloved master"?

>>50767062
Nah, but it's E3 upgrade Charm Eldritch Secrets Mastery does exactly that

>>50767105
I'm aware of that charm. But it just says it changes how your Essence appears. It changes the apparent aspect of your Essence or makes it appear to be greater or lesser than it really is. But I don't know if that would affect charm appearances.

>>50766985
Qlithu is a Manse. Manses are usually buildings, but they can be lots of different things if you build them right. Like there's a way to build an indestructible giant robot as a Manse.

Qlithu's full stats are Manse 5, Sidereal Aspected, Scrying Stone Hearthstone, Habitability drawback -3, Password Activation(Wyld Revocation only works when asked for), Archive, Divine Observatory, Wyld Revocation(can communicate with hypothetical alternate versions of yourself), Sentient. It's no more difficult to make than any other Manse of the same rating. Qlithu is quite loyal and can be trusted completely if you want to give it greater responsibilities, though you may want to become a Solar first so that you can redesign it with more creation points, or just remove the Hearthstone from the build to free up extra points.

The Spinner is just an Artifact 5 automaton, albeit an old and very intelligent one. It's based on the Golden Asp from Oadonel's Codex if you want to see roughly how high its stats would be. It's no more difficult to create than other Artifacts, but this version has had thousands of years to grow and learn.

I can either buy Heart-String Weaving Matchmaker Mastery and have 100 CP left to spare or gove it up to get Arcane Fate instead. Wat do?

>>50767119
Oh. I mighht be misremembering but I thought the bit about motes having a Solar aspect would do the trick. That said, given Ebby's themes I don't think it's unreasonable for a homebrew Charm branching off it to create an Illusion effect complex enough to "reskin" a Charm albeit with no mechanical difference.

>>50767104
Yes, but the destinies themselves aren't that strong, all things considered. You could stack destinies to give someone bonuses on rolls to find love, but it won't guarantee that they will. For the second, you'd probably want to split it up into one destiny on a person's servants making them die and a second on the master saying they'll meet misfortune whenever they lose minions' lives.

>>50767134
My advice is to go with the one that makes you better in the bedroom, but that's just my own priorities talking.

>>50767176
Oh, alright. I assume having Qlithu and that Spider thing would improve the Destiny granting? Also, I assume it would be easier for a Chosen of Serenity to grant that love destiny?

>>50767104
Kind of. You can't enforce specific fates, you can just encourage them. This works by giving benefits or penalties to rolls that would lead to those fates. Like, if you want someone to die of disease, curse him to lower his dice pool whenever he's resisting infection. If you want someone to have lasting and meaningful love, bless him to raise his Compassion score whenever dealing with his spouse. Stuff like that. And you can apply triggers and conditions, too, so it only gives those penalties or bonuses if they've done something else. It's not strong stuff, but it's not meant to be. Astrology is for steering the Loom of Fate gently, building up a dozen minor effects to the result you want. If you want fast and ready fate manipulation, that's what you go to your charms for.

If you used Item World on a scaling weapon? Would it increase the "multiplier" of the scaling effect?

What about something like *ahem* Let's Give It a Boost from Unholy Heights?

So uh.

As a spider-themed Jumper, and with the spiders and the Loom and the fate-shit in Sidereals. Is it possible to get close to and obtain a sample of the fate-spiders, to recreate?

>>50767202
Yes, they'll give you bonuses on the astrology rolls. Chosen of Serenity aren't necessarily any better at the love destiny, it only depends on how skilled you are at that college (probably The Ewer), but Chosen of Serenity learn that college faster than others castes will.

>>50767217
That's a perk anon, not an item.

>>50765988
Is this finished?

>>50767231
Yes, but they're both perks which affect items. Or are you saying that "scaling" is a perk?

>>50767228
You can just walk into the Loom of Fate to talk with them, but they're going to get really pissed if you try to start cutting them up for science.

>>50767236
Unless someone else brings up something that needs to be addressed, yes.

>>50767202
Yes. You've got a separate rating in each astrological sign. Naturally, each different branch of the Bureau of Destiny gets a bonus to the ratings for their division. Here, let me get you a link to a bunch of homebrew charms for Sidereals. The sections for each charm set describes the association of the sign they're under. The charms are just homebrew, though, don't take these as canon. http://fixalted.bazzalisk.org/index.php?title=SrGrvsaLot%27s_Sidereal_Charm_Redesign

>>50767250
>You can just walk into the Loom of Fate to talk with them,

Oh, that's wonderful.

>they're going to get really pissed if you try to start cutting them up for science.

And now I need to use my stealth abilities.
I am going on record to say THANK. GOD. For my "invisible / separated from fate" perks.

>>50767213
Alright, that makes sense. It's less giving people a destiny and more guiding people's fate towards that destiny.

>>50767229
Gotcha, gotcha, starting to get the hang of this.

>>50767252
Thanks anon, that's really helpful! So wait, you can make custom charms, right? So I could make those charms as a Sidereal, right, even if they're not canon?

>>50767246
I'm asking how you intend to use Item World on a perk like that one?

>>50767269
Eeeeeh. The thing about Sidereal Charms is that the Maidens are particularly involved and hang on to a list of them behind locked doors.

>>50767265
Here's an idea. Have you been to Animorphs? If so, just touch them, gain their DNA/form, then assume the form later, clone yourself, and then experiment on said form.

>>50767269
>Thanks anon, that's really helpful! So wait, you can make custom charms, right? So I could make those charms as a Sidereal, right, even if they're not canon?
Actually, no, you can't. Sidereals can't make custom charms. If they want a new effect, they need to resort to Sidereal Martial Arts.

>>50767274
Oh, I wasn't. Sorry for being unclear. I meant using either of those perks on a "scaling" weapon and the effects of doing so.

>>50767288
I don't trust that giant fate-weaving destiny-sewing spiders HAVE genetics, is the thing.

>>50767269
Sidereals are only capable of making custom astrological and Sidereal Martial arts charms.
They can't do custom charms of anything else.

Astrological charms are fatefucking and causality breaks down when you use them.
They're also locked by the maidens, but since you can get them after the jump is over you could always just wait.
Be responsible though it's almost as bad as dragonbreaking too many times.

>>50767288
I'm pretty sure Pattern Spiders don't have DNA, what with them being magitech constructs created by Autocthon and the Maidens of Fate working together. They're self-replicating, sure, but I doubt it's via DNA. I'm honestly not even sure if DNA exists in Exalted in the first place.

>>50767288
Does anything in Exalted even have "DNA"?

>>50767269
You can't make custom Sidereal Charms, but, without looking to hard at the wiki page to check them out, you could probably reinvent some of those effects as Astrological Charms, which you can make custom.

>>50767288
Pattern Spiders are god robots (or maybe first circle deva of Autochthon, it's not clear) made out of magical metal. They don't have DNA.

>>50767298
I'd imagine it'd affect the scaling like any other effect.

>>50767288
You would need to be working on an Omnitrix definition of DNA for that to work.

>>50767285
>>50767294
>>50767306
>>50767323
Wait, seriously? Oh. Well that's unfortunate. Huh.

>>50767301
>>50767308
>>50767311
>>50767323
>>50767327
...erm. You could use the Omnitrix then? That thing copies rock/robot/etc. "DNA".

>>50766953
What exactly do you have to sacrifice to get higher tiers?

>>50767339
>You could use the Omnitrix then?
It would probably work (Omnitrix is bullshit that way) but you would only have your real body transformed by the Omnitrix to work with, since most cloning methods wouldn't work with magitech spiders even if the Omnitrix does.

Thanks! Oh, Wyld Revocation. It's like the combined duct tape and WD-40 of manse engineering. At this point I'm something of a missing link between a Devil Tiger and an OG Primordial juiced up on the Empyrean Forge's flame (ugh, I know) so I'm counting on one of my fellow Devil Tigers to have appropriate Fate themes to enhance with my internalised perfection. My money's on Manosque.

. . .

I'm being played. I knew I had a good reason to not fuck with Journeys as much as the others.

>>50767390
Could just scan them with Iji's Scanner if they're machines.

>>50767390
Sure, but there are perks for that. Like the one from Teen Titans.

>>50767369
Nothing. You need to sacrifice (and it's more a metaphorical sacrifice than a literal one, you can sacrifice things like ignorance or naivety, the important thing is how it changes you to give it up) in order to become a sorcerer in the first place. Once you're initiated, though, you can just learn the charms for higher tiers of sorcery.

>>50767394
And don't forget Raise the Puisant Sanctum, so you don't even have to do any work to make your manse. That spell is so broken.

>>50767369
It depends on the person, but the idea of the sacrifice is to give up something that's holding you back from your potential.

I think the only actual canon example is Ayesha Ura's sacrifice for the second circle. She used to be the lover of Chejop Kejack, the leader of the Bronze Faction, and was basically a nobody. For the Celestial Circle sacrifice, she gave up her love for him so that she could follow her heart in doing what she thought was right, opposing the Bronze Faction. And now she's the leader of the Gold Faction, making her one of the most politically powerful people in the universe, something she could have never done with Chejop.

>>50767407
By fluff, you need to sacrifice something else every time you learn a new circle.

>>50767369
Something important to you personally and each step is a greater sacrifice.
It's a roleplay prompt and it's different for everyone.
Could be anything from losing a pendant from your late father to getting your arm ripped off in pursuit of knowledge. Doesn't even need to be a physical thing either. You can get rid of your ignorance or hotheadedness.
Adamant/Solar circle initiation is always a huge deal. The kind of thing that changes how your character acts and who he is.
Might be something like sacrificing your life goals or giving up your freedom to dedicate yourself to a cause wholeheartedly..

>>50767421
>>50767415
>>50767407
>Don't have anything holding me back from learning magic.
Welp

>>50767418
Solar circle is the highest right? Hopefully that'll be available in the Solars jump so no sacrifice for me.

>>50767418
Huh, so you do. I missed that line. And so did everyone else in my group. Whoops. Guess we've been playing this wrong.

>>50767428
If you have litereally nothing in your life that interferes with studying magic, you could probably sacrifice your obsession with magic, requiring you to go out into the world and care about something more important in order to initiate yourself as a sorcerer.

>>50767323
Can the aidens restrict your Sidereal charms/whatever else in a different Exalted jump?

>>50767441
Once unrestricted, the Maidens can't put the restrictions back on. That's why they're so loath to release them, there's no going back from it.

>>50767439
Then you wouldn't want to learn magic. How self-defeating.

>>50767441
*Maidens.

>>50767434
It's fine, the forced sacrifices are fucking stupid.

>>50767441
Yes. If you come back to Exalted with the locks still on the loom, all your Astrological Charms are unusable again until they either release them or you move on to another universe again.

>>50767449
You'd still want to learn, you'd just put it in perspective and balance it against other goals.

>>50766614
>Firearms contains a mote pool expanding charm
I'm sold. Doesn't even matter that it's an overdrive pool. That's a huge deal for a Sidereal.

>>50767441
Well they could get the unconquered sun to put you on his shitlist at the very least.
Astrological charms are unusable by creatures of darkness.
It's supposed to be a safety feature.

>>50767433
It's the only way anyone is going to get it.

>>50767492
Infernals can do adamant circle sorcery.
It's just green instead of gold.

>>50767492
Infernals has it too m8

>>50767495
None of you are going to sacrifice an important part of your personality and self for sorcery.

>>50767501
>>50767503
You didn't understand my meaning,

>>50767492
We already have that jump (mostly) and I think the perk starts you out at celestial? circle. Which means the main sacrifice is something you must still do.

>>50767492
Brigids Mantle says hi.

>>50767503
That's not quite how it works, I mean you could, but you could also just pick up a grand heroic task or something.

>>50767503
It's a perk in the jump itself, anon. Besides, you underestimate how power hungry (certain, not all) jumpers can be sometimes

Man, that one patio with the couch looks really comfy. Dang it captcha.

>>50767503
Speak for yourself. I'm planning to sacrifice my hatred for non-Good mortals when I get to Exalted jumps.

>>50767530
>>50767528
Doesn't start you at Solar, which is what you need the stupidest sacrifice for.

>>50767529
Pretty sure any task or quest is just meant to lead you to sacrificing something.

>>50767503
But it's not a literal sacrifice. That's just the metaphor. It's a symbolic choice between learning sorcery and other things that are important to you. According to Black and White Treatises, there's rarely a specific moment when you go "oh, I must give up my INSERT PERSONALITY TRAIT HERE in order to progress in sorcery". You just look back later and realize you gave something up along the way. It's about determination to carry on with sorcery even when there are other, more tempting things to care about, not you excising a piece of your personality to fuel your transformation or anything like that.

>>50767542
At least one of the devs has gone on record as saying you can pretty mich treat sorcery sacrifices like Lilun.

http://nobilis.me/quotes:sorcery-and-sacrifice

>>50767542
Sacrificing my time for the quest. and my selfishness to help others.
It's not really that bad. You can just invest a point or two in a virtue if you're super lazy.
Just because some STs try and charge a literal arm and a leg doesn't necessarily mean you need that.

>>50767564
Jumpmaker seems to disagree.

Just take the fucking DC Occult perk and have someone else make a sacrifice for your magic progression. It isn't complicated.

>>50767542
Again, you underestimate how power hungry certain jumpers can be. So believe me, there are people who will do that.

Also see this >>50767552 and this >>50767564.

>>50767574
Yeah and only one guy has made all the exalted jumps so far right?

>>50767575
You can even pawn the sacrifice off on an enemy.

>>50767574
I don't disagree. That quote is what I was talking about. It's not a pointless sacrifice, it's allowing sorcery to change you for the better. According to one of the books, you can even form a pointless emotional attachment and then abandon it. What you really sacrificed was the oppurtunity to become a better person.

Aw, I forgot to post the jump. It's Generic Post-Apocalyptic

The world itself is run over with water, and a small group of humans live on a small island located on top of the submerged Sierra Mountain range. They’ve long seen the mainland--but they’ve been told never to set foot on it. However, some believe it would be a better place. Some believe a paradise awaits deep in the mainland. But that would change soon.

It’s time for an Actraiser Redux, but this time, I won’t have a god backing me up or helping me. That’s okay. I have a plan. And it’s called using my social perks to become a well-liked leader. Initially I thought about chopping off my hand so it could grow back instantly, but that might be a bit much. So instead I showed off my cool floating island, did some magic, and then asked the people to come with me.

Which they did. My social perks won them over to my side, and soon, we were off.

We reached the green place (Located somewhere in the American South.) and begun to build things. Queen Stellaria and Vyver's helped organize them. Using The Book of Life, I found the plants that would be suitable for growth and health. In the meantime, me and Colress were off setting up equipment to help repair the ozone layer and cool down Earth, as well as helping fertilize the ocean. I wasn’t able to give them a complete education about how to maintain the environment, but at the very least I left them a complete package on how to teach themselves.

>>50767616

I left them a book. I told them to keep this book underground, so it wouldn’t get damaged. I’ve been doing all sorts of things during the jumps on my downtime, and I made a book with copies of the terraforming notes, enhanced it thanks with some magic tricks I developed up along the way and:

-It cannot ever rot, set on fire, water damaged, or get damaged by sunlight.
-Age cannot damage it.
-It changes it’s text to a language the person can read. If they can’t read at all...they can’t read the book.
-Also I put a copy of this book on the computer of the place we built.

I then strategically released some pokemon to help terraform and farm the environment, and swore to myself to come back. And I told the people to act nice to each other and share all they had with anyone who needed it. That if they just cooperated with each other, everything would be okay.

My ten years were up, and I still felt I had more to do. But I had more adventures ahead.

>>50767608
That's a very good point. Your sacrifice doesn't have to be a bad thing. If you're scared of change than yes, having to change who you are to progress in power is bad. But it also offers you an opportunity to grow and become a more emotionally healthy and mature person. Like, I'm coming to Infernals as my first real high-power jump after a long series of jumps to prepare myself for it. Along the way, I'll have not made any real attachments or connections, so focused on my plan will I have been. My sacrifice is going to be that fear of enjoying myself and interacting with others as something that would distract me from my goals. I'll come out of it as someone who can enjoy life more. It'll be a good thing.

>>50767459
They can't jack you on anything else correct?

Right. They used to be able to deny you certain Charms, but that got fixed by errata.

How dangerous is Kid Radd?

>>50767668
I'm 600 jumps in. The only 'development' now would be away from what I want to be.

Are there any charms (for any of the Exalted types we have jumps for) that give any degree of powers to mortals? I want to empower my soldiers.

>>50767735
If you're 600 jumps in what the fuck do you need Adamant sorcery for?
Outside of collection for collection's sake with enough magic boosters it doesn't matter what level of sorcery you have.

Considering he's canonically stronger then Nyarlathotep, I doubt that.

Oh, and Aya's dead. Been dead for a while actually, since humans can't survive in the Demon World. Not even Naoya could.

>>50767756
Also, what if I have lots of perks like Shaper's Authority and such, to ensure loyalty?

>>50767756
Don't you have to sacrifice a spirit you share a mutual love with then it impregnates your brain?

>>50767748
There's the Akuma perk from Infernals. Though I don't know if you can do it en-masse.

>>50767748
Infernals excell at this. Desecration effects to slap mutations on people and charms that just improve stats right out.
Solars are actually better at training effects, but enlightening a mortals essence so that they can preform exalted terrestrial marial arts is much easier via slapping the enlightened essence mutation on them than training them up.

You can also just make Akuma as a Devil Tiger or with the perk. It's one at a time and takes a lot of motes, but the effects are very strong.

>>50767775
I'd prefer a method that doesn't rape their souls, even if the less awful version the perk allows for is still horrific.

>>50767789
Thanks, still no akuma though.

>>50767813
You could always just teach them sorcery?
It's a learnable thing and terrestrial initiation while time consuming isn't that hard?
Being able to shoot obsidian razor sharp butterflies at people is a pretty decent force multiplier if they can all do it.

>>50767748
Yes. Many of them. Both temporary buffs for entire mass combat units and permanent enhancements for individuals. Nothing stopping you from making lots of permanent enhanciles, though, it just takes longer. Infernals tend to work via mutation into a superhuman state, Terrestrials put you through hellish training until your Essence is refined, and Sidereals align you with the fundamental nature of the cosmos to make you just inherently successful at things. Of the three, Infernals are the best at it. Sidereals have expensive and limited options, and Dragonblooded don't get access to the good stuff until they're fairly high-Essence. Infernals can get mutating from the get-go, lots of Yozi have charms for it. I suggest Verdant Emptiness Endowment, from Cecylene's tree. That doesn't have to mutate, it can make clean and aesthetically-appealing upgrades, too. And if the person you're using it on worships you (since one of Cecylene's themes is religion), there's an upgrade charm to make it free to use on them. Cecylene charms can get you a lot of powerful servants very fast. They have to ask for it, though. Even if they consent, they explicitly have to request you give them the upgrade. It's because Verdant Emptiness Endowment is meant for Faustian bargains, there are a lot of upgrades that make people owe you a LOT for the blessing you've given them. But that's really just cosmetic details, if you're using it on your own cult. Just make it some ritual where they pray for power, or something like that.

>>50765988
The 400 cp Drop-In perk seems a little iffy. Aren't ranged weapons and vehicles encompassed by Archery and Ride/Sail respectively?

>>50767813
Well, there is a way. If you grab the "Make an Akuma" perk from Infernals AND grab the...um...can't remember the name, but it's a charm that allows you to enhance and control others? Anyway, if you have that too, the Jump says you can make people Infernals. Somehow. I actually don't know how that works, but you'd have all the benefits of them being an Akuma without the mind/soul rape!

>>50767850
Oh, while I'm talking about Verdant Emptiness Endowment, something I should mention: You can use it on yourself, too. And there's an upgrade to let it give Background dots instead of enhancements that reflect your personal ability, twisting fate so that they'll come to you via a seemingly-natural processes. That makes it a really useful tool, you can acquire pretty much any non-magical resource you need.

>>50767871
You don't make people infernals they just get the urge while keeping their motivation like an infernal.
Functionally similar, but they can't raise their essence above 3 without an exaltation.

>>50767885
Essence 4. Becoming an Akuma raises all your trait caps by 1.

>>50767866
Yes, but Shards of the Exalted Dream introduced specialized Drive/Firearms Charms. You'd have to ask other jumpmakers if you can develop those on your own for other splats, but Sidereals can't create new Charms on their own.

But you should be able to use Archery/Ride/Sail Excellencies to make yourself super good with guns or cars, at least.

>>50767885
Okay, but they still have free will and all that while also being able to learn charms essence 3 (4, according to this >>50767891) and below. The other anon didn't like how turning people into Akuma was essentially soul rape, so this should be a solution?

Can NGE Angels learn the Secondary Field or Energy Projection perks?

>>50767904
It's still soul rape, the end result is just less awful.

>>50767891
My mistake then. That's actually not a bad deal for mortals in that case though. I can see why people would sell out even if it's a tremendously bad idea from an objective standpoint.

>>50767904
You still pull their body and soul inside out when you do it.
Becoming an akuma is a painful and horrifying thing even if you're merciful not to change who they are in the process.
Losing your motivation is only a part of the soul rape.

>>50767763
It was from my generic magical girl jump where I was a magical idol fighting elder gods who were also sometimes magical idols. Actually. I kind of rule that all Nyarlathotep are one in the same or at least pretend to be. Also Lucifer wasn't so much afraid of it; it was more shock. It was like pulling the Ultimate Nulifier on Galactus... if it had failed utterly.
Did not know the thing about Aya... I never played the games and wrote this based on info in the wiki. So I got that part wrong.

>>50767922
>>50767929
Right, but that's why you hit them with Glories That Never Were so they regard the pain as being unpleasant but ultimately positive, like the strain from a hard exercise routine. God, I love Golden Years Tarnished Black and Glories That Never Were. They're some of the most evil charms in the Ebon Dragon's charmset, and that's saying something.

>>50767922
>>50767929
I don't really get the whole allowing free will part of the Akuma perk, you'd think that you wouldn't want to let someone do this to defy you afterwards. Their first thought is pretty likely to be revenge.

>>50767964
Turning someone into an Akuma also lets you edit their memories. If you wanted to, you could make it so that they don't remember the process.

>>50767964
Because an urge is narrow enough to get in the way sometimes.
Free will means being able to make educated decisions that won't shitfuck a plan by accident.
Sometimes knowing when not to push forward is important.
Since they still have an urge even with free will they can't slip the leash easily, but can still not be a retard savant.

There's also the part where you might want to use it on people you actually care about.

>>50767992
That's the thing, if you are turning them into an Akuma you don't really care all that much about them. If you did you wouldn't be turning them into an Akuma at all.

>>50767938
There were other things. Since you have PCT, demons won't stay away from you, they'll come after you. You're their ticket to bringing their buddies/masters into the mortal world, and the Bels and their cults for sure will want you under their control. Not only that, but keep in mind also that Kazuya has to beat the Bels to summon Babel. No Bels, no Babel. So there's that as well.

>>50767929
>My mistake then. That's actually not a bad deal for mortals in that case though. I can see why people would sell out even if it's a tremendously bad idea from an objective standpoint.
It also gives them Awakened Essence for free. For a non-magical character, it's a huge upgrade. I'm considering using it on various technology-based superhumans in other jumps. Evil ones, of course, wouldn't want to do this to anyone nice.

Is there anything else like Solipsistic Integrity that ensures you "heal perfectly"?

>>50768058
Plenty of healing factors work like that. You could also shapeshift the scars away or use healing magic.

Infernals get some SWLiHN charms that work like that too.
In fact the healing factor from those charms is excellent since it works on things that aren't just damage.
You can heal unwanted changes to yourself with it, like someone turning you into a duck.

>>50768084
Could a Pattern Blue eventually learn to manifest a Secondary Field?

>>50768139
You'd need to ask the jumpmaker or someone with an actual understanding of NGE beyond memes.

>>50768149
That's not going to happen, anon. Muyo is gone. Long gone. However, to answer the anon's question:

>>50768139
No. Of the angels seen in canon, only Zeruel and Tabris, the strongest of the Angels besides the Seeds of Life, had a Secondary Field. It's just something they had, they didn't learn it. If you don't buy the perk, you won't have it. Keep in mind that the former took several nukes (basically, they're not actual nukes but they do as much if not more damage) to the face without even noticing, and the latter literally distorted gravity, light, sound, and space with his A.T. field. Automatically. As in, just by deploying the field he did it. It wasn't on purpose, he just...did it.

>>50768217
Okay, thanks. What about Energy Projection? Is that something that could be learned?

>>50768043
yeah your right. I think I'll do a bit more research, fix what I have written and re-post it. I probably could have evaded the lesser demons, the cults and especially the demons who were gods probably would have been a bigger problem. Also yeah... I need the Bels in there.

>>50768226
Again, no. It's just something angels that have it naturally know. Keep in mind that most angels don't seem to have the ability, for example, Shamshel, Gaghiel, Sandalphon, Matarael, Sahaquiel, Ireul, Leliel, Bardiel, Arael, and Armisael. Even Tabris doesn't seem to have it. It's like...can you learn how to see? Can you learn how to taste? It's like that.

Okay so whoever said they were interested in doing the Abyssals jump, I had some ideas if you wanted any input on that. My net's sketchy for the next few days though.

>>50765988
Okay, love the jump, but can you elaborate a little more on what Qlithu-Sohtk is exactly? Am I right in assuming it's a 4-dot or 5-dot Sidereal Manse that gives a Dream-stone hearthstone, plus all the other benefits they mention?
And does the Spider count as a companion?

>>50758746
What happens if we're a Machine Caliber and take the Hideous Mantle perk? Do we get a Hideoze that's sized for a machine caliber?

>>50768267
Well, basic rundown is this:
>God's actually nice here, and is taking a gamble on the human race. The angels thing mankind should be either destroyed or have its' free will stripped, but God wants to give them one last chance.
>Demons won't automatically know you have PCP unless they see you. They won't know you have it other then that and rumors. Bels, on the other hand, might know.
>Naoya will accept anything besides running away or joining God and just try again later. He can afford to do that.
>Lucifer and the other big demons don't really care about Earth. The stronger the demon, the less they care. There are multiple demon courts, but Lucifer rules them all.
>The angels are dicks, except for Remiel. He's okay, though he can be a little condescending sometimes. Still has mankind's best interest at heart, and it's implied that he refused to use God's Thunder and destroy Earth on Naoya's 8th day despite Abel rebelling making him a black sheep among the angels.
>In other news, the angels run the government. So that's a thing.
>Going to Hell/Makai is a bad idea. Not only would you die just from being there as human, even if you didn't the demons would swarm you. Plus, demons are stronger on their home turf, coming to Earth weakens them.

Obviously there's a lot of other stuff, but this and the jump should give you a decent head start.

Already answered here >>50767133, bro. Can't answer the Spider one, though.

>>50768323
Anon above pointed you to the post on Qlithu. The Spider isn't a companion, just a magitech robot.

>>50768350
>>50768405
Thanks, I clearly missed the earlier post.

>>50768335
thank you, I'll probably wind up watching a lets play to try and get things a bit more accurate but I appreciate the information.

In regards to Exalted sorcery I'm fanwanking it to be 3e's far superior version of sorcery.

>>50768634
Thats nice, but why tell the thread?
It's not like things run on hard game mechanics anyways so most things 3e sorcery can do should be reasonably attainable with the proper custom 2e spell.

>>50768646
People were talking about how you acquire sorcery and in 3e its completely different.

Plus 3e has workings.

How hard is Bronze and Gold in Sidereals? From what I know of Exalted, the Gold Scenario would be even harder than Manuals 8 Through 12, as long as it's not your first jump.

>>50768634
That's nice, but how can you use it without third edition essence.

>>50767894
Uh, what kind of swords does the bowsword fire? Because swords aren't very aerodynamic and are relatively heavy.

>>50768634
Well that's dreadful of you to do when comparing 3e's sorcery to 2e's is like comparing a railgun to an ICBM and 2e is explicitly full of setting revisions such as the Reclaimation no longer existing in its' 2e format and the very nature of the Exaltation's origins being different, but there's not much I can do about it other than disparage you.

Dick move to rub it in everyone's face, though.

>>50768717
I don't get that either, yeah. Both factions as a whole should be way more dangerous than some bargain bin Exalts.

>>50768714
By fluff you should be able to pull of workings or an equivalent.
Sorcery is just reality programming/hacking even if mechanically it's a clunky piece of shit.
Making it do what you want is just a matter of study and effort.

Hey /jc/, a bit of a clarification. What exactly do these do in the Forgotten Realms Jump?

Wise Arse
A Back That's Brawny And A Brain That's Weak Smarter Than The Average Owlbea
Charisma of Kings

It says that the associated stats are in the 'top 1% of your race,' but looking through the monster manual, I can't seem to find any reference to some sort of bell curve?

What does this top 1% mean to a silver dragon?

>>50768717
Gold scenario is something that the Solars would have ended up doing on their own.
The hard part is making sure you're the one still pulling the strings.
The bronze scenario is the real tough one. Dragon bloods are weaksauce and if the Solars are coming back you'd better believe they're all getting disposed.

Manuals 8 through 12 seems like it's not a big deal, but you basically have an OC OP circle of exalts that are going to destroy creation if you don't stop them. Exalts are very good at doing what they set out to do and fucking with the Shinma is serious business.
Nobody is going to help you either so you're on your own.

I'd say it's harder since Bronze and Gold gives you a fuckton of backup. Even if you'll have people opposing you that's still easier than fighting/stopping 5 exalts with unknown capabilities based off of WoD splats by yourself.

>>50768786
They do something?
Top 1% is just kind of an approximation. Monster manual given stats are the equivalent of rolling a ten in every attribute as a human.
You'd be better at whatever stat you bought. how much is mostly fanwank, but since 18 is the usual max at character creation you can reasonably give yourself that as a player race.
How that works as a monster I dunno.
The jump isn't very good and the maker isn't around anymore so it's up in the air.

Would Mach 600 be enough to outrun Ajordan? Mach 1200? Teleportation?

>>50768786
It means that your relevant base ability scores are like 17 or 18, instead of whatever your "usual" stats are.
Eg: Wise Arse means you have a Wisdom score of 17 or 18.
An average human is 10 or 11 in most stats.
You may already have higher "stats" depending what perks you have previously, but at least it means you background has always had such high stats.

If you're looking at a Silver Dragon stat block, it mean add 7 or 8 to the scores in the ability blocks (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha), which means an extra +3 or +4 to most other stats (skill checks, saves, armor class etc.). What exactly those scores mean depends on what age category you are, since Dragons advance ability scores by age category.

Special note: for spellcasting classes, the level of the spell you can cast is (ability score-10). So you need at least a 19 to cast 9th level spells.

>>50768996
An Ankylosaurus.
That form, standing on two legs, plus Hulking Brute perk makes me picture it as a giant armored Krogan with a mace tail.

>>50768925
You could probably get it by combining speed force (Arrowverse) and omega speedster (X-Men movies) with Lunar Dial (Touhou). The two speedster powers should get you to Mach 60 easily and I'd say Lunar Dial would be capable of slowing down time relative to yourself by ten times. Or you could get the Light-Light fruit in One Piece.

>>50769023
Don't forget that perk in GHQ's powers supplement that lets you go arbitrarily fast.
It doesn't protect you from going that fast, but you can speed with the best of them if you don't mind your skin melting due to friction.

Thankfully there's a perk in Cavestory that prevents your own movement from hurting you.

>>50768925
Go to a jump that has miniturized FTL tech.
Then assimilate said tech with the Worm Power or Savage Salvage.
I recommend Futurama as it's one of the fastest out there.

>Overlord
>Not mentioning the item that lets you double your current speed no matter what speed that is.

>>50769023
Overlord and the New Sidereals jump have items that double your speed too.
Put those with the Doom perk and you're zooming.
There's also haste spells and effects but I guess those are a given.

>>50769023
There's also going to a comics jumps and playing with genetics.

>>50769023

Nah that's Amalgamite or something I think he means the whole thing where you absorb the SOUL of a Human/Monster and become greater than the sum or your parts. Like what Flowy did.

Chill, bro. Just make that your Anima power for a Devil Tiger. Pretty sure you lose you old one, anyway.

Can you choose the basic placement of Caste marks on your forehead? I want to form an underlying pattern with them, so it looks interesting when I activate all of them at once.

>>50767407
They explicitly say you have to make further sacrifices for each circle. Though Infernals don't have to repeat the process for each version of the same circle.

>>50767552
They also describe it as leaving behind a void in your mind/soul that you fill with a glimpse of the truth of the universe. And the Necromancy version is very much not something you're capable of doing accidentally or without noticing.

And, of course, the Lunars have ways described to help you figure out an appropriate sacrifice...

Not to speak of the First Sorceror, Brigid, who had a moment of transformation and sacrifice shown in the B&W treatise.

B&W Treatise p17
"After a sorcerer completes the other four ordeals, he must
choose between advancing his knowledge or something
else: the love of a paramour or family member; keeping
his wealth; having a finger bitten off by a rampaging demon; or some other loss. Masters can arrange these ordeals for their students, but the sacrifice often happens of its own accord."

"Likewise, sorcerers without masters generally look back and see where they have made their sacrifice. Exalts who transcend the Terrestrial Circle of sorcery must render up another, greater sacrifice at each new circle. These sacrifices often follow the same theme.A sorcerer who gives up her lover might later see her husband and children leave her, and then finally choose between mastering Solar Circle Sorcery or letting one of her children die. These decisions are never easy to make. Those that are easy are not truly sacrifices."

It really isn't surprising that it sometimes happens in the course of study without intent, particularly given the Silurian Working, that engraved learning sorcery into Creation.

It isn't something that makes you a better person, or stops holding you back, or anything like that by default... that is just what happens when someone or something is guiding your path (including yourself, if you decide to MAKE that the sacrifice).

>>50767748
Anything with the relevant keyword...I think it was War? the Harmonious academic Methodology Tree for Solars (or Fiends via charmshare), the Tiger Warrior training tree for Solars (same), Solars and lunars both have various charms letting you invest a bit of essence to let someone have access to learning a fraction of their charm sets... there's Solar charm that boosts their effective integrity as long as they are loyal to you (doesn't have to be fealty, friends and lovers would work). There's also a charm that converts an extra(s) to heroic mortal status.

You can use Medicine to cause/grant people 'mutations', which include things like regeneration, immortality, and essence awakening...

There's a Adamant level spell (sun-focused, but eh), that grants your army, as far as you can see, something like the mystical oomph difference between mortals and mid-tier elementals/gods/exalted, for mass combat.

For the most part, you can do it via intense training perks, to raise their stats/abilities and get them to enlightenment, medicine or occult twist their bodies a bit for power, some perks that treat social attacks on/via them as an attack on you (your group), but actual empowerment tends to be a an investment in individuals.

>>50768925
mantra level VIII from Asura’s Wrath lets you move at the low end of relativistic speeds.
>>50769077
Futurama FTL doesn't move you so much as it moves the universe around you. You would be completely still

>>50769820
>faster than most ground vehicles somehow
Not him, but that description is flat-out wrong. There are people moving at super sonic speeds by the end of the first arc.

>>50769820
Don't Naruto and Sasuke run past multiple countries in the time it takes Kakashi to talk to the Sage?

>>50769771
How good are Heroic Mortals? Comparable to Captain America?

>>50769023
>Umbra Witch/Lumen Sage (Bayonetta) - in excess of Mach 1
Witch time can be stacked.

There is an entire bossfight that takes place in 5 seconds.

>>50769875
Not really, unless they completely max out Physical Attributes.

>>50769869
They and other ninjas can also take so long to run 20 feet that an entire conversation can take place. It's not a good measurement of how fast they actually are. It's the sort of thing vs threads use to try to wank them into being far more powerful than the entire setting shows them to be by treating plot holes as legitimate feats.

>>50769869
The absolute top tier should all be around 2000-3000+ times the speed of sound yeah.

>>50769890
Pretty sure that's just narrative time or something anon, not them being mentally disabled. Hundreds of other anime do the same thing.

>>50769902
That's what I was saying anon. Them crossing huge distances in the space of a conversation was also that effect. It was more a case of the sense of scale/timing not being considered by the writers than them actually being that fast.

>>50769890
How is them moving that fast a plot hole?

>>50769913
Eh, I think it's a lot more believable given how powerful they are by then, especially compared to everyone else. It feels like you're trying to connect two examples that don't really match up here, as them being that fast isn't really that unbelievable since it doesn't create any plot holes as anyone they were fighting at that point was also far stronger then almost everyone else.

>>50769913
How fast would you say they're going then anon? You seem to have an idea, since you're telling us all what answers are unreasonable.

>>50769875
They're a bit more than twice as tough, and get a bit of an edge in rounding and stunts. So not at all comparable to Captn (unless they've been trained to 5dots in every stat and skill) just from that.

Still noticeably better than a non-heroic mortal, though.

>>50769913
Eh, that's like saying that because time stops for Zatanna to cast a spell or Wolverine to hold a conversation mid-fall, that the flash didn't actually rescue 30,000 after a nuke detonated. They're different types of events.

>>50769890
>>50769913

Oh, you again. Weren't you arguing against this very same example a little while ago? I swear another guy was here about the exact same thing arguing about what the author's really intended.

Are there any perks that would allow you to make your summons invisible? Preferably initially and not after they've already been conjured.

>>50769875
I don't really know how to tell you mang. Like this brings up a neat little thing I read once:

"Can normal humans in the real world jump 2 yards straight up from a standing start?
No?
Then its safe to presume that while Creation-born have abilities which are similar to those of real world people, their capacities are in many cases superhuman compared to real world people.
Since Exalted is a setting where everything, including ability to inflict and resist social influence on others, is magically enhanceable there is no reason to assume someone with Presence five ("turn a series of murderous religious fanatics who see you as a literal demon into adherents to a completely opposed religious ideology") is less superhuman than a person with Athletics 5.
And keep in mind "that's just the way Creation born work", they don't need any magical assistance or pumping. They're just inherently superhuman compared to mundane people.
The maximum deadlift for a creation-born is actually somewhere around 4,500 lbs barring explicit magical Charms."

In addition to this things like five dots in Martial Arts manifest as the ability to take on a crowd of thugs with style, handicapped, and whilst showing off.
Comparing them to the Captain who is a "Peak Human" in Marvel? Well comics it's no contest but the Captain from the Cinematic universe is basically an all 5 physical powerhouse with something increasing his soak. Hell the Captain would be a Heroic Mortal in some of his comics, as he doesn't always have that insane durability and his feats are kinda all over the place.

I'm not trying to stir shit up, and didn't realise that this was such a touchy subject.

I personally think if true it would eclipse every other feat of speed in the series, and considering they had good reason to use speed like that at other points, such as in fights or while travelling in other scenes, but didn't, it probably isn't an accurate estimation of their speeds.

I will however leave this as my last post on the matter. If you want to believe it or not I will say no more. Sorry if I was coming across as shitposting, that was not my intent.

>>50769982
Or the system was built around the assumption you'd be an Exalted so when you're using the dots and mechanics for non exalted things get a little weird?

>>50769990
Nope because the Scroll of Heroes calls out this kinda stuff, most people just don't train enough to get more than two dots in anything, as you can just get a specialty much easier as a Mortal than training all of your physical stats and such.

>>50769989
>Eclipse every other feat of speed
You mean like how they've both gotten several immense power ups in addition to already being two of the highest power characters in the series? Wow, I wonder why they're faster then most other characters.

>No reason
Probably because they didn't have that speed prior to all those power ups and when they did get them, most of the time was spent fighting guys just as powerful so we'd have no way to judge their relative speeds since it was all close combat with equally fast guys.

It really seems like you don't actually know what you're talking about and you've just heard about the series from threads a bit.

>>50770006
>No reason
Should be ">considering they had good reason to use speed like that"

>>50769989
Well, actually, final form Madara has the best clearly calc'd feat of speed, just before these two run across countries, and he was at something like 3300 Mach. Which seems pretty consistent with the two guys roughly around his level running across countries in seconds.

>>50769023
An Imaginos body from GUNNM might also be very good for speed. The jump document says it begins at (and will vastly surpass) 100 times peak human which is around 12.4 m/s so multiply that by 100 and you get 1.24 km/s (around Mach 3.6).

Or, to put it another way, Alita in such a body managed to run fast enough to experience red/blueshift while running on foot.

>>50770028
Who was it that dodged lightning again? I remember that being a huge thing.
Inb4: Naruto dodged point blank FAL lasers!

>>50770097
Several people I think. The most well known is probably Naruto not only dodging the Raikage's Lightning Straight but also running around him and ending up where the Raikage first attacked from. I think Gaara's sand blocked it from close range once too, but that might've been Amaterasu.

>>50770122
No not the lightning straight. Natural lightning, it was supposed to be a big thing for the average Jonin or something.

>>50766950
hey heavens. I'm reading the Suit Up option in Metroid and is that triggered by a thought or is there some kind of Henshin device involved ?

>>50770004
Though you can be a non-heroic mortal with 5s, or a heroic without... this stuff isn't dependent on that.

>>50770131
Uh, that time Kakashi cut a lightning bolt maybe? That was back when he was a lot younger and in ANBU so it might apply to the average jonin like you say?

I'll have to have a look around I guess.

>>50769890
They clearly have Talking Is A Free Action perk from DC Occult.

>>50770139
Yeah.
If you were to take the best guy at... let's say fist fighting. The most optimized battle monster I can readily think up would have their Dexterity 5 + Martial Arts 5 + a Specialty 3 + Double Jointed for 4 more dice + average stunting of 1 additional die = 18 dice and an average of 9 to hit in a world where the Exalted have DV's around 5-9 barring similar combat monsters who'd have a firm hold on a DV of 8-12. This is a guy who can with great effort can hit the average Exalt and makes most of the other mortals around him look very bad at his specialized skill set. This guy, a beast that fights on the levels of the little Gods in his world, would be equal to the average Captain America.
Now lets say you're going to take the Warrior line of perks from Mortal Heroes Gauntlet written by Gaunlet that'll end you at having the power of the above character along with some neat techniques called Excellencies, though they are the worst of their kind, which basically just make you do better. Charms could be used to do anything from storing actions for later with Principle of Motion to Perfectly blocking attacks no matter their damage output, esoteric stuff like that.
On average they have, I believe, Dexterity 3 + Martial Arts 3 + average stunting of 3 additional die = 9 dice and an average of 5-6. These are supposedly organic in their birth, basically they didn't get to pick and choose wha they put their dots into. With Charms and artifacts one of the most lethal people in the world is a Mortal. He's called the Perfect of Paragon and you don't fuck with him.
