Hey, welcome back, again! I'm in for some more exalted. I'm thinkin of making a Lunar based around Rei. Two questions though. Is the Peter Schaefer Lunar character generation rules allowed? Also, if I buy the Prodigy merit, do I get the optional -2 exp cost for charms?

@Dietaku- That seems fair.

@Kayen- Remove "or add (Compassion) dice to their Dodge DV or MDV" from the charm. That would be the point of the Virtue(Compassion) keyword.

@Ryodan- I'm curious how you would make a Lunar based on Rei. He seems more like a Solar or Sidereal Violet Bier of Sorrows practitioner to me. But yes, you can use the Schaefer rules, and you get the charm discount if you have a prodigy merit.

Sho, Fist King is up.

Also, really? His kill-nuts outbursts in his introduction and his ruthless take no fucks fighting style seemed to peg him for a Lunar to me. So, where would you place the other FotNS guys, then, using Exalted's MAs?

My thoughts?


I'll put up Polestar Wolf tomorrow, when I get a chance. Ciao!

I was thinking more of the fact that, like most Nanto masters, Rei is fragile compared to the other martial artists, which doesn't fit well with a Lunar's resiliency in my mind. Besides, Solars have a berserker charm tree too.

I just got to the point where Ken beat Falco and Jakoh got killed, so this is just based on that...

Sho looks good. I imagine Polestar wolf is based on Taizan Tenroken? The other four animal styles seem interesting too. Are you going to make those too, or do you want me to?

You suppose correctly. Vince and I had the vaguest of intentions for the other four, mapping out their themes and their names, but nothing else.

The Eastern style, Immortal Archen, is based off a theoretical bird so imbued with life energy that its own suicidal behavior is rendered harmless. It would allow you to ignore penalties, slough off crippling effects, and later even gain the ability to grow temporary essence clones which share your essence pool and willpower tracks, shriveling up after the scene is over.

The Southern style, Smoking Cobra, is all about feints, ploys, and explosive counterattacks, as one can shed their skin and make fiery bombs with it to trap opponents.

The Center style is the Immovable Boar, a style based on efficiency and stillness. The style emulates an extinct species of boar which existed in the First Age, and died due to a herd of them upsetting Queen Merela. The style allows you to ignore imposed movement, and grants the user bonuses to attacks should they not move. The final attack would be an all-out charge attack.

The Western style is the Ephemeral Octopus. The style relies on reactions, clinches, and would be more or less the "Luchador" style of the bunch, allowing users, at its capstone, to clinch multiple opponents at range.

Polestar Wolf Style

Well, Vir looks good. The coordination between your backstories is kind of frightening. In a good way. I wish more of my players did that.


Polestar Wolf looks good to me, but the Pup of Mela and Mercury charm's Prayer strip effect kind of sticks out. Makes sense with the fluff, but it does kind of stick out. It will need to be "If a sidereal has a prayer strip to Mercury (as per the Sutras listed in MoEP:Sidereals) then…" or else everyone can use the prayer strip effect.

Yeeeeaaah... Truth be told, these guys were made to derail a Southeastern Political intrigue game. If our current characters died, we were going to introduce Sho and Vir and direct the game to Kung-fu conquest of the northlands. As it stands my character (A sidereal of course) is probably the best equipped for the intrigue and machinations, but I spend to much time either pretending to Dietaku's Slayer's lackey a dragonblood, or both, or running off to win Martial Arts tourneys (just won the Tournement of Flames. Shit is so cash) to be bothered for that shit.

Also, Towering Falcon is Dietaku's Slayer's previous incarnation, who btw, exalted as a result of Zebran's dickery. Remember our shenanigans in Nexus? Yeeeaaaah....

So by allowing Polestar Wolf into the game with that fluff, I let you connect This game to your other game and to Zebran's?

I don't know if I should be offended, scared or congratulate you both for your deviousness.
