Wow. That's a ton of stuff, which overrides most of what I had.

I don't think the adamant hero form charm you have is particularly good, since it will give almost no benefit to a non-Planetar who learns it. I think it would be better as an off-form expansion charm.

The Diamond Mates

Just as the Solars and Lunars were bound mystically one shard to another, so too were the Planetars and the Sidereals bound as such. While, this did little to assist in the friction between the two Incarnae, Autochthon did so to prevent one from outright slaughtering the other, citing the need of both Exalt types to prosecute the war on the Primordials. on the other hand, it is hinted in several ancient passages that it is because of this bond that the Maidens sought to ignore the cries for assistance that the Planetars gave off in their final acts of arrogant self-destruction, seeing their Chosen as needing no such baggage in their pursuit of correctly aligning Fate. However, should the Maidens will it, these passages say, Fortuna could easily reborn. However, it would be easier to make Malfeas calm than to browbeat the Maidens into ressurecting their old nemesis.
I'm just going to point out that keeping this section would require at least 20 additional Sidereal shards to keep numbers even.

Cool.

@Kesler: In hindsight, I agree, and altered them as such. I also added some new charms for your perusal, and would be interested to see what you have, anyways. If you have an ideas for Planetar charms, too, I'd like to see them. FYI, I see their schticks as being shaping, mutations, and sorcerous actions, if that's not immediately apparent.

And I like the NPC stuff, too.

First Session After-Action Report: Exalted is a Cool Guy, Eh Battles River Gods and doesn't afraid of Nothing.

Mostly spent going over character creation. I realized in my attempt to create a Eclipse Caste that they suffer from Dawn Caste Syndrome in that their abilities are bizarre as hell and not really that general for being the supposed "Generalists" of the Solars. We then ran a short adventure concerning us (My Eclipse Caste and another guy's Night Caste Woodsman) beating the crap out of a river god. This resulted in some amazing rolls by myself and not so many by our newcomer. Thus, many dead mercenraries met their ends due to a smashfist-armed martial artist, who managed on several occaisions to punch people's heads off.

Afterwards, Vince stepped down from STing, citing his lack of ideas. Oh, what fun I shall have. I already have an idea for what to do with them.

Speaking of MA styles, Kesler, do you have any DB (Any level, doesn't matter) styles for Water Dragons with daiklaves as form weapons?

Um, wow. That's a lot of stuff, Dietaku. And Water DB styles using a blade; Five Dragon style? Or did you mean fan-created ones? You're not entirely clear.

For Canon styles, we have Five Dragon, which is pretty well balanced and has the Daiklaive. Seafaring Hero has the Reaper Daiklaive and is fairly good, even if your not in a Western game. Falling Blossom is a Cult of the Illuminated TMA style that uses Daiklaives. Path of the Arbiter allows any one form weapon, and is fairly solid, if not good. Even Blade is the epitome of the daiklaive styles, and has a fluid capstone (one of which is purposefully left blank).

For Fan built styles, the Seven-Feathered God-Hero Style is pretty well balanced and would have some interesting fluff implications. The Salt Pentagram of the Transient Pentagram Styles has the dailkaive as the form weapon. All of those styles look pretty well built to me.

JiveX's Martial Arts Styles (found here) have historically been very good, as far as I've used them. Of them, the Pious Exemplar of (Virtue) Style and Unsung Hero styles can allow daiklaives.

I've never really had to worry about a dearth of TMAs that used daiklaives. For CMAs, I made Lord of the Storms, but that was Air-aspected. I never made a celestial style that was Water-aspected.

Oh great Exalted guru, how would one go about constructing the charm tree for a Malfeas or Autochthon-based SMA?

Thanks for that, Kesler. The reason I asked is I'd like to build a Water DB NPC for this Exalted gme I'm hosting based aroud Five Dragn style, but I can't seem to find mch tht would allow me to build up upn this apart from abandoning the daiklave or going into a totally different thematic style. Hence my question.

I too, am interested in seeing how a Yozi SMA or Autochthon SMA would be, although I hve a feelig that Malfeas could easily be based off the Scarlet Battlefield style, as his themes are similar to the overkill expressed in that style, nd Autochthon? I see him as a six form version of PAoC, but with robots. Possibly the main form being "8 Divine Miisters Form" which allows one the ability to wield all artifacts attuned simultanesouly and empower their small gods to let them use charms as innate actions to bolster you? After all, Autchthon was never one for direct action, but building up his allies with magitech to make the problem go away.

Well, I'd say that I'd use Prismatic Arrangement of Creation style as a template, due to it's connection to Gaia. Scarlet Patterned Battlefield might work for Malfeas, as a Yozi is more singular in nature than a Primordial, but I'd use PAoC anyway.

For Malfeas, I'd base the sub forms on Malfeas' important concepts, namely him as a the Tyrant, Brass City and World Prison. So there would he the Devil-Tyrant Form, the Brass City Form, the World Prison Form, and I guess a two charm Vitroil Form. Those four lesser forms would feed into the greater Maimed Tyrant Form.

For Autochthon, I guess I there would be a Form based on the Authochthonian elements, one on the Protocols, another for the Void and one for the divine ministers… But this is a project that would take a lot more time and thought.

The Autochthonian one (Primordial God-Machine Emulation Style?)would have to be created by a Sidereal… but the resonance with Autochthonian essence might make it usable by Alchemicals…

While the Malfeas SMA (Maimed Tyrant Style?) probably was made by a Solar Akuma in the first age… and might even be usable by Infernals.
