[Exalted] Protectors of the River Province OOC

[SirNitram]

Yes, I will.

[Marcao]

Are we running under the assumption that we can tweak our characters per the ink monkeys revised rules? If so, I will rebuild Yvela with the new rules.

[rhoenix]

Very well - I will look over the changes and do the same.

[The Nomad]

Tweaking your characters is okay. Don't do it when we're three pages into the restart, and don't change it wholesale or in ways that totally contradict past history.

I'd rather have you post using the charsheet I posted in the other thread.

[rhoenix]

I'm okay with that, out of laziness if nothing else. 'Tis your game.

[The Nomad]

Did I mention we would be using the dice roller at http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/ ?

[The Nomad]

I have almost finished rereading the old game and getting enough ideas to restart the game. I think I may have a short aparté with Kolth before cinematically sending Ake and Lyiana away, and getting the game back on its tracks.

Are you done with character tweaking?

[Marcao]

I will be hopefully done by the slight tweaks to Yvela taking advantage of the new character creation rules by tonight.

[SirNitram]

I've not gotten mine done yet. I should have it done soon.

[rhoenix]

I still need to look up the rules and work on Kolth a bit. I'll do so over today and tomorrow, and annotate my progress.

[The Nomad]

No problem. I've still some work to do, take your time.

[The Nomad]

I've decided to gift an additional +6 bps for interesting characters and a pleasant initial game (in light with the guidelines outlined in the other game). Enjoy

[The Nomad]

Also Marcao, it seems to me you asked one day about the Past Lives Merit, only at the time Scroll of Heroes wasn't out. While the book's mechanical value is in doubt, if you want I'll be amenable to you putting a few bonus points in this one.

[LadyTevar]

Spending the day working on the Upgrade. Will post by tomorrow

[Marcao]

I am basically finished with the character, except that I have not looked at the scroll of kings. To see if I understand things correctly scroll of errata says 18 bonus points baseline, nomad says +6 to that number (24 bps) and we get to keep our existing earned totals during the previous adventure?

[rhoenix]

I'll be using Kolth's earlier character sheet as a strong template, but at this point do we get additional XP?

Here he was, as of the last time we played:

:: Basic Info ::
Name: Kolth Inzeti
Concept: Woodsman
Exalt Type: Solar
Caste: Night
Anima Motif: A ferret with greyish-black fur, with glowing runes very faintly visible if studied closely, though the runes shift constantly.
Anima Power: May add 1 more mote to the cost of a Charm to avoid showing their anima banner when using Peripheral Essence, or twice the essence mote cost of the Charm if the Charm is obvious. Additionally, the Night Caste may expend 10 motes to increase the difficulty of all looking for or tracking him by half his Essence rating.

Motivation: Ever since his Exaltation, the dreams he has are are vivid and unsettling; more like memories than dreams. Kolth won't rest until he's discovered what happened to him in his past life, and all the secrets that go along with such knowledge.

Character History: Kolth was the son of a mortal Immaculate soldier and his childhood sweetheart. Kolth was raised to respect and revere the ways of the wild as well as the ways of men - he learned much about stalking, tracking, foraging, and hunting from his father, both in the city and in the untamed wilderness.

His parents both died when he was in his early teens, leaving him to raise his slightly younger sister. She Exalted one night and left of her own volition following a heated debate, and he has since been taking care of his parents' cabin, not knowing what else to do. That night, he Exalted as a Night Caste, and has since taken up traveling. The dreams began that same night.

One day, he met who would become his Sifu - a taciturn Night caste named Melia Sunshadow. She and Kolth have become friends over the years, she taking him under her wing to avoid the Wyld Hunts, and according to her, "give you a better chance the first few years after your Second Breath than I did."

It is from her that he learned several of the tricks, Charms, and points of view from, as well as the beginnings of the Ebon Shadow martial art. She has subtly hinted that it might not be the last he'll learn. It was from her that he got the idea to become employed as a courier for Lookshy, which gave him more than enough money to handle his basic needs (as well as his Bracers and his Chain Daiklaive). And it was from her that he was able to more fully understand himself in a way he was never able to before. They remain friends and sometimes lovers to this day, though he as always suspects that she knows much more than she lets on.

Yep that's right.

Kolth v2.0:

:: Basic Info ::
Name: Kolth Inzeti
Concept: Scout
Exalt Type: Solar
Caste: Night
Anima Motif: A ferret with greyish-black fur, with glowing runes very faintly visible if studied closely, though the runes shift constantly.
Anima Power: May add 1 more mote to the cost of a Charm to avoid showing their anima banner when using Peripheral Essence, or twice the essence mote cost of the Charm if the Charm is obvious. Additionally, the Night Caste may expend 10 motes to increase the difficulty of all looking for or tracking him by half his Essence rating.

Motivation: Ever since his Exaltation, the dreams he has are are vivid and unsettling; more like memories than dreams. Kolth won't rest until he's discovered what happened to him in his past life, and all the secrets that go along with such knowledge. Kolth is a protector of those weaker than he, and destroyer of those who use their power to take advantage of others.

Character History: Kolth was the son of a mortal Immaculate soldier and his childhood sweetheart. Kolth was raised to respect and revere the ways of the wild as well as the ways of men - he learned much about stalking, tracking, foraging, and hunting from his father, both in the city and in the untamed wilderness.

His parents both died when he was in his early teens, leaving him to raise his slightly younger sister.

And it was from her that he was able to more fully understand himself in a way he was never able to before. They remain friends and sometimes lovers to this day, though he as always suspects that she knows much more than she lets on.

I dropped Ebon Shadow in favor of Tiger Style, and remade Kolth accordingly. Suggestions and such are welcome.

(Edit: added 15xp leftover from previous game)

[The Nomad]

I saw Ebon Shadow more as Kolth's style, but then Tiger style is fine if you like to strike from ambush.

I'll review the CSs proper later. Right now I've got to fight writer's block. I had an idea while commuting, didn't write it down, and now I can't seem to make it work.

[rhoenix]

I saw Ebon Shadow more as Kolth's style, but then Tiger style is fine if you like to strike from ambush.

I ended up looking at it this way - he'll have both eventually. I just wanted him to start with the one that most fits his personality now, which is definitely Tiger. Later on, once he's more experienced and such, having Ebon Shadow makes more sense, since it would refine what he'd know nicely.

Of course, with all that said, I wouldn't say no to Righteous Devil style eventually.

[The Nomad]

Speaking of which, I suppose that you could have met Melia Sunshadow just before the restart. She'd have been guided close to you by the vagaries of Fate, have been tracking an ally of the man Lookshy wants you to neutralize, and warned you that you had to get there quick because he migth flee sooner than expected (she'd visited his base's surroundings very quickly and seen signs of impending movement). With a thwack on the head, like a good Mentor, she sets you straight on the trail of Plot and out of the current quagmire.
(Did you start already knowing her, or would you have met her ingame? I can't remember what we agreed on right now).

Unless you players wish to finish the current Keln/Valmer secondary plot. If you pass up the opportunity now, you won't be able to prevent or undo the damage later, going by how it was originally set up, but if, for your satisfaction, you want to resolve it, I'll ditch the emergency heeding.

When we first started, Kolth already knew her - but given how she acts, the above would still work well.

Yeah... an ounce of prevention vs. a pound of cure. I'd like to finish up the sub-plot as an intro to the game, then.
