The Gaming Den

Well, I see nothing impossible in setting wich was actually was created by one true God (christian, no islam, zoroastrism and such), and he hates homosexuals and even sex for pleasure. Do Ars Magica qualify? But we are promised game about pirates, not about sinners in the world created by God as Bib...

Yep, it can. I meant that Soul stat while being impossible to max works quite illogical, making character tougher against torture. Which is not the most relevant thing in most games (well, in my games, but V. Baker probably had other games in mind, with lots of rape and torture). And the problem is ...

Not sure of Devil being "people" but he surely will be insulted by comparison with V. Baker.

As the game is outright terrible, I see it prone to max-maxing except Soul which works like logical fault.

Nearly every woman I know has been raped or molested in their lives. Failing that, they've been subjected to harassment that was very close, or seemed like the beginning of same. And I live in the capital city of Califronia, Sacramento, not Hell's Kitchen. Hardly anyone I know has been murdered in ...

Because most people playing RPGs don't have personal experiences with those things, but rape is still disgustingly present in modern society. So dealing with it in game can cause personal discomfort and suffering on a scale that's impossible when other crimes are mentioned. Aaand again wait what? Y...

Prak wrote:Murder and even torture and cannibalism are things you sort of expect to come up in an RPG, rape isn't, and shouldn't be.

Wait what?
Rape is ths most grievous crime, way over torture, murder and cannibalism?
WTF is with modern internets?

Honestly, I don't believe in Exalted 3E.

And as for now I don't think that Storytelling based Exalteds would ever be better than Anima: Beyond Fantasy I'm playing now.

It seems that this thread will outlive the Exalted system itself.

The second is that the duration is short enough that

And if you will ever make duration like hour per CL it may result in swarms of summoned creatures who are total pain in the ass even if they all same ans act on same initiative.

Ears of the Mage feat from 359 DrM

I'm sandbox one. My impact to the game is to make the beginning of the story (just because most of times my players don't tend to seek troubles on themselves), to write a decent house rules and to model the events after PC actions. Couple of times I had problem when players felt being lost in fog no...

the DM knows ahead of time that the players want to use one or more Death effects and is metagaming accordingly. After MIC it costs 4k to have contingent deathward. And if your company do some optimization to buy this immunity is perfectly logical unless dm especially want opponents being vulnerabl...

Death Wards duration is very shitty for what it does. Also very few creatures have Energy Immunity: Sonic. Also of course it's not hard to have all four basic energy type just use Energy Substitution Meta-Magic. Some death wards are triggered and some are persistent. Also energy immunity:Sonic is w...

Hahahaha, oh that's rich. Have you forgot about Death ward or Energy Immunity:Sonic? You know that monsters have natural immunities, right? You know, unless they're Saint they usually have one immunity. You know it's not hard to have any of four basic energies for any spell at your disposal? Meta m...

First, no one fails saves against wail of banshee. Second, packing opponents with precasted energy immunity or such will result in one thing — one more guy with the sword get kicked out of party and replaced by Cleric with dispels (and any other useful things), so he will make something like 37 disp...

So yes, 10 points a level to multiple opponents is too weak Yeah, sure, if your DM banned all these free metamagic tricks. Otherwise we can multiply it. with 15 per CL damage or more. Easy mode, huh? 15 damage per CL kills almost anything with one round. Why within one round even if mobs have 300+h...

Control Winds — destroying cities and sinking fleets at level 9 (have to max CL, but it's simple), unless GM gets pissed and start placing bunch of CL 15 spellcasters at every location. Regeneration is overpriced. There is almost no means to dismember someone (unless he is hydra or kraken) not menti...

It increases not only DC but also numerical effects usually linked to caster level.

So it won't screw them if they want to multi-class.

I hope druid Wild Shape progression is linked to charlvl so it won't screw them if they multiclass?

Why do these invocations use Character level to calculate their growth? Warlock have Caster Level already.

>> . So people who go on rube goldberg causality rants have a much larger casting pool
Let me remind you that ST is the one who determines the (im)possibility of event becoming in "natural" way. So once again we have to suck ST cock.

>> you can make the paradox cost nominal by sicking ST cock or smth like this
I fixed your sentence. Btw afair paradox cost is equal to highest sphere used in spell. But I forgot is this a revised version or not.

but the Mage's power is supposed to be limited by the paradox rules, which are ignored just as often as the Vampire humanity rules. Ignoring the paradox rules is more like ignoring "your blood points are limited" rule. Without paradox mages are effectively have unlimited "pool" ...

Kaelik, is it so hard to take some 4+ level invocation or what?

Btw, even if warlock took SNT, opponent can precast ray deflection spell and warlock still suck cocks (also he can feel snt being wasted feat, because when he can use blast it cuts its dpr by 2-3 times because of lack of metslas).

You're fighting a warlock who makes touch attacks and you have fifth level spells like overland flight. If you have 5th level spells then he possibly have some lvl 4 invocation. Also I remind that whole this whole situation is possible under next set of circumstances: 1. Spellcaster bbeg... 2. ... ...
