				I'd apreciate a little extra.&nbsp; Not so much for myself, but if someone watns to play a sorceress or imaculate monk, that's costly.&nbsp; <br><br>My character--Cerulean Sunset--is a Lost Egg from Great Forks.&nbsp; (Her father was a dynast, but she doesn't know who.&nbsp; She does have very good blood for a lost egg.&nbsp; <br><br>A talented martial artist even as a child, at 14 she exalted (as a water aspect) while defending her older sister from a brute with a chopping sword.&nbsp; She lost her hand in the battle, and capped the stump with a heavy bronze disk.&nbsp; <br><br>Ledaal Gaman herself found Cerulean Sunset within the year.&nbsp; She adopted the girl, took her to the blessed isle, and mentored her as an agent.&nbsp; Ceruluan worked hard in secondary school, learning a vareity of academic topics, charms, and even five dragon stylle martial arts.&nbsp; <br><br>Upon her graduation, Gamam asked Cerulean for something for the first time since she asked Cerulean to come to the blessed isle.&nbsp; <br><br>The rest of her arm.&nbsp; <br><br>Cerulean replid without hesitation, 'it is yours.'&nbsp; &nbsp;The docotors removed it that very day, but by the time she awoke from the surgery, she had a new arm, a magnificent clockwork prosthetic of black jade!&nbsp; <br><br>Gamam presented her with the rest of the artifacts she'd prepared for her adoptive daughter, then sent her to the scavanger lands to continue her research on the anathema and other supernatural threats.&nbsp; <br><br>Cerulean has influence with her family--including in grey falls--and has Gamam as a mentor--but also feels deeply indebted to her.&nbsp;

				Well, I would still go with my initial concept of Peleps born and exalted dynast. But considering Muse took on idea of single handed dragon-blood and is water aspect I would be air aspect instead then. Which can suit me fine as my guy would be Hepthagram graduate.<br><br>Anyways I agree a bit extra over char gen would good, especially those who practice immaculate martial arts or wants to pick sorcery.

				You can download it for free in <strong>here</strong> (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/84593/Scroll-of-Errata). Also google <em>exalted scroll of errata 2.5 pdf</em> for free links.<br><br>It changed stats of items, backgrounds and charms from mostly every splat and core also. Also major rule changes like that you do not need create combos with XP at all nor pay WP to use them. Also starting WP is no longer related to virtues.

				Normally no, but you could in 5th essence take 'Hand of Master' to list your in-arm build smashfist as unarmed weapon for your style....which can be freaking awesome really.<br><br>Although up to ST decide will smashfist be allowed or not as five-dragon style allows use of spears, swords and unarmed fists/kicks with it. It's universal 'soldier' martial art and thus smashfist should be allowed like a unarmed strike aid.

				Exalted has always struck me as game which should be cinematic in nature. If you can give me a good reason to justify having the smashfist, I'm likely to be cool with that.<br><br>And unless there's anything we need to iron out yet, we can start building, yes.

				I have a tentative idea for a character... a fire aspected aristocrat who had a falling out with her sister and left to start her own dynasty. She would focus fairly heavily on social charms, but also pick ones that could help her in combat. She would be very interested in finding the right partners to breed with, although she wouldn't shun the company of other women as well.<br><br>Does that sound like something worth developing?

				Btw, as crafter I realized it costs sick amount of dots to be any competent crafter for artifacts or items in general. So I am suggesting (as house rule) that each dot invested to Craft ability provides ability craft one elemental crafts which is based on dots invested on Craft. So with 5 dots you know all five elemental crafts; Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Wood. Using any of them with 5 dot expertise. If wanting learn magitech you need separately invest on it (or necrotech) and it's limited as usual by the rules.<br><br>And do you get freebie sorcery spell when you gain initiation which is another common house rule?

				Okay, here comes my char (pic is on works still); Ledaal Azuran (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=909025)<br><br>His only gimmick is really that he starts with 3 demons binded to him. One in his body/skin, one in body/stomach and another in yasal crystal to provide access to spirit charms.<br><br>Besides that he is sorcerer who knows transport and message spell (and able summon demons, banish them and counter terrestrial spells). Personal offense wise he throws lightning at people. His only real defense is spirit charm granted dodge excellency and demon which can provide hardness 5B/5L and soak 10B/5L vs attacks (and also self-healing through demon inside his stomach).<br><br>I haven't provided details for his henchman (bodyguard) and his retainers (5 mortals which are non-heroic non-extras). Also need write background but busy with other stuff now write everything down (plus I welcome anyone pitch me ideas for connections between your char and mine).

				Well craft is really expensive and complicated on purpose.&nbsp; I seen guys with high craft make repeating crossbows, land mines from fire dust, pain killers that let you ignore wound penalties temporarily, etc. But the thing that does keep craft in check is that it takes a lot of down time to make stuff and find the materials, time that could be spent training abilities or learning charms.

				Yeah, but the main problem is also that there are total five subschools of the crafting....so you cannot cook at all even if your mastered to make swords (or anything from metal).<br><br>But otherwise crafting does take time and for artifacts it needs also special materials and questing past 1st dot.

				While I generaly aprove of how hard they make crafting, I do sugest a 'liberal intepertation' of the PRotege merit to make it a little easier. <br><br>The merit protege lets you buy a single skill at 1/2 price, and get an extra dice whenever you use it.&nbsp; <br><br>I've let my players use that to buy craft dots at 2/1, even with base ponits, and also eplicity let it apply to all cafts.&nbsp;

				Yep yep! <br><br>Thanks to Scroll of Errta, Three String Sword Prana is avaiable at Essence 2.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; <br><br>I consider it superior to Elemental Bolt Attack, because the amount of damage you can do is capped by Perform--an ability--intead of Stamina--an atribute.&nbsp; <br><br>Also, lore doesn't let you pary with a non combat skill (Vibrating String Defense). You can also enhance your martial arts with a performance charm (tireless string pluckingprnaa---which also increases your sexual stamina!!!)&nbsp;

				<strong>Ledaal Azuran</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=909025)<br><div class="floatleft">(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i163/notdesirable1989/avatars4others/zaer_zps6e500f8e.jpg)</div><div class="floatleft"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ledaal Azuran was born under Ledaal Catala household, Ledaal Catala herself being Azuran's grandmother. He was tutored since on young age to occult sorcerous knowledge and lore and also various languages. He did not spend much time in outdoors like most dynasts, spending most his time in library where he increased his intellect and sharpened his wit. However his exaltation happened on very young age of twelve when he was in library, one his cousins attempted summon demon of first circle in near by study room (he had not given permission to do it but he boldly ignored the advice and driven by ambition to succeed).<br><br>His cousin did summon demon....but as his essence and willpower was not ready for challenge nor knowing spell to banish the creature he called forth the blood ape which was meant to be his bodyguard slew him and crashed into library! Without mercy thundering towards frightened Azuran! He had studied how demons are summoned but also how banish them and had studied sorcerous theory to point he should easily master sorcery if need be. But during the moment of facing rampaging demon who would crush him easily and outrun him as he was not athlete at all....then in desperate adrenaline filled gambit he started chant sutra of the defeated, the words and oaths of yozis what they spoke about being banished to Malfeas until end of Creation.<br><br>In that moment dragons graced him and more than that graced him with sorcery as his life met Salina's method initiation; He had lived humbly as librarian's assistant since age of five, he had been tutored by his elders and older siblings on sorcery, he has through listened tales of elders about their travels and witnessed other places in world through illusion woven tales by tale spinning relative and studied other cultures. He defeated his terror against blood ape and instead running holding his ground and fight with only disposal what he had; by using banishment sorcery. However there was still fifth element; sacrifice. While chanting and feeling sorcery almost in his grasp, his blood crackling with unleashed power of lightning but not yet unleashing it upon blood ape as sorcery demanded it's tribute, so Azuran uttered; "My life shall never be completely free from danger, nor thus boring."<br><br>Naturally house Ledaal is famed for their fool hardy curiosity and their dislike for boredom. But it's matter of choice living such way, but now Azuran uttered it to be a fact which he cannot never change; he must always live life on slight danger forever more and on razor's edge on worst of times. As he gambles now, he gambles rest of his life same way.<br><br>Salina's weaving approved the sacrifice and thus when Ledaal Azuran finished his utterance and when blood ape's stink filled his nose and it's brutal clawed hand reached for his throat....his utterance finished and with flash of electricity and bluish flare of light spell was complete and blood ape was banished from library.<br><br>After that elders arrived investigate noises heard and thus found newly exalted Azuran and the bloody mess of his cousin in side chamber of library. Azuran was invite straight to join Rings of Ledaal Catala and thus he joined in age of twelve to sworn brotherhood of sorcerers inside his own house. He never attended Hepthagram, but he can say his education is equal to theirs when it comes to practice if not access to resources given in Hepthagram. He has studied with sidereals about ancient lore of first age and sorcery. He has acquired a license to summon demons, three and all which he has summoned and binded himself.<br><br>His household focuses on threshold and treasures in old cities and such, so when rumors of new first age city found deep in east reached his ears, he volunteered on mission investigate the place. He takes his personal retainers, wealth, artifacts, knowledge and his loyal bodyguard with him on the mission.</div></div></div><br><br>Question: How good ally I can get with 1 dot?

				The core book says that one dot in ally is an ally about equal to the starting character in power, so I'd say a God blood would work okay for that.

The mercenary was unaware of Sunipa's nature but it became obvious when she returned nine months later and forced him make a oath to take care of the daughter and raise her to become warrior by best of his abilities. In return Sunipa promised the mercenary shall never die by military/battle conflict for next twenty years of his life.<br><br>The mercenary did as told and after twenty years of mercenary life (and taking otherwise riskier solo jobs than usual) he then retired with well earned money once his daughter was old enough pick on jobs as well. One those jobs happened to cross paths with my char who saved her life. Feeling compelled to save his life at least once she tags with my char until debt is paid at least, if not longer. Naturally my char does give her salary also but it's not that important to her.<br><br>Anyways overall I expect she has artifact chakram (and has mutation or merit as god-blood to have access to awakened essence and able attune to it) and have artifact breastplate and daiklave. Besides that she may have some charms (spirit version of excellency, principle of motion and some social charm which allows scare opponents in combat when she makes frightening war cry). Possibly a familiar (horse or simhatta).

				Sounds like we have a consensus then<br><br><em>Called the City of Temples or the House of Festivals by some, known simply as Decadence to others, cited as an example of god-ruled slavery by Immaculates across Creation, cursed by the Deathlords and famous throughout the Scavenger Lands, Great Forks is one of the most prosperous and enlightened cities in the Confederation of Rivers. Known for tolerance, art, culture and learning, but also for revels, drug production, slavery and direct rule by immortal gods, Great Forks is a favorite destination of those looking for a good time—if not necessarily a relaxing one.</em><br><br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e2/Great-Forks.jpg)<br><br>What draws our individuals exalts to the City?

				Here's what I'm writing up for Hairy:&nbsp; <br><br>So, I've been talking to everyone involved but Zaer. I think this is an appropriate summary of what we came u with:&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mistress liked the idea that we know each other from the blessed isle well enough to recognize each other, but the real bonding happens here, when we get in some sort of trouble together.&nbsp; <br><br>Doing this would mean we're all here on personal business:&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cerulean Dawn, a lost egg adopted into house Ledaal by Gamam herself.&nbsp; Dawn nonetheless continues exchange letters with her mortal mother and uncle.&nbsp; Dawn has two agendas being here. The first is to visit her family.&nbsp; The second is to pursue the motivation Gamam has entrusted her with—too discover the truth of the anathema and see them dealt with acordingly.&nbsp; (Well, Gamam is putting it forward more with the ideas of investigating the anathema and other dangerous supernaturals in the threshold, because our lack of knowledge pertaining to them is dangerous.)&nbsp; <br><br>Cynis Akane has graduated from overseer for Cynis family slave work crews to negotiating with merchants in the threshold pertaining to the buying and selling of slaves and medicine.&nbsp; (And recreational narcotics as well?)&nbsp; She is here representing House Cynis in dealings with a specific merchant house—perhaps one that will let her in on the existence of Dream Weed?&nbsp; <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Question:&nbsp; Will this be Winter Crocus?&nbsp; <br><br>Hanako is also here looking out for family businesses, trying to procure import contracts for easter delicacies.&nbsp; <br><br>Tepet Pheonix is here endeavoring to advance her knowledge of mundane and superhantural martial arts.&nbsp; She is currently training at a dojo that instructs outcastes, god bloded, and enlightened martial artists in the demon hunting form known as Golden Janissary Style.&nbsp; <br>

				Well Muse says Malachite might try and catch the girl. Pull a "Yoink" and snatch her from that bad guys grip. If not then at least be on the roof.<br><br>Hanako will try to be on the roof and talk the sacred smack. Or talk smack from where she is to&nbsp; distract him.

				A third story roof tends to be about 10 to 12 yards up.&nbsp; That means you can do it with a miscelanious action and a running jump if your strength + athletics is 10 - 12.&nbsp; If yuo're one or two short you could probably pull yourself up.&nbsp; <br><br>I think I used an athletics excelency to buff myself there to make sure I could leap straight ot the top.&nbsp; <br><br>Exalted IS an anime style universe.&nbsp; Even mortals can do leaps that seem amazing IRL.&nbsp;

				Plus I favour a cinematic style of play. There will be convenient balconies, decorative stonework, and things that would seem suitable to the scene to be there for the characters to make use of :)

				Well Malachite my djalan slave boy is a mortal. But I have no idea about his attributes. Muse was supposed to send them. Hanako doesn't have athletics to make it. So I guess she is stuck on the side lines.

				That doesn't mean she can't move forwards, or start climbing a nearby building to go roof to roof after. That'd be easier than trying to fight through the riot.
