even stranger...what if a Lunar ate the pregnant woman- theres more than one hearts blood in her so would he be able to change into a fetus?

well if a deathlord has 10 solar essenses he CAN choose which one he gives to which person... but the idea of a lowly uber powerful solar ghost unmaking the work of the sun himself is just goofy

one change that i've made is to allow lunars to combo lunar charms and martial arts charms freely the book suggests that lunar charms dont combo with martial arts but this doesnt make any sense. a truly protean shapeshifter would be a martial arts badass second only to Sidereals think about...

using called shots against the characters is a good tactic if one of the players starts to get out of hand with it- if your players pop one too many heads I reccomend taking their hand or foot- possibly an eye theyll have to decide later wether theyre going to try and find someone to regrow...

Burning Palm- getting hit with it once can be good for the story but as a player, the second time the GM hit the same character with rune of singuler hate i would put my character sheet away, pretend that those words were never spoken, and leave. who cares if the rules allow it... lame is lame

Has no one mentioned 'Fist of the North Star'? go watch the old animated version of Fist of the North Star that movie is an hour and a half of pure Exalted- I read charm descriptions (such as Blade of the Battle Maiden) all the time and am constantly reminded thet alot of the best Ideas of...

Actually its kinda cool... well he knows he can never have that spell used on him again hes got that goin for him besides maybe he can get his stuff back by some weird quest deep into the recesses of the characters soul ( you could let the player play some diety-perhaps the one that allows...

2 more ideas for you 1 prizm stone- this stone refracts light around a character allowing him to cast visual illusions around himself like a cloak. This is ONLY a visual effect but within its limits its very powerful make a manipulation+occult- this is the result needed on an opposed roll (...

the first thing that comes to mind is Anteus from greek myth- perhaps the stone gives regeneration (a la lunar) to the person attuned as long as they have their feet on the ground like Anteus or perhaps it has the same armor statistics as super heavy plate but it counts as 'natural' so you...

well I know some folks dont like these but I think for me its a tie between Courtesan and Reighteous Devil- i think these 2 really define martial arts in this game and are good examples to anyone trying to make your own style- it really shows martial arts in exalted as not about Karate chops and...

Arthemis Rex...er... I am kinda loosley based on Alexander the Great and Roman general named Ambrosius all that greek imagery has been really useful to me and I highly reccomend looking to this and other Mythos as a source of inspiration whether you use a shield of not

the core book talks about how artifact shields are especially rare and almost all of them are artifact 4 or 5 this is because its a bad idea to make a weak artifact and use it to soak damage- shields get destroyed- big suprise the book suggests these high artifact shields generally have...

dont get me wrong i love the game but there are a few things that needed tweaking from the original core- first of all is the Solar anima abilities which are totally diminutive eg twilights can spend 5 motes and soak a couple damage points while no moons can spend 5 and then subtract that...

i would still use 10 as the flat max for exalts- besides unless you raise your essense every time you play or you play a game that lasts years and years youll never get to 10 anyway regardless of experience costs it should be exponentailly harder and more time consuming to raise your essense...

i dont think there would generally be direct effects of a city god -think esoteric luck, salvation from some cataclysm- that kind of thing IF the city god intervines it is generally because the people of that city give him worship or tribute or buth and a citygod without a city has no job...
