    Reworking the ability system

    I bought all of the 1E Exalted books, so I am personally reluctant to buy the entire cow a second time, at least not until I know that I'm going to get better milk.

    MA: Ruthless Backhand Style

    The final Charm can only be used if the victim is at zero permanent Willpower, as written, but both the user and the victim make a contested Willpower roll, difficulty equal to the opposing entity's Valor.  If the victim fails, they become the property of the user for a year and a day and must...

    MA: Ruthless Backhand Style

    The Form Charm is broken as hell.  A +(Essence) to all physical attributes, a partial immunity to being attacked and a choice of which type of soak is used?  Come on, the partial immunity to being attacked and the soak selection is worthy of being a Celestial Form Charm.  There are Celestial...

    Using the Horrors of Earthdawn

    Vodok's constructs are a bit odd.  They do not know there true nature and are quite capable of picking up life where they left it, if Vodok wishes them to.  Vodok occasionally creates small communities of constructs and then destroys it with extreme malice.

    Anti-shadowlands?

    If you wanted to create an area within Creation that would not be attacked by the Fair Folk, surround it with shadowlands.  If an area of Creation was surrounded by a ring of shadowlands, except perhaps through one well guarded entry point, it could not be invaded from Creation at night and the...

    Age of Consent in Exalted

    I would say that the early puberty figures that you give for medieval times are because the upper classes of Europe had a diet superior to the lower classes, allowing for earlier puberty.  If I remember correctly, lead poisoning also leads to early puberty in women, among other things, and as...

    A Ninth Nation?

    One of the few Underground races to be allied to the Jadeborn before the Primordial War was the Dha'han.  The Dha'han lived in the Underground and inhabited the True Deep, the system of caves created by Torshamal, the First Worm, a behemoth created by Gaia to draw viens of rare earths and rare...

    India.

    In general, an herbal formula should allow some minor benefit.  A common benefit, in Exalted parlance, would be to allow a mortal to resist a poison or disease as if they were one of the Exalted.  A formula for a specific disease or poison would be a level one formula while a formula for all...

    Age of Consent in Exalted

    Of course nonmarital sex happened.  Humans are mammals, after all, and mammals have a very strong reproductive urge.  There were prostitutes everywhere, and they sold themselves very cheaply.  In the Victorian age, for instance, the average working girl spent at least a few night as a...

    India.

    Blood and Salt is the book, it details both An-teng and the Lintha, who are really cruel bastards, and that's is saying something in Exalted.  An-teng is under the rule of the Realm and is their equivalent of Mexico.  It is warm, it has colorful natives and one can get anything with enough...

    MA Style - Hunting Spider Style

    I don't care about 2e stuff.  I want to know if 1e stuff is still being approved.

    Age of Consent in Exalted

    Hell, the age of consent is still an issue in the USA.  Until 2001, it was legal for a girl of 12 to get married with her parent's consent in NC.  In SC, it is still legel for a girl of 12 to be marry off to a man with her parent's consent.  It might actually be ethical for a man to marry a...

    Lunar's Bow-Bending Method

    You are increasing the Str of the bow, not your character's strength, so it is limited to your character's strength.  It allows your Str 8 DBT form to use a Str 4 Compound Bow as if it were up to a Strength 8 Compound Bow.  As Powerbows can already be used at full effectiveness, they would be...

    MA Style - Hunting Spider Style

    It's a good Terrestrial MA Style.  Buy the way, has anyone gotten any of their submissions approved yet?  I know there has to be a backlog, but I was wondering if anything had gotten done recently.

    A Ninth Nation?

    It's easier sometimes to convert something familiar into something new, especially if you are concerned more with the background material than the specific mechanisms.  I had a completely unrelated question though, has anyone created a nonhuman race, one that wasn't a varient of the Dragon...

    MA Style - Hunting Spider Style

    If they would be willing to give me the guidelines, I would be willing to write it for free, if they ended up selling less than ten thousand units.  I know that my ideas are a bit strange sometimes, but they would definately have the right to edit it as they felt necessary.  It would be worth...

    1001 Adventure Seeds

    You are a group of heroic ghost mercenaries who have been hired by the Lover to debilitate the reproduction of the Dragon-Blooded women and those descended from Dragon-Blooded ancestors within an Outcaste community through impregnanting them with Ghost-Blooded children.  It is suspected that...

    Undead war engines

    For anyone who doesn't have Bone and Ebony, I'll give you a short rundown.  A transcendent revenant vessel, TRV for short, is an artifact body for a nemissary.  The creator of a TRV selects a superior corpse, better looks, more muscle, etc, and uses alchemy and enchantment to transform it into...

    MA Style - Hunting Spider Style

    I agree that WW has to make money, but there are plenty of gaming businesses that give free online material, FASA with the 4th edition Shadowrun adventures for example.  The Caste books could have been put up for free online or they could have rolled all of the Caste books for each type into...

    A Ninth Nation?

    Jakk, nothing in Exalted is particularly balanced.  The Half-Caste God-Blooded children of Solars, Lunars (non-beastmen), Sidereals and Abyssals all have access to Celestial level Charms.  Is it balanced that they have access to such Charms while God-Blooded, Demon-Blooded and Ghost-Blooded...
