Creating a decent Raksha in Creation.

[Hand of Destiny]

Any ideas on how to create a decent Raksha in creation that won't die the first time it crosses paths with a Solar.  The assumption charms are okay but nearly every other charm is related almost entirely to shaping combat.  Which is useless unless you plan on staying home in your freehold.  I know, Iknow that creation is antithetical to the Raksha but it would still be nice for them to be challenging and have a fair fight.  Any thoughts or suggestions particularly for charms.  I know it needs a gossamer cost to be used in creation.  Storywise its no problem its just mechanicaly creating cool effects without fudging the issue.

LOL Here here.


In my half caste game I'm trying to make the heroic commoner villain reliant on something more then just his attributes and abilitys.


but something I did find are the temporary mutation charms.


they can be quite useful.

Name charms (FF, p. 155-156)


Curse of Definition (FF, p.170)


Body Strengthening charms (FF, p. 178-179)


Mutation charms (FF, p. 202-205)


 Not all of these are comparable in power, natch.


 Ultimately, it comes down to the Fair Folk's armament. Give the noble enough Glamour Sorcery, Wyld Artifacts, Oaths, and possibly even a behemoth or three, and you can at least challenge most Solars of Essence 4 or less.

Fairly decent Creation-based fae on the wiki.

 

[Obsidian Silence]

Bastion of Self - Sword = cannot be hit / take damage from anything not charm driven.


Imposition of Law - Melee/MA/Archery/Thrown/Brawl  will always hit/parry/get in clinch unless defended by charm.


That pretty much deals with all peons and non combat exalts.


Pocket Behemoth - deals with alot as well.

 

[Silence In Daylight]

Not quite true--it can explicitly be stunted around.

 

[Obsidian Silence]

you ever seen an extra stunt?

 

[Silence In Daylight]

The non-combat Exalts certainly do.

 

[Obsidian Silence]

too true. give the fae an artifact jade daiklave or some other weapon taken as a trophy or found. that will bypass the gossamer immunity, then your stunting extra or non-combat exalt still has to get around a huge die pool from mutation and noble attributes.  ie. str.-8, dex-8, melee-7, dodge-6 or so.  gives hime a to hit pool of around 20 depending on bonus of weapon, and a dodge of at least 14 with no essence added.
