Dice Sorrow’s Reach - Exalted 3e (OOC)

[Sherwood]

That should be fine for me.

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Fine by me

 

[Psychie]

Ok with me. Just so long as we don't get bogged down with too many players.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Okay. Totally agree. I think this will be our last slot filled.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Hey, thanks, guys, for playing. Means a lot. Just wanted to say.

 

[Sherwood]

Who is able to see the crowd coming towards the Temple? Is it just Mountain and Scorpion, or do all of us see them?

 

[WlfSamurai]

You all see them.

 

[Sherwood]

Just to let everyone know, the Kickstarter for the 3e Lunars book went live today.

Lunars: Fangs at the Gate for Exalted 3rd Ed.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yessir. I have the first chapter. Looks really good.

Like this:

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Wish I could afford to back the Lunars book.

 

[Sherwood]

While I would like to donate enough to get the hard copy book, I'm hoping to get the cash together for the PDF. Lunars are my favorite type of Exalted, and I really want that book.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yeah. They’re right up there with Solars for me. Those are my two favorite. I will be buying it for sure when it’s released.

 

[Crocodile]

I'm planning to with my incoming tax return. They're a favorite as well besides Solars.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Psychie , did you want to keep pursuing the beggar? Or should I move forward?

 

[Psychie]

Naah. Go ahead and move on.

 

[MasterDAF]

Lunars are my favorite as well! Don't know if I'm getting Hardback or not, but definitely PDF at minimum.

 

[WlfSamurai]

MasterDAF , I’d like to get you into the scene. Do you think you’d be tracking the dead from where they came from to this village? Just one option I thought of.

 

[MasterDAF]

WlfSamurai Sure, that sounds good to me! Deimos could have gotten word that Bloody Reeds was spotted about a day's ride outside the village. Not knowing if the intelligence was accurate or not, he decides to take a small contingent of around 30 men (Size 2) and follow up the lead to find out.

 

[Sherwood]

Just to confirm something before I goof up in the IC thread. When casting spells, it takes the Int + Occult roll to get enough Sorcerous Motes to cast the spell. Can I boost that with my Occult Excellency to be able to fire off a spell even faster than just straight Attribute + Ability?

 

[Red Shadow Claws]

Am away this weekend and won't be able to post

 

[WlfSamurai]

Sherwood , I need to check. That’s a really good question. I’ll get back to you.

Red Shadow Claws , okay! Thanks for the heads up.

 

[WlfSamurai]

MasterDAF , you can roll join battle as well. We’ll put you and your men off the flank of the village watching.

 

[MasterDAF]

WlfSamurai Okeydoke, I'll do that! Though a question occurred to me, do I do a join battle roll for Deimos and a separate one for the battle group based on average soldier stats, or just one based on his stats?

Also, in reference to the question asked by Sherwood I would think he could channel the Excellency to speed the accumulation of motes, as it plays into the idea of Solars being preeminent sorcerers. Solar Excellency caps ensure no other exalts could speed a spell as quickly, and would make the sorcery more efficient in the moment. That being said, I haven't read about anyone doing it so I can't vouch for it's practical application, but it makes sense to me.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Yeah, I"m pretty sure that's right, as well. Just want to look to be sure.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Sherwood , yes. You definitely can use Charms, specifically an Excellency, to supplement or speed up the shape roll/action.
