That depends on how Primordials were fought. This might restart a bunch of arguments, but Moran, at least, suggested that they were fought and defeated through their souls. I do agree that at least tyrant lizard tier size shouldn't be a huge deal when Exalts are involved, though.

>>97249149
I feel like all the jouten aren't necessarily suited for combat
But they're probably what warstriders were reserved for, to more effectively drive them back when they appeared in the field
A Circle of Celestials could probably drive back a jouten, but if it's one of the massive, massive ones then it would take a long time, like pricking a whale to death with sewing needles instead of harpoons.

Building my first Exalted 3e character and I have a question
>The Martial Arts Ability cannot be chosen as Caste or Favored—instead, any character with Brawl as a chosen Caste or Favored Ability treats Martial Arts as Caste or Favored as well.
>Favored Abilities must have a rating of at least one dot
Does that mean I must put a dot in Brawl even if I don't want it and am only using it to get Martial Arts?

Yes

You can buy the entire Dragonbane box (including full rulebook, dice, standees and solo rules) for cheap. Why I recommend it to players starting out solo is
1. Because of what I said about and
2. Because when I too was new to solo gaming I thought it was very easy to get into it with this game. The solo dungeon crawling that is included is hand-holdy enough to get you going but also it gives you the reigns to start being creative and handle it "on your own". It's really neat on-boarding, in my opinion

picrel it's the starterset. It's 40 american dollarydoos on amazon

Thanks for the advice, at its core I think I just need more experience with the system to be a bit more fair to myself with the TNs. Like, TN 12 for a skill check inherently feels low to me but that's supposed to be a very difficult task, even for a pro. Like a fucking idiot I'm treating these TNs like they're d20 and it's actually 2d6, and I'm naturally inclined to go high because I still feel kind of like I'm "getting away" with something because it's solo. I'll probably get over it once I get a few more games in; thanks for the sanity check.

On a totally different note, how do you all handle extended social scenes? I've discovered I need to lean off the oracle a bit and that I probably don't need to consult it for every little thing, but I do still feel kind of trapped in a lot of talky scenes in my game so far. It's been a lot of "does this new NPC that the oracle introduced know anything about plot hook X? No, but... they want to talk about plot hook y" and I feel like it's burning me out a bit. Just interested in hearing some different perspectives on talkier scenes/games.

So, my Rogue has a backstory where her mother was a witch-healer. She became an orphan forcing herself to become a rogue to survive instead. However, I'd like to integrate the healing bits, most likely making her naturally good at using the thread and needle to suture wounds and a bit of incomplete herbalist knowledge. The idea is make a healer-killer duality. Should she know some bit of magic too? What's the best way to incorporate the healing part?

>>97249852
Healer is a pretty great feat on Thief Rogue specifically, since it enables you to use the feat as a bonus action for some quick first-aid.

>>97233287

Why would they be Jewish? Dwarves are strong warriors and laborers who created massive tunnels and holds and fine artisans.
Jews are a culture whose entire history is spend as vagabonds moving from host country to host country. Jews have never been known artisans of skilled tradesman or involved in labor. The only comparison you can make with dwarfs is the "gold" motiff, but this is a weak basis to compare them to Jews, because most cultures love gold. Celts, Aztecs, Vikings, Romans, etc. everyone loves gold. If anything Jews "gold" has never actually been hoarding actual treasure but aquiring wealth is less straightforward means, ie. usury banking, coin clipping, etc.

>>97238927
No, anon. However, if I'm having an in-character discussion, I'm obviously playing a roleplaying game, because roleplaying games aren't actually baseball, IC discussions are a part of them, and the only context where I'd ever have such a discussion is that of RPGs. It's fine to try to make your point through an anaolgue, but it'd help if you used something actually analogous with what we're talking about.

The art is nice but being a crypto project i ignored it half out of scorn and half of basic fiscal common sense.

My guess is there was never really a game to it because noone ever discussed rules or monsters or interactions, whenever they'd make advertizing threads here it was all just

I bought two starter decks and a bunch of booster packs for absurdly cheap (somewhere in the ballpark of 90% off) last year because a FLGS was trying to clear out their stock. If I can find someone stupid enough to play with me I'll give the game a fair try some day.

>>97249475
>Part of the problem with this request is that a T-Rex already canonically has 20 HD in AD&D

High-level characters can defeat a T. rex easily. There's definitely room for something bigger.


>>97249482
That's in a module, in which the location of the lair is already given. In that context, I think it just means that if you go to its lair it will be there 100%. (Not something I'd personally do, but I don't think it has any implication for the MM.)

>>97249475
In B/X, dragon turtles have 30 HD, and rocs and whales go up to 36 HD. AD&D rocs and dragon turtles are smaller for some reason, but MM whales can also reach 36 HD, and so does the brachyosaurus. In ACKS, krakens also get 36 HD. I think 36 HD is a good number for monsters that are big and stupid and suitable for domain level play.

>>97249517
>That's in a module, in which the location of the lair is already given. In that context, I think it just means that if you go to its lair it will be there 100%.
You're almost certainly right but it's an extremely poor way to phrase that idea mechanically.

>>97249681
This feels a bit like pearl clutching given Gary a. can presume the DM to be familiar with the rules and b. plays fast and loose with rules as a DM himself. At that point in his career he's probably also taken a different attitude towards producing materials.

I suspect it's going to be a term like 'non agentic' which doesn't mean much at the moment, but is about to get used a lot to talk about AI. Their definition will sort of look a little bit like the real-world use of the term, but be different enough that young people will find it annoying.

1) well, mandatory skills is one of the ways to go. But if someone wants to learn ow to hack, the STEM guys have it easier.
2) I guess the best options is to combine these, but I need a way to estimate if the lost stun points/DR will regenerate in matter of minutes or days.

>>97246815
>1) how to account for certain factions being better at certain subjects?
Attributes, Talents, defaults, and the numerous advantages and disadvantages which affect skills? Optimised characters naturally tend to be better at certain clusters of skills.
Realistic training rules help too. It's easier to learn what your friends know, because there is someone to learn from.

>[Go doesn't] have 4-10 move checkmate tricks
there are plenty of tactics in saving weak groups, life-and-death, connection battles, and ko fights, but they they may only give you a local result rather than a game ending advantage. There is such depth of strategy, makes me wish I learned to play it much earlier in my life.

>>97249495
I would take the pawn too. But only because I wouldn't see Bxh6 gxh6 Bxc6 Bxc6 and Qg6+ with perpetual check. He just sacs everything for a draw, because it's Magnus.
