>>96737261What art do you use as visual references for Infernals/what canon Infernals art do you like? If you're curious, I found this one a few years ago, she was a character created by Alectai on SP (who commissioned an artist for the image), she's a Fae-Blooded Fiend.
>dawn caste power is super intimidation>presence is not one of their caste skillsclown caste
>>96737347>presence is not one of their caste skillsMore Performance than Presence, because Performance is where War stuff used to be with the idea that rallying your men would be more performance-ish, but you're right that caste abilities in general and Dawns in particular is clownish.
I noticed there's a glaring empty spot in my 3e homebrew collection. Anyone know of Infernal conversions or homebrews for 3e?
>>96737821Infernals:The Devils are Here, on onyx path forums.
>>96737578>More Performance than Presence, because Performance is where War stuff used to be with the idea that rallying your men would be more performance-ishOnly in the charms, Presence was described as the proto war skill.
Are there any good Exalted podcasts?I only know about Systematic Understanding of Everything, the official one, and Wondrous Atlas of Creation, an attempt at "lore"cast except it's just so fucking biased.>the realm is bad>the realm is evil>burn the realm>kill the realm>kill the imperials>politics bad
>>96738147>Are there any good podcasts?No.
>>96737937I wouldn't advise trying to make sense of 1e, especially not in the Presence and Performance divide, and particularly not as it relates to leadership in combat. The only thing more hazardous to your mental well-being is trying to make sense of 1e Lunar Charms.>>96738147Well, if you're not the Realm, it is, in fact, objectively bad, in that it is going to try to knock over your home, suck out every last vestige of wealth, and send lots of your friends and family back in chains. And it's going to keep doing this until something manages to drive it off and can resist the Legions that come in to break skulls and crush rebellions that get sent in afterward.
>>96738335I am aware of, there's a lot of weirdnesses surrounding it.Not just because it was the first, but also because of a feeling that it was rushed.>1e Lunars.Once I got to them, I closed the pdf in disbelief.
>>96737261>What's your vision of an Infernal? Not the kind that's coming or that was written in an old edition; what is the Infernal your heart desires?2e Infernals were pretty good, and felt like they made sense within the setting. That's about what I'd like.
>>96737261What Infernals have you created in the past? And who is your favorite canon Infernal and why? I like the nun Infernal, cool design. I hope they have rules for porting 2e Infernals into 3e if nothing else.
Have your games ever had a Celestial Exalt join a Sworn Brotherhood with Dragon-Blooded (so not counting those Lunars-only Sworn Brotherhoods)?
How widespread are cybernetics in Autochtonia?
>>96737261Say a Fae-Blooded Exalts, besides maybe Lunars, what Exalt types, or types of gods for Exigents, make the most sense for them? Tying into this, what are your opinions on the Dream-Souled?
>>96737261>What's your vision of an Infernal? Not the kind that's coming or that was written in an old edition; what is the Infernal your heart desires?A demon sultan empowered by mad titans as part of their plan to take down the upstairs who mangled and imprisoned them and free themselves, wielding bizarre powers derived from the Yozi, and who are naturally pointed towards evil goals and means but who are capable of rebelling against their masters to follow their own goals and use the trappings of villany towards good goals.Basically 2e internals without the stupid edge.
>>96738147>Wah, how dare they criticize the power-hungry empire who takes over countries, steals their resources and suppresses their cultures
>>96740181It is the Realm, a good chunk of the fanboys and writers only thing about in "yass queen, slay" terms.With varying degrees of "wait, we are committing oppression?!" Mixed with the above.
>>96740447[citation needed]
>>96739277Very. It's cheaper to lop off an arm you mangled in an industrial accident and replace it with a cyberarm before sending you right back to work than to give it normal medical treatment and let you waste valuable time resting instead of working.
If I have an Artifact 5 robe that behaves as a Silken Armor with the additional ability to change its appearance into any garment of my choice, is that too weak to justify the extra dot cost?
>>96737261>the Game Finder General here on /tg/Should be removed
>>96740447I don't think that's true when it comes to either fans or writers. The actual published material is clear on the Realm, in fact, committing plenty of oppression, and the general atmosphere in most places where I've seen 3E fans gather online - I don't really use the official Exalted Discord, mind you - has been such that suggesting any positive side whatsoever to an empire such as the Realm would get you dogpiled.
Sex with female Abyssals.
>>96740181>Wah, how dare they criticize the power-hungry empire who takes over countries, steals their resources and suppresses their culturesIn fairness to the Realm, that also describes every player-controlled empire I've seen created, and the Bull of the North's thing as well except they're even more power hungry and expansionist. Everybody is doing it isn't a good defense, but it does exist. It's that kind of period of the world, except the Realm's mostly happy with it's empire so they're more laissez-faire about colonies dropping on and off the face of the earth compared to rising empires for whom their expansions are a dangerous frontier.
>>96739277bonding with machines is basically the autochtonian religion.they have thaumaturgy to replace lost limbs and organs with mechanical equivalent. they dont require essence commitment and the higher end of quality actually work BETTER than the normal flesh.the richer people of autochtonia FOR SURE have extensive work done on them and even common workers will have base replacement ready in case of industrial accidents (which are unfortunately quite common).if i wanted to be pedantic, i could say that alchemical exalted themselves are just a bunch of cybernetics piloted by a human soul.
>>96741481what you describe is AT BEST artifact 3 if "garment" is only normal clothing fashion and not armor.
>>96741974if the female infernal like you enough you may get free wishes!
>>96742189Silken Armor is a Light Artifact Armor rated at 4 dots because it can be used with Martial Arts that normally forbid the use of armor. I used that as the base inspiration for this Artifact, and added an extra dot on top to represent its ability to change shape and color to mimic any sort of clothing. My question is if it's too little and whether I should soup its shape-changing ability up to justify the extra dot.
>>96742207>Silken Armor is a Light Artifact Armor rated at 4 dots because it can be used with Martial Arts that normally forbid the use of armorthis shit has always been comically overpriced
>>96742267What's a better Artifact rating for what I'm after?
>>96739277>How widespread are cybernetics in Autochtonia?>"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me."t. average Sodalite
>>96742323martial arts are complete garbage and access to them shouldn't influence the dot rating at all, so 3 dots for the magic outfit changeobviously if your ST is a sped he'll disagree but then you should be figuring this shit out by talking with him instead of us
>>96742323Anon is just gretching. Artifact 4 is completely fine for 3e, where artifacts are expected to have a unique bonus on top. The base 'a garment that can change to other garments' is Artifact 2, an in prior editions would be called Everyman Armor. In 1e where Silk Armor is 4-dot I'd probably add two motes commited and a mote's activation cost for the extra ability rather than bump it up a dot, as it doesn't dramatically change the functionality of the artifact, or also add one of the material functions of the Infinite Resplendence Amulet and slap that on top to make it Artifact 5.Note that the Infinite Resplendence Amulet is also a martial-arts compatible armor and available starting at 3-dot rating in 2e (Lords of Creation), and has the shapeshifting armor thing by default. Taking two of it's magical material bonuses (the +5/+5 moonsilver and your resonant material if you mostly want it for armor) means that, other than that it is magitech/needs maintenance, it completely overshadows silk armor.
>>96742381>>96742323I actually completely misremembered the dot ratings of most of those artifacts for 1e/2e. Silk Armor is 2-dot in 1e/2e. Everyman Armor is 3-dot, but does count as armor.Anyway yes just make shapeshifting the immediate ability on a 4-dot silk armor and you'll be fine. Slap a three mote cost on the shift and you're good.
>>96737261What do you think of what we’ve seen of Infernals in 3e so far? How does it compare to 2e Infernals?
>>96743969Sex with Manosque Cyan.
>>96742405NTA but I have a better idea: Give it similar functionality to the Ultimately Useful Tube. >1 mote to shrink into a simple wristband or choker to conceal it when not in use>going climbing? 1 mote to morph the hands into claws and grow cleats from the soles>going swimming? 1 mote to morph into scuba suit with flippers for feet, an additional mote to generate a cloth snorkel>going stealthing? 1 mote to morph into a sexy skintight ninja suit (can reflexively conceal the face at no cost)>going to a party? 1 mote to morph into whatever clothes the wearer wantsThe list goes on, but the gist of it is it gives +2 to rolls relevant to its current form. That'd justify the extra dot on top of being compatible with all Martial Arts.
>>96743969>What do you think of what we’ve seen of Infernals in 3e so far?I'm decidedly unimpressed but that's par for the course at this point. >How does it compare to 2e Infernals?Poorly.
>>96744076>The list goes on, but the gist of it is it gives +2 to rolls relevant to its current form.Slightly better is that artifacts are automatically Exceptional Equipment for relevant rolls. You could explicitly point out that it would count for whatever shape it's helping with.That said, these sound like something evocations would be good for, rather than as a default power of the artifact.
>Mana-Yood Sushai.>Ma-ha SuchiI wonder if it was a random reference
>>96744997I doubt Ma-Ha-Suchi is a Pegana reference.
>>96745298It is hard to say for certain, the term "Yozis" is from it.
>>96737261>TQWell - I want Infernals to be trans-humanist. You were this human thing, now you are this super awesome demon thing. You're still human, but human-plus. Personalized crazy forms that aren't just once per story would be great, like a true form you can just be in. Be a crystal, be burning radioactive fire, or a living dream. Not shapeshifting exactly but doubling down on "This is your idealized/true form and it's fucking metal."I want Infernals that can adventure in Malfeas as an option. Just going "Fuck Creation" and having adventuring in hell seems cool. I don't think the Yozi should care unless they're being flat out destructive, making a hell kingdom that ultimately make it easier to ruin creation should be a bonus. This should just be an option instead of baseline though.I'd like less sexual violence then the 2e books but for sure want blood and gore. More explosive and overly dramatic then sad and gross. Kimbery dissolves people, Oramus makes people heads explodes literally, Malfeas burns people to screaming radioactive dust, ectect. I want charms for all the Yozi, the more the better really. I also want really weird permanent charms.They should be very loud and bombastic - basically being rewarded for being drama queens. Not sure the best way to do that but Infernals should always be extra. I'd also like stuff we never really got in 2e, like war charms and crafting charms. Spandex would be great as well, just all the weird outfits, but I don't think that's going to happen. Infernals should always stand out and be rewarded for doing so, unless they're stealth I guess.I want a new Yozi too, just because a new one would really catch me off guard. Pic related that you posted because some kind of electric guitar would be really neat, or at least some kind of musical weapons. I also want it flat out stated that yes, the Yozi are trapped in hell. You can't get them out. Each one has its own "thing" that would make them happier.
>>96744296I'm not really sure about all the current stuff. Where can I read about what all they have planned?
>>96744854>That said, these sound like something evocations would be good for, rather than as a default power of the artifact.Easy peasy:>This evocation awakens at no cost the first time the wielder attunes to the Artifact.See? Easy. :^)
>>96745625>I also want it flat out stated that yes, the Yozi are trapped in hell. You can't get them out. Each one has its own "thing" that would make them happier.I go with headcanon that keeos this vauge. Or that thry can't get out on thier own. It's impossible. But Exalted are meant to achive the impossible. So maybe in a several centuries oportunity opems and they could try to escape? But thats isn't only plan they have.That each Yozi has something that makes them personally happy is actually pretty cool idea.Yozi use Infernals as form of escapism if not literal one from thier prison then at least brief blissfull moments wehen they forget how miserable they feel. It adds layer of complexity.
>>96746066>Yozi use Infernals as form of escapism if not literal one from thier prison then at least brief blissfull moments wehen they forget how miserable they feel. It adds layer of complexity.Something something parents living vicariously through their children's achievements.
>>96746066there's three things keeping them from Creation>Oaths>Malfeas>CecelyneJust break the oaths and kill Malfeas and Cecelyne and they can get back to Creation.
>>96742207....o! not 2nd edition. my bad.
>>967461033e is the "nagging parents" edition after all.
>>96746261>break the oathseasy>kill malfeasthat's fine as long as they're not inside>kill cecelynethey can't get to creation without her though
>>96746261Yeah they made oaths and are stuck in Malfeas, but how is Cecelyne keeping them from Creation=
>>96742195What do I get if the female Abyssal likes me though?
>>96746641>Cecelyne is the affliction of the Yozis. Her endlessness has become their boundary. The gods twisted her living essence to bind the Yozis away from Creation. Thus, if the Demon Princes should crack open Malfeas and crawl into the world beyond, they would find only Cecelyne — and know only Cecelyne — and this would not bring them closer to Creation.>The Yozis have given Cecelyne care over the demons of the city, that their servants should not seek to overthrow the Primordial lords. In her name, her servants order and regiment the demons. Her power also keeps the lesser demons from Creation, that they may not slip from Malfeas while no one watches. The Yozis cannot leave, and their petulance rarely permits their lessers freedom.>>96746703Your lower soul eaten when her poon literally eats your dick off when you both climax.
>>96746703you get to be part of the coil 18 necrotech masterpiece! lucky you!
>>96746724I thought vagina dentata was a more Infernals thing.
>>96746972There's a overlap, Lunars and Alchemicals also have vaginal vore under their design pies.
>>96747093Mmmmmm, pie...
>>96737261has anyone converted beloved adorei to essence?
>For some numinous reason, male Lunars gain a [10×(N + 2)] boost of competence when paired with fair haired Solars.>despited being studied since the dawn of the first age by sages, scholars, nature philosophers, etc... nobody can give an answer for the cause of this numinous phenomenon.
>>96746972Either way, it's a wonderful phrase!
Tell me about the Realm's Legion of Silence.
