One of the things that I've noticed about some artefacts, specifically Warstriders, is the sheer amount of Evocations gated behind certain Solar charms, which kind of force you into a certain build. On one end of the spectrum, there's Cathedral of Sublime Annihilation and Karvara, both of which have a single Evocation building off a thematically appropriate Solar charm and that Evocation doesn't seem to branch out into other Evocations. On the other end of the spectrum, you've All Conquering Colossus (5 of its 10 charms require you invest in Solar Brawl) and Ascendant Nova Phoenix (8 of its 12 charms require investment in charms spread over three abilities).
Getting the resources to get a Warstrider in the first place is though enough before realizing you didn't favour the abilities needed to master its Evocations, and as more Exalts come out in the future, they'll be locked out of those Evocations completely, though I appreciate that only Solars were out when Arms dropped. Going forward, will Warstriders be more like to former end instead of the latter?
While I'm here; how do Warstriders interact with the Anima Banner? The chapter fiction implies that it's constrained to inside the fuselage, does that mean that the Warstrider won't bear my caste mark on its forehead when I light up or be surrounded by my iconic when I go bonfire?
When a Warstrider is broken to the point of needing a Working to get it going again, does that count as the working needed to create it no longer being relevant and the XP being refunded? What about XP from previous repairs?

Forgive me if this was answered... But many were surprised and delighted (Myself included) at Dragonbloods getting five Favored Abilities.
I know they're a ways out, but what are the odds of Sidereals getting five Favored Abilities as well?
Disclaimer: I'll huff, grump, and defend my position, but if you're having fun I'll never say you're doing it wrong.

Do you think we might see an in-depth exploration of elemental theory in Creation in a future book at some point? Alternately, do any of you have a previous source for elemental theory that you particularly favor?
In addition, do you think we might see a fan-created content site such as Canis Minor set up for Exalted? The logistics seem a lot more iffy to me due to Onyx Path not holding the license... but if there were a game for it I imagine Exalted would be ideal for that sort of thing.

Do Lunars ever lose control of Dominions? Not have them destroyed by the Realm, but by circumstance that leaves a Dominion with no Lunar in charge?

In the new Charms being written for Heirs to the Shogunate, can we expect more Charms being written for the non-dominant elements of each Ability? Like, Air Dodge Charms? Or anything-but-fire Melee Charms?
As it stands, there are some Abilities, such as Thrown, which have a good mix of elements in accessible Charms, making it possible to create distinctly different elemental styles. And then there's Melee, which is Fire Fire Fire and a scant handful of other Charms, most of which aren't available at Essence 2. I know a lot of the Melee Charms are Balanced so it's still possible to use Aura effects on Charms of other elements without handicapping yourself, but it still means that it's basically mandatory that Melee means fire effects for everybody all the time. I think when I heard that Abilities were no longer hard-wired to specific elements I just assumed that Dragonblooded Cool Sword Guys could now come in flavours other than fire, and this appears to be ... not the case. Don't get me wrong, flaming swords are all sorts of awesome, but ...

On shapeshifting again, can a Lunar use their evocations whilst shapeshifted into an animal form (Even if only for brawl-based weapons)? If not will there be a charm for that? If both are no, is that the sole domain of Moonsilver weapons; or evocations whilst shapeshifted flat out not permissible?Last edited by ReshyShira; 05-16-2018, 08:27 AM.
