How to make a Wyld hunt Incompetent but not too incompetent

[nalak42]

Anything but Tepet Lisara.

Who is that?

[Zelbinnean]

Who is that?

Just a hugely incompetent DB who thinks she's much hotter shit than she actually is.

Just a hugely incompetent DB who thinks she's much hotter shit than she actually is.

And who got promoted through sex.

Hmmmn. if I was a devious Solar, I'd help her from a safe distance, to make sure the Wyld hunt doesnt get competent people assigned to it.

But Why "anything but her" ?

she seem too stupid to you?

[Oriares]

I dunno how to feel about tailor-built chumps aside from it would just seem too convenient.

If the whole Hunt is like that, it'll probably be too much, but one or two members might work.

I like to believe this is a little tongue-in-cheek regarding criticisms about the IRL military/glass ceilings.

It certainly would be fun to play a Solar or Lunar living in an area that Liara is in, and covertly support her because it makes the whole Hunt in that area less effective.

Hogan's Heroes in Exalted apparently.

I feel compelled once again to bring up the Kickstarter update we got a while back that talked about the nature of the Wyld Hunt in 3e--in particular, the fact that it's not exclusive to the Realm and can indeed consist of, at the low end, a couple of outcastes and a batch of hired mortal legbreakers who want to lynch that goddamn Anathema cutting into their bottom line; it's plausible for such a gang to not have necessarily made wise backup plans in case they kick on this one Solar and he turns out to have a whole Circle backing him up. Or he's actually a Dawn Caste with an artifact blade he hadn't been using openly up 'til now.

I poked my head in to this thread fully expecting a huge, bitchy argument over the strengths/weakness of Dragon-Blooded and their overall value, or other some such nonsense.

I am pleasantly surprised, please continue.

I dunno using an incompetent commander like Lisara could be a good way of making them seem like a very deadly threat if only the leader hadn't made so many blunders.

You could also have a hunt with a very fearsome reputation but mostly full of sycophantic toadies, for a twist make the group as a whole actually pretty strong but because they're all a bunch of cowards they flee fairly easily. Then having been dishonored and made a laughingstock they come back to reclaim their reputation and are deadly serious.

Another thought is to have a group of mostly green or less than devote dynasts being led by a Peleps Deled type fanatic. Leader goes down swinging and the rest most of whom weren't too keen on becoming the Anathema's next trophy make a big deal out of reclaiming the body and swearing vengeance but are mostly just interested in getting the hell out of there.

I INTENSELY DISLIKE(in most restrained terms)Lookshyan Wyld hunts, as a concept.

Am one of the people, know I'm in the minority, who LIKED the solar friendly Lookshy from 2nd edition, we got conflicting data in 1st edition.

But Why "anything but her" ?

Oh lots of reasons, but most importantly Tepet Lisara really brings out the creepy in people- the number of times I've seen some variation of "lets make the Appearance 5 misandrist our sex slave" makes me genuinely uncomfortable.

Ok... won't upset you too much if that makes me WANT to use her?😉

Curious, any charms that can help in "rehabilitation" of captured wyld huntsmen?
I wondered a bit ago, if Arriana puts Peleps Deled under 3 fold binding of the heart, how is he still "Peleps Deled" in any meaningful way

[The Wizard of Oz]

If Pelleps Delled fell in love with a Solar... I think he'd kill himself.
(Okay, actually I think he'd use the DB charm that breaks servitude effects on yourself but is really expensive. Worth it to do that. Then he'd stab Arianna in the heart.)

Puh, I'm shipping Volfer with Peleps Deled and ain't no suicide gonna stop the incoming smut.
