Maybe replace them with the smiths in Compass Malfeas?

Ironically, in my current game, I also moved Yirji to the South East.

Wasp Sting Cripples doesn't appear to be a charm listed. If you mean "Needle's Sting Bends Limbs", each use of the charm allows for a -1 penalty, for Turns dependent on dice. The penalties for Snap Roaches Limbs Into Place are all fixed at -3 as well. I believe you might be remembering an older version of the rules that allowed for a -(Medicine) penalty.

For defense with Resistance, it's important to note that Needle's Sting Bends Limbs is based on the amount of damage die after soak. I'll make a note when we do our next round of revisions to specify "post soak damage...

The penalty is from any source--poisons, tossing sand in their eyes, that sort of thing. It doesn't need to be from charms, let alone from Emerald Wasp style.


Because the motion is compelled by the stylist, the victim doesn't need to roll disengage from the stylist or her allies. If their allies want to prevent the motion, use the victims disengage stats (but no charms).
Any ally can lower their resolve to 0, although that's an unintended use. Letting your wasp friend implant needles into you to move you into a blitz is. Risky.

I don’t think anything would break in that case. I excluded the stackable word more to reflect a lack of doubling up(you can’t stack stung legs twice)...

Hey there fellow Exalts! I hope you are ready for more demons(I know I am)! The third volume of Book of Laughing Serpents is now available. In volume three you will find the following creatures of Malfeas:

Demons of the First Circle
The Cerebral Hunters (Dahaki), for when you need to hunt your enemies in the shadows and command lower souls.
The Twin Headed Arbiters (Janudrac) for when you need to find breakers of the law, thieves, and crooks.
Demons of the Second Circle
Leketengera, The Blood Queen
These are homebrew creations that come fully...

Updated! Notes:

Overall, EWS gets much much more out of being in Form then most Martial Arts still.

Added a special activation condition to the form.
Reworded Sting the Mind and Wasp Among Ants
Snap Roaches Limbs Into Place no longer requires 1 needle.

In general, using EWS to its maximum effect requires either form usage or getting Wasp Among Ants in early....

Thanks for the comments! I'll be reworking some of the post form charms to allow for non-form use (Snap Roaches Limbs into Place will probably lose the minimum of 1 needle, for instance, and Larva Burrows Deep will have another effect). Wasp Among Ants needs a revision--at the moment it suggests the stylist rolling against themselves, which is an oversight I'll correct. It should be for the victim to recognize what is happening, and needs some clarity there. Sting the Mind could use some clarity as well.

The Form charm will get a reflexive activation condition, but otherwise will...

Thanks for the feedback!
I’ll write up a more detailed response when I can (data issues) but : for mind, one social influence per needle is correct.
For the terrestrial keyword, honestly terrestrial limits are difficult for me to think of compared to mastery buffs, especially with a bit of a bizarre style. The next style we present I believe has a few terrestrial effects as it’s more bizzare. For Wasp Among Ants, Ill clarify in the next update—for decisive vs withering the rules are the same if I recall correctly. As for typos and the like, we’ll give it another pass and have...

This feels better for this thread instead of the ask devs thread...

Amazing work Rand.

The 'solution' if your a Melee dawn seeing this coming is the perfect block (Heavenly Guardian right? I'm AFB) and rush now that I think about it with my full facilities....

I hadn't noticed the defensive issue.
b is iffy, if only because I feel like that many auto successes is pushing the math regardless of where it is in the game
A and C are fair--I misread at first, and thought it was dice not dice added....

[Epee102]

As written, if you fail on the Read Intentions Roll it's down graded to a suprise attack, which is much much better than an ambush. An ambush reduces the defense to 0, a suprise reduces it by 2--this is getting errat'd apparently....

[Epee102]

Ah thanks. I'm not on the discord--it got too busy for me to track everything....

[Epee102]

Also I recall Vance posting a link to an errata google drive--does anyone have that handy?
