It's also, as you mentioned, each MA is about an evocations worth of stuff (10 charms more or less). So its buying access to a new avenue of evocations and combat powers you can spend Solar Xp on (Note that for mortals, this is comparable to sorcerery, and XP wise I think buying the MA merit and buying a charm are close to the same cost?). Nothing _really_ breaks if you waive it though....

This is saying quite a bit, and strange purple letters are emanating from it....

I think this strongly depends on what the Yozis consider failures. I also have reasons to believe we will not be hearing of these attempts anytime soon....

[Epee102]

Surely not Blood Apes. But what about 3rd circles? And the children of the Yozi, like Adjorans winds? I think those could provide inspiration as well, in addition to the Yozi themselves....

I will go again. I like ancient and lost martial arts, strange spirits who can empower or interact with mortals, and even prehumans. Gods and demons more than elementals or Fae or ghosts.

What larceny charm? The one that lets you bank successes? I thought there were some really hard limits on that....

[Epee102]

Does it have to be literally Cthulhu? We have a type of extinct exalt that fit the bill of giant sea monster with probably mind warping powers....

[Epee102]

Create a creature/demon you can fuse with to gain a bunch of benefits/merits seems like a sorcerous working to me (and hte lore at the bottom indicates in verse it normally was as well)....

[Epee102]

If you really wanted, I'd just...make that a weird demon yeah....

[Epee102]

I mean, you got an agatae right there. Bind it for a year, then use it as a courier....

[Epee102]

...I've always had Ysyr as Assyrian (from the sound alone) or Celtic (Irish Island of Ys), but I like this even more. Hm. Time to look up some fashions....

Are Liminals and Getmetians Creatures of Darkness?

[Epee102]

2 and 4 can be moved, allowing the blessing to be transferred
3 and 4 still require work to make a farm and cultivate the land....

A win con for a character sure. Reform the Realm. Establish a new kingdom. Build a lineage. Save people. A win con for a splat in exalted, as in “Infernals win when Heaven is in shambles” or “Lunars win when the Realm is gone” is silly becuse it ties the entire splat to a goal and limits storytelling (factions having goals is fun, but different).

My broader point is, this head canon returns to “the goal of DBs is to return to a state where they make more DBs constantly, which is again weirdly focusing on the sexuality of the characters and also adds more creepy eugenics...

[Epee102]

The golden age of the Dragonblooded was the Shogunate (if not the First Age like everything else). Adding another level of carrot to eugenics and making the goal of a splat to return to some pure blooded state is again focusing stories on Dragonblooded as Breeding Machines. If you want drama of “I want to ensure my kids are also exalted” go liberate the Caul.

The reason it isn’t 100% is because it’s lineage and lineage is fickle. If I sound a tad annoyed, it’s cuz wanting a win con for a splat(a silly idea to start with, but whatever) that amounts to “back to the old days,...
