Also it would be traditional to send an independent 3rd party to negotiate like a priest or a merchant or a god of some kind....

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

I thought you were going to say a maniacally cackling sorceror on a surf board lol....

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Well you can do whatever you like with your character I’m just giving my 2c on the subject.

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Much more realistic stat allocation for the Mountain would be str 5 dex 3 stamina 4 , would it kill you to only have one physical attribute at 5?...

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

That’s not how physical fitness works in reality you don’t really think the mountain only has dex 2 like an average shmo out there just because he is large . It’s a stupid stereotype you can be both big and fast otherwise your bulk is probably just fat not muscle. The physical regimen you’d go through to achieve those super human stats would mean that your all round physical attributes are in no way average. I removed the stats because it’s true for any 2 out of 3.
P.S: also lunars have more attributes to spend it doesn’t stop other splats from making silly “ optimised “...

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Well let’s call things by their names shall we optimised is really just another term for min-maxed character. And a lot of those stat allocations while mechanically May be optimal might not really make any sense if you view that character from in world perspective. So your dB/solar character not only became one of the best swordsmen in the realm but he is also best at dodging occult and and various other sometimes totally conflicting disciplines but all in the space of finishing school / while on the run from wyld hunt after exalting as a simple peasant standing up for oppression. It’s like...

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

I have a level 5 fire terraforming manse in the north and I think all it does is keep local area lush and hot and stop the wyld from advancing further. Mostly took it for the hearthstone and narrative reasons but I think it could also be an excuse for party to pick up some artefacts if we ever visited and explored it. I’ve honestly never given any thought to it that level 5 manses are super powerful considering my character has little interest in magic technology or civilisation in general .

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

I have it as my control spell and I personally think it’s a badly written spell it , it should let you take people with you by default and control effect should reduce how tired you are after it or distance travelled maybe .

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

No it’s called making a character based on concept not build where you give him whatever stats and abilities that seems reasonable based on concept...

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

But what if I want two hand mouths do I have to buy the spell twice ? Om nom nom

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

No love for the hand mouth spell I see ?

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

That’s exactly what happened in Underfoots backstory , the Guild Expedition fleet gone up river and started major deforestation effort to set up local logging base to fund further exploration and major deforestation being his first encounter with people is the reason why he doesn’t like people and guild in particular . Safe to say he burned their ships and the Great white Apes 🦍 ate all the loggers . I doubt anyone made it out alive unless they somehow survived the perilous journey on foot....

Girl gets dissected in the govmt lab , the end.

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Not meant as a personal dig but a general question: Are optimal builds fun in the long run? Surely when combat is trivial it must get kinda boring no ? No sense of risk and danger when you got an optimised build ? I’m always wary these days of having an optimised character as it might make the fights that are trivial for you hard to balance for non optimised characters in the party unless you are all min maxed etc....

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

And let’s not forget the Legendary Consort Lunar caste they make unbeatable companions to suit all tastes vis a vi shapeshifting and appearance charms. Nobody else can match that.

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

I’m not sure a weapon tag ever came up in our games....

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Maybe it was Uranus on the sly who done it?...

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Quality stuff there I’ll speak to the ST about it although it sounds like the Dawn caste doesn’t like the idea so I might just clone him 500 times instead see how he likes that....

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

Hm thanks that’s very helpful, I want to animate a whole bunch of them at once and maybe have them act as a few battle groups it kinda sounds like what I’m looking for is solar 1 or 2. And I would want either our dawn command them when we are home or my 2nd circle equivalent when we are away. How difficult would it be to do for celestial level sorceror ? And is there any way of lowering the difficulty ? My main issue isn’t the roll difficulty but time involved....

[Beast of Bitter Oblivion]

What sort of difficulty working would it be to have the stone statues come alive to defend your castle from invaders say like 500 assorted archers warriors and monsters ? I’m not very clear on war rules so not sure how they would work. I could make a celestial working god/ 2nd circle equivalent who could lead them but other than that I’m kinda fishing. My twilight enjoys sculpting his circle in their castle so I was wondering if he could turn a hobby to something more productive.
I don’t suppose there is any way for th circles dawn to train statues is there ?
