Ok then.


3e:


So... how does this help us?

I recommend you read what I wrote in the OP, instead of looking at the title. It helps a lot. And prevents you from making a fool out of yourself....

[Accelerator]

Ok. Several problems:

1. What can sorcery do? What is out of theme for sorcery?
2. What is sorcery's (terrestrial) scale? What is the biggest effect, to the smallest?...

[Accelerator]

Thus. Demons....

[Accelerator]

What about shadow assassin, theft of memory, and droning suggestion?...

[Accelerator]

Ok. Um, I'm trying to work out some guidelines and rules for homebrewing sorcery.

Um.... what are they? When someone does some thing, whats the difference between charms, martial arts, and sorcery?

1. Its not suited for direct face to face combat.

2. Has widescale effects.

[Accelerator]

Source? I know they eat marrow.......

[Accelerator]

.... ok?

Is it ok to say that my headcanon Is that demons have better night vision then humans, leading to sorcerers favouring night attacks and dark, unlit towers?...

[Accelerator]

No. This is exalted.

Even the diseases are over the top...

[Accelerator]

Either edition. Duration is one month. Or a week....

[Accelerator]

I'm thinking of a self-buffing spell for sorcery. Question. How much should it add? It adds dots to attributes and abilities. Impermanent. Does not count towards getting better charms. But helpful for any mortal. Meant to act as a call-out to the mythology of 'burning out impurities to make yourself stronger' and 'increase your own power through trials'....

[Accelerator]

Collapsible cauldron, that you can throw whatever you want inside, and it'll become tasty soup. As long as its among people you have a positive intimacy with.

Think of the 'stone soup' story....

Puska, the Thrice-headed centipedes
Progeny of the Living Tower
Demon of the First Circle

The Puska is a beautiful creature. Made out of a silvery, multicoloured, segmented crystal, with jewels studding its length and with three heads. Each head of a Puska contains a single eye, a glowing ruby with an inner fire. The main body itself is scaled, with the ability to climb on or twine on nearly any sort of surface. Many use the Puska as jewellery, as its appearance is beautiful and pleasing to the eye . But that is never its true, main use. Octavian is no social dilettante....

[Accelerator]

Urgh. Ok. After a long sabbatical...

Summoning the Riches of the Earth

The sorcerer makes a symbol that is a combination of the Mudra of the Earth and Wealth, and beckons them to come towards him. Within *, all mineral wealth comes within the radius is pulled towards him and attracted. Gold, silver, iron ore, crystal, any kind, popping out of the earth itself. This can only pull out wealth native to the earth. A bar of gold hidden right under his feet will not be summoned, neither would a stash of silver coins. Additionally, this can never summon the magical materials....

Orvos, the needle doctors

The Orvos is a demon, resembling that of a bald old man, with both eyes blinded, and a hobble. This is an illusion, though. In a pinch, a Orvos can move as fast as a horse, and his sensitive nose and ears work as well for him as sight. His eyes do not detect light. Instead, they detect the flow of essence and life within the veins of living creatures, allowing him to assess their state. Their health, their level of energy, poison, disease, all can be diagnosed nearly instantly, in a single glance. More difficult disease require him to smell them, or to ask...

Hey dude. Got an idea. Shadows. A mixture of a Wight, Umbra, and Pride (FMA). Basically a servitor that is between a first and second circle in power. Can either help in sneaking.... or a goddamned nightmare for anybody trying to fight a sorcerer. Can shape itself into guns, knives, swords, maces, and any weapon. Including teeth. Capable of ripping men in half, and impaling them. Grants several other helpful charms, like ones that let you walk through shadows or hide in darkness.

Eldagusto. Any good ideas for demons that do thaumaturgy? I'm fairly sure there's a space for it....

[Accelerator]

Hmm... dragon kings specialize in plants. Let the plague in a bottle be a bunch of spores/ seeds that can at first, drift through the air. When it lands on a living body, it starts growing roots through it, extracting nutrients and pumping out toxins all the while. Then the person dies. The biomass left by the corpse is completely used up by the plant, which then flowers. Growing up to one meter a day, it reaches up into the heavens, stretching tall over the buildings. And then at the end, it creates a fruit containing seeds, which are then blown away by the wind, to land on more living creatures...

[Accelerator]

Well, pardon me for not caring about your suspension of disbelief. Its a cloud of nanites conjured by sorcery. It can do whatever it wants, as long as it isn't unbalanced over overpowered?

Another thing.

Don't. Act. Like. A. Prick....

[Accelerator]

Fine. Non airtight armour. Just stunt it was the nanites crawling through the gaps in the plating.

[Accelerator]

Duh. It's a cloud of nanites.

Ah hell. Just make it interesting or something....

[Accelerator]

Damage.... how about stat it like an acid bath or bonfire, that ignores armour?
