Thanks for walking me through it.....

I sure didn't! Thanks! Although, still doesn't quite jive with people sending blood samples through the post in order to format to the suit....

Someone that is a bit more familiar with the base drone rules, could you take a look at the Long Ranged tag and compare it to the flavor text of how the long ranged drones are used? I think I might be missing something.

The Long Ranged tag makes it sound like you need to be within 10km to use it, but then the flavor text is talking about users basically using these drones as robo-tourism and using them from the other side of the planet. Wasn't sure if there was a disconnect there.

Got some time and focus to sit down and read a bit, stumbled upon this gem-
"a vitakinetic can combine her
three-dot Algesis power, Ruin, with the three-dot
Iatrosis power, Mending, to access and degrade her
own noetic template, then rebuild it around the cyberware
she wants to use."

That is immensely cool, and something I hadn't thought of.

One thing I really like from the new Aberrant is that you can take on Flux (think of it as Limit that gives you Derangements and or mutations) to restore their version of motes, and that if you totally run out, and don't want to take flux, you can take what amounts to health levels to keep digging.

It would take some finagling to port over to Exalted, to the point that Glory Overwhelming might just be easier at this point....

I liked the idea of being able to use them as light cover via the "take cover" action, personally, although I haven't had the opportunity to really play it out.

While it isn't suggested in the rules, I wouldn't say it is denied either.

I think if a thread has been dead for almost two months they're somewhat "chill". Also most of the conversations turned positive once additional details and context were provided.

Just to check, has anyone been using the feedback form? I've been kinda busy with real life, and just want to make sure it is getting a good errata pass.

Doombot charm is only iffy to me because you can't actually make a Doombot, unless it was N/A FAA. Other than that, the shorthand kind of charm doesn't irk me much.

The Revan charm is cool and good.

My favorite part of the Psiad rules is that they don't invalidate the Psion rules. With that much XP you could be one hell of a proxy level Psion! I personally don't mind the Prometheus tech coming from aliens, think of it as a gift, but the secret back door for their telepathy is the kicker.

Especially with the feats humanity has been able to achieve with biotech that push the boundaries of what other races can do (Leviathans), overcoming these hurdles (in game) would be a noble and achievable goal.

Inspirational books, or books within the Aberrant line specifically?

Can't go wrong with the new corebook as a starting place. Also depends on how you feel about dipping into the scans of the 1e books.

The ultimate expression of tanky armor IMO is All-Conquering Colossus. Yes, it's a warstrider, but that's about as tanky as it gets.

In more seriousness, taking some of those evocations as guidelines and toning them down might be a good start. I'm a little rusty, but I'd almost say they're balanced as regular armor evocations if you drop all of the warstrider benefits.

Having just reread the Psiad rules from 1e, I was delightfully surprised by how different the new rules are. While I was somewhat partial to the pairings of the Mental, Physical, and Energetic modes from 1e, the developments around QK are quite nice.

I also really like the balance struck between Psions and Psiads, while the flavor text was really making the case for Psiads (I mean, it was their section, it should be), the fact that only Psions can achieve dots 5 6 and 7 affirms their place in the setting. Also the psi-cooperation rules are still much better for Psions, at least at...
