I think that one of its strengths is also a weakness. It is well self-contained.

You get an introduction to the Exalted, and some of the occult nature/potentiality in the setting, but you don't actually get introduced to Creation.

I wouldn't be mad about a followup module introducing evocations for the artifacts set in an adventure in the locale it dumps you out in.

Astronomy is the study of heavenly bodies, astrology says your day sucks because Uranus is in Powerade....

I was more interested in any crib-notes charm text or the actual filled out stats.

You got to keep the character sheet? Nice. Would it be uncouth to ask you to take a picture of it and post it?...

Right, Origin, that's what I meant. And thanks! I see that sidebar now! P116.

Although I know that Scion and Trinity have some different rules usage/assumptions, reading there it seems that Roll Away does indeed pre-empt attack the way it is referenced in some of the Psion powers.

Care to share any more? What were some of the instances of fun mechanics that jumped out at you?

[MoroseMorgan]

Reading it I didn't immediately jump to Kirby, but I should have, and now I am seeing them with AMAZING space hats.

Stories like this really straddle the line between N/A artifact and some form of Exaltation. In this instance though, I'd lean more towards artifact simply because the powers are very physical, There are a few times were the amulet interacts with other assorted magical objects, but really it just gives Jim artifact armor and a daiklave (and later a thunderbolt shield and skycutters). Other than having an associated calling, it doesn't really make him super human.

Conversely, I just started the new She-Ra today, and it seems much more like a Solar Exaltation channeled through a sw...

I saw the sidebar in Hero page 144, but it doesn't reference rounding up or down for attributes, just pools, and I can't seem to find the sidebar for rounding for attributes and abilities....

Give the orks names; problem solved.

My mob of nobs is called Killork Rend, and the Nobz of Rend. They kill marines all the time....

[MoroseMorgan]

Well my curiosity is piqued, did they just not like the idea of so many marines dying?...
