I like this. It’s also gotten me to think that, right now, there’s probably a lot of people in the Realm that are insisting on hard Jade, instead of scrip or letters of account. Which means that anyone who can locate an illicit supply of Jade could likely write their own ticket (assuming they didn’t get murdered for it).

I admit, the idea of Trinity: PScion amuses me, just for the pun....

[BrilliantRain]

Yeah, sorry I wasn’t quicker about it. I’ve been planning on writing up scenario 1 more fully, so I was going to do that...but that project kept getting bigger.... By the time it occurred to me that a set of seeds might be more interesting and useful than a mini-adventure, it was after the holidays and I’d gotten a cold.

I’m glad you enjoyed them.

...and yeah, scenario 2 was inspired by Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Main difference is that, in my scenario, they’re getting married deliberately to spy on each other and they might not be inherently hostile to each other...

Iirc, most dynastic children are raised by nannies and tutors and schools, not by aunts and uncles. You might call in an Aunt or Uncle if they have some special skills that you want the kid to learn, but I don’t think they’d necessarily have much more contact than the kid’s parents.

or am I remembering wrong?

[BrilliantRain]

Iirc, since the charm explicitly lets you use chunks of spirits you’ve eaten and captured and everything to help build your new spirit, cribbing directly from the entities you’ve defeated and consumed sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Sorry about being so late about it. Life has been stealing my attention lately.

However, here is a set of scenario ideas for Chausse, featuring relationships that are a bit complicated: http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/m...nt-for-chausse

[BrilliantRain]

For Chausse, Here are a few seeds for bound together characters. Some are more generic, some are more specific. Hopefully at least one will pique your interest or give you some ideas to consider.
Scenario 1
Sesus Faria, the new Dragon Blooded Satrap, has arrived to take control of the unruly satrapy of Mulberry. Her secretary, Violet River Blossom, is a mortal friend she’s known since Primary school. Blossom is a native of the satrapy… and recently exalted as a Solar. She worries about being an Anathema and refuses to use her powers, but...

I submitted a question about that to the Ask the Devs thread, so hopefully that will be clarified as to exactly what they mean....

[BrilliantRain]

I’m honestly hoping we get an official 50s 60s Atomic! era. Maybe that’s an off shoot of Adventure! where the Hammersmith energies increased over time instead of slowly dissipating, causing things to get even weirder.

Aether and Avalon would both be similarly cool as official products.

Heck, who am I kidding, I’d love to have any of those listed in the first post as Eras, official or otherwise.

[BrilliantRain]

Wrong thread, sorry.

Really, what could be more hopeful than punching Nazis? Or, hell, going to Germany and trying to prevent the rise of fascism? Or using the Aeon Society’s resources and weird tech to try and help “fix” the Great Depression/the Dust Bowl?...

[BrilliantRain]

Given that Astrology is a thing in Creation and it accurately gives information about the future, I don’t think the planets, at least, can have fixed courses. I mean, if Venus needs to be in the House of the Hawk Star tomorrow to communicate some omen, it will be, regardless of where it “should” be.

I’m still working on mine, but I should be be able to post it this week.

Last I checked the site was being inundated with spam bots and there didn’t seem to be much anyone could do, other than disable everything.

[BrilliantRain]

I’m with everyone that generally says “Ok, first NO. Second, come talk to me about why you want it and we can maybe work something out.”

But, yeah, as theorycrafting exercise, I’d default to No for nearly everything here. Letting you shapeshift into one animal as a power seems ok to me and swiping the Lunar rules is probably the easiest way to do it, but I might add a catch or two, like giving you a tell or something.

Generally, I feel like directly breaking the rules like that should be an intentional thing that you decide on as a group, instead of having one...

[BrilliantRain]

I like it. Neat idea and a nice little twist....

[BrilliantRain]

What in particular do you like about Dragon Armor? So we make sure we’re giving the correct advice to help capture what you like.

[BrilliantRain]

I’d also take a look at Mela’s Coil in Arms of the Chosen. It really seems like it could serve well as Air Dragon Armor.

[BrilliantRain]

Mela’s Coil in Arms also seems like a good analogue for Air Dragon Armor too.

Is there any cool artifact armor in Heirs?...

In Shards of the Exalted Dream, the Exalted Modern shard had Alchemicals as a secret government black project that essentially fused Lunar exaltations with Autochthonian fragments, mixed them with the Magical Materials, and ended up creating a bunch of gemstones that were SUPPOSED to turn people into cyborg slave operatives, but they failed on the slave part.

They way they work is that you put the gem on a Mortal’s forehead, it extends filaments through the mortal’s body (and soul) turning them into an Alchemical Exalt for the rest of their lives (once they die, it retracts and...
