Is becoming a chimera only about mixing new animal traits into your Lunar totem, or can you also mix in elemental traits? Not enough to gain access to elemental Charms, but instead new merits or attacks for your Spirit Shape -- your bear form can replace its furry hide with stony flesh, or your lion form can breathe fire, that sort of thing.

If not elements, then what about features like snake hair, or a second head, or a centaur-like body like the Lynels of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

So one form of Lunar Rage is just a counterattack, another is a Join Battle roll for more Initiative, and yet another is scheming a long-term plan to take revenge?

Rage is thus more of a *theme* of vengeance, just as Solar Exalted have a theme of "better than you"?...

[Sunder the Gold]

Is Lunar Rage an escalating condition, like the anima banner, and does this condition come with restrictions and demands, the way that Battle-Fury Focus and Bloodthirsty Sword-Dancer Spirit restrict and demand certain actions?

[Sunder the Gold]

I likewise suspected some kind of glitch....

[Sunder the Gold]

Okay.

Thanks for sharing as much as you did! Just knowing that Lunar Exalted should still have reasons to fight in all of these cool animals forms instead of ignoring them all for DBT (again) was worthwhile. It would have been a shame for DBT to muscle them out of the Edition that finally gave them actual stats to use and get excited about....

Posted that here, with a comic.

I am glad to hear that.

Would you rather remain silent on what the drawbacks of DBT are, compared to animal forms, or do you feel comfortable hinting at them?...

[Sunder the Gold]

Me, too.

Didn't mean to convey that I wasn't. I would sooner give Dragon-Blooded a bit more flexibility with their Aspect Abilities than give them more dots....

[Sunder the Gold]

Cool.



Nice to hear.



I assume a Wolf Totem warform will be mechanically distinct from the stolen body of a mortal wolf-type beastman... but will the difference be visually obvious in the way that a daiklave is clearly not a normal sword?

More importantly, is there any drawback to DBT that would leave me with a reason to fight in the form of lions, bears, and crocodiles (anything smaller than Legendary Size)? The War Form can at least *hold* a daiklave, whereas generally only ape forms could employ Evocations. Excepting suits of...

[Sunder the Gold]

Yeah. You'd still be best served making the character Fire Aspect, but at least you could choose as many Air-aspected Charms as you could find within the Fire Aspect Abilities....

Posted this in the wrong thread:


Which could mean that instead of 35 Ability dots to distribute, you could only have the same 28 available to Solar Exalted.

Which would further pinch Dragon-Blooded character creation....

Are either one of them "Gift"?

Can you talk a little about Deadly Beastman Transformation?...

[Sunder the Gold]

Well, even before 3rd Edition made playing a Dragon-Blood seem more fun and exciting than ever, I made it a time-killing hobby or time-killer to sort characters from other media by Exalted Host and Caste/Aspect.

Dragon-Blooded Aspects have always been the hardest, because of Aspect Abilities. More than any other splat, it seems that you end up with too many Abilities that don't fit the concept and not quite enough Favored Abilities to make up the gap. Sure, things are fairly painless if the character naturally fits the Fire Aspect, but most anything else involves stretching and squeezing....

[Sunder the Gold]

As the title asks.

How often do you see or play Dragon-Blooded who only really invest into their Favored Abilities and one or two of their Aspect Abilities?

[Sunder the Gold]

So is mastery of Martial Arts, but they can't make or teach Sidereal Martial Arts and they don't get any Mastery keyworded effects with the Immaculate Dragon Styles.

Solar Exalted are resonant with every magical material, achieve Mastery with every (other) Style, can learn Sidereal Martial Arts, are the only splat in the game who can cast Solar Circle Sorcery, have the highest dice-caps, Supernal Abilities, eight potential Caste Abilities per Caste, FIVE selectable out-of-Caste Abilities to favor, and generally the most powerful Charms in the game with effects like Wyld Shaping Technique....

[Sunder the Gold]

Thanks!

(ten count)...

[Sunder the Gold]

Then shouldn't this also apply to Thunderclap Rush Technique?...

[Sunder the Gold]

Revisiting this idea now that we've had previews into some really powerful and exciting elemental Dragon-Blooded Charms....

[Sunder the Gold]

Does Nimble Reaving Wind, in Miracles of the Solar Exalted, consume the Solar's movement action for his turn?

Can the Solar still use a Rush, Disengage, or Take Cover action in a flurry with NRW's attack, with only the reflexive Move action being excluded?
