Another option is to give free Initiative to the opponent. Turning your back to run from an opponent with a deadly weapon sounds like a great opener for a stronger Decisive attack....

[Paradim]

And applicable to all Exalts?

Damn, what a way to water down a thematic idea... I'd be disappointed with that......

[Paradim]

I remember there being background described of the Unconquered Sun being upset over the actions of his Chosen during the First Age and that's the start of why he's turned his back on Creation.

I think you're over-emphasizing the addiction to the Games to such a hyperbolic extent that it's very difficult for me to take your concerns seriously there....

Furniture gets broken....

[Paradim]

I believe sound breaking glass has more to do with the particular frequency of the sound, rather than the volume of it. A singer can break a glass with their voice without rupturing people's eardrums....

[Paradim]

How would you fight an armored drake that lurks in a lake of acid in a chamber that shatters weapons when they're used?

What will a vampire do if the drake grabs them and pulls them under?...

[Paradim]

Yeah. To play on the level of legendary vampires, you need to play a legendary Beast....

[Paradim]

This kind of sounds like something your table needs to work out... Because the scope of your game seems far beyond what the core book of Beast has....

[Paradim]

That seems more like an exception, rather than a general rule. Lodges are not representive of Werewolves as a whole.

Regardless, the book makes it clear that it's up to the Storytellers discretion....

[Paradim]

That same section I mentioned says that it's up to the Storyteller's discretion as to whether other Supernatural creatures can take Advanced and/or Epic Merits. Some of them seem appropriate for other Supernatural creatures, some don't....

[Paradim]

Page 112 says, "If a Merit lists being 'Advanced' or 'Epic', it's a supernatural extension of a mundane Merit." That means the merits are supernatural powers and are eligible for clashing other supernatural powers.

The reason those Merits say Beast is because they're meant to be accessible to Beasts. I think that Dev said they would prefer there to be merits like those for other supernatural creatures, but that doesn't mean that say, a werewolf should be able to take a Merit like the Advanced version of Eidetic Memory....
