Here are some things the eclipse known as Mako Li, Heaven's Golden Fan did during his time in Creation. Mako Li had 0 combat charms, maxed out Charisma, Appearance, Socialize, Bureacracy, Integrity and whatever other low hanging celestial fruit he could grab. Mostly infernal charms. Anyway, he:

Taught Tea Ceremony to the Sister in Law of the Head of the Wyld Hunt in the Scavenger Lands
Doubled the amount of supplies and speed of logistics for the Wyld Hunt
Sent the Wyld Hunt 500 miles in the wrong direction
Hid 3 new Solars from the Wyld Hunt
Orchestrated the...

There's a certain irony in saying "I don't trust your sources which neither of us have on hand. Here's an unsourced claim that backs me up. But I'm willing to let you find more sources". Whelp, who knows. Maybe Gilgamesh invented chainmail in 10000 BC when he killed the Bull of Heaven.

Anyway. I'm going to go against the grain and declare my unironic, totally sincere love for silly impractical sexy armor. I love that Volfer fights in a speedo and the arm part of a set of super heavy plate. I love that he battles with a metal surfboard while deflecting blades off his rockhard...

"The earliest examples of surviving mail were found in the Carpathian Basin at a burial in Horný Jatov, Slovakia dated at 3rd century BC, and in a chieftain's burial located in Ciumești, Romania.^[3][4][5] Its invention is commonly credited to the Celts,^[6] but there are examples of Etruscan pattern mail dating from at least the 4th century BCE." Wiki says no. ...

In 2.5 our ST gave us each a custom charm based on something we did or fit our character. My Socializer had the ability to pull a paper fan out of his sleeve with a single word written on it (Disappointment, Flirt, etc...). Our Dawn got the ability to manifest a chandelier to swing on, errol flynn style, which he once dropped on the juggernaught that Mask of Winters uses to hold up his castle. our Zenith took a macguffin indestructible pillar and ripped it from the ground, put it on his shoulder and carried it back to the ship. When the DBs attacked us in the street, he two hand pillar smashed...

Don't make a storm in a peachtea cup mate, we're just at "forumn banter" level here. Alucard might have worded his disagreement better but it;s nothing worth calling mum out to the playground.



This is a healthy and valid way to express your concern over a Working. As ST, I would just find a reason why my regular plothooks would cross paths with the Worked Over One and prewrite some interesting shenanigans to pull out of the metaphorical hat.

[Sorcerous Overlord]

but, you did shit on Accelerator 's idea. "In what way is [Sorcerous Working that gives strange luck] different then a ST just throwing a bunch of rando shit in?" does not a healthy question make. Domino from Deadpool 2 had the "extreme luck" superpower, is that the same as saying "she doesnt have a power the director just wanted to shoehorn her in so here's a bunch of rando stuff"? Does Logan's power of healing not exist when the Director can just say "yeah you survived that bullet"? It's a bad comparison you made, and the wording in it leads me only to...

Did a JRPG trope kill your parents? relax mate. I really like the idea of a riches and luck producing sorcery.

EDIT: somehow the culture drug list didn't get sent.

Most Culture individuals opt to have drug glands that allow for hormonal levels and other chemical secretions to be consciously monitored, released and controlled. These allow owners to secrete on command any of a wide selection of synthetic drugs, from the merely relaxing to the mind-altering: "Snap" is described in Use of Weapons and The Player of Games as "The Culture's favourite breakfast...

Excellent post JohnDoe244, however, I'm a noted Primordial apologist so I disagree with the stuff about Sunny D being right and Theion admitting failure....

Hey, so just a quick "In universe- out of universe" thing here, Creation is FULL of Martial Arts. There are probably 100+ schools of swordsmanship on the Blessed Isle alone. Supernatural martial arts are a set of esoteric, quasi-philosophical practices that work in a special way. But Peleps Jong Yi the Flowing Blade (Melee), White Lotus Tiger (SPSitV), and Red Devil Xheng (Fire Style) are all going to call themselves "martial artists" in universe. In WuXia, that term has no specific meaning beyond "Warrior", because EVERYONE studies at the 8 Trigrams School or the...

Did we all come back around on Steel Devil? I thought it was "helps you win more if you've already won, doesn't help you win if you needed help wining".

For my part, the merit Sobriquet displays your legend to the world. Mechanically it lets you get one bonus success on a social stunt. "But Sorcerous Overlord, I'm a Fighter not a Talker!". I know, child. I know. Uncle Overlord is wise in all things. The Sobriquet merit lets you choose a title that you think is badass and then leverage that fame once per story to make a truly epic stunt. Mnemon Liranan, Invincible...

Does it have to be a DragonBlooded? If you want to use the legos in the box and don't mind reflavoring, why not make a Lintha Eclipse Caste? You could Supernal Sail, and you can use the Eclipse Charmshare to learn a lot of the cool water moves- off the top of my head the Water Elemental Seahorse Rainbow Bus Has a charm that lets you screw with ships that are pursuing you. Dip Sorcery for Summon Elemental, Demon of the 1st Circle, Beckoning That Which Stirs the Sky, Floral Ferry, and Keel Cleaves The Clouds are all major thematic. You could toss a peach into a swirling fogbank and sail on a longboat...
