How easily are aspect markings concealed in DB? Some of the example ones sound perfectly mundane but others like the glowing coal eyes and ever drifting hair and unique casts to skin tone seem a bit iffier.

With a clever disguise stunt, you could manage it.

How would one mechanically represent the House Legions, and how much of past edition material still applie to legion size? The core book says a Size 5 battle group is two dragons of legionaires, but according to the math in the Thousand Correct Actions, a full legion is ten dragons in size. Obviously not all a house's legions would be on the field at the same time, but would saying that Ledaal's three legions abstract out to 15 Size 5 battle groups work?

The Realm goes into detail on this topic.

Do animals dicepool get larger when made legendary size via Mountainous Spirit Expression? Like a wolf for example

Nah it's all good.

Besides Thousand Blades Style, anything else you see cramming in as a neat kickstarter goal?

[GenericMaleNPC01]

Like... say... Sublime Danger...?

I know there's supposed to be a Third Circle Demon written up for the antagonist PDFs, but what would be the ballpark range of difficulty to bind them?

My friend has a player who's using Revolving Bow Discipline and Finishing Snipe to basically 1-shot enemies left and right but generating crap tons of initiative and decisively attacking them in a single turn. It seems very cleanly described but just for clarity, is it by design that you can reap all your foe's initiative, plus 1 for each attack it takes to crash them, plus the 5 bonus from crashing them, and then turning all of that into an attack against a foe with a big onslaught penalty from multiple attacks in 1 tick?

We've got a lot of fun stretch goals planned for the Lunar Kickstarter.

While I didn't write them, I do think that's how Revolving Bow Discipline and Finishing Snipe are supposed to interact.

What about Revolving Bow Discipline vs. Legendary Size?

It won't inflict onslaught, if that's what you're asking?

[Lioness]

More wondering how it's going to interact with an opponent that can't be crashed.

I'm curious about this for battle groups as well. My instinct would be that the attack stops when the character empties the group's magnitude track, as that is treated like initiative crash in most other circumstances.
