No, Eiko handles his finances. Also, He's not a member of House Gremory, he's a contractor that does some work for them. They wouldn't have any right to handle his money even if he was getting a cut of the fertility charms.
This just gave me a thought to what Issei's Normal Human Parents are gonna feel when they eventually realize that their son became an Oyabun and head of an organization. I imagine them waking up one day and heading out only to be greeted by a line of bowing Yakuza/Yokai saying "GOOD MORNING MASTER/MISTRESS!"
...even funnier when others start to have expectations of the PARENTS of a Solar -fuckin- Dragon God

Hmm...question. Would Sorcery work in this new world? I mean charms work basically by throwing amazing amounts of magical energy at things and going "Hey I'm a Exalt" but Sorcery IIRC works by principles underpinning Creation that were inprinted in its inception by the Primordials.
I doubt it, she'd never acknowledge that another Solar had better insight into the Yozi than her, so I can't imagine her being willing to use K'tula's charm. And frankly, the thing is a hack job. She's probably got something similar though.

Not true. Charms are not magical spells, they're expressions of superhuman skill in various fields. If you're thinking about an essence pool, that isn't an MP meter so much as it is a stamina meter.
I was talking about Essance yes. The Core Book does make a note that a lot of Solar Charms work by throwing around a HUGE amount of Essance. IIRC the example given was ten motes of Essence was like the equivalent of Excalibur.
EDIT: Found it. Second edition core book, Page 179. The comparison is between ten motes of Solar Essence as being equivalent to the Philosophers stone or the blade Excalibur. Of course that's probably hyperbole but *shrug*.

Sorcery works by dumping huge amounts of essence into the world and using it to just override reality into whatever you want. Charms work by either filling yourself with a small amount of essence to reinforce whatever it is your doing (excellencies), or by shaping essence into a specific pattern that causes the world to react in a specific way (other charms).
What's that infernal charm that is basically setting up a minor secondary soul inside your primary to act as a Essance battery? I mean I know we have Boosted gear to keep us flowing with Essence but...
(Also am I the only one who takes Bright's interest in Diag's confirmation that Dragon's have a infinite lifespan to mean she's going to try (though who knows if she would succeed) to get Issei up to Essance 11 in the (VERY) far distant future. (as in thousands of years in the future most likely).

Sorta a contradiction in terms. Essence 10 is defined as "using 100% of your powers potential" or "as enlightened as a being can be and still exist". It's possible to rework your power to get stronger after reaching Essence 10, but that's changing the nature of your essence, not getting Essence 11.
Essence 11+ is not listed in core books and all due to the fact that they are OP as fuck. But it definitely exists - unless you are alluding that the Yozis and Neverborn are at E10?
They didn't stat them in core book and their extensions, but that's what makes them even more scarier!

No Primordials are all E10 Sol is E10 Luna is E10. E10 for all the old fucks including the Dragons nothing exists past E10 not even Fae in the Wyld go pass E10.
Essence level is a measure of how deep you can reach into and observe reality in Creation, which is made of Essence. E10 is "I can see Everything" level, so there isn't a level to reach beyond E10.
1) What are we going to do with Jan-Inhan Chujeog? Here we have this sword that is eager to be wielded again after spending a long time dormant and/or sealed, yet we are clearly more of a Martial Artists than a swordsman. So... should we talk to it and see if it would accept any of our allies/followers fighting it for the right to wield it? Do any of them even need a shape-shifting sword?
2) How Dragonic is our Dragoon/Warform thing anyway? Back in the Raiser fight it seemed to be like a bipedal dragon-human hybrid, but at the end of the Youkai Yakuza Arc it seemed more like a full out walking-on-4-legs dragon. Do we have 2 different forms or am I missing something?
Edit: *Comes back 36 hours later to check and see if anyone answered my questions*
*sees that no one posted anything*
Was it something I said or is there a superstition about posting on April 1st or something?
*sulks a bit*
Well I didn't really know the answer to either so didn't really comment
Though I did have a question, a while ago (I think after our training with Azrael) there was a scene where somebody (I think it was Rias but it could have been Azrael) points out that we had obtained the power equivalent to a low class devil. Am I misjudging power levels or something? We are a Solar...though granted we are a baby Solar with only like Essence 4. Or was that just what they could work out, or to do with reputation rather than pure power?
You've got to remember, Solars are more about flexibility and being able to do just about anything. Raw destructive power doesn't come as easily, at least with corebook charms.
Ultimate class Devils, and those of equivalent power levels, can unleash as much destructive power as a nuke over an area the size of a small city or up to one of the islands of Japan. For a Solar to do the same is a lot more difficult, and usually requires Sorcery, Artifacts, or combos
However, Solars are probably better at one on one combat, in general.
Edit: Just thought of something.
When we get to the peace treaty arc, Issei will probably end up limit breaking, as several of the attacking magicians are female, and will be taken down in the battle.

And just like that, that one charm that lets people know something is up when limit breaking just become more urgent to get. This does raise another question I have: Does seeing multiple women in distress simultaneously count as a single point towards limit break or several?
In other news, I've been perusing through some of the other quests in the site, namely the NSFW ones. You people are fucking insane you know that? *cackles* I love it.
I am not sure if this charm is a good idea, or how it would work with Boosted Gear.
Cost: 10m, 1wp or 13m, 1wp; Mins: Resistance 4, Essence 3; Type: Simple
Keywords: Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Hauberk-Lightening Gesture
The Solar armors herself in the blazing glory of the Unconquered Sun. This Charm creates a suit of golden body armor from the Solar's anima. The character can design the armor to suit his personal aesthetic and mood — it can be sleek, imposing, ornate or simple. Regardless of aesthetic, it is always unmistakably medium or heavy armor, and it always glows with a golden light resembling an 8-10 mote Solar anima display. This light is bright enough to read by in a three-yard radius.
Characters can only use this Charm if they are not already wearing body armor or a warstrider. It creates armor with 10L/10B soak, 5 Hardness, a -1 mobility penalty and no fatigue penalty. The character is instantly fully armored. For an additional three motes, if the character is not carrying a shield, he can create a glowing shield that gives a +1 cover DV bonus against hand-to-hand attacks and a +3 cover DV bonus against ranged attacks. This shield is always unmistakably a shield and bears the sunburst emblem of the Unconquered Sun.
As of now Issei isn't capable of learning any Martial Art that is classified as Sidereal, for he lacks a Sifu. To bypass that limitation he will need specific Charms, and those only work on DxD, outside Creations's strict rules.
The history Compilation Committee, IIRC, originates from Campione! They have authority in the supernatural world the same way powerful organisations/people have authority in the real world, that is they have a lot of powerful members, they have lots of money and the know where the bodies are buried. They probably have contacts WITH the Japanese Goverment but I doubt they are actually working for them.
Pretty much. Officially they swore loyalty to the Emperor, but every ruler since the Edo period pretty much know not to investigate too much, just to accept the good results.

Believe me, there will be time when Jan's power will be useful.

Issei doesn't have the raw destructive power that the top hitters of DxD have, but as the ancient Solars did for the Primordials he push forward with skills and reality-breaking powers.
In DxD terms, Issei is a Tech fighter, sad to be a bitch to fight for all Power fighters.
