    I would consider fucking to be the lower of Dexterity of Appearance + Performance.

    Why would an exalt do that often enough to need a special charm for it. A mortal's MDV can be beaten easily enough with excellencies especially since going against their orientation certainly can't be harder than convincing them to kill their family so it is at most +3 to their MDV if an...

    If we are getting into the legal definitions of things sexual (and regular) harassment has to be an ongoing thing not just trying to flirt with someone once and being shot down and it has to be fairly clear it is unwanted (context can remove this such as if the harasser has power over the victim...

    Not at all true, it is a low priority goal compared to looking good. This one is only Piggot's personal project* rather than national policy. The national policy is superheroes are perfect paragons and have no place being normal or having human flaws. *It is kind of sad we never got to see...

    Usually Raksha aren't quite that meta but it does demonstrate their inhuman viewpoint pretty well. Goblin Queen Taylor is a lot better representation even if most Raksha aren't as nice as her due to a need for emotions to refill their mote pools.

    I would like to try and set Sabah up with Amy. They might make a cute couple and helping her sister find a nice (not-white) girlfriend might get Victoria to back off.

    The important part of becoming a Lunar is looking death in the eyes and spitting at it and keeping that up until you start glowing or your heart stops. Later story Taylor fits that perfectly but I'm not sure about early Taylor.

    Solar exalted living an incredibly long time almost destroyed creation. I imagine the neverborn expect something similar to happen if the Abyssals live long enough and they don't want them keeling over of old age before they reach the same levels of age, power and crazy.

    3E buffed a lot of the non-combat (normal or social) skillsets so that they are still somewhat relevant in games not focused around them. 2E lore basically was for making high quality mundane minions and good for little else (except hacking on modern) in 3E it also does awesome by analysis and...

    There is a lot of variation in UMI. What you said fits most Solar UMI charms. Generally Infernal charms that use UMI are far more mind control-like or direct mind altering. Sidereal charms are a mix if causality manipulation, and straight mind manipulation. Most of the their charms are...

    Can you provide a citation? Because my books don't say anything like that. (to non-exalted experts the charm we have is a mirror of this one which means it is the exact same thing but angsty and dark) Nothing about needing to spend them one at a time. There are charms like that but they...

    Something to keep in mind about creation is that most of the languages are engineered by solars or at least decended from one that was*. This means that modern languages are very efficent** *The notable exception being old realm and realm (high and low) of which the former was written into...

    Something to keep in mind is that perfectly impenetrable disguise isn't shape shifting but simply being so good at making costumes that no one can tell it is a costume. From Theo's perspective he would just be wearing fake bras and hiding his dick if he had a disguise as a girl. Loom Snarling...

    One of my ideas for a Lunar Taylor would be if she after the locker instead of falling into depression decides that since they tried to kill her she is now justified returning the favor as long as she gets caught and pulls an elaborate plan to poison Sophia, exalting once she is alone after...

    Lily is gay and we are very male. She wouldn't be interested the only thing her genderbending knack would let her do is seduce straight girls with male forms. Theo couldn't learn any genderbending charms because Lunars don't use charms for that they use Knacks which Eclipsoids can't learn.

    Well I didn't intend for there to be any meaningful level of granulatity just something along the lines that Theo has been in a lot of fights and used a sword so melee charms get a 1 week discount on training time. The cost reductions would explicitely only be given for stuff we are doing...

    That is basically how it works in most RPGs anyway as I doubt they will micromanage their time like that. Far more likely they keep themselves too busy to train until a timeskip.

    Keeping track of training time in a quest with small amounts of time passing is really tedious. Instead of manually keeping track of what we are doing training how about we just get an abstract amount of training time to spend like xp as time passes. Possibly with cost reductions for things we...

    That is technically true but PPE is a elder essence charm that was invented after decades of work by an obsessed first age solar and all knowledge of it probably died with the first age. This isn't an easy thing they can do on the side after redemption it is an entire epic goal in and of itself...

    Tics can be interpreted as one second but they don't actually have a literal timespan. Like a lot of things in exalted tics run on narrative logic they are an abstract unit of time used to keep track of what happens in what order. Depending on the skill level of the combatants and your preferred...
