    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The backlash wouldn't have been nearly as bad if Snuts didn't adamantly refuse to clarify that he doesn't support the Empire's views, or to, for example, educate his readers on why the things that 'proved' that the Empire was right to Taylor's perspective were horseshit. He didn't even need to...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    She gets quite a bit of insight into the nature of powers. Seeing the Butcher entities as separate beings probably gave her the idea. Further, while the willpower replenishment is unpleasant, it's a manageable solution. Between these things, it's easy to imagine Taylor would be willing to risk...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Lethal damage healing, supernaturally potent combat banter, territory perception, surprise negator, damage over time with archery attacks, minor durability increase, short range teleport, activated but significant unarmored durability increase, turn shit into arrows, mass emotion control...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Keep in mind, she never actually studied Newter. Just got high as fuck. She's always had Terrestrial Circle Sorcery. The essence bump her vision quest gave her just made her aware of it.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The key aspect of this charm that's important is quite blatantly explained in the story. The primary method of regaining willpower is having a good night's sleep. The primary drawback nightmare fugue vigilance is that even if you try to sleep, you have a decent chance of not regaining willpower...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    In this fic, it's explicit that it takes a little time for the Soul's Price to kick in. Using indirect means and severely limiting direct contact plausibly makes it work for me. She was straining her power to dance on a knife's edge and came out of it okay. Even the Exalted can get bamboozled by...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Also, remember the pro-nazi themes of the story. The Nazi construction companies will do a perfect job. The all-white construction crews will work to a high standard, because they don't use illegal labor. Also, Theo's Bureaucracy 5, Performance 5, Socialize 5, and Presence 5 actually does help...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I guess I can see it, but even beyond the problems you outline there's the issue that if Taylor eventually regains the power to summon a new, different wolf, particularly if the new one is a puppy like Piggot suggested, she'd still be in a position of 'helpless due to a Endbringer injury', even...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The kill order seems like an extreme reaction. I mean, parahumans don't necessarily understand their own powers, so being unable to summon Fenrir again could easily be misconstrued to having 'lost' their powers. I'm twisting the situation in my mind, but I'm not seeing where Piggot is getting...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Hrm. Could Theo be mistaken for Smith?

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Snut's basically said they're using Godblooded rules. Fully compatible with humans, and the Godblooded traits are inheritable. One godblood does not a dynasty make, though. They'll fade after a few generations without further spirit fucking.
  12. Requiem_Jeer

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    She should be capable of empowering a new Spirit-tied pet, yes. I'd wager she's not likely to do so for a while.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    There is something of a question in that whether or not this should be moved to the NSFW section due to all of the rape and such. That might be the thrust of a lot of the reports.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Taylor IS focusing on getting Alec's power while doing this, right? Because while her character development into a sadist Nazi doesn't make this break character, leaving Alec's power unstudied in the meantime definitely would.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    To be fair, the Nazi playbook is to point out all of the horrible corrupt things in the government and then blame it on some nefarious Jewish cabal. Standard scapegoat protocol mixed with conspiracy theories.
  16. Requiem_Jeer

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Danny did push back against the rhetoric. Not particularly effectively, mind you, but Taylor kind of bulldozed over his attempts. It's actually really hard to persuade a Nazi with words. A lot of them think they have facts on their side, but the majority of those facts are just absolute...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    No, the author did say that rune provided a charm with really high prerequisites. The absolute maximum training time, assuming that he's going to forgo elder b*******, is 10 days. That's for a ability/attribute 5 essence 5 charm. A one-day training time requires that it be either in essence 1...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    The most basic power of the Exalted is the Excellency. Spend essence, get dice. The thing is, Taylor has unlimited essence. So if she gets an excellency, she becomes hypercompetent at anything she tries at. The exact degree of hypercompetence would vary based on her actual competence, but...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    To be fair, you have to learn Yozi excellencies (Essence) times. So calling it 1kw of difficulty isn't quite right. But yeah, 1st adorjan excellency would give Taylor so much extra power it's not funny. You made the right call in denying it to Taylor.

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Probably that Lunar healing charm, Flesh-sculpting prana or whatever it's called. Of course, it really depends on what part of Panacea's power Taylor focuses on. They could also get a diagnosis charm, or Immunity to Everything Technique (or a derivative/lesser version) if she focuses on the...
