it should also be noted that we chose Easy difficulty so Alexander isn't going to be throwing random death at us just for the lols

Not for the lols, no, but since he's not familiar with the system there's a risk that he'll make enemies functionally unbeatable without meaning to.EternitynChaos said:it should also be noted that we chose Easy difficulty so Alexander isn't going to be throwing random death at us just for the lols
I've heard two different reasons for why canon!Ise hasn't gotten laid yet.Alexander said:A meeting between Exalted! Issei and Canon Issei would be a thing to behold.
My first personal theory about why Canon Issei is like that is because the unresolved sexual tension is driving him crazy.
The second is that the Author doesn't know how to write character development.

Check out some of the more authoritarian Arab countries or African ones. There stuff goes downhill fast.
On the other hand most girls in Issei's life aren't Japanese.megrisvernin said:So this makes me wonder Alexander. Can we assume Issei is beginning to act more reserved & respectful in his class? Basically he doesn't make nearly so many mindless comments, or remark on girl's bodies like he did in canon at least in front of others outside his inner circle?
This might be a problem for Issei soon. Culturally Japanese has an ideal of a submissive, ever collected & loyal woman so that actually provides great cover for why Issei isn't being swamped with girls yet. Sort of an enhanced "slut shaming" tendency for those who violate it that I notice in certain parts of the United States. Guys have to initiate everything, it's a mark of pride for a girl to get a guy to ask him out versus having to do the reverse.
But I take it the way Issei is now acting in the last update has been a steady development for him, a gradually improvement of his social awareness & reduction in the number of lewd comments he makes especially now that he has a release of sexual tension with Mittelt. An attractive male who has a nice personality, polite & thoughtful will make Issei even more of a target. I'm betting that by now rumors have started to spread about the two girls Issei walks to school with are both blonde bombshells & that he's at risk of being "taken".
I doubt any of them will go as far as to ask Issei "out", but there will be a clamoring whenever there are group projects to partner up with him & a number of them will try to look "wistful & lost" in front of him, trying to motivate Issei to help them out with their apparent problems. Some of them might go so far as trying to look provocative or show off their girls in various moments to tempt him(allow doing so in a way that occurred "accidentally" of course.
I'm working on it. Actually this is related to something I want to talk later in this post.EternitynChaos said:Also Alexander has come right out and said that Azazel is just like he is in the mainline, which means he's a chill bro who won't fuck us over. hell he's another person I wouldn't mind learning from, so that's someone we can learn Norse magic from early AND someone who can teach us Fallen Angel magic and maybe Angel magic, depending how that works on top of crafting on Earth etc.
No offense: that's true. That's why I want to address the problem now.Indrik said:This has certainly been one of my main concerns in this quest. No offense to Alex, but it is clear both by his own admission and his use of the system that he is not at all experienced with Exalted. Mechanically, it is entirely incompatible with DxD and that leads to awkward situations like these because the GM isn't veteran enough to create the necessary house rules (such as flat training - see Sojiko's Conquest Quest on SB for an example of an expert Exalted player/GM running a quest).
That's the role I intended for Boosted Gear: allowing Solar Issei to be competitive with the rest of DxD. In an Exalted game it's broken, but not so much in DxD.Smuthunter said:We do have one thing going for us right now though, and that's Boosted Gear. We haven't even unlocked Balance Breaker yet but our Overdrive pools already triple our maximum mote capacity. That is stupidly broken by the standards of most games I can think of and we're just beginning to scrape the surface of what we can do with dragon power.
Yes: I am going to give you a reasonable progression of power. You will not be forced to fight alone massively overpowered foes.EternitynChaos said:it should also be noted that we chose Easy difficulty so Alexander isn't going to be throwing random death at us just for the lols
From Scion? That would require me to read it too...I will give it a try.BFldyq said:My suggestion on how to stat Vali: use the epic attribute system.
No, I never said that. You can't learn Sidereal Martials Arts. Sorry.EternitynChaos said:we can now buy up all the core Fist of the Day Star charms, other then the capstone charm. once we do that we should get the charm that halfs the cost of celestial MA charms before buying any of the Solar only expansion charms. we are one dot away from being considered skilled enough to cout as a Sifu *need 5+dots for that* at the moment we are just a normal mentor cribing our training off of memorys Bright is showing us etc, basicly we be cheating like a Eclipse Caste.
Which is amusing since Alexander has said later on when we get the Essence for it *5 for the lowest level one* while it may take some time and cost a bit more Bright will be able to set up a workable system for us to learn Sidereal Martial Arts, which is awesome no matter how you look at it.
Alexander said:On the other hand most girls in Issei's life aren't Japanese.
Anyway, wait for my next post where I will discuss important things for the quest.
Alexander said:Yes, but it isn't a great way to make a first good impression. Ruby is naïve, not stupid.
Bright didn't use Martial Arts in her life.
However she was a Twilight, a keeper of knowledge. She studied and memorized a great deal of theoretical knowledge about all types of knowledge, including Martial Arts and their principles.
So she can tell you how it is supposed to be done, but not show you how it is done.
As such learning a Martial Art Style, Fist of the Dayster excluded, require more effort than normal.
The good news? Bright can tell you about all the styles ever developed in Creation before her death, even some Sidereal ones: those are even more difficult, but doable even if not economic.
Argh, sorry I forgot. You can learn Sidereal Martial Arts.EternitynChaos said:Erm, then what did you mean but this comment here in that case Alexander?
