In the end it wasn't the great curse that made the Solars a menace it was a lifespan measuring 5000+ years, no challenges, no one who could tell them no, and a culture that taught them that nothing matters other than their personal interest.

True.

And when you have one of those First Age Solars and a God-like Dragon who used to wreak nations and kill millions as a side-effect of his battles against his destined rival, with neither remembering why they fought in the first place but they keep going at it because "why not", the temptation is strong.

They're great, true, but they aren't good role models for a human.

I'm tempted to vote that way at the moment. I'm a bit nihilistic after reading the most recent Alchemical Quest update on SB.

Stop letting other Quests influence your decision in other Quests. That's just bad gaming.

So is there a complete index somewhere? The one on page 1 is missing a lot of parts, and jumps around a lot.

Why? Didn't it work as it is now?

Currently I am confused by something:

Fist of the Daystar Form
Cost: 4m;
Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2;
Type: Simple (Speed 3, DV -1)
Keywords: Form-type, Obvious, Hero
Duration: Scene
Prerequisites: Sledgehammer Fist Punch, Dragon Coil Technique

The pugilist suffuses her body with the Essence of the Sun. She becomes a paragon of strength and skill, radiant with the power of a legendary hero returned. She may reflexively spend 1 mote in Step 7 to count bonus successes on her unarmed Martial Arts attack rolls twice for the purposes of damage.

What count as bonus successes? And why many Charms of this style increase the damage of attacks, but there isn't even one which increase the chances to hit?

Bonus successes are the extra successes you get beating a DV that are added to damage.

Say I roll 8 successes over a DV of 5. That's more than I needed and the extra successes are added to the damage roll.

Also, the reason there aren't any Charms in Fist of the Daystar to improve your chance to hit is because it is assumed you'll have already picked up a Martial Arts Excellency and be using that to improve hit chance while using the Fist of the Daystar Charms to increase damage.

Why the hell are people still voting for the "we are a superior being who is totally not going to go mad with power in the near-to-distant future" option?

Do I need a reason?
Regardless, as far as reasons go there's the fact I'd find the results of this choice, however they go (and quite frankly I highly doubt we'll ever manage to go mad with power but anyway) more entertaining then the alternatives.

~~I mean, not all the parts are linked. If you were to just read the linked posts, you'd be missing a lot.~~

Upon further examination, I see that it's that the parts are linked according to plot grouping, not post date.

That confused me. I think I got it now.

I would say yes but I'm biased because I think your choice is going to send the quest to horrible places and ruin everything forever if it wins. Why don't you try convincing me that it won't?

It's considerably less IC to think about it though. I took the "I don't know" option because I don't want Issei to turn into an entitled douchebag with a god complex but I also don't want him to slide into the other extreme of never using his powers for anything besides fighting evil or what have you. Let's be honest, if you were a teenage kid and you had superpowers you would be hard-pressed to never use them just for shits and giggles.

The key word you should note there are "for a human". Put bluntly we stopped being able to call ourselves a human around the point when we got revived by an exalt shard with the added bonus of having a dragon in our head. We aren't going to be living a human life, aren't going to be doing things a human should or could do, so why exactly should the role models of humans matter to us?

"We have superpowers and nigh-immortality so that gives us a blank check to ignore human morality" is not a line of reasoning that anyone should be following willingly unless you are deliberately trying to turn us into the second coming of Desus.

And for that matter, Bright claiming Solars have no weaknesses is bullshit of the highest order which we really ought to be calling her on given that she's dead from being stabbed in the back by her subordinates.

I highly doubt we'll ever ignore human morality even if the whole quest outright pushed Issei that way. Regardless, ignoring such things as how humans can't even agree on a system of morality for themselves thus making following it rather hard, at last check acknowledging that we really are beyond most humans isn't going to turn Issei into Desus.

And while Bright is somewhat wrong on the not having weaknesses part, I suspect that line had more to do with purging your mortal weaknesses and becoming better then it had to do with being invincible.
