Wait we spent that many Bonus Points already? I thought we were aiming for essence 3?
Bonus Points Spent
Abilities 4(4 pts), Specialties 2 (1 pt), Essence 3(7 pts)
I think it should be Compassion 2, Temperance 3. Less compassion and more self control. I feel like all his interactions with Jack and just about anyone more powerful than him shows a lot of self control and level-headedness.[X] Virtue Plan Swift

You're funny. Most of the game mechanics talk goes over my head, so I'm letting people who know what they're about post plans and giving commentary on the parts I do understand.You could make your own plan Plus this is early pre canon Theo...
Yeah, but Temperance is also counter to gluttony and Theo wasn't exactly thin pre-Exaltation.I think it should be Compassion 2, Temperance 3. Less compassion and more self control.

I don't mind switching it. In fact I just did.For Presence we should really go with the first Excellency. You can try to impress people more than one time and mostly the greatest and the last time will stick in mind. It's exceedingly unlikely suffer failure penalities with even just the first excellency, but it's definitely worth it to get those really good rolls which make the girls permanently putty in your hands.
It's cheaper to raise Willpower with BP than- OIC, we only have 3 BP left, not 4+. Willing to take suggestions here.SwiftRosenthal, you do realize that your arrangement of virtues, while perfectly reasonable for a normal person, will give Theo a piddling 5 points of Willpower, right? (The sum of the two highest virtues.) Where willpower is essential to everything and by far the most expensive thing to raise?
Sadly, the only reasonable allocation for Virtues is 5/3/1/1 or 4/4/1/1. Yes, we want to spend our BP here.
I don't know that much about playing Abyssals, but wouldn't having compassion as a primary mess with our ability to manage resonance?
We have to occasionally kill people to avoid resonance but in order to do so we would have to suppress compassion which would result in gaining resonance?
You don't have to suppress compassion to kill people if you are fighting them or have a good reason, only for senseless murder.We have to occasionally kill people to avoid resonance but in order to do so we would have to suppress compassion which would result in gaining resonance?
Going with this, as "Virtue Plan evildice". I had an argument about how Theo was standing up for himself in the OP, just before he died, but I checked and that's not actually how it went. Editing.- Temperance 4 or 5 -- fun is for other people
- Conviction 3 -- when he sets himself on a goal, he's pretty dedicated
- Valor 2 -- he never stood up to Daddy
- Compassion 1 -- not a sociopath himself, but he has no difficulty eating dinner along side them
Where could I find this?Besides, there is a great Abyssal compassion flaw. It basically makes you avoid the sun for (essence) days and has a limit condition that is pretty hard to trigger.

DSD isn't clearly better. Comparing costs, 3m for AoE is probably cheaper than 1wp for Self in the vast majority of situations, but it's not clear whether Theo had at least six seconds' warning to cast DSD in time. (A short tick is a second, right?) Kaiser's attack reads as a surprise AFAICT, and I don't think even Theo would anticipate his own father accidentally killing him. OTOH, USD is reflexive and lasts a full magnitude longer. If the cause of death had been bad touch instead, USD would've prevented it.SwiftRosenthal, your plan would be better if you didn't spend 3 BP to get Valor 2. It's not like Valor 2 is really better than Valor 1. Instead you should spend 2 BP on Willpower and 1 BP on raising Lore to 3. Then you could swap Undying Stagnation Defense for Dream-Slaying Defense, which is basically the same, but better as it has an AoE. It's also much more fitting, considering that it would have stopped Kaiser's attack that killed Theo.
