Wonderful!

I'M SEEING FOUR VOTES IN FAVOR OF SAND AND HOES, ONE IN FAVOR OF FUR BIKINIS AND THE IMMIGRANT SONG, ANY MORE VOTES?

VOTE CLOSED, SOUTH SELECTED!

YOU DWELL IN THE BURNING LANDS OF THE SOUTH, A WORLD OF FIRE, INCENSE, WAR, DJINNI AND, OF COURSE, HAREMS. IT'S ALL ABOUT THOSE HAREMS BABY, for those who can afford them that is *ahem*.
BUT WHERE IN THE SOUTH DO YOU LIVE? TELL ME ABOUT YOUR HOME. IS IT ON THE TROPICAL COASTLINE? AN EXOTIC PORT FOR SHIPS OF MANY NATIONS TO DOCK AND UNLOAD CARGO? IS IT AN OASIS IN THE DESERT? A RESPITE FOR WEARY TRAVELERS? SAY FIVE THINGS ABOUT YOUR HOME EACH.

>>3119616
Along a river, main crop Melons, cats common, the lord likes red (a lot), and good festivals.

>>3119616
Port filled with tradeships, lots of swords, homeless people know how to fight, and excellent dancing troupes.

>>3119616
Great port city
Famed for its artists and forges
Streets no matter wich district, rich or poor overflow with smell of spices
City full of patricians, merchants and coin
Loud in day and night, drunken with pleasures
And their infamous? slave market

>>3119620
>>3119631
>>3119647
Your city is a true wonder! Built at the mouth of a great river where it meets the sea, your city is prosperous and wealthy! Large, juicy melons fill every fruit cart [and lady's top!], threatening to spill out into the streets that stink glorious of spices. Your city is stuffed with merchants, nobles, patricians and the like, causing gold and silver to flow like water and wine. The streets are packed with workers, slaves and servants all day, and noisy with revelers, whores and dancing girls all night. Beneath the fluttering red flags of the local lord the people often celebrate their city, wealth and gods. The tinkling of coin is drowned out only by the hammers of blacksmiths and the clashing of blades, as martial artists, warriors, soldiers and guards find that tempers run as hot as the women in this sweltering city by the sea!

But what is your place in all of this?

Describe yourself to me. Rank your attributes in order of primary, secondary and tertiary. Add 8 points to your primary, then six to your secondary, then 4 to your tertiary but all of them have 1 already and can only be raised to 5!

We can talk, fight, sail away and also we can spot things better than other people. We have slight knowledge of bureaucracy and how to command bigger fights. If we aim to be capitan of a ship thats also quite important. I think it is kinda Sinbad like.

>>3131274
maybe 1 in Athletics ? for the rest it looks like him.

>>3131280
Maybe form linguistics?
Drop them to 2

>>3131284

>>3131344
fine

>>3131344
I can agree to this. For a trade city we will need or have gotten Bureaucracy & Linguistics skill some how. I was thinking of Integrity to resist sells pitches from others.

>>3131652
I never played exalted so i wouldn't know. But if integrity works like you described i think we could drop war completely and lower sail to 2. That would give us 2 point to upgrade integrity. Because last thing i want is to someone forcing us into some afoul deals.

>>3132590
I hoped to find a wiki with the into, but I can copy it from the book.

INTEGRITY
Trait Description: This trait is important in combat. Integrity allows the character to resist all forms of supernatural mental control as well as helping the character resist believing sale pitches or breaking under torture. Characters skilled in this Ability can resist all attempts to change their mind.
Specialties: Charms of a Particular Exalt Type, Spirit Charms, The Fair Folk, Persuasion, Torture

I would down to lower those abilities.

>>3132595
Ok. Maybe also lower dodge by 1 and upgrade bureaucracy?

>>3132608
Would be good if we plan to do more trading and less fighting.

>>3132611
Every port has its officials. Each city has its laws. Plenty of merchants and nobility, to use bureaucracy on

>>3133006
Looks great to me for starting out. Plus we have bonus points if we need to buff some abilities more. Tho I think there will be a few background we may want more, for gear and the like.

If you guys are okay with your ability spread then spread 4 specialty points around and we'll move on to backgrounds and bonus points.
You can have up to three specialty points per ability, each adding a die to rolls using that ability when you meet the requirements of the specialty. For instance, a swordsman with 2 dots in the "Swords" melee specialty would have an extra 2 dice for all melee calculations when using swords.

>>3135813
I don't really know where to get them from.
Is that page could be a good source? http://exalted.xi.co.nz/wiki/Specialities
Or would i need to get core book?
If it is ok
Bureaucracy - Economics
Presence - Command, Seduction
Socialize - Discern Motivation

>>3135843
The wiki seems to have some not from the core and the core suggestions.

Sounds good on the picks.

>>3135843
There isn't actually a list of specialties so to speak, as characters can make up their own. One swordsman might simply have "Swords" as his specialty, while another might have "My father's sword" as his. It all depends on what fits the character, some are quite broad, some are very focused, all however, have to have circumstances under which they aren't applicable, otherwise they aren't a specialty!
Economics works! Bureaucracy deals heavily with economics but also covers delegating authority, auditing officials and other things, so the business aspect is specific enough to count as a specialty!
Command and Seduction are both valid for Presence, taking these would give you an extra dice for each.
Discern Motivation works!

All good with that?

>>3138553
Yes
I promise to not use discern motivation on every living being we cross paths with

>>3138553
yeah

>>3138582
Ty anon <3

>>3138835
Sweet!

You have 18 bonus points and 10 background points! Bonus points can be spent in pretty much any area at varying exchange rates but background points can ONLY be spent on backgrounds.

Backgrounds are rated from 1-5 unless otherwise stated, and you can take the same background multiple times if you really want to.

RESOURCES are your income and wealth. 1 is poor, 5 is princely.

INFLUENCE is your political power, 1 is that of a minor official or local noble, 5 is that of a ruler or high-ranking noble.

FOLLOWERS is the people who personally serve you. They can be anything from gang members to soldiers to concubines.
Followers is measured from 0-9.
0 1 Solo
1 2-10 Fang
2 11-75 Scale
3 76-150 Talon
4 151-300 Wing
5 301-650 Dragon
6 651-1250 -
7 1251-2500 -
8 2501-5000 Legion
9 5001-10000 First Age Legion

ALLIES gives you people who're on your side explicitly. Every point in Allies gives you someone as strong as you who'll back you up if you need them to, or several weaker people. You can spend multiple points to gain a single stronger ally.
For instance, 1 might be a gangster or duelist, 5 might be a gang of wandering warriors, or a single Dragon Blooded on your side.

ARTIFACTS are magical weapons, armor and tools that are the exclusive province of Essence wielders, as such you won't be able to use them at chargen, but that's not to say you won't ever be able to, or that they're not valuable bargaining chips. A 1 dot Artifact is something like a magic knife or a vase that refrigerates its contents, a 5 dot artifact can be a magic sword that can burn forests at every swing or a jar that holds lakes.

BACKING is the number or power of the organization/s that have your back. 1 is a department or gang, 5 is the leader of a nation.

CONNECTIONS are the number and placement of contacts you have around the country and beyond.

REPUTATION is your social standing, 1 is minor fame, 5 is national hero.

a MANSE is a magical facility of awesome power, it can be super-cozy lovenest to take the harem on holiday or a weapons platform capable of targeting anything within a hundred miles, they range in power from 1-5 and you can use the points to either make one big manse or several smaller ones.

MENTOR is either the number of your teachers in various rare forms of knowledge or their strength and skill.

10 background points

FOLLOWERS - 2
ALLIES - 4
ARTIFACTS - 1
BACKING - 1
That would left u with 6 bonus points.
I would throw them into allies
Of Course if i done everything ok to this point.
I looked thru exalted core book but that not make it clear for me

>>3141952
With the 6 points we could make artifact 2 and grab 5 manse. For a Skin mount amulet to gain Essence pool for attunement and a GEM OF IMMORTALITY (cost 5) to never age or SEACALM GEMSTONE (cost 4) for protection from weather at sea.

>>3142769
>SEACALM GEMSTONE
sounds nice
Immortality as we hard as fuck to kill or we just don't age?
Immortality sound like a nice goal

>>3142778
>IMMORTALITY
While he bears the stone, the character does not age, nor does he suffer from the infirmities and illnesses of old age.

The Seacalm is nice. "a character can ride before a gale with full sails and have no fear of ripped cloth or snapped masts. Storm spirits may respect, fear or hate the character bearing this hearthstone according to their temperament."

>>3141952
>I looked thru exalted core book but that not make it clear for me

I commend your research! However for the quest I'm largely gonna streamline the mechanics of traditional exalted. Everything is still gonna work pretty much the same though, for instance Skin Mount amulets will still give a couple of peripheral motes and Hearthstones will still do what they do as these guys put it: >>3142769
>>3142792

And to answer >>3142778 Yep, it's pretty much biological immortality outside of getting murdered or having a building drop on you.

>>3143109
I was never fan of big magic items. But i will go for anything this >>3142792
anon suggest.

>>3143807
Sailors

>>3143807
>Half are a harem of brown girls
>Half are sailors who are brown girls
If that's not OK I'm voting for a full crew of sailors

>>3144728
I thought to put harem part into ALLIES

>>3143807
RESOURCES will be probably a boat of some kind, and maybe house in home port.
FOLLOWERS group of loyal sailors
ALLIES Officers and wives
ARTIFACTS Magic spyglass, or something like that
BACKING probably connection witch wealthy merchant or a guild from a marriage

>>3144728
>Half are a harem of brown girls
>Half are sailors who are brown girls
>This much excellent taste in one thread.
I approve anon.

>>3144731
Allies are powerful/competent characters similar to yourself, you can have followers AND Allies in your harem!

>>3144743
Don't forget! The more Resources the bigger your house/boat and thus the more chicks you can keep around you at any given time!

>>3144782
Thanks for the approval, my man
>followers AND allies in harem
We could also make everybody (crew, allies, backing) part of the harem

>>3144803
Sailors are the harem
Full female crew

>>3144810
I like the way you think, anon.

>>3144743
I couldn't find any spyglass or the like for Artifact 1 cost that was worth it.
I like the idea of Officers for allies. Use the 4 to get equal people for some thing like. Body Guard/Front-line Fighter, First Mate, Shipwright, and Best girl.

----

If we go for the skin mount and get the Seacalm. We can use the free point and drop Socialize to 4 to get resources 4. I believe we can buy a good boat to fit all our followers, the BLUE-WATER MERCHANT.

Get you a good sandship and a Gemstone of Surface Thoughts, lad. Only a rating 2 hearthstone, to read minds.

>>3145981
If we can would a sandcalm version not work in the ocean of sand? Tho that matters little if we focus more on the sea our home is connected to viva river.

Immortality was more character back story thoughts. We could pick The Phoenix' Egg if we want extra lives at the risk of weakening willpower, a Virtue, and a botch revive reduces Essence.

I just realized how important the Seacalm is. With it you can sail your harem wherever you please without the storm mothers being able to stop you! Otherwise a ship bearing that many bodacious brown babes would be sunk in minutes!

>>3145981
We've already agreed that the starting city will be on the coast anon! Though that hearthstone DOES sound pretty good. I've decided to post some flaws and extra backgrounds, as all this talk has inspired me.

Btw, just so you guys know where I've been when I vanished, I'm having to leave the computer a lot at the moment.

Speaking of which, y'all are gonna want Stamina 5 with 75 bitches. Just saying.

Or 11 bitches with the stamina of 75.
We can pay more personal attention to each one that way.
