This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Maese Mateo;887568Heroic Mortals with EX3 is cool. The momentum mechanic combat uses works quite well with them.

I could see the engine turned into a cool wuxia game, with a new system for martial arts.

So many really like the momentum system but its one of the things unsold me on it. I don't like how it "feels" and the time I tried it it felt like the same slog just grinding through different numbers.

Well, there's something I disagree about. I mean, I agree Godbound are more powerful than Exalted, at least at the start, I just disagree with the examples.

QuoteNone of these exalted can become a arch-god nor can create a paradise.  The terrestrials and exigents don't even have dominion so they can't even make those everlasting changes.

At least Solars can wrest a paradise from the Wyld, and Exigents might well have Dominion.

Why wouldn't the DBs have Dominion? I think the rules in the book, where they simply can't make impossible changes, would be fine.

Would this be about the time to spin off a new tangent topic?

Perhaps: "Godbound Does Exalted"? (I'm sorry I couldn't do alliterative justice to the sublime 'Debbie Does Dallas' but it will have to do.)

Quote from: Snowman0147;889094I didn't make the dragon bloods not use dominion.  Kevin did that and let us remember this.  Dragon bloods are the weakest of the exalted so it makes sense.
Actually, Scions can use Dominion just fine, they just can't use it for Impossible changes.
QuoteScions find it harder to produce the large-scale, long-term effects
that other Godbound can conjure. Scions cannot use Influence or
Dominion to create Impossible changes in the world. These reali-
ty-defying changes are simply beyond their power to enact, so great
deeds usually require them to pile up enough lesser alterations until
their desired end becomes merely Improbable instead of Impossible.

By paradise you mean a place where souls are free to rest their for all externality?  A place where the solar can spend a action to regain all spent effort?  Which he has double as much effort so he is twice the solar he once was?

No I don't think so.  He can make very nice land which could resemble a heavenly paradise, but that is it.

Must had got it confused with the side box then.  My apologizes then.

Okay I fix the error.  Dragon bloods, exigents, and rakshas can use dominion up to improbable changes.  Well no a raksha can't make any changes in creation, but can make impossible changes freely in the wyld.  Sorry about that.

Are you going to attempt to maintain the power teirs in Exalted or leaving that up to individual groups/GMs?

Kevin already did the power tiers.  Terrestrials are stuck on lesser gifts, can only use miracles from one word, and can only do improbable changes.  Even at level 6 they can only get one gift from their one word that allows miracles.  That is fairly weak to me.

We should, but you got the name for it so why not let you have the honor to open it.

What's the general difference between an Impossible and an Improbable change?
