    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Sounds neat. If you build a crafting tree off this, you could use this to provide exotic ingredients and allow for crazy things, at the cost of not being able to use non-chaotic ingredients.

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    You might get more interest, but I doubt you'll get serious investment. A solid charmset isn't something that a group of people can just throw together and frankly, we've only seen a couple of charms put forth after a number of days and nothing firmly decided on. You gotta decide if you want to...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Could have the Infernal step into the Beyond, or warp the attack into the Beyond, as a perfect dodge.

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    So let's look at what those first two charms are saying. The very first, most basic level of Oramus says "madness is obvious to me, I can manipulate the mad, it is difficult to relate to others." The next charm is saying "I can detect the secret desires of a person and satisfy their curiosity...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    What does this mean, mechanically? Is it just a fancy way of saying the attack is nullified?

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Lemme take a crack at it: Totally cool charm name Cost: 5; Mins: Essence 2 / Essence 3 / Essence 5; Type: Permanent Keywords: None Duration: Indefinite Prerequisite Charms: Some other cool charm Blah blah flavor text / The Infernal is perfectly immune against any Shaping effects from the...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    I wouldn't just cut+paste Solar charms for this set. It's kinda lazy. Perhaps instead of a "simple" Shaping defense, the presence of Oramus/the infernal changes all Shaping going on to something of his choice? Make it a committed cost for an ongoing effect to change all Wyld-space to something...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Well, the charm is specific about Derangements, and the Great Curse isn't technically a Derangement. So it might even be an interesting plot point for an Infernal to examine a Solar who is clearly insane, but he reads as perfectly normal. "Clearly he's activated some kind of defense against...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Master of Madness Cost: 0m (3m). Mins: Essence 2; Type: Permanent Keywords: None Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: None Oramus is the quintessential psychotic, a being of madness from before the divide between lucidity and lunacy ever existed. None understand the rigors of the mind more...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Something I like to focus on with Oramus is impossibility. It's his strongest theme, being beyond the world, not being part of it, achieving the impossible easily. This is a rough idea, but many Yozis have a "gateway" charm that gives you access to really neat effects at the cost of a penalty...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    SPLIT-MIND SPAWNING Cost: 5 motes, 1 willpower; Mins: Essence 4; Type: Permanent Keywords: Sorcerous Duration: Instant Prerequisite charms: ??? When Oramus created Luna, he spurned the methods of his shadow, seeing the impossible weaknesses concealed by Sol's perfection. Instead, he reached...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    The themes from BB that Oramus matches with can be found in any cosmic horror medium. The more unique themes of childlessness, surrogacy and power through blood don't really match him. I suppose you could get some kind of "child-making" charm out of how Oramus made Luna, by taking a bunch of...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    That's too oppressive of a handicap. One or two charms being a Blasphemy could become a useful strategic tool to fool the enemy, though.

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Oramus' themes definitely encompass boundaries. You could have effects like lowering/raising target numbers, extra attacks, adding or removing environmental effects, etc. The trouble is in making it a balanced charm.

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    Typos aside, I like it. However, I'd suggest adding a commitment cost or an upgrade purchase to defend perfectly against all shaping originating from Raksha, because an always-on perfect against actual characters (even if they're just raksha) is pretty potent for E2. Theion has a similar charm...

    Oramus Charmset Project (DEAD)

    I'd like to throw in my two cents: A usable Oramus charmset already exists, as many of us know. So when constructing this one, I'd recommend going in a drastically different route, otherwise it'll be so similar that you should just make these expansion charms to that set. The existing set is a...
