The most basic power of the Exalted is the Excellency. Spend essence, get dice.Requiem_Jeer
Since I'm not really familiar with Exalted mechanics could you explain why these powers would be so "extra" powerful given she already as a bunch of powers available ?
Also Taylor really as come a long way to the whole superior exalted mentality huh. She truly is becoming completely desensitized to the mayhem and death of cape life. RIP Leet & Uber. They didn't even got an onscreen send off. And poor taylor couldn't get their powers either.
Dice adders are the exalted bread and butter. It is the core basic do stuff better then any mortal can. Absolutely mortal max is 13 dice on any roll, that a level of skill their is maybe 1-5 people for any given skill can achieve worldwide in modern population numbers. Fewer then that will actually achieve that level thou, example that is skill of having mastered, say every single musical instruments in the world. An exalted that is normally just competent in a skill say a doctor that has finished their training after university. Can easily roll more dice then that with dice adder charms.Requiem_Jeer

Technically, chat o vision only confirms that Taylor thinks they're dead. I mean, let's be real, they're fucking dead, but there's a chance.@Alathon
Chat-o-Vision confirmed it, fastest Bakuda+U&L arc ever.
(Surprised Boomboom told them to run)
That's Taylor. They even call her "Midna", the character she was larping as.Dunno why people think U&L died when leet is in the chat at the end
Did the rest of Bakuda's bombs also go off due to a dead man's switch?
Or they just tank the value of amethyst to nothing. It's functionally an infinite resource until the bomb turns off, and then a massive stockpile from then onwardsWell, Brockton Bay just became the world's foremost supplier of amethyst, so that should help stimulate the economy somewhat...
All right, at this point I have a question for anyone who knows Exalted.... why is Rune's power taking so long to learn? Judging by how one of the most dangerous charms is the one from Uber and is super-easy, just what exactly is Taylor trying to learn from Rune?the likes of Rune and Ballistic and their super-complicated powers.
One could press panels of the eldritch sand leaking into Brocton and place them in the amethyst filed and get cheap purple windows. That got to be worth something. Maybe cheap greenhouses?Or they just tank the value of amethyst to nothing. It's functionally an infinite resource until the bomb turns off, and then a massive stockpile from then onwards
Just snort that stuff. I mean, come on - it's eldritch sand and people murdered by tinkertech, it's obvious. Gotta think like a local to make a successful business out of it.One could press panels of the eldritch sand leaking into Brocton and place them in the amethyst filed and get cheap purple windows.

Well, yeah, that goes without saying. What's good for the Bay isn't necessarily good for the rest of the world.Or they just tank the value of amethyst to nothing. It's functionally an infinite resource until the bomb turns off, and then a massive stockpile from then onwards
It just confirms that Taylor ain't getting her hands on the excellency (or happiness), and what kind of war crime bomb it is. Like I said, real talk is they're super fuckin dead, but there's a chance, maybe they teleport out before it goes off and, after such a close brush with death, fuck off to Spokane or something in the middle of the night. This would both prevent Taylor from getting Uber's power and, depending on the circumstances of the hypothetical emergency teleport device, render them incapacitated or otherwise unable to communicate with their stream for long enough for Taylor to return the the lair and abuse chat moderator privileges.Mentos They're dead Jim (The Mechanics one also confirmed it.)
Excellencies start at Essence 1. I think Rune is Unseen Force Application, which is Essence 3 minimum, maybe Taylor's power is ignoring prerequisites but takes longer to do so?All right, at this point I have a question for anyone who knows Exalted.... why is Rune's power taking so long to learn? Judging by how one of the most dangerous charms is the one from Uber and is super-easy, just what exactly is Taylor trying to learn from Rune?
Also, can we get an update on it's completion level, Daniel Snuts ? So we know how much longer before Taylor has to consider pulling out of the Empire.
Or the author just wants Taylor to continue to interact with the Nazis and Rune in particular.Excellencies start at Essence 1. I think Rune is Unseen Force Application, which is Essence 3 minimum, maybe Taylor's power is ignoring prerequisites but takes longer to do so?
No, the author did say that rune provided a charm with really high prerequisites. The absolute maximum training time, assuming that he's going to forgo elder b*******, is 10 days. That's for a ability/attribute 5 essence 5 charm. A one-day training time requires that it be either in essence 1 Yozi charm, or be something from dragon kings or something else that only requires essence. Solar charms would have a minimum of two days. I'm betting it's a sidereal capstone of some kind.Excellencies start at Essence 1.

I believe you are referring to the dice adders, and the reason for that is the fact that any action they are applicable for can have dice (potential ability) added or outright successes added (would need a Second Excellency for that though). Since OP said it was a Yozi Excellency, the Dice Cap for added dice is equal to the base ability+attribute used. Abilities for human capability caps off at 5. 5 is the Da Vinci, Newton, Einstein, Sagan level genius ability. You combine this with the relevant attribute (strength, dexterity, intelligence, etc.) to determine the number of dice, thus human maximum is 10 or up to 13 with specialty dice added (e.g. a doctor who specializes in heart surgery [or just surgery in general] could have 13 dice while performing heart surgery if he was at human pinnacle, but he would be 10 dice for other medical actions). 1st Yozi Excellency means that Taylor can double the dice pool she has, if she has enough motes to spend...which I believe she has effectively infinite motes, so that isn't the limiting factor.Since I'm not really familiar with Exalted mechanics could you explain why these powers would be so "extra" powerful given she already as a bunch of powers available ?
Thanks for clarifying. She said 'supernatural' stamina, which means 6+ in Exalted mechanics, thus my confusion.No, there is no expiration date there either. They need to have expressed discontent where the exalt could hear ever - in this case, long before she even got the charm. And no, she only gave him one dot. She's using "Brute 0" here in the sense of "technically magical but not worth mentioning", not "peak human+"

Well, yeah, that goes without saying. What's good for the Bay isn't necessarily good for the rest of the world.
Now someone just needs to figure out how to drop the S9 in the effect before it wears off.
Because she is Heroic, 10s count as two successes, so it would conceivably be possible for her to outtinker Dragon for example, with only Earth based science/engineering knowledge (unlikely, but if the stars aligned and she rolled 23 tens, it would be 46 successes, which would likely be outperforming Dragon)

The Villain died off screen, surely they wont come back?Technically, chat o vision only confirms that Taylor thinks they're dead. I mean, let's be real, they're fucking dead, but there's a chance.
That wording is sus, this is a plant. I don't know why it would be a plant tho. Coil? E88 having some connections they use to have black people toss themselves at new capes to blood/condition then?It's not going to help the actual hate criminal here and now, though. Fenrir obediently drops him in front of you and holds him in place with a foot. "Do as you would be done by," you say as you draw the knife from your forearm.
"Vengeance threefold," his victim suggests from behind you, surprising you. But okay. You can work with that too.
To create hate incidents to both gauge the new cape's powers and justify being harsh on them once he takes over the PRT. Though the wording is extremely sus but that might just be cause I never heard the saying before. Is it a more extreme version of ''an eye for an eye''?That wording is sus, this is a plant. I don't know why it would be a plant tho. Coil? E88 having some connections they use to have black people toss themselves at new capes to blood/condition then?
It could have been a bot.Dunno why people think U&L died when leet is in the chat at the end

It was Low key / Midna.
Rereading that part just made it obvious. Derp
