Using the Pole as a stuff on Crescent Rose sounds really really dumb. That Blade is fucking Huge. She'd be better off attempting to use it as an axe. And can you link these gorram styles?

He speaks truth. Having a big-ass scythe and not using the blade seems rather pointless, like having a gun and only pistol-whipping people with it. Sure, it's less lethal, but it kinda misses the whole point of having a gun.

Also? I think it would be more thematically interesting to teach each of them a separate style.

agreed.

You won't be saying that when Ruby is bleeding out on the pavement because we taught her shitty charms.

You have Google, look for them yourself. And look at how Ruby actually uses Crescent Rose in her fight scenes; half the time she's using the recoil from her cannon shots to enhance her swings. That fighting style doesn't become non-viable just because she turns the pole in a different direction.

enhancing your swings really only helps if you keep striking with the weighted end.

a folding the blade down and using it as a culb would be better, but not by much.

frankly, no Exalted style really suits her, because her sycthe has a fucking gun in it.

she already has her own fighting style, all this choice really going to change is her charms, not the actual method she uses to fight (i should hope)

I was with you till the "teach the scythe user charms that only use half of her weapon" part.

as for "shitty charms" just because IP is apparantly broken as fuck, doesn't mean that Titan Felling is bad, right?

on another noteL if we awaken her essance, could we teach her shooting/achery charms? Yang too, for that matter.

 

[BFldyq]

Guys, your forgetting something: for a mortal to a TMA, their teacher must know the style. So if we want to teach them, we'll have to learn the style as well.

So I propose we get MA up to 5, get Swallowing the Lotus Root and Humbling Enlightenment Commentary, and then create custom TMA for the girls, each one designed around their particular strengths.

that's a damn good point, actually.

we can't seriously expect to learn three other styles in a reasonable amount of time, right?

Terrestrial Charms are pretty shitty by default save for those with some special utility like Lighting Hoof and Golden Exhalation. They're balanced for mortal users, which characters at our level cleave through like a blowtorch through butter. IP is considered broken because it's a terrestrial style that hits like a CMA.

Come to think of it, maybe we should just skip the TMAs for Ruby and Yang and focus on putting them through training from hell to unlock their Balance Breakers. They need a much bigger force multiplier than the available charms can give them right now.

I don't know of any archery or firearms charms that a mortal can possess. Golden Exhalation might work for Yang but that's for firewands, not cannon-fists.

As they are now they can't even start learning the Charms. The objective is to ease them into a style that compliment their skills, to provide real, tested training. The most important thing is teaching them Essence, so they can start Stunting like Heroic Mortals.

Also, don't worry: Bright devised a cheating method to teach styles Issei don't know 8)

eh, frankly, i never wanted them to have exaltated powers in the first place.

teach them DxD style magic, or just train them to be better at fighting.

theres no reason to expect that ruby will ever need more raw power. she has DEATH'S scythe. i'm pretty sure it can cut anything.

[X] both Ruby and Yang already have their own combat styles, teach them to use essence for basic body enhancement or something, they improve their own Freeform techniqces via sparring and battle experience.

Why are you people trying to stick a Fragile Speedster like Ruby with a style suited for a Mighty Glacier ? Are you for real ? I barely know anything about Exalted and even I can see how much of stupid idea this is. If anything, Miltett should be the Mighty Glacier seeing as she is 1/4th Oni.

EDIT : Dammit, I can't keep track of this bullshit. This is really the biggest problem when playing Exalted based Quests.

You're going to have to redo the vote.

Smuthunter went and changed his plan without demanding everyone reevaluate.

For example. He wants Ruby to leanr Iron Pestle when Deathwings doesn't and just voted Smuthunter.

Further linking the copy of the damn style you want to use so that you can be sure everyone can review is only polite and fair. I can't find Ivory Pestle for example.

How important is the choice for TMA in this quest ?

I get that most , if not all styles of TMA are horrible compared to Celestial and Sidereal Martial Arts , but it's not like we are ever going to face other Exalts as opponents. So the only competition we have is from the martial arts of this world , which I think any TMA style outstrips by a wide margin .

If we just make sure that the style we chose works with their Sacred Gears rather than hindering them , I think we should do fine . Ruby and Yang already have gotten Sacred Gears which are quite high tier . Combining them with the style they are going to learn , they should be able to take down most of the coming opponents without too much difficulty . Mitelt can combine what she learns with powers from her Oni and Fallen Angel heritage .

Of course , one may argue that the bosses we are going to face will be able to take them down , but that's what Issei is here for .

Presumably because you haven't looked for it. I Googled it and found it in about two seconds. Search for "Exalted Ivory Pestle" without the quotes and it's like the second or third link from the top. I'm only going to do so much hand-holding.

Actually, if we're only training the girls in the principles of a martial art and not getting into the charms then do we even need to limit ourselves to TMAs in the first place? We could just jump straight into Fist of the Daystar and White Reaper. The forms and motions should be perfectly learnable even if the supernatural stuff is out of bounds for the time being.

Deathwings and Gnarker aren't voting for the latest plan smuthunter.

Smuthunter Changed his vote without getting on them to change it officially.


The logic in Deathwings is against Ivory Pestle.

Sure. However, it would be a poor imitation (since they can't learn the Charms) and they will need to wait until Issei find the way for them to learn Celestial stuff.

Look people, you aren't taking a final decision. This will require time, and so changing idea is perfectly viable. Take it easy.

Since, you know, to even start all of this Issei will need to learn two new Charms.

The same goes for TMAs. They don't have enlightened essence so they can't learn any charms from those styles either, not until we unlock their essence for them.

At this point, the only thing we're really capable of doing is raising their mundane skills. With that in mind, we should be shooting for helping the girls unlock their respective Balance Breakers, which will almost certainly be much more powerful than anything we can teach them at their current levels. In the meantime we research ways to unlock CMAs for them and then give them styles that are actually worth spending EXP on instead of settling for shitty mortal-tier charms. Does this sound workable?
