comments

• I'd need to look in the PG again, but I thought that Half-Castes couldn't Exalt as anything other than their specific exalt-type... and can Lunar half-castes learn Shapeshifting Charms? Sorry to be picky, but I read this and started wondering... - szilard

• • According to Neph's comments on the WW Forums, Lunar half-castes cannot learn Shapeshifting charms, and I'm pretty sure half-castes can't Exalt other than their Exalt type. However, I disregard Neph's comments on the WW forum, because post-Abyssals his rulings have been steadily and steadily more restricting (you can see even more of it in the new SnS); he's moving in directly *opposite* the direction which Exalted started in; "Everything is permissable if it's cool and doesn't F up the game." So, I do believe you're correct, according to canon. However, in this instance, I disregard canon, because I believe the ruling to be idiotic.

• • • Well, I hardly think it is idiotic, but it is your prerogative to ignore rules if doing so makes it more fun for you. - szilard

• • • • Yes, I was just coming back now to change my prior post. I was too harsh, and I did not mean to be quite that insulting. It's not idiotic so much as, IMO, completely against the themes we've seen in Exalted since day one. - Miedvied

• Gunnar is an old swedish name. To me it sounds utterly silly applied to an exalted character, especially in the configuraiton "Youthful Gunnar". It's like naming your character to "Youthful Henry" or something. It makes me all giggly. Resplendence

• • I picked all of the names out of old Norse myths, more or less. Hugis and Mina are obviously Hugin and Munin, and Gunnar is Gunnar. I wanted a more Viking-y taste to the Kruzky; thus the reason the ruling family is all half-caste Lunars (because what's a berserker that can't turn into a bear? C'mon.) - Miedvied
