Nilus Horse-Friend

mmkay, so the DotFA rules for elder exalt chargen aren't good. I might try again with:

I use the following template for creating high Essence characters.

Each dot of Essence includes: 1 Free Attribute Dot (2 if you are a splat that favors Attributes, but one has to be in a Favored Attribute) 3 Free Ability dots (5 if you Favor Abilities, but two have to be in Favored Abilities) 3 free background dots (BG over 3 cost 1 per 1) X Free Charms (where X is the number of starting Charms the splat gets, so Solars get 10 Charms five of which must be favored, Alchemicals would get 4 General and 4 Dedicated Charm Slots with one charm to fill each and so on) 15 Bonus Points

You create the character in stages. So if you want to make an Essence 6+ alchemical you build a starting character, then add the above template 4 times. (Aaron Peory's house rule)

(Just some fun playing with the Dreams of the First Age ruleset)

Will not Use DotFA charms. They suck too much. Will consider High Essence charms from wikizens.

• All Archery = 17 (including 1st + 2nd Excellency) Highest Ess 4
• All Dodge = = 8 (1st Excellency only) highest Ess 4
• All Occult = 12 (no Necromancy, 2nd Excellency only, no charms from exah until I work out what tat is)

• MA Styles:
  • Solar hero = 9 (no excel, no expansion)
  • Lunar hero = 9 (no expansion)
  • maybe Ebon Shadow (11)? Maybe SMA?

• Melee - a reasonable amount (21 (including 1st Excell)
• Integrity - enough to resist Demons (hm, 14 total?)
• Resistance - Enough to survive just about anywhere - including Malfeas. 14 + 7 Ox-Bodies (2nd excel)
• Survival = 15 (1st Excel)
• Stealth = 7 (2nd excel)
• Larceny = 8 (1st)
• Investigation = 8 (2nd)
• Lore = 11 (1st + 2nd)
• Awareness = 11 (1st)
• Athletics = 15 (1st)

hm. 197 so far. May have to reduce. :)
