Anathema: We've started!

Aaaaand now I'm tempted to make a doomsday weapon to prevent anyone from trying to take over the world.

*shrug*

I'm just looking at this like Red Cape would. But yeah, that's basically what he would want to do, Wyvern.

I can think of six currently in existence. Not that an Exalt who didn't know about most of them (as most don't) wouldn't build another one. Maybe I should give you a compass to the Five-Metal Shrike...

Arch: That's fine. I'm just trying to give you some OOC ideas.

So, I'm looking at a 7 Lore and Occult minimum for this motivation? I see, I see. Might have to make things that make me better at those, first.

Naw, making your own is more fun.

I can has free notepad and pencil when game starts, you know, so I can do theoreticals in the field.

I understand. And I hate shooting down these lovely ideas. I can name characters for whom they would fit perfectly... They just aren't Red Cape.

There are charms that will reduce the minimums, particularly for artifacts made mostly of moonsilver. I'd also count a 3-dot Int(Lore or Occult) specialty as a dot when considering the minimums. I'd have to look at the crafting rules again, but at least you wouldn't take penalties if you maxed those specialties.


So to be clear, your choice is...

Alright, so I'll max those two. Get crafting up as well, and see what I can make from there. Might be a good idea to start from scratch, and just make a few level one's, that do... something.

If you want, I might find a way to introduce Craft(Genesis). That's always fun. I had plans in the works to make exploding lemons, but didn't quite get around to them. Instead, I did a small project and revolutionized agriculture forever.

If you want to take esoteric crafts, I might make those a specialty of some sort, as in Magitech will require at least a one-dot specialty, as would Genesis.

Genesis would be life, right? I could try that. That or magitech. Magitech is always nice.

Yeah, it's sort of genetic engineering, almost. Only more fun.

Either/or. Just so long as I have some idea before you start embarking on it, so I can have an idea of how your character should come across it. Genesis is largely lost to the ages, so you really have to know where to look to find it. Or have it find you...

Even - Genesis
Odd - Magitech.

Would I be able to use undrowned losses as components, potentially? Those seem like an exotic material I might be capable of finding...

The member 'Mr_ji' has done the following action : Dices roll

'One' : 2

Depending what for, probably. Exalted is all about thematics. Also Exalt blood, although that might permanently tie your creation to you. Godly benefaction might be possible, since you have occult connections.

True. Though, I thought I couldn't use my own blood in my artifacts, merely other peoples in things I'm making for them. But gods... yes, if I could convince a god or two.

All I want is world peace! Through words!

That would be hard enough that I would let you take that as a motivation - and I'll even add a caveat that you wouldn't have to achieve outside-of-world peace (aka with the Fair Folk, Yozis/Infernals, and the Underworld). Although the chances that you'd actually succeed are pretty low, it's definitely worth a shot.

Well, he was only trying for peace among the sane creatures of the land.

Peace... what if it's peace achieved the fun way? Remember, corpses are remarkably non-violent.

zombies... rawrr...

That's still a lower violence to nonviolence ratio than people have while they're alive.

He wants peace through living people. A world full of dead people is a gloomy one indeed.

He already lives next to a world of dead people.

The smell up the whole place.

That's why you pile them into my super duper giant furnace of chuckles. Once I get around to making it, and decide what it actually does... and get the materials... and pass 250 successes...

That is one big cremation ceremony.
