He can't actually do any magic, he just knows a lot of adventurers and acts as a kind of quest matchmaker, where he finds people who need help, finds them someone to help them, then tells them they owe him a favor so he can call on them to help someone else later.

Firstborn posted:The hell is Creation-Slaying Oblivion Kick? Google just has hushed mentions without explanation. A theoretical combination of Charms in Exalted 2e that allowed you to deal arbitrary amounts of damage to anyone you could see simultaneously, extended your sight out to any point not blocked by physical objects, and was then performed from on top of the tallest mountain in the world at the center of Creation, therefore allowing you to see (and kill) 99% of the world.

Glagha posted:Climbing the tallest mountain in creation and kicking someone to death from miles away is 100% on theme for Exalted. Kicking everyone to death, simultaneously, unless they had a perfect defense. And everything, because objects are viable targets. The CSOK solution to buildings was 'my kck targets those, too' and they collapse. As does the ground.

The 2e errata solution was, iirc, to declare that Creation has a draw distance.

Terrible Opinions posted:I really like the idea of the Scorpion Clan, but hate how they're written. Good news, 5e has refocused the writing on them a lot. Bayushi Shoju, in the new timeline, has actually threatened to personally murder any Scorpion whose ambitions endanger the status quo and has actively worked to prevent his own clan from becoming more powerful than it already is. Then he got named imperial regent for the next emperor, Daisetsu.

Brofessor Slayton posted:It's entirely within the purview of this thread for you to give an impassioned and heartfelt speech to your DM about recognising the personhood of golems, then immediately disintegrate one. Personhood and living status aren't related. A ghost is a person, but isn't alive.

None of that actually precludes personhood! Or being alive, yes. They're immune to a bunch of stuff that theoretically is the result of not being alive, but it is not explicitly stated that they aren't alive.

Incidentally, this means that a golem cannot gently caress. Even if you make a gently caress golem, it can't gently caress, because it has no Con score, and therefore it automatically fails all Con-based skills without effect. E: the undead also cannot gently caress Mors Rattus fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Dec 11, 2018 |

Flavivirus posted:Ooh, what book has the extra spell mastery options? That particular one is from Houses of Hermes: True Lineages and is a Mercere-associated trick. There are a few caveats, tho. First, this spell is not actually as easy to cast as it sounds - it can't get rid of metal or veins of metal, and it can't harm wood, or indeed any material not made of earth or water. You will need separate requisites for those. Second, it'd also fail to cast, because God can in fact will any magic to not work, and presumably God wants the Earth to exist. e: Also I believe this is a misunderstanding of Range - the magnitude chart ends at Boundary. Adding additional groups is not actually increasing Range - it is a side factor. This only works if you interpret "magnitude" to mean mathematical magnitude, rather than spell magnitude as Ars uses it. Mors Rattus fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jul 22, 2019 |

Haystack posted:What's getting boosted is Target, not range. It's not explicitly spelled out anywhere, but it's commonly houseruled that increasing the size of the target Individual/Group/Room/Whatever is a standard part of hermetic magic and part of the Target modifiers. Target, right. Words are hard. Common house rule, but not one I subscribe to mostly because I prefer keeping some of the few limits magi have to deal with when it comes to spell design. And yes, there's actual historic precedent in Ars for just hollowing out mountains to mine.

Jerik posted:It's not just 6th Ed.; The Zohar is still listed as causing Sanity damage in the 7E rulebook, though the amount has been changed to 1/1D3+1. Nor is it the only real book that causes Sanity loss; there's also Frazier's The Golden Bough—which, as it happens, I've read, so welp, guess I lost some Sanity. To be fair, the Golden Bough is so infuriatingly wrong and bad that I might buy that.
