[Exalted] Show me how to twink out a Lunar.

I'm told that it's entirely possible to design a combat-specialised Lunar
who will kick any equivalently experienced Solar's ass in a stand-up fight,
but I'm not seeing it. I know that ass-kicking is supposed to be the
Lunars' "thing", but no matter what I come up with, there always seems to be
a Solar build that trumps it (a *zero-XP* Solar build, in most cases). I
freely grant, however, that this may be due to my lack of familiarity with
Lunars; unlike Solars or Sidereals and their neatly-organised Ability-linked
Charm paths, Lunar Charms are all over the place - from what I can see, the
best syngergies for Lunars often come from entirely unrelated chains, while
many of the "standard" syngergies that work for Solars and Sidereals are
explicitly forbidden for Lunars.

Can anyone help me to be a better munchkin? 😉

(Oh, and no Martial Arts - I realise that a Lunar can just pick up a
Celestial MA form to fill in the gaps in his combat abilities, and that many
MA charms from the "animal" styles function a whole lot like upgraded Lunar
charms with more expensive buy-ins anyway, but that's not the point.)

Um... doesn't Lunar hardness max out at twelve, too?

(Other than that, it looks good, but that uberhardness you're counting on
could be a sticking point...)

I've heard the interpretation that once a Lunar maxes out his hardness,
increases in hardness would alternate between increasing hardness and
soak. I have /never/ heard the interpretation that a Lunar can push his
hardness /above/ his soak, until James wrote a long post about it.

*shrugs* My reading is that Lunars just plain can't benefit from more than
24 points of soak - twelve go to natural soak, twelve to hardness, and
anything more is wasted. It strikes me as odd that Lunars actually have a
*lower* cap on defensive mojo than other Exalts despite having far superior
soak-boosting Charms, but there you have it.

... and proceeded to post an excellent how-to manual on how to beat ass
with a Lunar. Take a bow, James. You done good.

However, I must take a moment to complain that while Lunars are /death/
in clinches, they are not so hot in non-clinching Brawl or Melee--
especially given that they pay more for Charms than any other Celestial.
I would still like to see this remedied; Lunars should have more combat
options than "grab you and hug you to death."

Depends whether or not you think that Lunars were meant to be at the
Solars' sides in *all* combat, or just supposed to go out and push
around the mortals and occasional terrestrial.

'Cause they *can* push around mortals and the occasional terrestrial.
I'm fairly confident I can make a DB-breaking Lunar. ... Of course, then
again, I can make a DB-breaking *mortal*, so that's not saying much...

Either way, it *does* quite explicitly say they're supposed to be
bigger and badder than the Sidereals in a fight - yet how easy is it
to build a Lunar-stomping Sidereal? Not very tough, in my experience;
Sidereals have a never-fail parry as a buy-in Charm (with no Willpower
cost, no less) which renders all of the Lunars' nifty
dice-pool-tweaking charms irrelevant (sure, it's not a "perfect"
defense, but Lunars have no unblockable/never-miss attacks), vastly
more favorable multiple-attack Charms, and a Chosen of Endings armed
with starmetal is going to rip through 12 hardness like it was
nothing. And that's just a starting character. Throw in any
advancement at all, and the fact that Sidereals have cheaper Charms
and increase Essence at the same rate as Solars means more tactical
options and a bigger Essence pool than any equivalent Lunar as well.

(Let's not even talk about Sidereal Martial Arts, eh?)

Agreed. Further, by contrivance of the setting, there's no reasonable way
any Solar can learn Sidereal level Martial Arts, much less a Lunar.

Nuh uh, not in my game. In my setting, the Sidereals, Solars and Lunars
jointly developed the advanced Martial Arts styles, and young Lunars have
their own 1st Age Elders to go on pilgrimage to for these earth shaking
secrets.

But then, my Exalted setting is hardly canonical, anyway.

I'm not sure how comfortable I am with giving Lunars the same XP as Solars.
The ability to rapidly progress is a Solar strength.

I am actually pretty okay with that. Sidereal Martial Arts are an ace
in the hole for the Chosen of the Maidens; why would they give away such
a powerful advantage? And, of course, should you decide that you want to
introduce Sidereal Martial Arts to your Solars or Abyssals game, there
are a variety of story ways to do so, ranging from "a Gold Faction elder
wants to use you as a tool against the Bronze Faction" to "grab a
Sidereal and use magic to make him teach you."

There is a big difference between "nobody will teach you this" and "you
are inherently incapable of learning this."

I do not suggest that Lunars pay the SAME XP costs as Solars, but the
current prices do seem rather high.

This would not even be so bad, except that they have *so* many
*redundant* charms, as well as such *massive* cascades.

I mean, to make a Lunar that can whomp on some *mooks* ---and--- still
have some tracking and survival ability is *beyond* the scope of a
starting character sheet.

Why? Those are supposed to be the specific niches that all lunars are
supposed to be able to fit into, before anything else is taken care of.
I can make a mook-killing uber-survivor Solar and still have a handful
of charm slots left over. Ditto goes for the Sidereals.

You know, even Alchemicals kick lunars' asses.

Lunars get their big XP break on 3 stats; and with the way lunars get
their big stat spread, that's - at best - 3 dots that you're buying.
Even so far back as ToT, the designers realized that giving you an XP
break on only 3 stats was bullshit, and gave Alchemicals like ... what
was it... 6 stats to favor?

I *will* sit down and fix Lunars one day, charm by charm, rule by rule.

I have drugs and free time. You know it'll happen.

Just not today. 'Cause I have home-schooling today.

And even so, I wrote up 5 CS's today - a twinked out circle of Abyssals,
with which to conquer Creation. (Specifically twinked out to conquer
Creation.)

Where did you get this info on Alchemicals? I want it?...lol Must be able
to make cool war golem guys!!!...need....tooo.....great!!!

Still gotta say I love Lunars and don't find them under powered, but then
again I haven't spent ANY time trying to strickly run numbers on their
stats, charms,...etc. Didn't one of the books state that Sidereal exalted
always have been and always will be the LEAST numerous of the celestial
exalted, wich to me means that less of them have to do the same as more of
others. This to me leads to, you must be able to squeeze more power out of
individual sidereal than say, and individual Lunar. Plus, a ton of their
power is very inderect from my skimming of the book. Anyways, since it
seems the vast majority hate the Lunars either because they seem too limited
in concept (not true at all IMO) or they aren't filled to the brim with
cheap charmy goodness (to me not a problem, though perhaps this trend is why
the Dragon blooded are so damn popular, their cheap bastards..lol); I'll not
argue this anymore. Solars Rule, Lunars Rule, hell...I hate the Dragon
Blooded, but even they are really cool...though primarily as antagonists in
my games. Abyssals rule too....but in a very dark and evil way. Some day
I'll gather together my varrious gaming buddies and tell them to make some
Abyssals cause its to to rape and pillage creation, and we'll just go on an
innoccent killing sprea..lol.

Not to mention stuff like "THIS unarmed combat Charm gives you extra attacks
at three motes per, but it also costs Willpower, you're limited to your
initiative divided by three rounded down worth of extra attacks, and you
can't make more EXTRA attacks than your Essence; meanwhile, meanwhile, THIS

One of the first rules of directing: when you're on the set, refrain from
using (as in, don't ever use) negative language. Not that you can't be
negative about things, but don't use words like "Never" and "Don't". You're
there to create a positive environment for the cast and crew. You're there
to encourage. I feel that the storytelling aspect of RPGs has the same
burden.

Storytellers, or people who help give tools to the storyteller, have an
INCREDIBLE responsibility. Which, sadly, more often than not leaves me with
the "So you just want to write for first edition DnD then, don't you?" taste
in my mouth from some people.

In general terms, I agree with you on that discussion. Neph is a good
writer, but there's no need to close any barn doors.

Neph's not the only writer whose instincts go that way, though. It's a
standard way to write RPGs, and so quite a few do that. Some do it more
than others, and Neph is *mostly* okay. He could have, with the Abyssal
die-adder and die-subtracter for Melee, made one a turn-length charm to
explicitly prevent combos. Instead of doubling the cost for comboing
them.

For example.

Which discussion is this?

I can't keep up with the White Wolf forums. They're just so ...
inconveniently designed. I usually wait for the handy stuff to end up on
ThusSpakeNephilpal, but arguments with Stephen don't usually make it
there, though they're better than the rest of the tripe that ends up on
the forums.

I was reading the rules for Half-Castes, which Neph wrote, and noticed
that the ruling on mixed-breeds is "No you can't do that." Then
somebody asked if Deathlords could sire ghost-blooded children, and Neph
posted a message that basically amounted to "No you can't do that."

This lead me to become concerned, so I posted about it. The actual
argument with Neph wasn't an argument as such, as he was offline for the
two days the thread lasted before it hit 75 posts.

Basically, what came out of it is that I'm not a big Neph fan anymore.
When he did reply, he made it fairly plain that he plans to continue
putting "No you can't do that" rulings in the material he writes, which
has me unhappy, since he's working on both Fair Folk and Alchemicals,
but ultimately my opinion is not as important as Geoff's.

I don't like most webforums either. I am spoiled by usenet; I want
threading and an easy way to distinguish viewed posts from new posts.

There's also no real need for "no, you can't do that" rulings in
Exalted, as it's supposed to be unabashedly power-gaming in mechanical
terms.
