Exalted randomness

[lassarina]

So, I didn't update with regards to game 1 quotes or anything since then.  So we'll start with the quotes from Game 1:

"You're Vampire Hunter D!"--Jeremy, to herod_the_nut"I shove him my empty mug that I just finished drowning."--Melzer

At some point, you'll have to walk me through an example of this Exalted of which you speak.

Perhaps when I come home this summer? Easier to talk than type.

[persona]

True. Though I did read through the quickstart rules already.

You folks are having too much fun. I miss my busy gamer days.

[lassarina]

We're a group of good friends doing something we enjoy :D

[herod_the_nut]

Yeah, the Wyld-Lion didn't last long, but then, it was up against 6 Solars. Not much lasts too long alone against 6 Solars.

[lassarina]

Initially I thought I had overpowered it. I forgot the whole "six Solars, most of whom are at relatively combat-capable" (Unlike our last Exalted game....)

[herod_the_nut]

Yeah, Jeremy's combat-whore, Melzer's I-punch-at-range Zenith, Sam wielding dual glass swords, Emily's sorcerer with a powerbow and a Solar bodyguard, and my craftsman with a double-barreled firewand. We're quite the combat-capable bunch. Or we were until Jeremy's first character got gacked. Now we're a little less absurd.

The lion probably would've been fine if you upped the rate and speed of its attacks. The problem comes in when you've got six characters attacking it between each of its attacks. It's dodge DV and soak aren't quite good enough to be able to stand up to everything that's being thrown at it between attacks. There's a reason the Wyld Hunt works so well: group tactics rock.

[lassarina]

Yeah, I realized that after the fight. Separately it would've made a meal out of most of you; together you gacked it but good.
