omfg Neochu DIE IN A FIRE

ahem.

Spent most of today building a circle of Wyld Hunt Dragon-Blooded to kill my players with for my players to play with on Monday, and realized only when I was done that the fucking absurd DB artifact rules are in fact fucking absurd, and that my DB's have only half as much Artifact as they have paid for. What. The

I usually load out my NPC DBs with all the Artifact and Breeding they can eat. Reaver Klaives and Superheavy Plate for all, and the motes to attune them. They still fold like wet cardboard to a Celestial assault (Mental, Social, Physical, whatever, they fold).

Well, one of them can't take Superheavy Plate (Water-Aspect Immaculate), and I built them purely as starting characters. (Most of them don't even have Essence 3.) This is because they are playing with starting Solars, some of whom are not 100% up on the system.

Most of them have ridiculous Breeding, too. Except the Water Aspect. I ended up giving her a bunch of Connections/Backing: Immaculates.

Man, fucking Neochu. It felt great when Death spam finally killed it and Vanille's eidolon killed the little pukes that came with it.

....Death Spam. Why did I forget about Death spam. (that's how I killed the Neochu in Titan's Trials; right now I'm playing with the one in Aggra's Pasture.)

Unfortunately, after finally killing it and getting the Growth Egg, I just didn't want to play the game anymore.

Grindtastic achievements are incredibly grindtastic.

Sigh. Yes. Honestly up until now I have not been feeling the grind particularly, so I'm wondering if I will feel better once I have the Growth Egg. If not, I'll move on. But I already feel the grind less than I did in, say, XII, which I was far more stubborn about.
