Or one inch punch? Reduced cost? Increased duration?
Or Omnidex? Remove more penalties?
There's really nothing other than Stat or Fluff relics I'm interested in putting those bonus points into. (I could just be cheeky and ask for +Legend to Strength and Stamina rolls as well as App+Pre rolls)

We'll work on as we move along.

Build the relic off what is in the book.

I'm gonna set tuesday as deadline for starting and posting character. If you can't make the tuesday deadline than message me and let me know.

SPACKlick Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:45 pm

Sorry Which tuesday at what time in what time zone?

**TrueAres** Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:50 pm

I forgot today was monday...sorry tomorrow...Eastern Standard time, United States. Which as of when I post this it's 1950 or 7:50 pm est.

SPACKlick Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:55 pm

Ok, it's 1am here and I need to be up in 5 and a half hours, so just to make sure I can finish my statting before the deadline.

1) Is there a house rule on Untouchable Opponent?
2) How will you ST the combination of both Cobra and Rabbit reflexes?
3) Is there a minimum speed of relic weapons?

I think I have an idea for spreading the final bonus points around, more on this at sensible o'clock.

Just shoot me your character's name and your God. I'll give you extra time. As for your 3 questions let me answer like this,
1) We will use this... http://wiki.white-wolf.com/whitewolf/index.php?title=Untouchable_Opponent_fixes
2) We will cross that bridge when we get to it. I'm still discussing it with other ST's.
3) The only sane interpretation is minimum speed 3/4.

I have an answer to #2...Scion: Demigod page 66, the box in the upper left hand corner. Reads like this:
"If a Scion has Rabbit Reflexes (see Scion: Hero, pg. 136) and Cobra Reflexes, he cannot use both Knacks against the same surprise attack. He can either dodge preternaturally well or catch his surprise attacker in a surprise counterattack -- the choice is up to the player. The character cannot use either Rabbit Reflexes or Cobra Reflexes if he has the Eternal Vigilance or Environmental Awareness (see Scion: Demigod pg. 66 & pg. 64) Knacks (since both render him unable to ever be caught by surprise)."

Ok, that's already posted

1) We will use this... [white wolf wiki]

I figured it would eb one fo those, which one?

2) We will cross that bridge when we get to it. I'm still discussing it with other ST's.

Ok, I didn't realise that was in the book, I thought it was a house rule. I'm good with that.

3) The only sane interpretation is minimum speed 3/4.

So is the speed 3 relic labrys acceptable or not?

Other than that, good to go.

Yes. If that is what your character is aiming for.

Sorry it's taking me so long. Here's what I've got of my backstory, nothing is set in stone, so I'm willing to change something if it doesn't fit. I want to expand on this a little bit and I'll get a sheet up tomorrow, I mostly just need to get my relics nailed down and BP spent. Just FYI, Monday through Wednesday are my busiest days, so I'll be posting less and mostly in the evening.

Jared was always a sickly child, spending most of his time reading, doing puzzles, and other solitary activities that engaged his mind. When he went to college he studied Egyptology, a subject he had been fascinated with since he was young. He went on to earn his PhD in Egyptology and found himself a position as a museum curator. His pet project was a display of relics from Egypt that included a sarcophagus for the wife of one of the pharaohs. One night while working late, he encountered a group attempting to perform some ritual centered around the sarcophagus. He interrupted the ritual and stopped the group, members of a cult dedicated to Apep, from opening a doorway to the underworld and releasing Apep's hoards of snakes into the world. Of course he didn't know the true nature of what he had prevented. The next day a woman showed up at his office with a cat. Telling him of his true heritage, he was tasked with protecting the sarcophagus to prevent any future attempts by the Titans or their followers to use it.

Ok, so I've worked out what to do with the last of my bonus points.

I'd like to add one to the Eagle's Ichcahuipilli to "lter its basic shape, length, color, or some other physical attribute"So that it looks more like bulky clothing than battle armour.

I'd like to spend one point on Malinalxochitl's Gloves A pair of fingerless gloves which give Fire Immunity.

I'd like to spend 5 points on a four dot relic fire lighter which replicates Blazing Weapon, don't have a name for this relic as yet. But I think that's Ma Ti Menville fully statted.

Do you want a description of visitations?

**TrueAres** Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:48 am

Sure. Right now all I need from everyone is their character's name and who their God is, so I can post the first part of the story. The first scene is more dialogue and role-play than actual fighting anyway.

I edited my first post with my sheet. I still need to spend my BP and I'm probably going to add to my relics, but the basics are there.

**TrueAres** Fri Sep 07, 2012 9:22 am

I forgot to add a house rule I personally have, "every character gets Scent of the Divine".

**TrueAres** Fri Sep 07, 2012 11:53 am

I need a little backstory on Andrew Walker.

Scutarii Fri Sep 07, 2012 6:01 pm

Some people are doctors. Some people are great scientists. Some people are war heroes and other sporting superstars.

Andrew was none of these things. What he was good at though was organising people. He might not cure cancer but he'd be the guy to assemble and lead the team that could do it. Or he would have were it not for the cut and thrust of the political game. Lured into his University's Liberal society he took steps into becoming the youngest listed candidate (with a chance of winning that is...) in the Liberal Democrat's campaign for the Exeter Constituency seat.

And he would have won it if it weren't for those meddling Gods...

True to his nature Hermes kept a close eye and even had contact with Andrew before his calling up to serve, guiding him towards the right people to kick start his political career.

After some initial teething problems and railing against his father for allowing him to be raised by series of foster parents while literally being within touching distance at times Andrew saw the big picture. And damnit was that picture big. And filled with the apparently incompetent. Sure there may be God's of knowledge out there, master tacticians one and all but it seemed they could barely get their own houses working let alone coordinate a half dozen different houses at once...
