Argue ferociously about Sidereal Martial Arts in this thread.

Daredevil:

But, yes. Hopefully, in a year, when they start to release Exalted Revised (White Wolf never releases 3rd Editions, just "Revised"), this pointless Charm cap will be gone.

I would not bet on it. The people who are currently writing for the line (as far as I know) feel it is quite important, I think.

Here's the thing, many Sidereal fans like things the way they are.

The innability to make custom Charms being seen more as a 'feature' than a flaw, and their mastery of Martial Arts being seen as the tradeoff for it.

Hence the dislike over the dilution of that niche... And see the "Lunar SMA" thread for why Astrology does not compare favourably with Knacks for being the "special Sidereal thing".

Rebecca Borgstrom has suggested to make shattering ongoing sorcerous effects with SSP cost (Circle)Xps. So you can't just go casually dispelling solar sorcery spells, but if you need to, you can. And it's still just as easy to smash a spell that's casting.

Using EXP as an expended resource is a bad idea because mechanically, it really has no effect on NPC's, especially with the EXP debt mechanism already built into the game system.

I don't understand why Sidereals can't simply rely on Mending Warped Designs for long-term things.  They actually have a charm that, with enough organization and planning, can directly reverse the use of Rain of Doom on a city.  Nobody else has something that can do that so directly; combined with their perfects, I don't think they really need more tools for coping with SCS than that.

True, and I absolutely love that charm and encourage its use in all things, though it should be noted that a single Sidereal can, by and large, only use it on trivial matters.  Repairing the area destroyed by Rain of Doom is likely to require ten or more Sidereals at once, and Total Annihilation should probably just be worked around.  While I'm wary of how capable it makes a Sidereal of opposing Solar Circle Sorcery effects (which are weak enough without SSP and anti-sorcery charms), I often consider just allowing a Sidereal to extend the damn roll indefinitely.  Seriously, it'd only take a few hours of that to repair an area melted by the acid rain, but it would also leave that Sidereal doing nothing but obviously re-arranging threads for hours.  Any nasty around can just walk up and kill him while he's working.
