Question: Yozi-Body Unity

Is the version in RoTSE only available for the Ebon Dragon or all YBU Charms are equal?

My group runs under the assumption that (Yozi) Yozi body unity is one the kind of general charms that is the same for all yozi, perhaps some varying fluff text for each yozi, but the same mechanical effects.

Considing the usage of (Yozi) in the Charm name matching the other General Infernal charms available from all yozis, and those working on RotSE know the importance of that, I'd say that they intended it to be as Xanandithras describes: a general charm with varying fluff but identical mechanics available from all Yozis (not just the Reclamation 5) presuming of course charmset access.

That is the pattern for all the other (Yozi) marked charms after all, why would they change it here, without noting anything at all?

Thanks guys.



Another Question:

Is it worth to take Sand-Devil Shintai if you already have a Yozi-Body Unity?

On (Y)Charms, I think there might be some differences between the variations, but the core idea is the same on each.



On SSDS, yes. That allows you to have the best of both worlds. Immaterial when you need to be, material and immaterial otherwise, and all for free, permanent, and reflexive.

Hiiii!

I missread the YBU text and thought you could already use it to ignore material things at will. Now with SSDS you can be always immaterial and permanently affect material things at will. Cool.

First, (Ebon Dragon) XXX Charms are the Ebon Dragon version of a general Charm. We do not know how different other versions would be. For some (like the Mythos Exultant), they are very different. For others (like So Speaks (Yozi) ) they are pretty much exactly the same. With (Yozi) Yozi-Body Unity, it is reasonable to assume they are all the same given how generic it is.

Soul-Sand Devil Shintai is not the most powerful Shintai available (for that I'd have to go with the Greater Shintai of the Endless Desert or Heuristic Logos Shintai). However, it's available relatively early on in the Charm tree and its effects are amazing, all things considered.
