[quote user="Epimetheus"]Yes. Your reading is not wrong but sidereal exaltation process has been corrected/clairified in Scoll of Heroes back to the first edition ruling.[/quote] So, first edition Scroll of Heroes trumps second edition Sidereals ? Seems counter-intuitive. More to the point, I just skimmed Scroll of Heroes , and found nothing

[quote user="Epimetheus"]You get an exaltation at birth[/quote] So there can never be more than a hundred living and potential Sidereals combined? "All that is known about the process is that when a Sidereal dies, the Exaltation flees instantly to Lytek for a quick clean-and-polish, and then immediately proceeds to the next viable candidate

Many-Faceted Faces of the Godhead, a style dedicated to dualism, blending, and so forth. Themes relating to multiple gods and harmony of opposites. Maybe one or two of the Charms could optimize or facilitate combos, or a practitioner could use the same move to see/approach a problem from multiple angles in one go. I don't have any clear idea as

A Sidereal hypothetically knows when he will die, based on the prescription written in the Loom. And yet, the Loom is fallible. Some agent may work to Exalt that half-breed even if it costs a living Sidereal. Some agent may work to Exalt the half-breed without knowing that it would cost a living Sidereal, and thereby inadvertently causing one of those

I didn't say the Abyssals themselves were outside Fate, but the advent of the Abyssals followed the release of the Solars, which ostensibly wasn't predicted (or it might have been stopped). The point is that the Sidereals aren't omnipotent, and even the Loom isn't omniscient with respect to beings inside its purview. "When such

[quote user="Epimetheus"]It isn't unpredictable and mysterious.[/quote] Page 49 of The Manual of Exalted Power: Sidereals says otherwise. The Fair Folk say otherwise. The disappearance of the Scarlet Empress, the release of the Solars, the appearance of new types of Exalted not foreordained in the plan of the Incarna and the Dragons, the

[quote user="Epimetheus"]That'd be stupid. Sidereals will never kill each other, under most circumstances.[/quote] Who said anything about Sidereals killing each other? An impending Sidereal Exaltation where all Sidereal Exaltations are currently taken could easily be a foretelling of some otherwise unforeseen act. Remember, massive displays

[quote user="Thoth"]Since the exaltation won't pick a new host until the current host is dead (or so I have recently been informed), how is the sidereal half-caste supposed to inherit the parents exaltation without killing the parent?[/quote] It's Fate. Unless something (read: an Exalt, or even more than that something outside Creation

At Essence 10, a character should be closer to the God of Ships than anything but Mercury and the actual God of Ships. I'm thinking actual possession of the entire fleet, or close to it, and allowing sympathetic Charm use. You could enhance cannonballs with Archery Charms, or give each of your captains the benefit of your War Charms, or use a spell
