To be honest you're being a bit of a piss baby about this, I'm writing in a calm and concise manner and you're shitting yourself. Using insults, ranting about how you're going to leave. Et cetera.

Turning an argument into an ad hominem against me isn't gonna fly.

If you're going to post? Go ahead.
If you're going to leave the fight? Go ahead.
If you're going to straight up quit the roleplay? Go ahead.

It's your choice, I don't care whatever way you're going. I'm going to go make a coffee.

And the only reason anyone ever has complaints with you, Beta, is because you're using magic based off of a system that is wholly incompatible with T1 rules. Which, mind you, we are trying to follow.

However you keep mentioning motes, essence, peripheral, personal, et cetera. And to anyone who HASN'T read the enormous fuckall book of Exalted, it makes no sense.

So she can immediately heal after blowing a huge amount of magic? Neat.

This is from another Exalted Book, Book of the Emerald Circle.

Here is what it says

Flight of Separation
Cost: 10m, 1wp; Circle: Emerald; Type: Reflexive (Step 9)
Keywords: Component, Counterattack, Counter-Resist, Sustain, Shaping
Duration: Until no longer Sustained

The sorcerer speaks the Word of Ten Thousand Birds, part of the song that all the birds of Creation sing when they gather in one place. Because humans cannot speak this word, she is suddenly transformed into a flock of birds in a burst of Essence (the only Obvious part of this spell). This metamorphosis happens reflexively in Step 9 as a counterattack, and can break flurries. The birds fly together at a Move speed of (Essence x 5) yards per tick—or (Essence x 10) miles per hour—and can travel any distance, although long-distance travel requires checking for strenuous activity (see Exalted, p. 130) as the sorcerer is required to Sustain the spell. Once the birds complete their journey, they finish the Word of Ten Thousand Birds and coalesce to become the sorcerer once more.

While transformed into a flock of birds, the sorcerer keeps all of her normal traits and equipment, but just like Lunar shapeshifting, all her inventory goes Elsewhere. The sorcerer still has one mind, and the magic of the spell allows her to control her multiple bird bodies with ease, including using and processing all the birds' senses. Due to her small and fluttering size, the sorcerer's Dodge DV gains a bonus of (Essence). She can only take the miscellaneous action to Sustain the spell and reflexive non-attack actions, however, such as Move actions. She may use any Charms or other effects that do not conflict with this restriction—most likely reflexive Charms.

The size of the sorcerer's flock is equal to ([the number of health levels she possess] x Essence). Every (Essence) birds is considered a single target. Therefore, attacks against the sorcerer that cannot strike multiple targets at once only can hit one set of birds at a time, and do at most one health level of damage. Damage is otherwise tracked normally. When a set of (Essence) birds are slain, they dissolve into a pool of the caster's blood, often while it is plummeting through the air. No bird can be further than one yard from another.

Each sorcerer always becomes a particular species of bird. Abyssal sorcerers invariably become carrion-eating birds such as rations.

Component: The sorcerer must begin to speak the Word of Ten Thousand Birds to cast this spell. If she cannot, this spell cannot be cast. She, in her flock-form, must also be able to speak or else she will not be able to end the spell.

Funny how one is longer and further explains how it works than the other.

Also, I'm not getting into a dick waving competition with you. If you get trapped in the dome you're going to die. That's the end of that thought.

And as I said.

Erde's influence is a 2 mile radius from the core. Unless those birds can fly at past the speed of sound I can entrap them in an enormous 4 mile diameter dome.

"Justifying evil actions based on the actions of others is a mortal concept, spellcaster. I personally went to slay the metal beast for it bore evil will in my domain. Had you stayed behind you would have never faced my judgement. However, you followed me and your sole action was to spit a foul curse upon it. Your attempts to justify yourself to me fall on the undeniable truth that most organic life is stupid and petty. Yet it views itself above all else. Most cruelly the planets that gave the very life's blood that flows through your veins." There were no pauses in Erde's speech, just a slow deliberate tone about it. Every word was spaced a half step away from the others to make the impact of each ring true. "If what you say is true, and that you can demonstrate something to prove yourself unworthy of my scorn. Then do so, show me your proof. Return the land to how it was before the metal beast, and then save the wounded."

Erde took his foot off of her chest, stepping back and grabbing her hand, hoisting her back up to her feet. Speaking of the curse only lead to further frustration but Erde was going to let her 'prove her worth.' Though he was dubious about this situation. Every word she spoke was about helping those who were harmed, and repairing the damage done by the massive metal monstrosity. At the back of his head though he questioned whether letting her stand up was the best choice, she had even stated that she was unable to cast the curse again. Good, that information would stick with him. Due to his suspicion of her Erde kept his focus on the ground tight, should she dare to double cross him he would crush her. The very ground would split apart, like the mouth of some great beast, and the earth below would consume her. If she dared. However if she did not, and did somehow prove herself trustworthy, he would forget the incident ever happened. And balance would return to this area.

The Flight Of Separation huh? Neato. And that'll be only a few birds, mind you. As you're on the verge of death. I am to understand that the worse your physical well being the less birds there are.

I have the Exhalted Rulebook bookmarked to my browser, and I'm just searching for terms that you mention.

Also you have to speak it, not just open your mouth and the words come out.

Keep in mind: They can't outrun Erde, and they must maintain a distance of one yard away from eachother.

Also, it hasn't been an hour. I won't fault you on the regeneration of whatever those things are, but it hasn't been an hour. So regaining 14 of them is odd.

Just because you don't explain every single one of your powers doesn't mean it'll be that easy to exploit them, Beta.

Have fun writing around Erde crushing you. c:

Bah, I'm going to bed. I'm waiting on 4 people to post, 2 of whom are holding other people up. So I'm gonna head to bed to fastforward time a bit.

Also I'm exhausted, grumpy, and I still have two days before these fucking stitches come out so I can fucking scratch my hand. You have no idea how infuriating not being able to scratch something itchy is.

This, this is a forum. It also functions as a chatroom. It's not a difficult concept.

Also, Boerd, I reviewed your sheet.

Nexus Of Worlds Multiverse

Alright, here's my review.

• You may want to make him physically superior than he currently is in every single way, or give him better tools.


• First and Foremost: Ship to ship combat is not the focus of this roleplay, ships are a location in and of themselves. They are part of the setting, not the combat. As long as you know this you should be fine.


• The MASER is fine. Just describe the projectile speed and temperature.


• Judging him based solely on his skillset and equipment, as he is he's only a Low Tier.

Why did the chat die? Why does it always die? Every day!
