"Exalted" weapon

I love making magic weapons. Some friends of mine have been on a rush of making weapons for the "Exalted" game. I have never heard of it nor played it, but...

End of Innocence -- When a target is struck with this spear, they come to understand a deep revelation about the world. If the injuries are light, this will merely be an insight about some trivia or another. Serious injuries cause them to understand the nature of their opponent, and why they fight, to such a degree that they will be unable to carry on in battle. Death causes a complete understanding of all things.

Of course, now I'm thinking of this as a weapon of Ahm... *sigh*

That's not Order...

I'm pretty sure that'd be 'by Inspiration', man, especially after Misa's cult-leader-from-beyond-space-and-time kick.

While you're right that it may not be Order, I'm not sure that "understanding" is really the same thing as "inspiration."

"Death by Inspiration" feels very different to me.

Perhaps it ought to be called "by Revelation" or "by Understanding" or some other banana trait.

mmm...Agony by Fate...

Be well.

Mmm, system-conversion geekery. I still poke at that nTeraction Ill Winds thing every now and then, though coming up with Channelers is amazingly complicated now. There's effectively a list for every possible type of spirit.

I am most amused by the Zellik abilities.

I realized that a priest header for Him would be all about two things:

1) Gaining CP more rapidly.
2) Being able to spend it on demand.

Whilst not actually having anything to spend that CP on. Heh.

All the crazy Seer stuff about understanding the true and awful nature of the cosmos seemed to be Inspiration and not Order. Granted, a lot of that is world-specific.
