I like this new Court scheme. The other one was alright, but this one is more varied in themes and options. I think nearly everything has been covered, in terms of the Fair Folk crunch... except for Languages. Languages aren't fluff. They have mechanical benefits and consequences in game. Can you lift the ban on discussion now? |

...Considering that it ultimately boils down to "whatever language the player speaks," yes, languages are pretty much window dressing. Especially when everybody has Trade/Common/Basic/whatever the setting calls it. That said... fine. I just didn't think I'd quite gotten the Courts evened out, all right? |

Not in this thread, Weredrago2. I think the Unseelie Court asset is a bit not up to par. It seems a bit inherently worse than the Necrodermis Promethean asset. Of course, Modrons are a whole heck of a lot worse than Tuatha so even looking like them is no doubt terrifying, let alone being made of Modron stuff. |

You're right, Username. My bad. I'll drop the subject here. We have a separate thread for that anyway. Why does Unseelie grant you an Enemy? It causes the asset to become less of an appealing option compared to the others. |

Rooted in fluff. Unseelie are in the Materium because they pissed off another Tuatha. The Fair Folk, you might recall, are dicks about this sort of thing. |

I would specify that as Enemy (Rival Tuatha), then. I have two alternate suggested wordings to these powers. Just minor stuff, but I think the sentences run smoother this way. Wicked Masque: Begin play with Speak Language (Spirits). You do not need to eat, sleep, drink, or breathe (though you can if you wish), and are unaffected by pressure, radiation, and aging. You cannot spend Glamour to improve Social tests made against non-exalts, and cannot benefit from a Bionic Heart (or artifact versions thereof). Blue and Orange Morality: Your Devotion cannot be reduced below your Heart Grace, but you take a -2 penalty on Alignment checks. You cannot take the Virgil's Guidance or Pure Faith feats, which are treated as optional feats when they appear on your class track. You continue to gain Degenerations as normal, but all Degenerations at your current Devotion or lower are removed when you raise your Devotion with EXP. |

Updated language quibble in base exalt, Court assets are still up for discussion. |

You could give Empyrean Diviniation as an alternative to Enchantment or Illusion. Can't think anything else. |

I disagree with the idea of giving Unseelie court a copy of the Necrodermis asset. Better to keep things unique. As it stands now though it is inferior to the Necrodermis asset as I read it. |

Then what would you suggest? At the moment, I'm looking at Ozoi (second image in OP) and the Makuta of Metru Nui as possible examples of Unseelie Tuatha, if that helps at all. My thought process being, basically, that the Seelie Fae are unsettling in their perfection, while the Unseelie are just plain horrific in appearance. EDIT: In the meantime, I've dropped it to just ensuring you get the hindrance on it, plus weredrago's suggestion of copypasting Necrodermis, until we determine how else to go about this.
