I have been batting around a concept for (S)word School tracks for characters that focus on social combat. Some basic archetypes like a professor, lawyer, high class social butterfly, etc. My questions before I start dedicating more brain to this endeavour are: Is this necessary? Is it wanted? To do: Expand on stunting in social combat. WIP Classes on types of social attacks paired with favored action. Working on one example Reworking of eroding resolve, changing attitudes, forcing opinions and breaking alignment. WIP Incorporate Faith WIP Compelling Large Crowds Not Started How will it change Exalts that use Resolve as a resource stat? Soft Resolve - The stuff spent and restored on a daily basis. Hard Resolve (needs new name) - Represents the max limit of Soft Resolve, must be eroded to make someone go against friends, beliefs, faith and alignment. Takes longer to restore. Normal person one year per point, mortal hero one month per point, Exalt hero one week per point. Hard Resolve = Willpower + Composure Regain Resolve Alternate: 1/2 (Willpower + Composure) rounded down after eight hours rest. Extended Mental Effort Social Combat Will Breaking Stunting

Book 1 p.236 says otherwise. A "free raise" is a +5 static bonus to the roll, far from useless. Edited by Eisenritter, Dec 1 2015, 10:40 PM.

So it does. Yay. Thank you for the correction with source and page number. My couple year hiatus has left me fuzzy on some rules. |

...I feel the need to point out that we do have an exalt now that uses Resolve as a resource stat, so any changes to how Resolve works in social combat will affect that. |

There are several that use Resolve as a resource stat. I am looking at how it is spent and restored. I don't plan on changing Willpower + Composure for calculating. |

No, there are several that function Resolve for their resource stat. Perpetuals actually use Resolve. |

I read that in the book of brew. I am currently looking at game mechanics and how to make breaking alignment more difficult from a crunch perspective. I was not doing this work with derivative exalts in mind. |

You know, if you actually made a Sword School for Social Combat, it would go best with the Duelist. |
