Are we going to take what we like and put it in the opening post for this thread? |

That's up to Kwak, I think, I'll just stick to spitballing for now...

Okay, so it's Free Rank, TK, Superior Action, Life Sense, and the Penalty for the starting powers and Ego 1. What should Ego 2 be? I want to say something like I have for Warped Mind. How are we calculating Psi? I'd recommend it being the sum of your mental characteristics for a smooth, even 18 maximum. |

...Not free rank, something Manipulative. Try to think, very specifically, "not magic." Though I'll agree that the Unnatural Mental Characteristics one should come at Ego 2, if Mind-Hand Manipulation doesn't. How Psi should be calculated should probably wait on just how many avenues we have for spending it. The more our innate not-magic is powered by spending Psi, the more Psi we should have, yes? |

Okay, so not Enchantment, but definitely something like it. That's one way to do it. Another way would be a free rank, but you can spend a Psi to use your Ego as your Caster Level. We have options. I'd like to have MHM at the start. We can look at different resource calculations. As long as its 20 or under, I'm fine with it. |

Pure Ego: Same function used for the Sage; Ego*4 gives 20 Psi at Ego 5. Simple Function: Used for Wraith and Demiurge; Ego+Resolve can get (guaranteed) 15 Psi by Ego 5, 16 with Unnatural Willpower, and could go even higher depending on class and racial feats. Trinomial: Used for Werewolf and Symbiote; Ego+Level+Characteristic maxes at 16 Psi. Using two Unnatural characteristics gets up to 17, not including Ego in the formula maxes at 18. Complex Function: Used for Atlantean and Daemonhost; (2*Ego)+two characteristics maxes at 20-22 Psi depending on which characteristics are used. If Stress/Strain is used as a penalty, Constitution should probably be included in the function. |

I'd prefer Trinomial all mental characteristics. Makes them earn it more. You know, we should keep these notes in case we make a 'this is how you make your own homebrew exalted' document. |

...I'd like to point out, incidentally, that the only exaltations that don't use their power stat in the function for their resource stat are the Dragonblood (2*Level) and the Font (Level + Charisma). |

Werewolves have rage equal to their Composure + Willpower + Level. I believe the reasoning behind this one is that Level is a counterpart to Renown. Also, Fonts and Dragonblooded only have 10 max? Anyone else at 10 only? Edited by weredrago2, Feb 4 2016, 10:40 PM.

...So they do. If anything, that tells me that if we aren't going to use Ego we're obliged to use Level. Paragons are Level + Excellence, barring assets. Edited by Eisenritter, Feb 4 2016, 10:41 PM.
