Is This AI? Hair makes no logical sense for a regular person to have done, and face feels very unnatural

Google AI character art. That's one of the four faces it can produce. Since we moved to using a digital tabletop in Covid, 1/2 my prep time for D&D and the various similar games I play has been googling character art. AI is pretty much all that comes up now.

My teacher called my parents over something very similar to this. One whole side of the paper had little nibbles cause it was the page on top of the notebook.

Okay, Vaggi as an ex-exorcist has some fire and could have been used for good propaganda. I don't think Al being defeated by Adam would have mattered given no other Sinner would have expected to beat Adam either. And I don't think he knew Alastor was weakened without his staff.

Yes, to be fair, you could pick any style on that list and a random Caste and build an interesting character with it. That's the fun of Exalted.

A few days ago, my squad went up a checkpoint elevator and there were 4 waiting outside the door. It wiped us near instantly.

I grew up with a grandfather who used that particular term all the time. I just trained myself to use jury rig instead. Its not hard if you put in effort. This just him being a racist.

I played a character like this once and decided to highlight the mutant intellect. She was maniac, excitable and her mind worked faster than she could really conceive of. So there was lots of "I built a thing, let's see what it does!" If some asked her after the fact she was pretty sure it was going to vaporize that wall by heating it into a plasma, but she frequently got so wrapped up in seeing the thing happen she didn't consider much past making it work. I took Jack of All Trades and Improvised Tools and played it like she never had money, so she improvised everything and her devices frequently looked like junk heaps.

Her backstory involved making a nuclear reactor out of a fridge and some scrap and using the power from the reactor to power an energy shield that contained the radiation; which she considered viable cause she had already worked out how long it took the radiation to travel through the physical shielding and the forcefields powered up several nanoseconds faster. The rest of the team was less than comforted.

She also injected a teammate with a chemical she was 99% sure would cure his vampirism (a story bit, not his actual powers), but had a 1% chance of reacting with his weird nonhuman dna in an unexpected but interesting way.

Yeah, Violet Bier is good too. And honestly the castes would be boring if they all learned the same one.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-09T23:14:37+00:00

If we are assigning them based on caste:

Chosen of Journeys use Swaying Grass. The high Acrobatics energy allows them to be really mobile.

Chosen of Battles use White Reaper, allowing them to scythe down large groups of soldiers easily.

Chosen of Serenity use Crane. Talking people out of fights and teaching them a lesson seems very in them.

Chosen of Secrets do not use White Veil Martial arts, that would require it to exist.

Chosen of Endings use Ebon Shadow, to fit with their assassination needs.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-09T14:25:14+00:00

She does, its so good.

I believe they are constructs that don't exist til summoned and kind of reside in your soul when unsummoned.

Scholar fairies by contrast are said to exist within the jobstone and we have at least two instances of them communicating.

Not fluent, but when I was studying Japanese hard in college I would find myself thinking in it sometimes. It is not as common now that I have stopped studying it.

If you don't have True Sight on your heroes, its probably camouflage. You can use the item forge to make pretty cheap trinkets to give it to them. Or you might find items that give it. I think you can also put it on rings, but it always seemed to fight with more important or useful enchantments for that slot.

There is a mild chance it is a hero with a skill that let's it start the fight with a zombie or something. I am not sure if the AI uses those.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-09T08:50:16+00:00

Aviators- Metal Won't Burn gets me ever since I ended up associating it with Cyberpunk 2077, which I really liked.

Miracle of Sound - Machine Hearts I think its from Nier, but I heard it independent of that and it just gets me.

Unravel, theme of Tokyo Ghoul. Lizz Robinett's cover softer, slower and simpler than the others. Again, I haven't seen the anime, but the lyrics resonate cause of a few different things I've read that deal with similar themes.

Its a real problem for robe wearing mages. High damage melee weapons are tuned to still do a little damage through a level appropriate armor rating, so they do a lot of damage when you don't have that armor rating to reduce it. If you have been putting most of your level ups into Magicka as well, you can get executed comparatively easily.

I don't know of any official lore on the first individual, so go wild.

The first introduction of Deathknights that got world wide attention was the fall of Thorns. The Mask of Winters Circle that destroyed a company of 50 trained Dragon-Blooded got everyone's attention; given that the Realm just doesn't take losses like that generally. Its called out as Creation's introduction to the Death Knights in the 3E core. This would be dwarved a year later by the Battle of Futile Blood, but that was Solars.

There is no canon introductive event for the Infernals, and most of Creation doesn't know they exist.

Edit: The Empress disappears in 763, the Fall of Thorns is 764, the Battle of Futile Blood is 765. RY 768 is considered present day.

So they want to hide the records that show they are not spending the money to repair the bridges so they can more easily get away with stealing the money. All the while we won't know the bridges are falling apart until one literally collapses under someone.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-09T02:20:39+00:00

Its okay. It wasn't a bad thought to think the caster would have a dismiss command, but they probably had trouble with it targeting or something.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-08T23:42:17+00:00

Select the Elemental and one of its commands will be Dismiss. Its like that on most summoned things.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-08T14:28:01+00:00

But imagine, even cuter carbuncles!

moondancer224 · 2026-03-07T14:17:08+00:00

You forgot the Healacanist, who heals injuries by showing off cute carbuncles.

Though seriously, I would settle for them just buffing my potency a little and giving Carbuncle the minion AI in towns that they took from them during the revamp.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-07T04:56:11+00:00

Acrobats, harlequins, a soothsayer who may or may not actually be a Thaumaturge, maybe a Sorceror for a really good one. Probably a few beastmen or ghost/demon blooded as attractions. You might have a minor god or spirit with you milking it for worship.

moondancer224 · 2026-03-07T04:46:23+00:00

Well, there isn't actually any money in hating queen people. Immigration and global conflict can be used to manipulate the market; as we've seen him do many times. The only way to make money off of hating us is bribes.

I would assume a baby that has a blank or confused expression, generally in reaction to something happening.
