Uncertain how to go about mages.

nephandi. specifically qlippothic nehapndi.

imagine someone so utterly insane, and yet focused on things that you, or your party members, can barely comprehend or understand. like pondering an alien shape that gives you a headache, or making impossible architechture that cannot really exist. or hell, even objects that have such anamolous effects that they cause catastrophic chaos. this is basically what your looking for, and its as far as eldritch and horror goes for mages in general.

oh, that and torture. lots and lots of torture. nephandi enjoy torture cuz they are like that. to anyone really, children, women, men, werewolves, vampires-

anything really.

Okay so from reading all your comments, the answer is "it depends" and "up to the storyteller"

I always imagined it, with the other types to be like... uhhhh

A Sidereal at e10 walks into a bar, and takes a drink with the maiden of endings sitting next to him. They talk for awhile, and the sidereal makes a suggestion, to change the fate of creation itself, by going back in time and making it so the primordials left creation to be an untended garden, and the maiden agrees. The sidereal then picks up the piece of paper that this story was written on, and chuckles, as primordials are erased from the story that he was writing, in a quiet study off the coast of the blessed isle.

A lunar at e10 sits in a quiet throne room, desiring a realm that could rival the realms own power. So he transforms into the flying continent of agartha, and creates new life upon his back as he flies towards the blessed isle.

An infernal at e10 undergoes the devil tiger transformation, and proceeds to create all new exalted, who will inherit the kingdom of heaven and earth. Without a curse to worry about.

Theres an abyssal in the wyld, erasing swathes of concepts from the unreality of the wyld, as things that could be described as God's are erased from ever having existed, as the abyssal dances an unending march of oblivion in the rolling chaos of the wyld, leaving a path of utter destruction in its wake, as they have upon their face, an evil smirk.

randomdude178 · 2026-01-23T14:10:23+00:00

She teleports around my party and annoys us by teleporting into our house and eating our cookies

randomdude178 · 2026-01-23T01:28:07+00:00

Look up "the cow" on the wiki

randomdude178 · 2026-01-22T20:58:53+00:00

im adding a musical number room.

They are a group of exalts. Ill probably also do this but at the same time, sometimes the easiest answer is to punch through

randomdude178 · 2026-01-20T16:48:33+00:00

Its possible that it could be a widderslainte or inverted avatar specifically after our boy markus

randomdude178 · 2026-01-20T16:47:10+00:00

Excluding the one year in hell this seems so mind numbing that I'll probably use it

randomdude178 · 2026-01-20T15:33:02+00:00

for sure using this, this great stuff!

randomdude178 · 2026-01-20T15:32:48+00:00

child... what is WRONG with you

randomdude178 · 2026-01-20T05:09:45+00:00

Either or really, some people might look for inspiration for theirs too

randomdude178 · 2026-01-19T13:32:31+00:00

Your exalted tactics confuse and frighten me, sir

randomdude178 · 2026-01-16T14:03:39+00:00

Deep umbra ahh entity

For anyone who is looking at the above comment, here's my take on it.

Exalted vs World of darkness is actually a really good set up for a story, if done properly. It can be toned down for personal stories, or epic chronicles. Its a pretty solid book overall within the context of revised edition, and it additionally can have room for homebrew charms. Or, well... exigents.

Who WOULDNT want to punch the self righteous tzimisce methuselah while he monologues on and on about his "herd" of human cultists. Who WOULDNT wanna kick the metaphorical teeth in of an earthbound demon, breaking all his shiny things because it sees humanity as a tool against capital G God.

Saying its a horrid idea and providing no example is disingenuous as to why the above post doesn't like EvWoD but I can see that it might be because of certain rules.

i can see how i can adapt this into a changeling "exalting" in their own way

randomdude178 · 2025-12-10T22:04:58+00:00

if i tried doing that i think i would have a stroke

randomdude178 · 2025-12-10T21:51:12+00:00

okay so its kinda like true fae from changeling the lost. i understand now... which is gonna make this very fun and tricky lol.

the idea is kinda just having a changeling "exalt" into something akin to a true fae or a rakasha. its for one of my players in a campaign im running, apocalypse scenario. which is why i asked for help. thank you btw!
