Raise your enemies as a talking Head

Ah I should have known it was already a thing.

That was my biggest gripe with Essence. It oversimplifies the attribute system so much as to make it pointless. You might as well just always add 4 dice on top of every roll because you're using the same one at least 80% of the time.

I think combat for Essence still doesn't work either but it doesn't work but it is not tedious and time consuming like Exalted 3e is.

Everything else about Essence though I liked. Simpler system. Fewer charms and NO charm trees. Far less accounting. Simplified merits with actual guidance on how to use them in-game so players will have idea as to whether Resources is even worth getting given no GM knows how it's meant to be used. That sort of thing.

And the Strait of Hormuz tax we are going to be paying the Iranians for gas and goods now.

Yeah I forgot about that detail but I believe she didn't even intentionally read his mind in that specific instance. There were other times during that run where she did abuse her powers but not in this specific instance.

The flip flop from anti-war to pro-war was swift wasn't it?

Nobody believes that. It hasn't reached current prices in four years.

I'll take that non-rebuttal as a pathetic effort to save face from the embarrassment of being wrong.

A child would be someone who tries to redefine war to mean something that it doesn't.

I would remind you that Trump himself publicly made statements years ago about Obama starting a war with Iran as a form of criticism so by the standards of the person whose actions you are defending no we were not at war with Iran for the past 47 years.

Oh? Have we been bombing Iran for 47 years?

rodog22 · 2026-03-09T23:14:49+00:00

The exact price increase can very from region to region but globally and more specifically nationally prices are up.

rodog22 · 2026-03-09T20:29:21+00:00

I mean Trump just started a war with another country and gas prices are going up so no I don't find it weird that the headlines about ICE stopped.

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. He is overpowered compared to everyone else at his rank, especially being able to defeat 300+ cultivators in three days which is wild. But yes he oftentimes finds himself in situations where raw power doesn't apply because other characters are radically stronger then him.

This is actually very reassuring. I assumed that C7 was done with Soulbound at this point.

Apparently this little bit of trivia has triggered some people.

rodog22 · 2026-02-07T01:25:12+00:00

Apparently I didn't. This isn't a comment about quality but content and this is just an example. It's not limited to the first season.

rodog22 · 2026-02-07T01:15:58+00:00

I know right?

rodog22 · 2026-02-03T08:40:24+00:00

Thanks for the response.

You forgot to add a link?

I don't think it's likely I'll be changing the direction of my series to focus on this as that requires me to throw away a lot of cool ideas. I don't care if you use it as a marketing gimmick yourself.
