Exalted Artifact Submission.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.whitewolf (More info?)

So, I ran a game of Exalted and had the following submitted to me for
approval.

I've made up my mind, but am wondering what other people think.

It's Artifact 4.

By spending 2^x motes (where X is the number of targets), the user
causes a startling gust of wind. The player rolls Wits + Occult +
Essence. The person this is directed at makes a Dex + Athletics roll.
For each success the user has over the target, the target is thrown
back 30 feet.

IMHO, It's too expensive.
"
S&S :
Power 4 :Major:At this level, an artifact can give almost
any bonus to a single Attribute or Ability or a wide range
of bonuses (as per Power 3) to several Attributes or
Abilities. The device's bonuses to soak or damage are
limited to +10, but it can also create force fields or other
magical barriers to guard multiple people from attacks.
The artifact can duplicate the effects of Essence 4 Charms
with no more than seven prerequisite Charms or three
Essence 3 Charms, as above. However, the artifact cannot
provide perfect attacks or defenses.

I'm not knowdlegeable enough in charms for judging the duplicating
thing above. ...

but seeing the attack is not perfect (and not extremely hard to
defend), and that a noble warstrider is artifact 4, I believe it's too
expensive. Without a limit on the number of targets, I'd say 3.

That's a horrible power. All the melee types will have to chase
them...wait, I've been playing lots of City of heroes.

Seems kind of weak for a 4th level artifact, though.

I agree with the others, expect I'd rank it Artifact 2. What form does
this thing take? I'm imagining one of those big-ass folded fans anime
characters are always whacking each other with!^^

Not even that cool. It's a circlet.
