>Let us discuss inspirational reading for Exalted, because why the fuck not. To reveal my ulterior motive for this topic, I've been thinking about reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I understand that there is more than one English translation, none of which appear to be available in the libraries or bookstores around here. I was hoping some fa/tg/uy could tell me which translation is the best and whether there is any hope at all of finding it online somewhere.

I've not read some of the important mythic stuff, things that serve as an inspiration for Exalted like the Ramayana, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West or The Water Margin.
Stuff that I've read that I've found makes for good inspiration for Exalted is the Iliad, Epic of Gilgamesh, Black Company, Night's Master and a bunch of Conan and Elric stories.
Juan Powell
Black Company's a pretty good take on what it's like to be a mortal caught up in the battles of the Exalted, I'd say. Also, related to some of the last thread's discussion, on how mortals can matter even when outclassed by more powerful beings.

If the person from last thread is here: The Dodge Excellency gets you 1 point for every 2 motes, not 1.

I said the standard excellency rate was 1 mote per 1 die. Each point of a static value is worth 2 dice/2 motes.

If she is dancing by herself, this Charm can also raise her Resolve.
Can you just use this charm to gain +2 Evasion/Parry for 1m whenever you describe yourself as dance-fighting? Do you have to Stunt yourself as dance-fighting? Do you have to Flurry a Performance action while you fight if you want to benefit from this?
This is the first time that I've, personally, struggled with the natural language of a charm.

>Do you have to Flurry a Performance action while you fight if you want to benefit from this?
This.
Dancing is a performance action, which is a miscellaneous action in combat. Also, if this were not the case, the charm would be stupidly efficient.
