Abyssal Suicide Bomber

Before the FBI swarms in, this title is related to Exalted. The title however is a perfect description. Please pull out your Exalted: The Abyssals class and turn to page 227-8. Please note the Labyrinth Circle Spell: Spiteful Passing. Now although it takes a turn of concentration (ie turn delay before the spell happens) it deals possibly the most bang for the buck for a very dedicated Deathlord. Consider, Abyssal shards are re-usable. When one Deathknight dies the Deathlord gets its core essence back. It may be draining and take considerable effort for the Deathlord to create a new Deathknight but think of the advantages. A Circle of Solars has just romped through the Deathlord's plans and are coming his way with a way to kill him. Along they way the capture his last wayword Abyssal servant. The guy has decent permanent Essence but no traning whatsoever. He is nowhere near capable to fighting the harderened Solars. They decide to question him however to learn what the Deathlord has planned to stop them. During this moment surrounded by the enemies of his lord the Abyssal concentrates, his Essence pool is at or near full so assuming an Essence 5 Abyssal he can give upwards of 70L damage (soakable only by natural soak) to everyone around him. How many beings can soak that? Not many, it's instant death. Now think about this, one death for 5, a dozen, more? The trick is high Stamina, high Essence Abyssal and that's about it.

Now I need to get ready to go out and hang with Jon so that's all for now. Just fun thing to think about if you are ever in an Exalted game I run :D But wait, Solars don't know about that spell! Hehehe, evil grin.

One local complaint: how the heck can our local schools get 3 days off already this year for weather? That's akin to the total we had in high school and fast approaching the high school/middle school total. What kinda wusses are they?
