[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3313842, member: 35788"] Yeah, that's kind of how I figured it would go down. So long as anyone new could be introduced by Elenia and anyone beings put on the shelf for a while could be needed by Elenia to stay behind ... that's about all the justification I would need IC. I'm not too big on those kind of transitions, especially in online games. [Sblock=RA]Actually, I've done some thinking about RHaka ... and I think I've truly nailed down the conflict that I've felt earlier. I don't think the conflict is necessarily from her VoP status as much as it is that our understandings of exalted are different. I think the VoPness isn't what's causing me to feel the tension. It's more like how the exalted gets put into play. For example, Rhaka not going into the warehouse. Essentially, that was a clear case where her exaltedness caused a dirent disconnect with what was expected from her. I'm not complaining about getting the lower XP, because obviously Rhaka didn't participate in the fight. The problem was that I can see this kind of disconnect coming up more and more often. Adventurers often have to do things like sneak into warehouses. I just don't see an exalted character doing that. A good character, perhaps. But not exalted. Given what's coming up, I think her exalted status is just more likely to get in the way. Thoughts?[/Sblock] [/QUOTE]
