    What options do Solaroids have for turning spirits into mortals, while maintaining continuity of consciousness?

    A bit much for bullshit deductions, but let's be honest: her power has never really been limited to that. I also doubt her shard would tell her some of the details, but it could be acting oddly around TDP. Regardless, that doesn't really matter because she didn't need that extra detail for the initial stage of her plan.

    This is especially true for raising attributes. There is some minor potential for abuse,

    I doubt we'll be doing any crafting ourselves, but some of this might be useful when we get our crafter/necromancer/whatever.

    If we ever end up getting a sorcerer/necromancer, you might look at the 3E

    Why? You're simply trading one damnation for another. If you want that, just learn its Abyssal mirror. If you don't, there is nothing that a Primordial can do that a Solar cannot do better.

    PPE requires Solar Sorcery, which Abyssals can't get (because they have Void Necromancy instead). There is no mirror.

    Primordials - I'm assuming that you're assuming that we would naturally go Devil-Tiger from there, because at that point why not - do have advantages over Solars. They don't die, for one. For two... the way I learned it, the general rule is that Yozi charms are more powerful in their specialties than Solar charms, while the latter are weaker but more widely applicable. That's at least meant to be balanced. Of note are some mechanics that Finagle homebrewed for Solars-turned-Devil-Tiger for his SI and the relevant posts above and below it; the usual disclaimers apply of course.

    However, the quest is likely to die long before we reach E5 or Redemption, and there's no way it'll last long enough for both, GttMH, all three Sorcery qualifications, PPE, the long climb to THotDT, and whatever TDP gets into on the Earth Bet side of things. It's a purely academic goal until we achieve one of the first two, so the most important factor is, "Is it narratively interesting?" IMO, it would be.

    [X] Call her right now and ask if she has a dress

    Because freckles. Also because what better way to take over the E88 than bringing in people with no ties to the existing command structure.

    From a more meta perspective, we know what Lisa can do. From what Skitzy said in the spoiler, we know the shard works on TDP. She's incredibly useful.

    and she's le cute.

    That's a backup for when we find out that getting her killed does not, in fact, lead to Abyssal!Lisa. Sorry, The Tongue that Taunts Tirelessly, it was your cruel fate to never be born.

    Um, check the last part of that post? I'm fully aware that no Worm/Exalted quest has ever make it out of E3 and thus all super-long-term planning is entirely theoretical.

    Lagnauges need for coverage. Chinese and Japanese if we can't get them as one. English or rather all of Germanics if we can. Sabah's family. Romance Languages if we can do that sort of thing. That's pretty much everyhting where god gives a damn in worm. . And old realm I guess.

    Wait just notice. The training time are kinda unpossible for worm. She's too compressed. Months to build stamina when all of canon to alexandria is like three months.

    That's Wildbow's fault for being bad at pacing. I don't think Skitzy would willingly make the same mistake.

    I also don't think we're actually voting on how to react to the Sabah situation yet. It's just Lisa and XP, and until Skitzy makes a decision on training vs. purchases we should probably focus on stuff that trains immediately: WP, Caste/Favored abilities, Virtues.

    That's generally a downgrade, so why would you want to? Regardless, an Ambition 2 Solar working should be able to do that. Perfectly restoring a ghost into a mortal does clash against setting conceits though, so expect them to at a minimum be changed by the experience.

    Really, you're probably better off fixing the emotional limitations that ghosts have. Maybe jam in the power of a third circle demon while you're at it.

    Well, there is an implied hypothetical mirror. Whether it would actually be usable is a separate question, but I tend to think that it would, because the alternative is boring.

    Functional immortality is relatively trivial at that point. Abyssals also get it for free. Why change? We don't even have the horrifying default resonance rules.

    That might be true at low levels, but not so much at the high end. Solars do have certain thematic limitations, but that's what sorcery is for.

    Very true. For now we should just worry about simple things like making friends, playing with swords, cute girls, and patricide.

    Yeah. No. The Dark prince is jealous. There shall be but one dick in this relationship. And that is his. Beside Alec's been way too many places for comfort without Am.y.

    pfft Max Anders is a Nazi, Nazi's hate homosexuals and "race traitors" so having Alec as a member of our harem will piss him off and plus another dick will help us with making our girls feel better during sex like with DP and spitroasting
    Hmmm well having a Divorce Lawyer in our pocket is always useful and Emma's got a great figure so why not? Heck if we fix her issues that means we get to make a Sexual (mental) healing joke :p

    Anasurimbor I was pretty sure I'd played up her power. Really just used it as a plot device to get them to meet.

    If I do well it should get toned down for other things or take.more time to come to the correct.conclusions. or close to the correct conclusions. She can be wrong and I intend to go through a few charms to piece together how her power will actually function.

    Alex's not that pretty or interesting. The prince won't curve for less than a hideyoshi, Alec in a Bimbo , or no not a futa. Not for this prince.

    Yes you are just voting on Lisa and XP. You can write in what to say/write to Lisa.

    Johann is an old timey fascist a type personality and his opening move was basically perfect. we get pulled into his pace. You are there to get a suit and maybe a few other things. Which also dictates a few things. You have to get that suit, johann and max have to talk. Sabah has to earn her paycheck.

    You'll find out why Sabah is there and get some fitting done in the next snip. Plus some stuff about Sabah that will lead into the next vote.

    On another note I figured out how to how to use invisible text.

    That sounds like it could go entertainingly wrong. Count me in.

    Point. The hypothetical mirror would open Neverborn charms though, not Yozi charms, and every aspect of those, from details on each Neverborn to themes to general and specific charm trees, would need to be homebrewed from scratch. Not worth it IMO.

    Better reasons:

    a) Glory to the Most High forces you to eat tons and tons of Limit if you want to use it for actual long-term training. Ascendancy Mantles have much more passive tradeoffs, Cecelyne's has no drawback on a highly-populated world with religious freedom, and only TED's is truly crippling wait, shit, those are all Native. Never mind.
    b) Devil-Tigers can't get (Yozi) Cosmic Principle, though (Yozi)-Body Unity and Eternal Essence are not blocked and perhaps they could define their own versions of all three and an Ascendancy Mantle anyway? Really not sure about this.

    It's actually explicitly discussed in the Infernals splat:
    Considering that a properly-fluffed Devil-Tiger's theme is "Being oneself," that's not a major limitation.

    Yes, let's.
