Oct 4, 2011 at 21:23 comment added sebsmith @JimKiley Yes and no. There first excellency is crap with this, since it's identical to the spirit first excellency; however, since their second can add essence success, it's twice as good as the spirit one. In fact, the second excellency compares reasonably well to solar excellencies once you remember that it can add success regardless of how large the base pool is. Further, their fateful excellency is amazing for larger pools, like those used attacking.

Oct 4, 2011 at 12:45 comment added Jim Kiley I'm pretty sure you're right on this. Of course this brings up another point, which is: Having it be Essence is a real hose to Sidereals. And since my wife is running the Sid in our group I may be a touch more generous... :-)

Oct 4, 2011 at 3:21 comment added Cthos Yes, it doubles the unmodified pool, but that's not capped by anything. Which makes the effective dice cap for that roll 20. Plus it's not Combo-Ok, so you can't use another charm to up the pool.
Oct 4, 2011 at 3:15 comment added Jim Kiley Well that isn't entirely true; right off the bat there's a Martial Arts charm in Violet Bier of Sorrows style that doubles the character's Join Battle roll. That's a dice adder and isn't an Excellency.
