>What is Exalted? An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them. Start here: theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it? Read the 3e core book (link below). For the basics of combat, read this tutorial. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics. forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?769761-Exalted-3E-Combat-301.
>How do I find a group? Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on Veeky Forums. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up.
>What's with the slow release schedule? Onyx Path is run by raksha who have only a vague concept of human time. Expect Sidereals in 2020.
Does Integrity have the most boring Ability description of them all?
>The faerie queen’s eyes were pinpoints of light, colorful stars scattered carelessly across the swirling darkness of her countenance. These eyes surveyed Lance of Starfallen Justice as he entered her boudoir, with a polite nod to his salamander-headed guide. The warrior’s polished orichalcum hauberk was as splendid as his bearing, and the constellation of the queen’s eyes could see the tongues of fire that burnt in his soul—surely a man to be tempted by power and glory. With a wave she called up gossamer marvels from her treasure vaults: a mirror that whispered profound and terrible wisdoms; an ewer styled as a dragon’s head that held liquid immortality; a black diamond that could beckon forth countless hobgoblin servants. Lance of Starfallen Justice regarded her display politely, as he took a seat to negotiate for the souls of the villagers imprisoned in her palace. “No thank you, fair lady.”

Would a beastman that Exalted as a Dragon-blood be allowed to enter Realm society, or would they be told to fuck off due to being Wyld-tainted?
James Peterson
So what's the state of 3e? I haven't had a chance to try it but from what I've heard it's just as much of a cluster fuck as 2e was. Should I bother learning something other than 2.5?
Ryan Reyes
In fairness, it's kind of difficult to depict resisting an argument, offer or deal in a dramatic manner, especially in only 15 words.
Depends on how beastly they are and how pure their breeding is, those are likely to be inversely related anyway. More importantly, can any of the 11 houses make use of the beastman or take him in to deny other houses using him?
Leaps and bounds better than anything that came before it, but that's not a high bar to jump over. Check out combat, sorcerous workings, Martial Arts, and Evocations if you want to see some reasons to switch over. If you would rather have a reason to declare Ex3 as the worst edition ever and that no one should ever play it. Look at Craft.
Christopher Carter
>Evocations >Craft Ehhhhhh, personally I'm not of a mind that exalts needed even more options for what they can do, and I never crafted anything in 2.X, I never learned those rules, so I couldn't appreciate the difference.
Andrew Martinez
The worst problems are how the devs refuse to answer rules questions. We have to argue about them here and at the table. Here's one: if you and I act on the same tick and we attack each other, normally we'd Clash. Well, what if you use Iron Whirlwind and I make a single normal attack? What happens?
Samuel Cruz
I don't disagree with you about the issues with the devs, but what's ambiguous about that specific example? You resolve the attack on the same initiative as a Clash and the remainder as regular attacks at the initiatives chosen for Iron Whirlwind.
Joshua Taylor
Huh? That's not how Iron Whirlwind works. All the attacks occur at the same time, on the tick you act. The initiative you assign to them is only done for the damage they do. It doesn't change when the attacks happen.
