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 mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html . It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.
>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group? Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on Veeky Forums.
>Tell me about your favorite character. An illiterate Western shaman of the Twilight Caste who hailed from a moving island populated by Fair Folk and humans who kind of but not exactly served the Fair Folk. Also the only character I've actually gotten to play, in a campaign that died after a couple of sessions.

So how many sorcerers do you think Ysyr has?
Benjamin Roberts
As we have seen time and time again, people's estimates on the number of sorcerers in Creation vary wildly. This obviously affects what seems like a reasonable number of sorcerers for Ysyr. In other words, there's no correct answer at the moment, and there won't be any kind of consensus either. That said, my version of Ysyr has dozens of sorcerers, but definitely fewer than a hundred.

Oh, an Exalted General again. How nice.
I might be blind. I might be going insane. But I can’t find any information on starting equipment for 3rd edition. How is available equipment dealt with during character generation? Just allow people to get anything they match the Resources rating for? Let people take whatever is logical for their character? Please assist.
William Green
>The Resources Merit needn’t pay for all a starting character’s mundane equipment—a destitute former soldier may retain her arms and armor, a pair of smugglers might have won their ship in a bet, or the last scion of a broke and fading noble family may own title to an ancestral manor house (albeit with no money for servants’ salaries). Characters begin play with whatever possessions are appropriate for their concepts, within reason

So I am blind. Good to know. Thank you, kind sir or madam.

A Full Moon lion totem Lunar former prince of some little shit of a city-state that got run over by the Mask of Winters when he rode Juggs through Creation on his way to turn Thorns into what it is today. Exalted for surviving the clusterfuck that was the fight. Made several allusions to Thundercats in the backstory just to see if anyone would get it. They didn't. Sad.
So then he went on to cross Creation looking like a wandering pile of shag carpeting because he wore a bunch of desert-ey clothes piled atop one another to hide his tattoo's after the Silver Pact got ahold of him and explained he'd turn to goo if they didn't scribble big moonsilver cocks all over his face and body (or whatever, not like the tattoos have ever been too uniform or anything in both description and art, ie: it's a joke ye ponces). Eventually he stumbled into an area he liked, mostly because he met a woman he began to fancy. And by "fancy", I mean "bang the bajeezus out of", who also ended up being an Infernal with delusions of grandeur. Since he was an ex-prince due to his country being, well, basically shat on, he figured, "Hey, I've got some of those too!" and promptly went about paling around with said Infernal, who he pretty much loves. Then he nearly died, got stuck in Malfeas for a while, and was rescued by the Infernal, who, shock and awe, loves him back, probably because he can shapechange and lets face it, probably enjoyed the Lunar ability to grow like 50 cocks and all that in the bedroom. I mean, theres a reason Solars kept these guys around, am I right?
Benjamin Walker
What's the state of naval technology in Creation? What are the common styles of ship and how do they carry out combat against each other?
Austin Rivera
Read Savage Seas from 1e.
Jason White
are you that lunar who got ate by a sea monster and then super tortured before the infernal came In, started a riot, stole you and called you hubby the whole time?

Dawn Caste samurai princess from Vaneha who wanted to murder her brother and lay claim to the Imperial Daiklave. The Circle wanted to unite the Hundred Kingdoms under their banner and she was fine with it so long as it meant she got that sword. She eventually became the militant arm of the Circle's expanding empire (declaring herself Demon Lord of the East for intimidation and a complete misunderstanding of what demons are) and grew from a sociopathic murder machine with no sense of right and wrong to a Goddess-to-Her-Men murder machine who struggled to balance her honor with her newfound morality.
Ian Hall
What is your favourite shaping ritual? Is there a list of custom ones somewhere?
Jason Collins
Okay so by taking the charms you can choose/create a shaping ritual? How does that work in story? And you can gain shaping rituals for doing shaping ritual worthy things in story? But doing that without having the charms to initiate you won't initiate you into the Circle?
Logan Moore
Is adamantium not a thing in 3e? Or was that Autochthon only thing?
Oliver Scott
I think that you needed the catalyst of the ritual before you are allowed to actually get the charm, so depending on the gm it could be played out or could be a down time thing. So if you do something ritual worthy like breaking the rules of reality to cut a swallow without having the charm it would do nothing but you would have something primed if you grab the charm.
Ian Cruz
>Is adamantium not a thing in 3e?
It never was. Adamant was though, and what it does has depended on the edition. In 1E it was fragile shit that had little use, in 2E it was hard as fuck. 3E...Who knows?
Justin Gonzalez
So, what's the general opinion on The Tomb of Dreams? Worth a read?
Kevin Barnes
CRAFTING SORCEROUS RELICS While a character may gain Talisman of Ten Thousand Eyes at character creation by learning one of its shaping rituals, rather than investing dots in the Artifact background, it is still a four-dot artifact, as are any other relics of comparable sorcerous power. A character attempting to craft such a wonder must first design the perfect shape of a relic to channel mystical energies. This is an Ambition 1 working of the Celestial Circle. If the sorcerous working succeeds, the character may then begin crafting the artifact using the usual rules (p. 241), unlocking one of its shaping rituals for free upon completion. If the working fails, then the design is intrinsically flawed, and the sorcerer may not attempt to recreate it again without some source of inspiration for a new design.
>Crafting Sorcerous relics is a Sorcerous Working
Dominic Green
I'm currently running a group through a modified version of it. It seems okay, I guess if you're experienced with the system it might be kinda boring but the three characters in it could be poached or used for inspiration.
Charles Scott
Guys guys, I just had the *coolest* idea for my own special exalt type! See, they're all about freedom and hate fate so they use fate powers just like sidereals, except they use them to attack the loom of fate for freedom instead of forcing people to obey it like jerks and they don't show up in the loom themselves because they're free and can do whatever they want and pattern spiders live inside them and help them do magic! They're so freaking epic!

I mean you could do that kind of explanation for any exalt

Early 1e adamant was described as being kind of like magical glass. By the time the Autochthonians made the scene, it referred to magical diamond, which was on par with orichalcum, jade, etc.
Let's not fill the thread up with low-quality bait.

>Exigents are being pushes back until Lunars are finished.
Now if we can get them to throw out Exigents altogether we'll be set.
Blake Lewis
Hey folks, I'm starting up a campaign set in the Southeast Dreaming Sea region. Since these threads are often a pretty great source for awesome art, does anyone happen to have artwork I can use for darker skinned NPCs?
Asher Hughes
>mentioned explicitly in the core book >getting thrown out
Asher Butler
Remember that time Alchemicals looked like Autobots?
Remember that time Fae were Creatures of Darkness?
Remember that time the Incarnae knew the Great Curse was coming, so built a shield to deflect it?
Remember when there was a Dragonblooded Infernal?
Etc, etc. Tons of shit in Exalted has been tossed out as time went on. It'd be a blessing for the setting if Exigents were too. Making Exaltions less special should never be a thing.

Lets see what I can dig up. Most of it might be delicious brown, though.

One of my favorites despite the robot arm. I just tell people to imagine he has both regular arms. Or not. Depends what I use it for.
Xavier Evans
And now we're about to go balls deep into delicious brown territory, since my shit ends up somewhat alphabetical, and I've got a bunch of shit under "Anubis" thanks to an egyptian -themed game in Exalted.
Cameron Hill

And yeah, I had eye candy pics for both male and female players. Because everyone gets some eye candy.

Whoops, skipped one.

Everything posted so far has been great, thanks. The region seems to be a mixture of Middle Eastern, Indian, and African influences, so anything other than Asian or Caucasian (which unfortunately is most of what my own art go to sources consist of) would fit.

Tyler Thomas
Hey, that's definitely plenty!
Thank you so much for taking the time to pick these out from your stash. It's going to be a really big boost to my game that I'll be able to pull out an appropriate pic for major NPCs, and depending on what players come up with for their characters, I might even be able to loan one or two. I know it took a bit of time to sift through and post what fit what I was asking for, and I definitely appreciate it.
Luke Morris
No problem. Good luck with your game. Also, found another.
...My folder isn't exactly well organized.
Carson Morales
And shit, here's another.
Luke Perry
...Ok, maybe I had a few more, let me keep digging. I obviously passed over some.
Owen Murphy
>DFONinja
Correct term is "Silver Moon" IIRC
Eli Hill
I never played Thief in the game anyway.
Jose Reyes
The Silver Moon and Necromancer classes are shit.
The Kunoichi and Blood Dancer are pretty fucking strong. I actually kinda wanted to make a thrown weapon evocation set based around the Kunoichi's abilities.
