Frankly, it’s wasted space as the chapter titles themselves are self explanatory.Ĭhapter Three The Sidereal Exalted 20 pages.Ĭhapter Four The Abyssal Exalted 36 pages. This is just a very basic introduction to the book, laying out what each chapter will cover. The system is easy and fun, though I wish there were even more options. This could be anything from warring boroughs to political maneuvering between empires. The Appendix contains complete rules for the Mandate of Heaven mini-game, which plays in a similar manner to normal Exalted combat but between geopolitical entities. Even if those products were currently available, these lists will speed quick NPC generation which is a huge asset to any Exalted Storyteller. This includes major NPCs, commonly used abilities, tactics by Caste, and abbreviated lists of Charms to allow Storytellers to go ahead and use those types of Exalted before later products are released. The Storyteller’s Companion presents additional, but basic, information on all the different types of Exalted.
#2ND EDITION EXALTED CHARACTER GENERATOR FULL#
A full character sheet is presented for the Mandate of Heaven mini-game where players take on the role of various geopolitical entities. No index is present, though the way the topics are grouped one isn’t needed. The standard two column layout is present in this book, which creates a nice layout. It tends to be dull and uninspiring, and there isn’t a lot of it.
For $24.99 a black and white presentation is certainly reasonable, the art tends to be below average in quality. This 160 page softcover book showcases below average production values. Newcomers to Exalted will find this to be an excellent book for quickly creating and understanding other types of Exalted, though only in the form of a rough outline. Those who already own the 1E “fatsplats” know everything that is presented here and could likely do just as well with a rough guess at how older charms translate to 2nd edition. The capabilities of the various Exalted are likely to be replaced by future products. On the downside, a lot of the information presented here is very basic. However, many readers will be more interested in the excellent Mandate of Heaven rules, allowing players and/or characters to take control of entire nations and give input to the game’s current story arc. This makes the book a fantastic resource for Storytellers who want to speed up NPC generation. Abbreviated charms and a general overview of the powers of the Lunars, Sidereal, Abyssals, and Dragonblooded are presented.
The Storyteller’s Companion for Exalted 2nd Edition provides an excellent overview of all the different types of Exalted for the Storyteller who wants to know more about them mechanically.
