    The Heroic Dead

    I was just curious if anyone has ever played a game as one of the heroic dead and how that worked out for you.  I've never done that particular experiemnt before and I'm thinking about doing that for my next game, assuming that I can find anyone willing in this area.  I haven't had a game for...

    A Ninth Nation?

    I was looking through Autochthonians and I was thinking how strange it was that in almost five millennia, the Autochthonians had not formed a Ninth Nation, one not founded by the Eight Heroes.  Of course, it could be that the Divine Ministers did not want such a thing to exist, so they did not...

    Cyborgs in Exalted

    I am trying to figure out a way to introduce magitech cyborgs into the world of Exalted.  Before you all scream Alchemical Exalted, remember that cyborgs are a fusion of a living creature with a mechanical device, not a fusion of a human soul with a golem, so an Alchemical Exalted doesn't quite...

    The World of Dreams

    The World of Dreams has been only briefly mentioned in the Exalted books.  It is mentioned in the Time of Tumult in relationship to one of its adventures, in the Player Guide in relation to the Pearl Courtesan Style and a sentence or two in the other books.  One wonders what it is, what...

    Truly Ancient Dragon-Blooded

    It seems to me that the Dragon-Blooded have the ability to live as long as the Celestial Exalted.  They have access to Hearthstones, the Gem of Immortality and the Gem of Incomparable Wellness to name two, that stop aging altogether.  There are Artifacts that raise Stamina and/or Resistance...

    Mortal Martial Art Styles

    I have this posted as an article waiting for approval, but it is taking awhile because of the holidays, so I wanted to let you all put in your two cents.  Here it is: Background Information: The Mortal Martial Arts are meant to be a compliment to the 1E and 2E Supernatural Martial Arts...

    Dragon King Spirits

    When the Contagion hit, the Dragon Kings nearly went extinct.  They went from a population of several million to a population of several tens of thousands and have not recovered their population since.  The Dragon Kings spirit are, however, a Primordial creation and are therefore only the...

    Martial Art Book

    Has anyone read the new book on martial arts?  I was wondering if it had much new or if it was rehashing a lot of the old supernatural martial art styles.  Also, who easy would it be to convert those supernatural martial art styles to 1E.

    Lone Wolf

    I was wondering if anyone here if a fan of the Lone Wolf books by Joe Dever.  I was wondering this because I was thinking of converting the Kai abilities into something that mortals could learn and I was wondering if anyone had any idea of how to go about it.  If you are unfamiliar, go to...

    Thaumaturgy

    A quick question before I spend money on anything from the 2nd edition because no one around here seems to carry it.  Do they mention thaumaturgy in 2nd edition?  If they do, is it better, worse or the same as it was in 1st edition?

    Vessel of the Gods

    This is an amusing little power that I developed last night.  I was sort of wondering what you'll thought of it.  It is part of a category of mortal powers that I refer to as Disciplines.  Disciplines are related to either a specific Virtue, Attribute or Ability.  Disciplines cost 8...

    Advanced Combat System

    I have created an Advanced Combat System that will allow mortals and Exalted both to exceed their basic potential in combat.  There are three parts to it: Combat Styles, Combat Stances and Combat Techniques.  I am posting the complete rules in the articles, but I will post the example...

    Psionics in Exalted (revisited)

    I was wondering who was the one who had Neantherthals developing a psionic civilization?  I was wondering because I was thinking of introducing a psionic, pre-human civilization under the deserts of the South who come out of hiding with the disturbances created by the Autochtonians, and I...

    Dragon King Artifacts

    How would you'll go about creating artifacts that duplicate the powers of the Dragon King Paths.  I tend to treat each Path level as if it were a Charm with the same minimum Essence requirement, as DK Paths are, quite frankly, less powerful than Solar Charms of the same Essence, this does seem...

    Psionics in Exalted

    How would one go about introducing psychic abilities for mortals in Exalted?  They had them in WoD and I was wondering if it could be made backwards compatible, perhaps by linking them to the Virtues.  On a related question, would the Shih Paths be out of the question?

    Input of Siti Path Article

    Anyone read my article on the Siti Paths?  I would really like some constructive and/or critical input.

    Siti Paths

    The Siti are mortals who seek to emulate the power of the Gods by following the teachings of the first Siti, Virran Tallon, a mortal who was a learned scholar during the reign of the Dragon Kings.  The first Siti believed that mortal spirits were capable of reaching godhood with sufficient...

    The God-Slaying Arts

    During the First Age, the Yozis seethed with anger.  So great was their anger that they sought to destroy the very fabric of the Celestial Hierarchy that they themselves had created and the Exalts who supported those Gods.  Impotent it their fury, they sought to create a way for rebellious...

    Paths of the (Martial Art)

    The Paths of the (Martial Art) are a near infinite variety of Paths designed to allow the Practitioner to channel Essence more efficiently than normal for one Supernatural Martial Arts Path of the Terrestrial or Celestial level only.  They were designed during the First Age by the Solars to...

    Mortal Paths of the Spirit

    During the Primordial Age, before the Exalted were ever a gleam in Autochtons eye, the Dragon Kings ruled the Threshold.  When they were given dominion over mortals, they were at a loss at what to do with them.  Some of them developed thaumaturgy but, while effective, it was not that...
