-[http://www.frivschool.org/ Friv] - Well, if you're going attribute-based, might I inquire about the patron a bit more? I once read a nice discussion of how attribute-based exalts were generally primordially-involved, and ability-based ones were celestially involved. Something along the lines that Alchemicals were entirely primordial-based, while Lunars, arguably a cross-breed of Luna and Gaia, have both some favored attributes and some favored abilities. It's always resonated well with me, due to the nature of both types. Something to consider, at least. As for hang-and-release effects, I might also mention a significant lack of scene-longs. Something more along the lines of the ability to use multiple charms per turn (perhaps like the Terrestrials, perhaps not), such that they maintain their charms by burning through essence, rather than simply fire-and-forget. Done right, there's a fine line as each turn you decide which protections and bonuses you need at a given moment. Just some thoughts that might help you out - or not! -- [[GreenLantern]]

 : While the Attribute and Ability split is a neat theory, there is a major hole in it - the Dragon-Blooded. The Terrestrials are based entirely on the Five Dragons, which are souls of Gaia. I think the better idea is that Ability-based Exalts are those based on skill, while Attribute-based Exalts are based on power. If that makes sense. Solars, Dragon-Bloods, and Sidereals are designed to be increasingly ineffable, specializing into areas. Lunars and Alchemicals are much more likely to be generalists.
 : I like the lack of scene-lengths as a fundament, even if it really messes with them. I was thinking of the hang-and-release as how Cometaries mainly get around Charm limits; by mixing those with instant effects, they have the ability to blast through effects and then they tap out. - [[FrivYeti]]

 Along the lines of the Hang and Release charm, perhaps this could be their unique excellency. (like terrestrial reenforcement / essence auspicious / ability flow / and the lunar one I can't remember atm)

 ::I'm not sure I could get behind that entirely. As a basic charm, you're burning the willpower for what seems like one strike, and that's that. Many of the other 'uniques' all have much more lengthy effects. I'd wonder if perhaps allowing you to bleed off the points over time wouldn't be a smoother mechanic - essentially making a pool that you can draw from. Given the 'hang-and-release' nature Friv speaks of, in which you hang and release ''once'', the unique would then allow you to release multiple times, giving you a bit of a burn-time. Just my thoughts - no harm intended. -- GL
 :::Actually, essence auspicious for the siddies costs a willpower to turn all the dice to successes.  so I don't think costing a willpower is beyond reason.  Also, given their role in the Exalted line of battle, I think that a single use could still work since they could withdraw back behind friendly lines after exhausting their resources.  However, letting them hang multiple copies of "Spectacular 'Attribute' Impact" could work well I suspect. -- Rathmun
