New page

I was going to start by writing a setting. Then I remembered something; I
can't do that sober. So I'm going to start by writing rules modifications
first. Anyone that cares to write an addendum is welcome to; I'll be
archiving all subsequent posts, and when it's all done with, I'll probably
send it in to the Exalted Compendium or something. Maybe make a web
supplement for Back to The Exalted Future. Addendums are DEFINITELY wanted
for Dragon-Bloods; I lack the book, so they're entirely ignored here.

Cybernetics are handled as Autocthonian Charms. but we don't have the
Alchemical book yet, and I don't have ToT, so that section is remaining
blank. To just gloss over it, any mortal can get the Autocthonian Charms up
to Essence Requirement 2. Essence Requirement 1 Charms cost Resources 3, and
Essence Requirement 2 Charms cost Resources 4. All Charms cost double
Essence to activate. Resources 3 can buy an Essence Battery that stores up
to 20 motes, Resources 4 can store up to 30 motes, and Resources 5 can store
up to 40 motes.

Exalted beings can learn any Autocthonian charms, so long as they meet the
requirements of the Charms. However, they still pay double essence. Night
Castes still have the advantage here - they pay 1.5x the Essence cost,
rounded down.

Weapons (Note: Even people WITH true close-range shooting, find it VERY
difficult to hit in a firefight. Classic WW rules don't cover this; these
do. However, given Exalted's MASSIVE dice pools, Exalted still pull off John
Woo-style cinematics, but mortals suck with guns. as is appropriate, I
think):

Modes of Fire:

Single - Shot: As normal

Three-Round Burst (capable only with fully automatic weapons): -1 accuracy,
+5 damage. Subtract 3 from remaining Rate for the round. Subtract three
rounds of ammo.

Full-Auto (capable only with fully automatic weapons): -2 accuracy, +10 raw
damage. Remaining rate for round exhausted, clip emptied.

Double-Tap (capable only with semi-auto pistols, requires two actions): +2
accuracy, +1 damage. (Effectively, this turns two attacks at -2 and -3 pools
into one attack at normal pool, and -1. Only capable against one foe, and
takes effect in the same init slot).

Now, then, the meaty parts. Charms.

Our Solar friends stay essentially the same, so I'm just listing adjusted
charms.

Archery now equates to Firearms

Wise Arrow - now adds to Dexterity + Archery dice pool

There Is No Wind - When used, any bad ammunition works (Wet magazines,
scratched barrels, etc. will not adversely affect the shot)

Trance of Unhesitating Speed - May be used beyond a gun's Rate rating, but
can not exceed Clip (ammo doesn't just mysteriously appear).

Arrow Storm Technique - cannot be used with Full-Auto fire.

Dazzling Flare Attack: Can be fired straight upwards to act as a flare, but
it is small and moves very quickly; doesn't make much of a flare. Further,
due to the charm's tendency to make the shot /very/ straight, one would
recommend stepping aside after shooting it straight up.

Phantom Arrow Technique - Remains the same. Requires motes = gun's clip
rating, to mimic Full- Auto.

Solar Spike - Unchanged. If gun's range is greater than Solar Spike's range,
Solar Spike loses its magical bonuses after that range, and hits as a normal
bullet.

Immaculate Golden Bow - Conjures a heavy pistol instead of a bow. Does
damage equal to Dexterity + Essence, and has a range of 60 yards. May expend
double the cost of motes to form two guns at once, for dual-hand use.

Firearms Charm:
John Woo Special
Cost: 8 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Firearms: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Trance of Unhesitating Speed

The character's Essence becomes symmetrical, and then splits
into two new waves of energy; the gunman can now fire a weapon independently
in each hand, without penalization.

This charm violates the laws of Combos; it allows for up to two
Extra Action charms to be activated in one round. However, each Extra Action
charm affects /only one gun/. Each Action considers each gun to be a
separate entity. For instance, while Trance of Unhesitating Speed charges
twice the total number of attacks the character has made, using John Woo
Special, the Trance will only count the total number of attacks made /using
the gun it affects/. The other gun can not make any additional attacks
beyond it's base 1, unless the character again pays the activation cost for
Trance of Unhesitating Speed for that gun.

Resistance

Poison-Resisting Meditation - affects street drugs. The character is
essentially invulnerable to any sorts of OD's (may roll reflexively if the
high gets out of control), though he does not have to roll at the beginning,
and so may still get wasted.

Larceny

Lock-Opening Touch - also disables house alarms.

Ride

Master Horseman's Eye - Also works on cars and other vehicular
transportation (including planes).

Horse Summoning Whistle - This charm allows the user to build a device into
his car (commit 3 motes). As normal, he can summon his car to his location
at any time(For the additional cost of the normal 3 motes). There need not
be any committed motes if the car has an AI, the Charm can be used (normal
mote expenditure) to summon the car silently.

Phantom Steed - summons up a Corvette.

Spirit-Steadying Assurances - The car no longer suffers adverse affects from
things like oil slicks, fires, etc.

Steed-Sustaining Method - The car becomes heavily resistant against
mechanical problems, oils does not need to be replaced, and gas consumption
is reduced to a fourth of what it usually is, for the duration of the Charm.

Horse-Healing Technique - Spending a scene repairing his car, the character
can take care of most mechanical problems, and restore health levels as
normal for the charm.

Flawless Partnership Meditation - Essence bonus to jump, rear, and other
performance tricks remains. Other bonuses are not applicable.

Flashing Thunderbolt Steed - the car never needs to have oil changed, gas
refilled, wiper fluid refilled, etc. while the charm is in effect.

Twilight Caste, new Ability: Computers

.Someone else feel free to come up with this one. I suck at making up
charms.

Lunar Exalted Changes

The poison that chokes the world is one born of darkness and
uncontrollable mutation; both of which are forces that the ancient mates of
the Solar Exalted have always been adept at handling.

While those that have had their Caste fixed need not worry about
the poison polluting the air, the fact is that there are very no Lunar
Exalted left still capable of fixing another's Caste appropriately, for all
Exalted have been erased millions of years past.

Only two thousand eons ago, not at all a long time in the
history of the Lunar Exalted, the tide of the world changed against them.
And so, one great Lunar and his reborn Solar mate - both of whom had great
master of the Solar Circle of Sorcery, the former through the use of an
artifact, the latter through natural facility - cast a great spell, that
would last upon all the lineages of Lunar Exalted, until the end of time.
And that spell said that the sign of the moon under which the Lunar was
born, would dictate his caste, forever after. A few of the Lunar Exalted are
born with shreds of memory within them, a few even with the lost secrets of
the lesser Sorceries.

Now that they've begun reincarnating, they do what they always
have - adapt and thrive. The world, in its wallowing pit of darkness and
disorder is a welcome home to them, and they've little doubt that they can
restore light to the world.

Quite a bit of arrogance, given that none of them knows how few
are truly left. Few even know what they are, save for nightmares that
occasionally slip through their minds.

~~ The fun part: CRUNCHY BITS ~~

The Lunar Exalted don't really like them there cybernetic
implants. Implants are simply too static for their protean ways. Any Lunar
that tries to get an implant put in inflicts upon the doctor a +3
difficulty.

Further, if at any time the Lunar attempts to shift, the implant is
destroyed, and the body suffers 1 HL Lethal damage (unsoakable, save with
Charms).

The only to avoid this is to get implants forged of Moon silver. These are -
obviously - rare, even if one has friends on Autochthon. If, however, the
Lunar manages to get a hold of such a thing, and commits the necessary
Essence, he will not have any problems with shifting with an implant.

--Charm Changes and Addendums-

Ranged Combat (all Bow-specific charms now aid in firearms, as adjudicated
with /common sense/)

Finding The Needle's Eye - at +3 mote cost, when used against bullets.

Arrow-Breaking Shot - see above.

Arrow-Shaping Method - This can not be done with guns that utilize a clip
exclusively, but works just fine with revolvers, or weapons that allow
bullets to be loaded directly into the chamber.

Bow-Bending Method - not applicable
