One problem in Storyteller games trying to deal with information and lore is that players are uncertain how much their characters can know about a given subject without breaking IC limits and the ST simply doesn't have time to tell them EVERYTHING their character knows.

One problem in Storyteller games trying to deal with information and lore is that players are uncertain how much their characters can know about a given subject without breaking IC limits and the ST simply doesn't have time to tell them EVERYTHING their character knows. So, a simple system is needed to determine what your characters know and what they don't. I have broken down the various books of the Exalted Line into Lore Req Points.
Every dot in Lore gives you two Lore Points which may be spent on knowing the information in these books.
Core Splats
- Solar - 1 LP for anyone
- Dragon-Blooded - 1 LP for DBs and Realmers, 2 for anyone else
- Abyssal - 1 LP for Abyssals and Ghosts, 2 for anyone else.
- Lunar - 1 LP for Lunars and Barbarians, 2 for anyone else.
- Sidereal - 1 LP for Sidereals, Gods and Elementals, 4 for Celestials, 5 for anyone else.
- Fair Folk - 1 LP for Fair Folk and Changelings, 3 for anyone else.
- Alchemical - 1 LP for Alchemicals and Autocthonians, 4 for anyone else.
- Player's Guide - Special
- Half-Bloods - 3 for Exalted and Spirits, 5 for anyone else (God-Blooded information is 2 for anyone).
- Dragon-Kings - 2 for Dragon-Kings and Rathess Natives, 5 for anyone else
Setting Books
- Scavenger Sons - 1 LP
- Kingdom of Halta - 2 LP
- Houses of the Bull God - 2 LP
- Savage Seas - 2 LP
- Blood and Salt - 2 LP
- Outcastes - 3 LP
- Ruins of Rathess - 5 LP
Note: Natives to a setting area reduce LP cost by 2, to a minimum of 1.
Other Books
- Manacle and Coin - 2 LP (Guild specific info is 4, 2 for Guildsmen)
- Creatures of the Wyld - 3 LP, 2 for Lunars
- Book of Three Circles - 3 LP
- Savant and Sorcerer - 3 LP
- Minor Splatbooks - 3 LP
Comments
I like this idea, but how does one increase your lore point pool without getting more lore? Say you had maxed your lore out. A solar or another exalted should be able to exceed the normal limits, its what exalted do.
Specialties would count as dots. And you could make a Charm or something. Or just buy Lore Points for XP. Like 1 XP per point or something. Dunno. - Telgar
