Dragon-Blooded rules

Backgrounds

Artifact- Dragon-Blooded can obtain minor wonders with relative ease, the Terrestrial of the Realm and Lookshy often acquire fanciful exaltation gifts that require essence to wield. Meanwhile Outcaste Dragon-Blooded have little difficulty acquiring small artifacts either as a payment for services or through less lawful means.
X- none.
1- 2 dots of artifact. A pair of 1 dot artifacts.
2- 4 dots of artifact. Two of which must be 1 dot artifacts.
3- 6 dots of artifact. Three of which must be 1 dot artifacts.
4- 8 dots of artifact. Four of which must be 1 dot artifacts.
5- 10 dots of artifact. Five of which must be 1 dot artifacts.
If the player desires multiple artifact backgrounds - other instances work exactly as detailed on Exalted page 111 with no further bonuses.

Mentor- A Dragon-Blooded with Mentor 3 (or greater) may choose to start play with Celestial Martial Art Charms. These are more difficult to learn than Terrestrial Martial Arts or native Dragon-Blooded. For the purposes of charm selection they are not considered to belong to an Aspect or a Favoured ability.

Command: The Command background may not exceed the exalt's rating in Backing and the loyalty of the commanded troops is dependent upon the status of said Backing.

Experience

Non-Favoured Charm (12 experience points)
Favoured Charm (10 experience points)
