Synodic Exaltation

Similar in its basic nature to the conversion of a Solar to an Abyssal, the Exaltation of a Synodic differs in several vital ways. The Sidereal to become a Synodic does not have to foreswear his former powers or assosciations. Newly converted Synodic Exalted are still able to use their Sidereal Charms and Sidereal Astrology, they even retain their original Anima Abilities.

The power of the Dark Lords is not enough to completely over-write an Exaltation as the Abyssal conversion does, they are only able to graft their powers onto the Sidereal's existing abilities.

PAGE STILL IN PROGRESS

    • The ability to learn all Dark Charms at out-of-caste costs, even if they are in the same caste as you have been tainted by.
    • A simple ritual taking 5 minutes and requiring an Int + Occult roll (difficulty 1 per target) that allows you to summon one of the minor gods in service to your Lord.
    • Normal Essence regeneration within the Underworld and Shadowlands.
    • Can buy Underworld Astrology Colleges at non-Maiden prices.
    • All Heavenly backgrounds are reduced to 1 or removed upon discovery of the tainting. This includes Salary, Connections, Celestial Manse and possibly Allies, Contacts and Mentor. The last three can be roleplayed for higher rates of post-taint retainment.
    • A version of the Whispers background that allows you to contact your Lord or Ouranos instead of the collective Malfean whole. Same rules as for Abyssals.
    • Mentor at 4. This indicates the active interest your Lord takes in you.
      • An additional background, Thrall, exists. Ratings in Thrall represent a negative relationship with your Lord, higher ratings indicate that he is displeased with you and keeps you on a short leash. A rating of 1 indicates a good relationship, where as 5 indicates slavery in an Abyssal manner.
    • Backing from the Underworld Spirits or Gods that serve your Lord. This background also gives a certain amount of respect from servants of the Malfeans such as Deathlords, Abyssal Exalted and Nephwracks. Unintelligent servants are not affected. This rating is 3.
