Familiars
- I love Sol Invictus to death and base most all things I create on it... but I wish to create a different paradigm for Familiars across Solars and Abyssals, one that is more complete and easily expandable. Those Charms are initially based upon the Sol Invictus ones but expand on them significantly.
Glorious Golden Companion
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Survival: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Tied Pet
The character has developed an incredibly close bound with her Familiar, letting her pass to it the essence of pure excellence! The Exalt receives twice her Permanent Essence in points, which she may distribute between the creature's Attributes. The Exalt may further increase the Familiar's Attributes from that point onward by paying 4 Experience Points per dot added to its Attributes, but may not enhance any one of the Beast's Attributes by more than her Essence rating+1. Increases to Intelligence make the animal more clever, but not intelligent in a human way. The Familiar becomes able to heal like an Exalt, soak lethal damage with half its stamina if it did not already, and increases its natural lethal and bashing soak by the Exalt's highest Virtue.
Heaven Wisdom Training
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Survival: 5
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Glorious Golden Companion
Normal animal handlers can teach them to do a myriad different tricks. A Solar handler can teach her Familiar to be twice as learned as a savant, twice as tactical a fighter as a general! The character has developed such a bound to her Familiar, and such a skill in handling and imparting wisdom to animals, that she is able to increase its knowledge a thousandfold! The Familiar becomes intelligent and cultured as a human if it was not already, able to communicate through signs and gestures as a human would, distributing twice the Exalt's Permanent Essence in points between its Abilities. New Abilities may be added from scratch. The Exalt may further increase the Familiar's Abilities from that point onward by paying 1 Experience Point per dot added to its Abilities, which may not exceed the character's maximum.
Golden Soul Familiar
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Survival: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Heaven Wisdom Training
Binding their souls as one, the Solar imparts her companion with the golden essence that courses through her veins, awakening its Essence and power! The animal's eyes glow golden, its legend and enlightement growing a thousandfold. The Familiar enhanced by Golden Soul Prana receives...
- ... a Permanent Essence equal to the character's Permanent Essence minus one.
- ... an Essence Pool equal to (character's Permanent Essence x10).
- ... a single Solar Charm, two if its Familiar Rating is 3, three if it is 5.
The Solar may buy more Charms for the Familiar at the rate of 4 Experience Points apiece. The Charms imparted upon the Familiar require their pre-requisites, as usual. The Solar may teach a Familiar whose anatomy is applicable Martial Arts Charms, but those must be known to the Solar and imparted upon the Familiar with training, but at the same Experience Cost for the Solar as imparting a Solar Charm upon his Familiar would have. If the Familiar had no defined Virtues and Willpower, distribute 6 points between its Virtues, and add one to the resulting Willpower.
