Celestial Talents

Celerity Talents

Celerity Talents vary slightly from Celestial to Celestial. Lunars and Chimerae have a wilder Level 2 Talent and a weaker Level 3 Celerity Talent. These must be taken for the relevant Ability.

Level 1: Make a roll at your full pool without using your dice action, up to a number of extra actions equal to your Essence in a turn. You may not split your die pool with this Talent.

This costs 2 motes per action for Passive actions, and is Reflexive: Instant
This costs 3 motes per action for Active actions, and is Extra Action: Instant.

Level 2: (Solars, Abyssals, and Sidereals) For 5 motes, you may, for the remainder of the Turn, make any sort of one-action Passive roll with this Ability whenever it is appropriately called for, without actually taking an action. Reflexive, Instant.
Level 2: (Lunars and Chimerae) Subtract up to your Essence from the penalty for splitting your dice action during the turn. This can in no way leave you with a bonus.

This costs 1 mote per penalty subtracted. Reflexive, Instant.

Level 3: (Solars, Abyssals, and Sidereals) For 5 motes and one Willpower, you may, for the remainder of the Scene, make any sort of one-action Passive roll with this Ability whenever it is appropriately called for, without actually taking an action. Simple, One Scene.
Level 3: (Lunars and Chimerae) For 5 motes and one Willpower, you may, once per Turn for the remainder of the Scene, make any sort of one-action Passive roll with this Ability whenever it is appropriately called for, without actually taking an action. Simple, One Scene.

Level 4: For 7 motes and one Willpower, you may, once per Turn for the remainder of the Scene, make one die-action Active roll with this Ability whenever you are able, without using your die action. Simple, One Scene.

Lore

Abyssals call this Talent Essence Engorgement Technique. Solars call it the Sun's Eternal Gift, Lunars the Moon's Fickle Blessing, Chimerae Strength from the Wyld, and Sidereals the Stars Ever Shine.

Abyssals can only recover this pool by drinking blood. Chimerae by eating dreams (as a Raksha). Solars only recover this pool under the light of the Sun, and Lunars only under the light of the Moon (though it works even during a New Moon). Sidereals only recover this pool by using their Essence Replenishment Charms while in Yu Shan.

Might

Natural

Abyssals call it Blood Feasting Technique, Solars call it Sun's Bounty, Lunar's Moon Feast, Chimerae call it Feast of Dreams, and Sidereals call it Drink from the Stars. The effect is always similar, however.

The character no longer needs food to live. Depending on the type of Exalt, she may subsist on nothing more than the means supplied by her patron. Abyssals must drink a number of Health Levels of Blood per day equal to their Permanent Essence, Chimerae must drain a like amount of Willpower per day. Solars must spend a number of hours under the light of the Sun (which may be reflected) per day equal to their Permanent Essence, and Lunar's likewise under the Moon's light (regardless of cloud cover or phase of the moon). Sidereals receive similar sustenance while in Yu Shan.
