Backgrounds

This page is devoted to alternate backgrounds, houseruled backgrounds, background discussions, etc.

  • back to WikiContent.

Background overhauls

Houseruled versions of canon backgrounds

People come up with new and better ways of using Exalted's backgrounds fairly frequently; here's a list of houseruled background systems.

Artifact

  • LunarHouseRules/RevisedArtifactBackground

Backing

Cult

Familiar

Manse

  • Shataina's Manse Creation System -- No one ever makes cool Manses when they take the "Manse" background; they just take cool Hearthstones and often forget about the "giant magical house" part entirely. This system, vaguely based on the Artifact creation system in "S&S", is intended to help people make interesting and fun Manses.

Mentor

Resources

New Backgrounds

  • Area Lore - Knowledge and familiarity with certain regions.
  • Bastions - a new type of Artifact-Manse hybrid designed to create lairs and ancient fortresses with vast powers in and of themselves. - Telgar
  • Disciple- A Former Flaw that I thought had potential as a background- Enchantress
  • Exposure - Your character has been exposed to facets of Creation and knows more than the layman.
  • Feature - Your character has a particular location or object that makes life easier.
  • Illumination for Cultists in Second Edition.
  • Laboratory - A Background for mortals or slumming Exalts that represents the results of mortal geomancy at work. Goes a bit against what cannon suggests mortal geomancy be capable of. - Greymane
  • Legends - The unique powers of Heroes!
  • Sorcery for Second Edition.
  • Starstriders - Owning weapons of massive size.
  • Thaumaturgy- Some encouragement for Exalts to learn the mortal arts- Enchantress
  • Weave - A raksha-only Background that starts faeries with increased shaping capability at birth. -DarkheartOne
  • Seiraryu/Wizardry - Like the Sorcery background, but stronger.
