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.

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.


Resources


New Backgrounds

  • Bastions - a new type of Artifact-Manse hybrid designed to create lairs and ancient fortresses with vast powers in and of themselves. - Telgar
  • Weave - A raksha-only Background that starts faeries with increased shaping capability at birth. -DarkheartOne
  • Disciple- A Former Flaw that I thought had potential as a background- Enchantress
