Essence

Essence has undergone some basic changes. It's a far more visible Attribute, adding to health levels and movement speed for all characters as well as dodge rolls.

It is also far more expensive. See /Advancement for costs. The crippling nature of this expendature is intentional. There is no rule for how long a character must be Exalted in order to attain a certain Essence level (But see the guidelines below). Literally, when they are ready to devote the time to it, they are able to grow. Celestial Exalted can naturally reach lofty heights of power extremely quickly.

Outside of a Manse or Demesne, most characters receive Essence at a rate equal to their permanent Essence in motes per hour. Mortals require the Essence Recovery Merit to recover Essence at this rate, otherwise they merely gain 1 mote per hour. This doubles while meditating.

  • Alchemical Exalted: 9 (10 with the direct aid of Autocthon)
