XerExaltedNations/Conversion

Conversion

This is a conversion from the Exalted Lite system, and thus is only so useful.

Conversion is, at least, somewhat straightforward.

• To find the character's base Essence, just take the original. Extras will typically have a 0 instead of a 1, however.
• Add the character's Charms, Paths, Arcanoi, 1st and 2nd-Circle Spells, Terrestrial and Celestial Martial Arts, and so on. Take the square root of the result. This is the character's Versatility - the number of dice to roll when making an Essence roll.

Take half of the character's Willpower and add it to their Intelligence, and divide the points between the character's remaining Virtues, Abilities and Attributes as desired, trying for as many even numbers as possible.

• Air
  • For the die type, average Compassion and Dexterity, rounding down to the nearest whole number. Average Lore and Subterfuge for the number of dice to roll.
• Earth
  • For the die type, average half of Willpower and Brawn, rounding down to the nearest whole number. Average Craft and Might for the number of dice to roll.
• Fire
  • For the die type, average Conviction and Wits, rounding down to the nearest whole number. Average Combat and Prowess for the number of dice to roll.
• Water
  • For the die type, average Valor and Presence, rounding down to the nearest whole number. Average Socialize and War for the number of dice to roll.
• Wood
  • For the die type, average Temperance and Manipulation, rounding down to the nearest whole number. Average Expression and Natural for the number of dice to roll.

A certain level of equipment is assumed for a given score. This needs to be eyeballed (somewhat), but as a general guideline:

• 2d2 - Average equipment. A few Resources •• items.
• 4d4 - Quality equipment. A few Resorces •••• items.
• 6d6 - Superb equipment. Several Resorces ••••• items.
• 8d8 - Legendary equipment. A few Artifact • items.
• 10d10 - Beyond mortal capacity to handle. A couple Artifact ••• items.
• 12d12 - Among the best artifact support Exalted may reasonably find. Several Artifact •••• items.
• over 12d12 - A large quantity of Artifact ••••• items.

Equipment above or below such standards may grant a bonus or a penalty.

Supernal Characters also have the following two benefits:

• A Seventh Trait, based on type. This value begins equal to the character's Versatility.
• A Shtick, based on their type and Caste.
