The Dragon-Blooded

Aspect Changes

As there are no more favored Abilities (just favored Charms), the Exalted need a bit more to differentiate themselves. For the Dragon-Blooded, this takes the form of special Squads, redesigned Aspects and such.

The basic premise is that, as the most common type of Exalt, they will be seen a lot more often. The nature of their Charms, however, requires more memorization than any other type of Exalt - which is a hassle enough when building a full scale Wyld Hunt party. When trying to build armies from them, it becomes nearly impossible.

Thus, this project attempts to redefine them as especially unique terrors of their elements that aren't so hard to pin down, ability wise. Many of their Charms still exist, but they more closely resemble Dragon King Paths in terms of design. They go to level 8, however, and are generally more powerful.
