For you, that's Dragon XP. You can spend it on anything except Charms, usually.

Yes, it does indeed spring back into existence now, and everyone can have 10 XP + 10 HXP (Whatever your flavour of special XP is) for saving the city while we're at it.

The effects on Sjet after fifteen minutes of Sayuri's tender ministrations is nothing short of miraculous. Where once she had terrible bloody wounds that ran deep into her flesh, now, once the blood is washed away, she is merely covered in deep bruises of black and blue where the flesh has knit...

😆 No, no, 6 successes is just 6 successes. No 47. In exalted we never add up die values, we only count successes. 6 successes fully converts Sjet's wounds from Lethal to Bashing. Well done!

Ah, no. Those are Abilities. A Specialty is a subfield of a certain ability in which you're especially good. So Medicine [Battlefield], Archery [In Storms], Stealth [Urban], Lore [Mathematics], Occult [Demons], etc etc. You can choose four. You can have more than one for a certain ability, but...

The limit for a DB is Ability + Specialty. So if you had Medicine 3 and an applicable specialty, the limit would be 4 dice. That means you can buy anywhere from 0-4 dice, for 1m each. Sayuri has Medicine 5 and... no Specialties? That's an oversight. You're supposed to start with at least 4 if...

Excellencies are Charms that allow you to buy more dice on a roll. Like this one: Master Healer Meditation (p 220) Cost: 1m per die; Mins: Medicine 1, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Wood Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: None Blessed with understanding of the...

Just in case it wasn't obvious, you can also apply excellencies to any ability check. In this case, your Medicine Excellency applies. On average you'll see 6 hits on 12 dice, so 50/50 you fully close the wound.

That's a fascinating question! In your expert medical opinion, the wounds Droplets has suffered are likely fatal. And yet she appears to be fully functional. Far more hale and hearty than any woman her age has a right to be. She is radiating a terrifying power, and moves with strength and grace...

Tutorial time! So this Charm: Is an upgrade to this Charm: You're actually using Wound Closing Technique. The upgrade to Wound Closing Technique, Grievous Wound Alteration Energy, says you can spend an extra point of willpower when using WCT to have it treat Aggravated Damage (which is very...

The pale boy shakes his head, a few wisps of his hair having escaped their braid. "No, this boy has suffered enough." He looks down at the broken arm, as if noticing it for the first time. He grunts, a strange sound in that whisper voice. "He'll need enough of the Lady Sayuri's time as is." He...

The other soldier looks aghast at Nott. "P-pardon, m'lords. The fellow was hit in the head during the battle. Hard, y-y'see. He doesn't know... he means no offense." He elbows Knott. "What d'ya think you're doin'?" he hisses, clearly worried you'll get yourself whipped for impertinence.

Perfect . If you stick with the Lunar witch then you can have the Black Treatise for Necromancy and I can take the White for Sorcery. Although presumably we can trade at any time, and it could be a fun side storyline for each of us to initiate the other into our art. Understood. I'll think...

It's entirely an instinctual response, driven by horror and the ache of newfound strength to be exercised. Arms surge, legs flail before feet find the cobbles, and Lucien begins to run, eyes wild with fear, unthinking. If not obstructed his feet may guide him out of habit to a nearby coffee...

Would you like to do a Lunar+Solar double Sorcerer bond? We could have stolen the long lost White and Black Treatises from a library in Hell or an Underworld vault and now the old owners are after us. Sherwood's Secrets could have either helped with the heist, come after us to prevent us from...
