Hmmm.... Nothing Exalted related during the main text.

Across the 8 Directions is in First Draft

Heirs to the Shogunate is in second draft

Lunars is still in Development

Lunars art is still going.

Dragon-Blooded is still....!!!!!!!

DRAGON BLOODED BACKER DRAFT IS GOING OUT THIS WEEK!

Hmmm... My understanding is that, when a Sidereal dies, an unborn child is destined to inherit that Exaltation, much like how it works for the Dali Lama. Said destined children are usually left in place to fulfill their fates and Exalt, though I suspect they’re watched to make sure they live that long. After they Exalt, they’re scooped up and taken to Heaven for their real training.

Sometimes said children are taken up to Heaven right after they’re born and raised as Sidereals to be, but it’s a pretty rare circumstance.

As such, for one of those children to...

[BrilliantRain]

Would it be reasonable to expect merits and charms of that nature to be in a hypothetical sorcery book or would it be better to just homebrew that sort of thing as it’s unlikely to come up in any currently planned books?...

[BrilliantRain]

In the character creation section, the character creation summary page is missing.

[BrilliantRain]

I couldn’t find the “quick character creation reference” pages in the book. Are they being added later or did I just miss them?

[BrilliantRain]

Hmmmm.... A Lunar learns a number of things from one of the unemployed gods that left for Creation and sneaks into Yu-Shan, goes into the slums, and starts rabble rousing. If they play it right, they might set off a Divine Class War and mess up heaven.

If they do it wrong, they’ll find out the hard way that Yu-Shan justice is very swift when it wants to be and exceptionally harsh, assuming a couple Sidereals don’t assassinate them first.

The Dawn can sense NPC's breathing coming from the far side of the Twilight's growing erection.

[BrilliantRain]

I think they learned their lesson about letting Exalted tend the Peaches of Immortality long ago, so that’s out. A meaningless bureaucratic position might work?

I mean, if the whole point is to take the Lunar out of circulation, then having them work a random desk job for the rest of their life seems doable in theory....

[BrilliantRain]

Do Dragon Blooded get a Martial Arts Excellency?

[BrilliantRain]

Is it likely to receive any significant coverage in another upcoming book?...

[BrilliantRain]

I'm in. I'll likely do an artifact or location for whoever gets me as their gift giver.

If an artist gets me, I would enjoy character art (specifics to follow later). If not, I'd like a neat artifact 2 gadget, something not powerful, that had a use in the First Age and might have an alternate use today. Alternately, an interesting place in the Scavenger Lands or Hundred Kingdoms or a weird First Age Ruin. Something Lunar related would be fine too....

[BrilliantRain]

What was your favorite charm?

[BrilliantRain]

Heaven literally uses chocolate coins for money.

[BrilliantRain]

Are there any Lunar charms that let you give/loan one of your shapes to a Non-Lunar?

How about a charm that lets you effectively disguise another Non-Lunar?

[BrilliantRain]

That sounds like a great Sidereal charm....

[BrilliantRain]

Yeah. If I was to totally ignore the form weapon rules and allow Ebon Shadow Style to be combined with artifact weapons and any other MA style, are there any MA styles that would make you worry?...

[BrilliantRain]

Reposting because it might have gotten lost....

[BrilliantRain]

Will Sidereals be able to handle their bureaucratic duties while on the job in Creation indefinitely or do they need to return to Heaven at regular intervals? If they do need to head back up, is it like Magistrates where they need to report in every five years or so? Longer? Shorter?

If they don't actually need to report back in, how do you tell the difference between a Sidereal who's just gone on a really long assignment vs a Ronin?

[BrilliantRain]

Ignoring Form Weapons for the moment, are there any particular existing or upcoming MA styles that you would be wary of combining with Ebon Shadow Style and an Artifact weapon?

(Ignore Single Point too, since I know that one is dangerous to combine with pretty much everything.)

[BrilliantRain]

I’m gonna just say that “The Monkey King beats up Heaven” is too cool a classic image to entirely forbid it from Exalted.
