Editing SoF Exalted/CC Summary (section)

==Mundane Equipment==

The prevailing Tech Level for most of Creation is generally TL2, meaning metal weapons and armour, and other medieval-ish equipment. Some places have TL3 (firewands and the like). First Age artifacts and infrastructure might raise it still further in localised areas.


===Armour===

Rather than create a new armour table for the types available in Exalted, instead here is a translation guide:

</pre>

<nowiki>*</nowiki>: Returning can be invoked for effect any time your attack misses to return the boomerang to your hand by the end of your turn.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>: The Flaming Aspect comes from Firedust, the ammunition the weapon uses, and can be invoked for a bonus to attack due to the difficulty of avoiding a burst of flame. In addition, if your attack generates Spin you can invoke it for effect to place the temporary aspect On Fire! on the target. See page 274 of the SoF rulebook for more information. Firedust ammunition has a Cost of 2 in the South, and 3 in the rest of Creation.

 See pages 306-307 of the SoF rulebook for more information on Weapons.
