Every character gains a free Secret - Secret of (Caste) - which represents their anima banner. Whether passive or active, use of an anima banner creates an Obvious display of power; a banner may be voluntarily suppressed to avoid such displays. The Dragon-blooded have a special advantage here: while their anima banners may not be as spectacular as that of the Celestial Exalted, their active anima powers can be extended to any nearby members of a sworn brotherhood in which the Dragon is a member, for no additional cost. An Air Dragon in your brotherhood could protect all of you when you have to leap off the deck of an exploding airship, for example.

Terrestrial Animas

  • Secret of Air: add one die to any rolls involving movement, athleticism, speed. For 1m, they can prevent all damage from noncombative impacts (although they can still be hurt if they fall into lava or something).
  • Secret of Fire: add one die to any rolls involving attacking (including social combat). For 1m, they can prevent all damage from extremes of temperature (so they can fall into lava, but this ability is not going to help them get out of it).
  • Secret of Earth: add one die to any rolls involving endurance. For 1m, they can perform a fantastic feat of strength as long as they can remain in contact with a surface of unworked earth or stone. This ability when shared does not allow all brotherhood members to attempt separate feats of strength; instead, they may add their augmented strength to his own, allowing for maneuvers that even the mightiest of the Celestial Exalted might not accomplish on their own.
  • Secret of Water: add one die to any rolls involving defence (including social combat). For 1m, they can render any liquid harmless to consume, as delicious as fine wine, and breathable (the latter effect lasts for the duration of immersion).
  • Secret of Wood: add one die to any rolls involving administering care or aid. For 1m, they can remove any Condition dealing with physical injury (removing the Lost or Angry Conditions doesn't make sense).
