Editing SoF Exalted/Anima Effects

Every Exalted can channel Essence through their Anima to create powerful magical effects. The specifics of the effect depend on the type of Exalted and their Caste.

Note that these are free at character creation (the costs are listed for balance purposes), but that each character may have only one.


= Celestial Exalted =

The most powerful of the Exalted, there are only several hundred of them in all of Creation. They are the chosen champions and representatives of the most powerful beings in existence, gifted with a fragment of that power.


==Solars==

Known also as the Lawgivers, the Solar Exalted are the champions of the Unconquered Sun.

'''Duration''': Scene

'''Modifiers''': Insulating (+1), Heavy Compatibility (+2), Triggers Anima Banner (-1)

 See page 122 of the SoF rulebook for more information.


'''Eclipse Caste Anima Effect'''


''Oath Binding''

'''Sample Power Aspect''': Arcane Contracts

'''Base AP Cost''': 3AP

'''Activation''': Fate Point

The Eclipse Caste Anima Effect is different from the rest as it has more of a long-term and complex narrative impact than a immediate and straightforward one. By channeling his Anima Banner, the Exalt can magically bind all parties in an oath or contract to abide by its stipulations. Once done, all those involved in the oath or contract gain the Aspect ''Sacred Oath(P)'', which can be invoked or compelled as normal. This permanent aspect  remains until the oath or contract is satisfied (at which point the GM may opt to give a FP as a reward) or until it is broken. If the party breaks the oath or contract, he or she gains the Aspect ''Cursed(P)''. How long the ''Cursed(P)'' Aspect remains is up to the GM, though he or she might want to wait until a most inopportune time to Compel the character to do something he or she certainly does not want to do (“What? You’re out of fate points? I had no idea...”). Once the GM feels the character has been sufficiently cursed for breaking their oath, the Aspect may be removed.

Also, the Eclipses, being the diplomats and messengers of  the Unconquered Sun, are protected by ancient pacts with the Fair folk, demons, and spirits. As a result, Eclipses and their companions may not be attacked by these groups when on legitimate business with those beings. These creatures must honor the code of hospitality unless the Eclipse violates the oath first. Note that this bonus is permanent and constant and does not require any sort of FP expenditure. 

''Notes: Modifiers marked by an asterisk are custom mods or not native to the power in the SoF rulebook. The entirety of the Eclipse caste anima effect is custom made, so comments on its AP cost and balance are welcome. Apparently there is some degree of dissatisfaction over the appropriateness of the Twilight caste anima effect, with some people arguing for a power more thematically fitting. Perhaps it is something we can discuss.''

(everyone in the same Zone as the Fire-Aspect is subject to a +5 ExR attack every round, and suffer initial stress -3 the round after that).  Unfortunately, this power is also a significant risk to anything combustible in the area.  Note that, for a Fire-Aspect, their Anima Effect and Anima Flux are one and the same.

If the party breaks the oath or contract, he or she gains the Aspect ''Cursed(P)''. How long the ''Cursed(P)'' Aspect remains is up to the GM, though he or she might want to wait until a most inopportune time to Compel the character to do something he or she certainly does not want to do (“What?

'''Fiend Caste Anima Effect'''


''Oath Binding''

'''Sample Power Aspect''': Arcane Contracts

'''Base AP Cost''': 3AP

Once done, all those involved in the oath or contract gain the Aspect ''Sacred Oath(P)'', which can be invoked or compelled as normal.
