If it fails, it must leave the Zone or, if that’s not possible, move as far away as possible from the Exalt. In addition they take Stress equal to the amount they fail to resist the block by. |

| − | ''' | + | 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.'' |

Latest revision as of 02:41, 21 July 2011
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.
Contents
Celestial Exalted[edit]
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.

The Exalt can trigger its anima banner to appear larger and more threatening, frightening his foes in the process.

Base AP Cost: 1 AP

Activation Time: Free Action
Duration: Scene
Modifiers: Insulating (+1), Heavy Compatibility (+2), Triggers Anima Banner (-1)

See page 113 of the SoF rulebook for more information.
Night Caste Anima Effect
Chameleon
Sample Power Aspect: Shadowy Veil
Base AP Cost: 1
Activation: Fate Point
Activation Time: Free action

The Exalt can manipulate its Anima banner to give him or her a degree of camouflage, making it more difficult to spot the Exalt. This effect applies to both the Exalt and any gear she has on herself. She gets a +4 bonus to avoid being noticed when stationary and a +2 bonus if moving.
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.
Lunars[edit]
Known also as the Stewards, these mighty savages are the champions of Luna.

The Anima Effect of a Fire-Aspect has no room for refinement.

(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.

Oath Binding
Sample Power Aspect: Arcane Contracts

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 Moonshadows, being the diplomats and messengers of the Deathlords, are protected by ancient pacts with the creatures of death. As a result, Moonshadows 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 Moonshadow violates the oath first. Note that this bonus is permanent and constant and does not require any sort of FP expenditure.

Also, the Fiends, being the diplomats and messengers of the Yozi, are protected by ancient pacts with the Fair folk and the Underworld (Gods, however, offer no such immunity). 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.
