Exalted: Mount Meru Blues

An Exalted campaign set in the space opera-inspired shard known as Heaven's Reach.

Premise

A story of loss, revenge and grand space heroes in the space frontier. Hopefully it won't end after five episodes and become impossibly memetic.

Houserules

• Backstory: In addition to the Chargen bonuses bellow, a comprehensive backstory that relates to your Motivation and Intimacies grants an extra 2 BP.
  • Hearing about how your character's childhood was pleasant is pretty fine, but I'm actually more interested in personal loss and why you're chasing That Man.
  • It incentivizes me writing up That Man so you feel more anchored in the narrative.
• Chargen: Characters are slightly more powerful to discourage minmaxing at chargen, and receive an extra 6 ability dots, and extra 3 attribute dots, 1 charm, and 5 BP.
• Craft: Craft is now treated as Linguistics, with each Craft skill granting a character another Craft ability.
  • Even at Craft 0, a character has one Craft skill they can roll unskilled, just from being familiar with furniture (Wood) from your old job, being able to make passable stew (Water) or doodling on your desk a lot (Air). A character with Craft 5 has at least 6 craft fields, therefore.
  • Esoteric crafts (Magitech, Genesis, Fate, Gossamer) obviously cannot be taken unskilled.
  • Specialties may give the character extra competencies, just as with Linguistics.
• Intimacies: All characters begin with half of their maximum intimacies filled, minimum.
• Motivations: Please be something that can be accomplished, and fits in the context of your intimacies.
• Warstriders: Use this fix.
