While normally their Essence recovered slowly through rest, in the first two editions they could also regain it more quickly by performing stunts, actions given special description and embellishment by the players. The Exalted frequently power their Charms with accumulated Essence, a universal energy that flows through and comprises Creation and other worlds. An Exalt with low-level Archery Charms might find her arrows hitting with preternatural accuracy, while greater faculty might allow her to shoot without difficulty to the edge of her vision, or turn a single arrow into a deadly rain of ammunition. However, as the chosen champions of greater powers, each Exalt possesses Charms, which may either enhance their natural capabilities or manifest as shows of great power.
The Exalted version of the rules were derived from the trilogy of White Wolf Publishing games Trinity (formerly known as Aeon), Aberrant, and Adventure! where the idea of a fixed target number of 7 or higher was first introduced.Ĭharacters may be frequently presented with challenges that normal human beings, even within the context of the game, would find difficult, deadly, or simply impossible. The game uses ten-sided dice and a variation of the Storyteller System to arbitrate the action, and, as with many other RPGs, requires little beyond the rulebooks themselves, dice, pencil, and paper. Other influences include Glen Cook's The Black Company Sean Stewart's Resurrection Man, The Night Watch, and Galveston Homer's Odyssey, the Bible, and Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West. The setting is strongly influenced by Tanith Lee's Tales from the Flat Earth, Michael Moorcock's Hawkmoon, Lord Dunsany's The Gods of Pegana and Yoshiaki Kawajiri's Ninja Scroll. It was originally created by Robert Hatch, Justin Achilli and Stephan Wieck, and was inspired by world mythologies and anime. The game is currently in its third edition. Exalted is a high fantasy tabletop role-playing game originally published by White Wolf Publishing in July 2001.
