So these were the campaign specific character creation rules we agreed on:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=284008.msg14026811#msg14026811">Quote from: Muse on 26-03-2018, 06:09:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">  Celestial Exalted: +100 EXP and +5 Backgrounds<br/>  Terestrail Exatled: +150 EXP and +5 Backgrounds.  <br/>  God Blooded:  Inheritence 4 or equivelent.  Gain the benefits of a career as described for mortal heroes.  +200 EXP and +5 backgrounds.  <br/>  --Should anyone want a god blooded as their primary character, with no exalted characters at all, consider giving more bonuses, such as free charms.  <br/><br/>I also have some sugestions for backgrounds:  <br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Henchmen</div><div class="spoiler_body">Henchmen (Supernatural)<br/>--The henchmen background should be allowed to celestials.  At base your henchmen are heroic mortals as created in Scroll of Heroes with +75 EXP.  <br/>--Buy the Henchmen background at +1 dot to gain supernatural henchmen.  These are NPC god blooded created by the same rules as PC god blooded.  <br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Backing: War Manse 13</div><div class="spoiler_body">War Manse 13 characters should take a level of this background apropriate to their position and athority in the Manse. <br/>--Provided they maintain this background by performing their duty, avoiding forbiden behavior, and participating in an aproriate amount of courtly polotics, they gain the following benefits from this background:  <br/>(1)  This is apropriate backing for a person of no special power performing routine duties.  <br/>      --They gain Resources 1 for free.  <br/>(2)  Apropriate backing for a person of no special power performing highly valued or dangerous duties, or entry level work for a god blooded.  <br/>     --They gain Resoruces 2 and Influence 1 for free.  <br/>(3)  Aproriate backing for an entry level exalt or experienced god blooded.  <br/>      --They gain Resource 2 and Influence 2 for free.  <br/>(4)  Aproriate backing for an important exalt or someone of lesser power someone able to provide similar services.  <br/>     --They gain resources 3 and Influence 3 for free.  <br/>(5)  Apropriate backing for Umari 1,000 Hands and his sucessor.  He gains resources 4, influence 4, and Cult 2 for free.  <br/><br/>Furthermore, maintaing your backing is sufficient to maintain Backing x2 dots fo the following backgrounds, not to exceed your backing level in any one:  <br/>--Arsenal.  <br/>--Command.  <br/>--Henchmen<br/>--Retainers. <br/><br/>So as an example if I wanted to play a younger terrestrial exalted who was a military leader for the manse, I could take with my build points:  <br/>--Backing 3<br/>--Arsenal 3 (Authority to requisition resources for myself and my troupes, including exceptional equipment, minor artifacts, and reagents necessary to maintain my magitech and that of my unit.  <br/>--Command 2 (Authority to lead a Talon of soldiers.)  <br/>--Retainers 1 (Two non combatant assistants of exceptional skill--in this case a sorcerer-technician and a body servant.)  <br/><br/>However, if I wanted to lure three NPC God Blooded to serve in my unit, I'd have to take: <br/>--Henchmen 3 <br/><br/>Then to make sure they didn't leave my service, I'd need Connections 3 in an appropriate area to make sure the war manse kept them assigned to my service and paid their salary.  <br/><br/>Alternatively, if I only wanted 1 supernatural henchman (or 3 heroic mortals) i could devote a resources 2 expense from my resources background to keeping them in my service.  <br/><br/></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hairy I had suggested we give a few extra charms to someone who played a god blood as their primary with no exalted characters at all?  What do you say we give M.R. 5 charms?
