Falling Leaf - Night Caste (WIP)
Weapons
Armor
Advantages
Anima EffectsCharms
Prerequisites: None
The Exalt gains an additional -1 level. This may be purchased a number of times equal to the character’s Physique. Solar Mode: The Exalt gains their choice of an additional 0 or two -1 Health levels.
Prerequisites: Athletics 1
[i]The Exalt gains perfect balance, able to stand on wire, a crumbling parapet, or the top of a pine tree without issue.
Commit 1 mote. For the rest of the scene, the Exalt can stand on or run along things too narrow or weak to support them normally, with no chance of falling or breaking through. They never have to roll Finesse + Athletics to avoid falling. Increase the cost of the Knockdown gambit by her Essence.
Spider-Foot Style (Upgrade, Athletics 3): The Exalt scales sheer surfaces and even ceilings like a spider, feet bound to all things by inertia and Essence. While Graceful Crane Stance is active, the Exalt may scale sheer surfaces, run across all liquids as if it were solid ground, and even runs upside down along the ceiling. This effect comes to an end when the Exalt stands still.
Prerequisites: Athletics 2
Attacks strike empty space, the Exalt’s dodge so fast as to be nearly imperceptible.
Spend 2 motes on Step 2. On Step 4, roll your choice of Attribute + Athletics, and add your successes to your Defense against the attack.
Prerequisites: Close Combat 3
The Exalt throws punches like sledgehammers and kicks like mighty pistons.
At the start of any combat scene, the Exalt may choose that his unarmed attacks count as medium or heavy weapons, rather than light. Spend 1 mote on Step 1 to change this as a reflexive action. This does not count as the Exalt’s Charm on that Step. When activating this Charm, also choose one tag to apply to the Exalt’s unarmed attacks while Fists of Iron is active, excluding Artifact. The tag does not change when the weapon classification changes. This may be used during a clash.
Adamantine Fists of Battle (Solar) Spend an additional mote to grant the Exalt’s unarmed attacks the Artifact tag.
Prerequisites: Stealth 4
Just because the corrupt official has hidden the evidence of his crimes doesn’t mean he never committed them. Sometimes, the truth needs a little help coming to light.
Spend 1 mote. The Exalt places a piece of physical evidence somewhere in their current location without being observed. If she is placing it on another person, gain three bonus successes on the Stealth roll.Virtues & Intimacies

THis is very much still a work in progress. I will add more later.

Well, we have Stealth, Knowledge, Fighting and Diplomacy. Pretty balanced team all around !
Altho, just a suggestion, but maybe a Lunar Exalt would work better if you want to focus on the "animal mutant" aspect ? Tho it works fine as is.

So just a quick recap of what I think everyone has mentioned for concepts:
Ganesh - Seeker of Hidden Truths - Solar Twilight (Investigation/Sagacity - No Sorcery :) )
Rattila - ? - Dragon-Blooded Air? - (Ranged Combat)
SchadDad - Xari, One with the Sun - Solar Dawn (Close Combat/War)
malkavian_616 - Falling Leaf - Solar Night (Sneaky Sneaky)
Gnome_Chomsky - ? - ?
@Gnome - you got any thoughts on the direction you're heading? If you're the kind of player who likes to fill in skill gaps, a crafter or sorcerer would do that, you could also be more of a priest type character adept at interacting with gods, elementals, demons, and/or ghosts.

Dam, didn't noticed that Ganesh character was a Solar too, thought it was a Sidereal x). That'll be interesting, considering the... mixed relationship between Solars and Dragon-Blooded.

"Adversity makes strange bedfellows"
For what it's worth, not all Dragon-Blooded have to be Realm Dynasts. There are also the Outcaste which either never were a part of the Realm or renounced any affiliation with the Realm. I personally am a fan of the interparty conflict a Realm Dynast would have while working with a bunch of Solars, but it's not the only way to play it.

Okay, so after some thought, I've come up with a few possible concepts.
Ten Paths Travelled: A Solar of the Night Caste who spent most of her life as a performer in a travelling circus. The character is acrobatic, good with animals, and a natural showman. After some close calls with the Wyld Hunt, she left the circus and now operates as a scout and poet-assassin. Her hope is to one day become the hero of her own epic, and thus immortalizes all of her greatest exploits in verse.
The Giggle at the Funeral: An Abyssal of the Moonshadow Caste who serves as a mediator and broker of pacts. The character is a defender of death and decay as a source of mercy and renewal. He is known for his very black sense of humor and penchant for poetic justice.
Blood-Bones-Teeth: A Lunar of the Full Moon Caste and a brawler from Coral. Served for several years as a pirate under the command of pirate-king Thousandbeards. Has a soft spot for alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and other crocodilians, and prefers them to people.

Some outcastes are also exiles possibly seeking to off a solar to prove their worth. Probably better to just kill them in their sleep.
Sep 28, 2021 9:13 pm
anyway gnome, I'd say choose what you'd prefer to play. Picking another Solar will probably orient the game more about their return and the reaction of the world to it, while the other options will probably vary the themes a bit more (I'm not the DM tho, it's just my guess), and both are fine. I could tell you how I'd choose among your concepts, but that wouldn't be how you would do it, just go with what you want !
Sep 28, 2021 10:07 pm
I'm a big fan of play whatever. I'm just poking fun because of the setting of the game.
Sep 28, 2021 11:24 pm
We can definitely make whatever exalt types work. Stick with fun and interesting to you as the motivation for your choice

@Gnome I could see a possible connection with your first character concept to mine. I'm building a Night Caste performer with a circus background.

I'm almost done with my character sheet, but I wanted to know, is there any other Artifact list than the one in the rulebook I can take from ? I'm searching for a Ranged Combat one, but unfortunately the only one proposed doesn't really fit for my character.
