The Law of Harmonious Battle
From Jaggedthrone
This covers any specific House Rules. As we encounter situations that require them, they will be entered here.
- Join Battle and Join Debate rolls use the formula (6-Successes rolled) to determine the starting tick. The minimum start tick remains 0. Original Rule had everyone subtract their successes from the highest Join Battle Roll.
- Replace the rules for relative appearance (which pits Appearance vs. Appearance) with a DV modifier pitting the attacker's Appearance vs. the defender's Temperance. This avoids the somewhat odd construct that pretty people are somehow more resistant to persuasion and gives Temperance a purpose in social combat (as written, it is the only Virtue that isn't used). Plus, it just seems to fit what Temperance is supposed to represent. (Source: Unofficial Exalted Wiki)
- Backgrounds are not given an optional XP cost in the Core book. Backgrounds may be kept (if aquired through RP) at the cost of 3 XP per dot. (Source: Fixalted)
