From Sidsfix

Because whoever White Wolf put in charge of updating the Sidereals' charms for 2e Exalted apparently does not know how to keyword. They need fixing so they make sense and that is what they will get. The end, amen.

Assorted Changes

• The Sidereal dice cap is now Attribute + Ability, because every other Exalt in the setting has this cap.
• Charms keyworded Fate now only apply if the Sidereal is outside Fate when attempting to use them. Otherwise treat any attempts at unnatural mental influence/shaping as a contested roll.
• Charms keyworded Maiden have unlimited application if there is immediate danger to the integrity of the Loom of Fate. Otherwise there is a Severity 3 offense to invoke them.
• Now and forevermore, the First Excellency is a penalty buyoff that ignores the cap.
• Athletics is Journeys-favored, Resistance is Battles-favored.
• Sidereals now have a hero style. Violet Bier of Sorrows gets its own section.
