EXALTED-OVERTHROW PATRIN-STEWARD-LUNAR CAMPAIGN What is it like not only to have the power of a Demi-God and take the form

of any creature in Creation, and yet be bound within an infinite prison for eternity? Welcome to the Exalted-Overthrow campaign. Gamers will be playing Patrin-Stewards which are people who have Exalted beyond the powers of mortals and have acquired the ability to shapechange and other powers equal to the gods. Yet where once the Patrin were the Stewards of all the mortal races of the multiverse, now they are imprisoned inside the horrifying realm of The Labyrinth and must find a way out. HISTORY AND THE PATRIN (This history is unknown to all but the Exalted and a few Gods): Uncounted millennia ago virtually infinite beings know as the Primordials became self-aware and lifted themselves out of the cosmic vastness, primordial ooze and madness of chaos. These unknowable beings separated a part of the madness and stabilized it, thereby beginning the Multiverse. According to their whims and in order keep the Multiverse stable and functioning, the Primordials created their servants, the Gods. The Gods were powerful spirit beings whose purpose was to maintain the Multiverse and yet who were bound by mystical oaths, while the Primordials continued to simply exist, tinkering inhumanly with their infinite creation of reality. In addition, the Primordials created the mortal races. The purpose of the mortal races was to pray and worship, thereby satiating the spiritual hunger of the Primordials. Of all the mortal races, man was the most important due to his weakness and prevalence. Yet man was gifted with free-will which allowed him to produce vast quantities of mana, faith, and worship. The Gods were not satisfied with their slavery to their Primordial creators, beings who were both vastly older and completely alien to them. The gods plotted rebellion, yet they themselves could not directly take a hand against their creators. Luckily, one of the Primordials was also disenchanted with her brethren. The Primordial Gaia agreed to help the Gods rebel. The Gods created the Exalted Shards, 2800 pieces of perfect Essence filled with their unlimited power and potential. These Shards were designed to connect with the mortals races, which had one key characteristic the Gods did not have, free will. The Exalted mortals rose up in a terrible cosmic war that tearing the very fabric of reality, and defeated the Primordials, binding some, slaying others, and casting most outside of the walls of Creation. The Gods then rebuilt creation from the remains of the Primordials. They set themselves in the Astral Realms of the Outer Planes where they could rule the Multiverse and monitor the Prime Material Planes, where the mortal races began to flourish. At first, the Exalted were given freedom and a place in the Prime Material Plane, to rule and regulate the mortal races as their reward for their success in the Primordial War. But as time went on, the Gods slowly grew fearful of the power of their Exalted, their ambitions, and their growing madness. The Gods struck quickly and with precision, and bound the 2800 Exalted Shards in various prisons throughout the Multiverse. For many millennia the Exalted Shards have remained in their various prisons The 300 Patrin Shards were created by the most powerful Gods of life and change to be defenders against chaos and entropy. The inheritors of these shards were able to change their shape and take the form of the various creatures throughout the Multiverse. After the Primordial war, the Patrin became the Stewards of the mortal races, monitoring and protecting them and their societies, usually from a distance. When the Gods captured the Patrins, they cast them into the Labyrinth, the bound and comatose remains of one of the Primordials floating in the Astral Realm, the first one that the Patrin defeated in during the Primordial War. THE LABYRINTH (In Character (IC) Patrin Perspective): This Exalted Campaign takes place in the Labyrinth. The Labyrinth is a prison that is nothing more nor less than remains of a bound and comatose Primordial that spans the distance of thousands of worlds. The Patrin were imprisoned millennia ago in a hellish world meant to cage, and ultimately destroy them, leaving their Shards floating free without a host for eternity, or until they were once again required by the Gods. While the Labyrinth is filled with monsters and horrors, it also now has thousands of surviving mortals due to the labor of the surviving Patrin. The only way any of the mortal races survive is through the unknown and unrelenting protection of the Stewards. Yet while stewarding mortals was once enough for the Patrins, now they have another equally important goal: to escape the Labyrinth. The Patrin believe that no prison is perfect, and through the millennia they have searched for a way out. The Labyrinth is divided into chambers each of which is the size of a world. When the Patrin began to explore the World Chambers, they always found one exit or Gate. Each Gate the Patrin passed through led to another World Chamber equally large, yet often more deadly than the previous one. In the recorded history and ancient memory of the eldest Patrin, their race has passed through more than 10,000 Gates. Every race, creature, and life form in the Labyrinth, not directly a result of Patrin breeding is hostile and deadly. The purpose of every life form is to destroy the Patrin and what they protect. While there are some somewhat safe areas in the Labyrinth, most of the endless prison is nothing but a living death trap, including the flora, fauna, climate, and geography. The Wyld Lands: The majority of the Labyrinth consists of the Wyld Lands. The Wyld Lands are areas of the Labyrinth that are unstable, in flux, or are changing. Depending the stability (or lack thereof) unwary Patrin can be killed quickly while mortals may be changed into hideous monsters or even become part of the geography.

The Labyrinth consists of very small sections (in immense geographic terms) called Stable Realty, which were created by and safe guarded by the Patrin. About half of the Labyrinth consists of lands called Bordermarches, which while slow to change, are dangerous and can cause mutations and madness. The Middlemarches make up about a third of the Labyrinth and change much more quickly, often bending the rules of nature. The Deep Wyld is a much smaller part of the Labyrinth, yet much more dangerous. Where the Bordermarches and the Middlemarches bend or break the rules of nature, the Deep Wyld throws the rules out the window. The final and most dangerous part of the Labyrinth is Pure Chaos. Pure Chaos borders the other areas of the Labyrinth and is nothing but reality in flux. Mortal beings are consumed by Pure Chaos upon entering unless under the protection of powerful Patrin magic. CAMPAIGN BACKGROUND (IC Mortal PC Perspective): The Patrin Campaign begins with the PCs starting out as exceptional mortal adventurers, living normal adventuring lives, in what appears to be a normal fantasy world called Yrth. Yrth is a world consisting of a number of independent countries which have traded and warred with one another for the past few hundred years. (I will provide a What PCs know about Yrth page). In addition, most of the lands between major cities of Yrth are called Wyld Lands. For mortals, the Wyld Lands are hostile realms where nature can betray a man and where terrible monsters of legend dwell. CURRENT SITUATION: PCs begin as a band of adventurers who know one another and have been together for some time. They are exceptional people living in the world of Yrth and are coming back to the city of Blythe in the land Caithness. The PCs have been exploring about 30 miles from Blythe in the village of Briscane and the surrounding swamps, and have been very successful. CHARACTER CREATION: Unlike previous Exalted campaigns where players have created mortals who later Exalted, and therefore did not have to worry about their character transforming until it happened, in this campaign it will be important for players to consider both their pre-Exaltation and Post Exaltation. Players will create mortal PCs who are exceptional for mortals. They will also create their PC after they have Exalted into Patrins. While the PCs are not locked in to the choices the player makes until the Exaltation actually happens, it is very useful (if not necessary) to plan ahead for the change. Below are the following rules for creating PCs as both mortal and Patrin. NOTE: When PCs transform with Exaltation, they may rearrange previous use of Bonus Points. Also, Exalted may not buy Charms, Knacks, or Essence with Bonus Points. I will provide GM character creation examples to give players an idea of character creation. Some key elements in Character Creation include the following: Motivation: This is the primary drive and focus of the character. As a mortal, Motivations can be simple, but as an Exalted, Motivations should be Epic. Intimacies: Intimacies are what the PC cares about. They are weaker than the PCs Motivation but no less important. A PC may begin with a number of Intimacies equal to their Compassion, but may gain more in play up to their Willpower + Compassion. Spirit Shape: When the PC Exalts as a Patrin, they will gain a second True Form known as their Spirit Shape. PCs may pick any animal as their Spirit Shape that is not Wyld Tainted. This includes mammals, avians, reptiles, amphibians, fish (though this will be a land based game), and insects. PCs may even choose dinosaurs or dire versions of animals. If there is contention between players over Spirit Shapes, we will roll dice to determine who gets the shape. Tell: Every Patrin has a physical characteristic that mimics their spirit shape. In normal circumstances, these Tells would stand out and be completely noticeable, such as a forked tongue, horns, cloven hooves, etc. Yet the power of the Patrin psychically masks the Tell, causing them to go unnoticed by all but the most powerful beings. EXALTATION: When the PCs Exalt they will not gain all of their powers immediately (such as Charms), but it is a good idea to think about the Charms the PCs wants/needs early on.

MAKING PATRINS UNQUE:

Making Patrin characters unique can be difficult because there are only Five Castes, which then change with the Moon. When making Patrin PCs, develop back stories and two or three word archetypes and move on from there: Based on Caste: While PCs can be ANY Caste, they usually fall into types. Also note, that while PCs will have a base Caste, their Castes will begin changing with the monthly cycle. Full Moon: Warriors and Generals Waxing Moon: Priests and Couriers Half Moon: Observers and Tacticians Waning Moon/Changing Moon: Tricksters, Rogues, and Spies No Moon: Sorcerers and Sages Based on Spirit Shape & Tell: Every Patrin has at least two True Forms, their human shape and their Spirit Shape. Patrins Spirit Shape is the animal that represents who they are, whether it is a spider, hyena, or shark. (Please note that this will be primarily a land based campaign, so water based forms will not be as useful.) Also note that Patrins have virtually full use of their powers, not matter what shape they take, including Charms, Martial Arts, and Sorcery. In addition to a Spirit Shape, Patrins have a Tell. A Tell is some physical characteristic that stands out about them that gives away who and what they really are. For example, a Patrin with a Spider Tell may have thick black spiky hairs coming out of his legs and arms. While normally such things would be easily noticed, the Tell is psychically disguised, and most people simply cant notice it. Based on Attribute Focus: Patrins (unlike Solars) dont focus as much on Abilities (of which there are 25) as they do on Attributes (of which there are only 9). Attribute focus allows Patrins much more general in their design. Decide which two Attributes your Patrin will focus on. Strength Dexterity Stamina Charisma Manipulation Appearance Perception Intelligence Wits

Based on Knacks and Shapechanging Style: While all Patrins can change their shape to a limited extent, some are much more advanced shapechangers than others. Knacks are special Charms that allow a Patrin to take many different types of shapes, in different ways. Form Acquisition Knacks (Animal): Form Acquisition Knacks (Human): Form Acquisition Knacks (Supernatural): Form Acquisition Knacks (Miscellaneous): Shapeshifting Refinement Knacks: War Form Knacks: Based on Martial Arts Style: There are over a dozen different Terrestrial and Celestial Martial Arts styles that Patrins can choose from and/or begin with, and since this will be a combat game, a focus on Martial Arts is very appropriate. While some fit very well with certain forms and shapes, PCs can take any they wish and can use them in virtually any form. The following are a list of Terrestrial and Celestial styles: TERRESTRIAL MARITAL ARTS: Terrestrial Hero Style: The basic martial art style Falling Blossom Style: Bodyguard style First Pulse Style: Mean streets unconventional style Golden Janissary Style: Holy fire style Ill Lily Style: Toxic style Jade Mountain Style: Crushing strength and endurance Night Breeze Style: Silence, invisibility, and subterfuge Orgiastic Fugitive Style: Drucken and debauchery style Seafaring Hero Style: Ship born and swashbuckling style White Veil Style: Stealth, deception and poison style Crimson Pentacle Blade Style: Staffs, spears, polearms style that emphasizes coordinated combat Even Blade Style: Sword style Fivefold Shadow Hand Style: Mystic defenses and special gestures

CELESTIAL MARTIAL ARTS: Lunar Hero Style (Shape Changing Style): Celestial Monkey Style (Dodging Style): Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style (Passive Style): Ebon Shadow Style (Stealth Style): Laughing Wounds Style (Pain and wounding Style): Mantis Style (Grapple and Clinch Style): Righteous Devil Style (Flame weapon Style): Silver Voice Nightingale Style (Singing/Performance Style): Snake Style (Exacting Striking Style): Tiger Style (Ferocious Striking Style): Air Style (): Earth Style (): Fire Style (): Water Style (): Wood Style (): Based on Abilities: By focusing on 2 or three key Abilities, PCs develop the closest thing to a character class. Examples: Second Story Thief: Stealth, Larceny, & Melee. Barbarian Conqueror: Survival, Resistance, Melee & War, Bard: Presence, Performance, & Martial Arts, Based on Charm Subsets/Types: The type of Charms a PCs chooses will really make their character distinct. While Charm Types are based on Attributes, within these categories are a number of subgroups that are very distinctive. GENERAL CHARM TYPES (Excellencies): Essence Overwhelming (Attribute) Essence Triumphant (Attribute) Essence Resurgent (Attribute) Instinctive (Attribute) Unity Flawless (Attribute) Focus STRENGTH: Attack Enhancement Charms Crippling Charms Damage Enhancement Charms Feats of Strength Charms Grappling Charms Subdual Charms DEXTERITY: Balance and Grace Charms Crafting Charms Defensive Charms Lunar Hero Expansion Charms Movement Charms Speed and Extra Action Charms STAMINA: Consumption Charms Endurance Charms Environmental Charms Essence Regaining Charms Fury Charms Healing Charms Soak Enhancement Charms Substance Charms CHARISMA: Animal and Training Charms Holy Charms Fascination Charms Interaction Charms Military Unit Charms Social Unit Charms Territory Charms MANIPULATION: Belief Charms Defensive Charms Feint Charms Interaction Charms Military Unit Charms Social Unit Charms APPEARANCE: Disguise Charms Interaction Charms PERCEPTION: Craft Charms Essence Charms Extended Sense Charms Military Unit Charms Perception Advantage Charms Person Examination Charms Wyld Perception Charms INTELLIGENCE: Crafting Charms Defensive Charms Insight Charms Sorcery Charms Wyld Charms WITS: Concealment Charms Reaction Charms Speed and Extra Action Charms Survival Charms

Extended Senses Based 19. Fascination/Belief Based 20. Disguise/Stealth Based 21. Wyld Controlling Based While virtually all Patrin Charms are powerful and useful, the GM has noted there are a few Charms that stand out for Patrins, that they can begin with: Towering Beast Form: Allows PC to take larger forms. Deadly Beastman Transformation: This is the War Form and one of the paramount fighting charms, and gives the PC a third True Form. Essence Overwhelming (Attribute)/1st Attribute Excellency: This is the paramount dice adder. Claws of the Silver Moon: This is the scary damage charm. Ox Body Technique: Lunar Ox Body is better than for any other Exalted Type. Relentless Lunar Fury: This new kind of charm allows Lunars to use certain combinations of charms at once. Halting the Scarlet Flow: This is the healing charm. Wyld Sensing Technique: This is useful in a campaign surrounded by the Wyld.

LIST OF PASSIONS/VIRTUES RULES FOR VIRTUE EXTEMITY:

Scion pgs. 118-120 The following are a list of Passions/Virtues. Patrins must choose 4 Passions, of which one is the Ruling Passion. There are three circumstances where PCs must roll for Virtue Extremity: A) when first struck by the light of the Full Moon, B) when resisting unnatural mental influence, C) when a PCs wishes to act against one of their Virtues they must either spend 1 temporary Willpower point or roll against their Virtue. If a PCs rolls even one success, they must act in accordance to the appropriate Virtue (or Ruling Passion). If an Exalted rolls more successes than they have temporary Willpower, they suffer Virtue Extremity/Limit Break. VIRTUE EXTREMITY/LIMIT BREAK: If an Exalted suffers from Virtue Extremity/Limit Break they act in an extreme manner, far beyond normal passions! The only benefit to this is, that after they have finished, they regain all of their temporary Willpower. PERMANENT LIMIT: Every time a Patrin Limit Breaks in the Wyld, he gains a point of Permanent Limit for that Virtue. Once a PC has Permanent Limit he adds One automatic success ever time he rolls for Limit Break, but only to determine Limit Break (Not to determine if they can resist a Passion). For Example, Laughs-at-Death has 2 Permanent Limit points added to Courage. The next time he tries to resist a challenge to combat, he rolls his regular 3 dice of Courage. If he gains no successes, he can refuse, but if his current Willpower is only one, he will still immediately enter into Berserker Fury. Permanent Limit is bad! Any PC who reaches 10 points of Permanent Limit becomes a Chimera, and an NPC monster. Other Patrin watch out for Chimera and will put down any PC who is thought to have become a Chimera, so even moderate levels of Permanent Limit can be dangerous.

GM EXAMPLE MORTAL PCS AND THEIR EXALTATIONS INTO PATRINS HYENA-WARRIOR TEMPLATE, Laughs at Death: Character Idea: A laughing warrior, who scares the hell out of his enemies.

Rugar the Mad (Warrior): Crazed and fearless animal nomad barbarian BACK STORY: Rugar grew up in the Wolf Clan but was orphaned by the time he was 12, when the Tiger Tribe raided and slew or kidnapped a quarter of his people. It was during this even that he began dealing with fear and pain using laughter. Learning to take care of himself, he became a valuable hunter for the tribe.
