Heroic Mortal

• Needs a heroic Motivation.
• Attributes: 6/4/3
• Abilities: No Caste Abilities; 25 dots to distribute.
  • One Favored Ability, complete with the discount. This must be equal to or greater than every other Ability the character possesses. (Exalted are not restricted like this.)

• Bonus Points: 21.

To transform a heroic mortal into an Exalt, add four dots to Attributes and two to Abilities and Backgrounds; mark down Caste Abilities, select four more Favored Abilities, choose 10 Charms, increase Essence to 2, choose a Virtue Flaw, and adjust the character's health levels accordingly.

Health Levels

Your character is highly likely to have just one -0 health level, two -1 health levels, two -2 health levels, one -4 health level and one Incapacitated health level. See Health Levels and Attacking for more information.

Notes

• When rounding for static values such as DVs, mortals and heroic mortals round downward. This does not include dividing Stamina for the purposes of determining base lethal soak, as everyone rounds down for that.
