Most definitely in fact we are already using it for the Zeta Beta 2 campaign. It's also used in a class and a couple of exaltations. Weredrago can vouch.

What he said. The rules should be comprehensive enough for you to build an Exalt around, should you be inclined to do so.

Reoverhauled and changed the wording on several abilities.

Asset Suggestions:

Arcane Familiar, may gain a Magic School instead of a Sword School and requires Arcana for Care tests.

Unnamed, but the upkeep is much easier at the cost of performance and requires Crafts for Care tests.

I feel really happy with how this turned out. Thank you, GuardianTempest, for pulling me back to this project to clean it up and make it more balanced.

How does it feel? What wording changes would anyone suggest?

I feel that the Monster-Bound is still incredibly wordy. Especially the Bonded Monster power, which should be wrapped up in no more than a paragraph, instead of an extended list. I can help reduce it later, but the Exalt is coherent as it is, so there's no rush for it.

(I'd be in discord but I'm at work)

I know this is the major issue of the exalt. All of the powers are fine, EXCEPT for how it's described that you build your monster. I'm thinking of cutting it down to skills, level, and characteristics, natural armor, and weapon, then saying "and everything's derived as normal"

That could work. I'll write up my own interpretation of the power for the sake of comparison.

I changed my mind. I wasn't happy with the monster progression on the powers gained table.
