God-Blooded

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The God-Blooded is a general term in the world of Exalted to refer to a being that is part human, part magical being. These creatures stand between exalts and humans in power terms. They are usually dominated by their mystical parents or left alone to discover during their adolescence that they have terrible powers.

[edit] The five types of God-Blooded

• Half Caste: The offspring of the union between a powerful exalt and a human (or animal as in the case of Lunar's beastmen). They exceed even the heroic mortals in the use of abilities.
• Demon-Blooded: The children of demon and human or a demonic construction with human parts. Feared if their heritage is evident, they are wanted (mostly as mere tools) by demon cultists and exorcists because of their power of noticing demonic influence.
• God-Blooded: The children of gods and elementals with lesser creatures. They usually serve their powerful parent as guards or pawns, yet others are ignored and live with their mortal parent. Their blood gives them the ability to see the spiritual world in which the spirits live.
• Ghost-Blooded: At least one of the parents of these strange beings are ghosts, the souls of people that already died. If gifted and properly trained, these unnatural creatures can learn to control arcanoi, the power of the dead.
• Fae-Blooded: Living in the chaotic Wyld unharmed as one of the Raksha's toys, or in creation leaving a trail of chaos behind them, these creatures embody the combination of chaos and form, Fair Folk and humans.

[edit] Special powers

God-Blooded have only one innate power, that depends on the kind. After that, every other benefit they want to get must be purchased with freebie points. Each kind of God-Blooded can have the normal merits for heroic mortal and his own set of God-Blooded merits that grant some supernatural power.
