Session 257 of Exalted: Squared Circle completed! +1 bp, + 1 sbp
Essence: 5
Total Bonus Points Awarded: 411 general, 411 solar

First 20/20: Essence 1
Next 30/30: Essence 2
Next 100/100: Essence 3
Next 125/125: Essence 4


Other Character Awards:
-6 free caste or favored charms (Essence 2 or lower)
-4 free caste or favored charms (Essence 3 or lower)

Weird Powers:
-Getimian Attunement: The Circle, collectively, has 5 black and 5 white Getimian motes. These refresh at the end of each story.

You can spend either white or black Getimian motes reflexively to reduce the target number of any action you take, 1 for 1, to a minimum of 4. Reducing a target number to 4 additionally costs 1 willpower.

When another character acts against you, after dice are rolled for them, you can spend black Getimian motes sabotage them; each mote increases the target number of their lowest successful die by one, potentially turning affected dice from successes to failures. Multiple motes spent might degrade multiple just-made-it dice or push a single very high die down below the threshold, as you prefer.

When another character acts in your favor, after dice are rolled for them, you can white Getimian motes to aid them; each mote decreases the target number of their highest non-successful die by one, potentially turning it into a success. Multiple motes spent might boost different nearly-successful die or stack to push one bad die over the edge, as you prefer.
