Dawn

This supplement expands on the most militant of the player-character (PC) classes for White Wolf's Exalted role playing game (which to me is probably the most exciting game product published in the last couple of years). The Dawn Caste of Celetial Exalted are the ultimate warriors in the Exalted Game world and this book explores the many facets of playing one. The first section describes the views and motivations of several of these superhumans. The stories are varied enough that they never become repetitive and make great inspirational reading for those players planning on coming up with character backgrounds. It was fun reading how the sample characters dealt with their sudden transformation to demi-god status and how it affected their views of the world.The second section details what the sample Exalted think the other factions and powers in the Exalted World and vice versa: Normal mortals, other Exalted, and the Fair Folk. It is interesting to read how some folk view these superhuman warriors as demi-gods and form cults around them. From a Storyteller's perspective I can see a lot of potential for challenging situations for Dawn PCs in these notes.In the last section are many new charms (the great majority are combat-related of course) for the Dawn player and new artifacts (hearthstones and weapons) for the warriors to dream of. Like many books in the Exalted series, the typos are present. They are irritating but do not take any fun out of reading.

Thank you White Wolf this game rocks. The source books are well written and very interesting. The characters used to illustrate what each caste should be like are excellent. Highly recommend this game to anyone who is sick of vampire or is an old school D & D gamer at heart.
