The Sidereals

After Comparing each of the books I find that White Wolf did not put enough work into the Solar Book, Sidereal Charms by far outstrip anything a Solar has including Magic of the Solar Circle. While the book is colorful and well written it would have been better for them to have put more work into the Solar book Overall

Exalted is an epic anime-style roleplaying game set in the mythical "Second Age of Man," wherein the universe is ruled by a breed of demigods known as the Exalted. Many different types of Exalted exist (from the mighty Solars to the savage Lunars and decadent Dragon-Blooded), but with this hardbound, the circle is now complete and the last, and most enigmatic, Exalt type is at last revealed for all to play.Exalted: the Sidereals has complete rules on playing and Storytelling these most mysterious of Exalts. The opening chapter deals with Yu-Shan, the bureaucratic and corruption-ridden home of the gods, the beings that created the Exalted. Further chapters deal with the Sidereals, their place in Heaven, and how they manipulate destiny. While weaker than Solar Exalted, Sidereals are nothing to sneeze at.I heavily recommend this hardbound sourcebook to all players and Storytellers of Exalted.

I wasn't a big fan of Exalted until I read Exalted: The Sidereals. While the Sidereal Exalted are far from being the powerhouses of the Solar or Lunar Exalts, their charms are by far the most flavorful, and subtle. Whereas a SOlar will whip out casually with the obscenely powerful attacks, a Sidereal could sidestep fate to change the outcome of a scene... and make it seem as though that's just the way it should be. If you are looking for a more subtle, political game with more than the realm to offer, then i HIGHLY suggest picking up The Sidereals.

The last, and probably best, book in the Exalted hardback line is complete! As a sidereal, not only are you a butt-kicking exalt, but you are also a important member of the universe's most powerful orgainization, the Celestial Bureaucracy. You will work along-side the gods and can make formal requests to change the flow of fate. The sidereals are creations foremost martial artists, and the new charms make even the solars seem weak. This book is a must buy for anyone who play's Exalted.
