| − | Time calculated in hours spent solely on intensive training, with the aid of a tutor.

| − | ==Increasing Essence==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To increase Essence beyond a character's 'natural cap' requires them to spend [new rating] in seasons engaged in nothing but meditative contemplation, and in case of Dragonblooded exposure to their element of aspect. Increasing Essence up to a character's 'natural cap' is instantaneous, requiring only a moment of personal enlightenment.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For mortals, the 'natural cap' is 1. For Exalts, the 'natural cap' is 3. Spirits do not increase their Essence by these conventional means.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Meaning of Days==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In Exalted's mechanics, the issue of time is a major problem. Many things list the time they require (training, crafting, and others besides) in days, but what this means can be ambiguous.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To clarify, when a 'day' of work is specified, what is meant is a period of 8 hours focused on the task and nothing else. Considering this span, less than a third of the 25 hours in a day, to be a full day's work dates from the original design of humans: they were built to spend 8 hours sleeping to rest and recuperate, 8 hours on subsistence tasks (feeding and clothing themselves), 8 hours on service (raising children, serving the Dragon Kings, praying to gods and Primordials, etc), and one hour on prayer to the Incarnae.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A week of training is thus 56 hours, a month 224 hours, a season 672 hours, and a year 3360 hours.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Specialties==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Increasing Specialties counts as increasing the current ability+specialty as if it were an ability, and then cutting the time required in half. Each specialty requires 2 XP.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Natural Affinity==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Each hour spent training a favoured or aspect ability counts as two hours training time due to natural affinity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Training without a Trainer==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Each hour spent training WITHOUT the aid of a trainer or tutor counts as only 1/2 an hour of training time.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Training with a Manual==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Each hour spent training WITHOUT a trainer, but WITH a training aid such as a high-quality manual counts as 3/4 of an hour of training time. A manual used along with a trainer provides no benefit.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Back-to-Back Training==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If training is undertaken for seven or more consecutive days, an Endurance check must be passed… failure means the next day is wasted on rest and recovery.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Charm Requirements==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Charms do not spontaneously generate, and must be learned from trainers/manuals. A character attempting to learn a charm without the aid of either counts as trying to design that charm.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Designing Out-of-Aspect Charms==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Designing Charms out-of-Aspect is a difficult thing. Unless the character has mastered the relevant style of Immaculate Martial Arts or otherwise escapes elemental surchages on charms, required time is increased by x1.5
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Training Example==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''Sesus Mraka wants to learn his first point of Thrown. It is not favoured and he has no teacher. Mraka will have to complete a total of 336 hours of training. If he goes out back to chuck chakrams for an hour alone every morning, he'll get that first point after 12 months.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Which may seem long, but considering he's going from no knowledge at all to passable combat accuracy without any outside help, its rather impressive.''
