Those not familiar with Exalted, please seek out the Core Rulebook first.

The Second Edition update of the Sidereals is a superb book, made much more readable, understandable, and enjoyable by the removal of information on Yu-Shan to the Compass of Celestial Directions book of the same name. A few of the charm mechanics need fixing, but errata can be found on the White Wolf Exalted Forums or the White-Wolf Wiki.

So far I have read half the book and it is amazing!

Lots of new stuff, amazing intrigues and even more paranoia for the Viziers of Creation, Charms have been adapted to new rules and that leaves em pretty ok, Many of them have been powered down and more of them defined, and the Exalted Curse laid upon them has been redefined and reviewed as to have now a system.

I like the way that now Siderials are not as powerful as in the first edition where they could best a solar with no trouble. Now they are more like a celestial-type Exalted with pros and cons. Lots of stuff to do, YuShan and all Creation at their fingertips. New ideas about the Loom of Fate and a Sixth Maiden.

Just have to finish it soon and I can tell it is a good supplement for a good Exalted chronicle. The only Siderial Martial Art is the Violet Bier of Sorrows. Just one Celestial Sorcery spell. Plenty of names of new gods that work on Yu-Shan (that I guess will be stat-defined in the upcoming book of Sorcery IV)

So far... great book!

It is what I was looking for, and what I wanted. No problems in it's shipping, and it arrived in excelent condition.
