All in all, I'm enjoying the 'recasting' of Exalted, and this book is no exception. This book greatly expands on the first edition book, and with the Realm setting shunted off into a companion volume (Compass of Celestial Directions 1: the Blessed Isle), the extra room is well-used in presenting Dragon-Blooded society, along with great ideas on how to run a DB-based campaign, as well as how to leverage DB's in a Solar-based campaign.

The charmset or "cool powers" of this book suffers from being written for a prototype 2E and was not actually written for the Second Edition Exalted as sold to players. This has been fixed with recent errata, but they *reprinted* the book without fixing some serious issues.

The "fluff" of Dragon Blood's origins is more thoroughly explained than in 1st edition. However, much of the Realm specific DB info is not included in this book, unlike in 1E. Instead, you now need to buy the Compass of Celestial Directions: The Blessed Isle.

The storytelling section is quite good, and they do emphasize the strong difference in the feel of the game players and ST's will experience.

Overall, I think this is a half decent product, certainly use-able, but for certain charms players need to create their own house-rules or print off the errata. 3 stars is my final grade.

I live in Brazil, and i got my book from another part of the globe ! I'm amazed, i never thought that was possible.. Amazon rocks ! thank you for exists !

Ok somehow the guys and girls at white wolf already know how to do excellent books and superb things. This is a great book. The first edition also was excellent but this second edition rulebook is AWESOME.

Full of great charms, rules, animas even better, more things to do and have.
The story is full of possibilties, every House is great and all trademark characters have been redefined. WOAW.

A must have. Trust me.
Worth every cent! [or pesos]

This is a great book

Exalted dragon-Blooded 1ed wos great but 2ed just as good fire aspect so get this book if you wot a Dragon-blooded.
