Effectiveness & class typing

Mechanic

Effectiveness & class typing

Bonus damage against class types, including each edition’s typing.

Effective weapons multiply their might against a class type — bows against fliers, armorslayers against armor, beastfoe weapons against transformed laguz. In vanilla the multiplier is ×3 on (weapon Mt + triangle Mt); Exalted’s value isn’t documented.

Every Exalted edition adds its own class typing: in the Dark edition dark-magic wielders and several other classes carry it, and weapons such as Micaiah’s Thani or Ike’s Ettard are effective against it.

Tutorial

In each version of Exalted, there's a unique class typing that changes depending on the specific one being played.

In Dark edition, wielders of dark magic will have this typing (), as well as several other classes.

Micaiah's Thani tome or Ike's Ettard will deal effective damage to foes of this typing, providing them with unique utility that adapts to other versions as well. There will also be specific weapons or units that deal similar bonus damage.
