New Keywords
Borgstromantic: Charms with the Borgstromantic keyword may have ambiguous wordings or effects. Should a situation ever arise such that the results or resolution of a Borgstromantic Charm cannot be determined by using the rules of Exalted, any player present may submit his own interpretation of how the situation should be handled. They must then roll the Essence of their character (the Storyteller, while he does not play any single character, always rolls ten dice). The winning player's interpretation is deemed correct for the remainder of the scene. Should any player be Jenna Moran, they automatically win the roll-off, as a Diegesis effect, but she may substitute another player's interpretation for her own if she decides that she likes it better.
Diegesis: Charms with the Diegesis keyword are capable of affecting the real world. They may target or affect players, the rules of Exalted or other games, and any statement made by White Wolf Games staff or freelancers.

Type: Permanent
Keywords: Borgstromantic, Diegesis
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Golden Shovel Meditation
The Solar Exalted are heroes of Creation–and of all other worlds. A character with this Charm may be used in any game, not just Exalted. Their traits are not converted into the rules of the system in which they are played–they still use Exalted's rules, referring to the Borgstromantic keyword to handle any difficulties in interpreting the results of this.
Rulebook-Revising Technique
Cost: 20m, 1wp
Mins: Linguistics 10, Essence 10
Type: Simple (Dramatic Action)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Borgstromantic, Diegesis
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: My Word Is Canon
The Solar Exalted are tired of waiting for Dreams of the First Age to get errata. This Charm is a dramatic action to break the fourth wall, and the Solar rolls (Intelligence + Linguistics) at a difficulty of 10. If his player is a freelancer for White Wolf Games, this roll instead automatically succeeds, as a Diegesis effect. If the Solar's roll succeeds, he may choose any printed rules text of the Exalted game. Official errata and statements made by White Wolf Games staff or freelancers are considered game rules as well. The Solar's player may revise the rule as he wishes, editing it or deleting it entirely. Alternatively, he may choose to create an entirely new rule. Changes to the rules of the game made by this Charm last for the duration of the chronicle.
Game-Transcending Apotheosis
Prerequisites: Essence 10, Silver Solar Hero
The Lunar Exalted are finally going to get their hands on Sidereal Martial Arts, damn it. A Lunar with this Knack may perform a sacred hunt to take the Heart's Blood of a player, as a Diegesis effect. Doing so is a dramatic action in which the Lunar's player must punch the target of the hunt in his face. Once the Lunar has successfully acquired the Heart's Blood of a player, he may shapeshift into them, allowing them to make his own character to continue interacting with the game of Exalted. Refer to the Borgstromantic keyword to handle any difficulties in interpreting the results of a character within the game playing it.
