Exalted Helper

As an Exalted storyteller, I try to keep things streamlined for my players. This app can help if things get hectic, as I can hand my phone to someone and let them work out what they need. Aside from that, it is just as easy to just do the math manually.

The numbers used for the travel time function are wrong. For everything else, there are better ways.

As there are no real Exalted support apps, at least for Android, this is a very welcome addition. However, it has significant flaws even in its fairly basic functions. * The die roller basically works, but gives no option for not counting 10s twice, requiring you to manually discount them for damage rolls. You also can't adjust the target number for things like Essence Auspicious. * The multiple attack calculator is good in theory, but not transparent, giving only total successes and not individual dice. It also reports 'excess' successes, when total would be more useful (you add the total, not the excess, to damage). It also only seems to apply onslaught penalty for successful attacks, which isn't how it works. * The mote calculator is slightly useful, but not really something one does during the game. It also bizarrely lists "Deathlord" as a character type. * The travel time calculator is actually just fine. It could be good with improvements, but it's not getting them, and being stuck as-is it's really not terribly helpful.

I'll admit the app is great, though I would like to see more of the exalt types in the motes calculator.

It sure would be nice if some of those fields were labeled. Works well however once you figure things out.
