Editing Exalted Versus World of Darkness (section)

==Essence==

The building blocks of the universe, and the fuel of the Exalted's superhuman skills, ambient Essence is a rare resource these days in the worn-out World of Darkness. Barring very specific circumstances (listed below), the Chosen can no longer draw Essence directly from the environment, and instead rely on the Essence that gets internally renewed within them daily. 

Solars, Infernals, Dragon-Blooded, and Alchemicals regain 5 plus their Essence rating at sunrise (regardless on whether or not they see the sun itself).  Abyssals, Sidereals, and Lunars on the otherhand, regain the same amount of Essence at sunset.

The other ways of regaining Essence are as follows:

* Each Caste and Aspect have unique ways of quickly Essence for a scene (detailed in their individual entries).  If they meet the conditions, they instantly gain 3 points of Essence.

* Resting within a Dragon Nest for 15 minutes restores 1 point of Essence.

* Solars, Lunars, Sidereals, and Dragon-Blooded regain 1 point of Essence for every three hours spent in the Spirit World.

* Abyssals regain 1 point of Essence for every three hours spent in the Underworld.

Traveling to these Realms require specific Charms of course, but these are readily (and in some cases, ''instinctively'') available for learning.
