Editing Slivers: Exalted Edition (section)

==The Basic Sliver==
A quick note: I'm drawing a good bit of inspiration from a conversion of Slivers done for D&D 3.5 that I saw once on ENWorld, the link to which I have sadly lost. I felt, however, that due credit ought to be given. Now, on to the Exalted edition...

Here's the basic template: a proto-sliver. This is what a newly hatched sliver is, think the tokens produced by the Sliver Queen. These evolve (in a cocoon) into more advanced types of Slivers. The time involved in this process varies depending on the exact type of Sliver the proto-sliver is attempting to become.

One final note is that Slivers round down like mortals, a certain type of Sliver will cause them to round up like Exalts.

===Attributes===
'''Strength:''' 3<br/>
'''Dexterity:''' 4<br/>
'''Stamina:''' 3<br/>
''Even the basic Sliver is still well-equipped physically. They are slightly more dexterous than they are strong or resilient.''<br/>

'''Charisma:''' 0<br/>
'''Manipulation:''' 0<br/>
'''Appearance:''' 1<br/>
''Slivers look alien and a proto-sliver is barely sapient. Accordingly, they're absolutely horrible socially, don't expect them to win any debates.''<br/>

'''Perception:''' 2<br/>
'''Intelligence:''' 1<br/>
'''Wits:''' 2<br/>
''As noted above, a proto-sliver barely sapient. It is, however, of average perceptiveness and reaction-time.''<br/>

===Abilities===
'''Athletics:''' 4<br/>
'''Awareness:''' 3<br/>
'''Dodge:''' 3<br/>
'''Integrity:''' 2<br/>
'''Martial Arts:''' 3<br/>
'''Presence:''' 1<br/>
'''Resistance:''' 3<br/>
'''Stealth:''' 2<br/>
'''Survival:''' 3<br/>
''The basic Sliver's innate skill set leaves it capable of fulfilling most basic functions a hive might require of it in the case of an emergency where a more specialized Sliver cannot be applied to the task.''<br/> 

===Other important bits===
'''Willpower:''' 7/5<br/>
''The high end as far as animals go, this is thanks to an innate mental bolstering and reinforcement by the hive-mind. Should the Sliver somehow be separated from the hivemind, its willpower will drop accordingly to 5 (While many types of Sliver do not possess virtues due to lack of sufficient sapience, high tier ones do and will have a willpower equal to their two highest virtues or 7, whichever is greater).''<br/>

'''Essence:''' 1 ''(Slivers are not, by default, capable of channeling essence)''<br/>

'''Health Levels:'''<br/>
-0x1/-1x2/-2x2/-4x1/I<br/>
''Slivers are resilient, but not incredibly so.''<br/>

'''Attacks:'''<br/>
Scythe Arm: (Speed 6, Accuracy 8, Damage 8L/2, Parry DV 3, Rate 2, Tags N, O)<br/>
''The Sliver's scythe-like arms/hands carry many of the same properties, but are slightly less damaging, lack the reach of the typical scythe, and are easier to parry with.''<br/>

'''DVs:'''<br/>
'''Dodge:''' 3<br/>
'''MDV:''' 3 ''(This value is only for if the Sliver is somehow separated from the hivemind, otherwise the MDV of all Slivers in the hivemind are equal to the highest MDV amongst the slivers comprising the hivemind)''<br/>

'''Soak:''' 3B/1L/0A<br/>
''Just the natural soak from stamina.''<br/>
