This is for hacking.  The real mechanic is at HouseRulesOnBackgrounds.

We've changed several backgrounds: ExaltedHackingResources and those detailed below:

Karma Ritual

  You are connected to the Name of a Discipline, and draw mystic power from it.  You receive the following benefits on any day in which you do your Karma Ritual (a half-hour rite symbolizing your Discipline):

  1. 1 WP when you do your Ritual.

  2. 1 WP every morning and 2m/hour.

  3. A point of WP once during the day as a Reflexive action, 3m/hour

  4. 1 WP every twelve hours as a reflexive action, 4m/hour

  5. Every six hours, reflexively gain 1 WP.  6m/hour


Legend

   This is taken pretty directly from the Renown background in Lunars: everybody starts with 20, and background dots (or increased Essence) give you more.  You should detail what events gave you such great renown.  Also, divide your Renown between Glory (Valor), Succor (Compassion), Wisdom (Temperance), and Mettle (Conviction).  You can start with more Legend to mechanic a character who has acheived more before the game starts:
   
   1. +5 Legend
   
   2. +10 Legend
   
   3. +15 Legend
   
   4. +25 Legend
   
   5. +40 Legend
   
   Legend is directly tied to Circle.  The requirements for various Circles are discussed at ExaltedHackingAdvancement.
