Mage the Awakening Screen Book

The signature artifacts of Exalted (Daiklaves, basic hearthstones, etc.) are found in the core book, so I wouldn't say this is an essential sourcebook for the game, but I think it's one that new players will gravitate to early on if they have access to it.

There are a lot of interesting items here, either to use outright or to inspire other designs. Three or four items from the book have found their way into the campaign I'm currently playing in after only a few sessions.

This is a book that every Exalted Storyteller is going to want to add to their collection eventually, if only for inspiration, and is one that players should probably consider getting.
