Lintha get Solar charms.

Solar charms.

They heal as Exalts.

Get Solar Charms.

Stunt.

Heal as Exalts, get Solar charms, and Stunt.

You realize that, for starting sheet comparisons at least, they're more
potent than Lunars.

That's just so wrong.

If they weren't evil mandingle-cutting slave-taking pirate-demons, that
would be uncool.

The Lintha don't get Solar Charms because they're supposed to be of
comparable power to Solars, though. They get Solar Charms because Geoff
wanted them to use a power set everyone had, so Blood & Salt wouldn't be
dependent on other sourcebooks. And it was being developed close enough
to the Players Guide that neither author could refer to the other's work.

They don't get /many/ Solar Charms, and their dice adders can't add more
dice than their Attributes.

I've only noticed that particular cap in reference to, er, the warrior
of the 2nd kur. I forget his name. None of the other Linthas had that
cap noted, IIRC.

And, really, still. They got CS's like starting solars.

Though yeah, I know that they were written up as they were because the
book was being developed parallel to the PG. I didn't know it was
because they weren't meant to be on par with Solars, though; I assumed
it was because it was easier to use Solar charm names than spend page
count on infernal charms.

I believe it's listed as a universal rule somewhere.
