Line 3:
** Heir of Siberys -- [[Eberron]] dragonmark, turned [[Up to Eleven]].
** Extreme Explorer -- Kind of like being [[Indiana Jones]], really.
** Archmage -- is able to sacrifice high-level spell slots to get things like <s>''[[Kill It Withwith Fire|six fireball spells per day]]''</s> 2 '''Time Stops''' (9th level spell) a day at the cost of a 9th level slot (and it can be done 5 times).
*** It also makes blasting a bit more viable. Imagine what it does with the actually worthwhile spells...
** Pyrokineticist -- [[Kill It Withwith Fire]], well, psionic fire anyway.
** Risen Martyr -- "Hey look, I died, and now I can do all this awesome shit!"
*** Wait, SERIOUSLY? ''D'' includes a prestige class that makes you JESUS? HOLY SHIT!
Line 16:
* Any RPG character will level up through the course of the game.
* If you're playing ''[[Deadlands]]'', ''death'' can be step one to taking that level. Just ask {{spoiler|Abe Lincoln}} who came back from the dead to run the Union's monster-hunting agency.
* The [[Warhammer 40000|Imperial Guard]] took a whole bunch of levels in bad ass this year after they got a new codex that's actually good. Also an example of [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]] since IG and IG players were Games Workshop's favorite [[Butt Monkey]].
** Space Marines also took a few levels in badass with their Fifth Edition Codex, the most notable being the Captain's Weapon Skill boost and the Chapter Master's Call Orbital Bombardment ability.
** The Eldar got a significant boost with the rules changes in the Fifth Edition rulebook that combine with existing powers to make their [[Glass Cannon|Falcons]] tougher than [[Mighty Glacier|Land Raiders]].
Line 24:
** The [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Lunars]] combines [[Took a Level In Badass]] with [[Took a Level In Kindness]]. By definition, a Lunar is a Steward, he or she lives to protect something as opposed to Solar Lawgivers who live to master something. Of course, in Creation, [[Good Is Not Nice]]...
** [[Back From the Dead|The Abyssals]] combines [[Took a Level In Badass]] with [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]. Well, their job description basically can be summed to "go murder Creation".
** [[Deal Withwith the Devil|The Green Sun Princes]] is just like Abyssal, except it's "go make Creation a living hell". It's an even more ([[Light Is Not Good|green-]])shining example of taking levels in badass compared to the Solars. While Solars exalted by proving their badassitude, the Infernals are exalted by ''failing to prove'' their badassitude. They sucked so much they had to make a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]] to take levels in badass.
*** Infernals get to take another level with the [[Faustian Rebellion]] Heresy charms. Want to prove your awesome in a way no other Exalt can? Take the power the Yozis have given you, then use it to break, rewrite or cheat every control measure they've loaded on, then build a charmset that embodies You As A Primordial in the same way that the Malfeas charmset embodies Malfeas, then start spawning ''your own [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Third Circle Demons]]''.
