Cavalcade of Confluences

Babylon 5 and Exalted are excellent at naming things. I like both. Enjoy this this or that which is somewhere between both. Exalted Charms or Spells are taken from 3rd Edition or Exalted Essence. Babylon 5 descriptions are taken from the B5 midwinter website. ("The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5") 11 this-or-that questions between 'Babylon 5 Episodes' or 'Exalted 3rd Ed'.
