Charms
Martial Arts
- Martial Arts Second Martial Arts Excellency(Martial Arts 1, Essence 1, pg): 2m per success. Reflexive (step 1 for attacker, Step 2 for Defender), Combo-OK, Instant.
- For every 2 motes spent on this charm, the character adds one success to the relevant roll. You cannot spend more than Attribute+Ability on this charm.
(Revised)Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style
- DPCS (Revised)Demure Carp Feint(Martial Arts 2, Essence 1): 4m, Reflexive, Combo-OK, Social, One Action.
- The Exalt is a picture of demure repose and courtly grace. A coy look shielded by a fluttering fan, or a smile hidden behind a sleeve. When using this charm, the Exalt distracts or confuses their opponents with a fan, a prop, or even just a simple wave of the hand.
In Combat, this charm adds +2 or [Essence] to the character's DVs. In Social Combat, any attacks suffer a -2 external penalty for being unable to see past the subtle distraction.
- DPCS (Revised)Lethal Paper Fan Attack(Martial Arts 3, Essence 1) 3m, Supplemental, Obvious, Combo-OK, Instant.
- Paper and silk become deadly weapons in the hands of a Dreaming Pearlescent Courtesan master. Innocuous props, or even their own clothing can become instruments of battle. When this charm is active, all sashes, sleeves and long hems are treated as seven-section staves, and all paper fans or similar hand-held props are treated as wind-fire wheels. This Charm replace the stats for an unarmed attack with either wind-fire wheels, or a seven-section staff. Alternatively, this charm can enhance an actual weapon. This is still considered an unarmed strike for the purposes of other Martial Arts Charms. All improved attacks deal Lethal damage. Further, you may add [Essence] to one of either Damage, Accuracy or Defense, or reduce the weapon's Speed by [Essence], but to no lower than 3. If this charm is being applied to actual weapons, you may not enhance the damage, but may wield it with far greater accuracy, speed or defense.
Performance
- Performance Respect Commanding Attitude(Performance 3, Essence 2, pg 202): 5m, Simple (Speed 4 in long ticks), Combo-OK, Compulsion, Social, One Scene.
- Others listen when Lawgivers speak. This Charm involves a performance or oration, and the Solar's player rolls (An appropriate Social Attribute + Performance) when invoking Respect Commanding Attitude. This Charm exerts unnatural mental influence on everyone who can see or hear the character. If the extra successes exceed a given target's MDV, that target suffers a compulsion to stay in the Exalt's company and respectfully observe the performance. Resisting this compulsion for five minutes costs one Willpower, up to a maximum of three Willpower per scene, and such resistance allows the target to leave, heckle, or even forcibly silence the character.
Athletics
- Athletics Graceful Crane Stance (Athletics 1, Ess 2, Pg 222): 3m, Reflexive, Combo-OK, Instant, One Scene.
- This charm lets the character automatically succeed on any attempt to keep their balance. In addition, it lets them to keep their footing on a surface as strong and wide as a human hair. The Exalt treats the given surface as a three foot wide ledge capable of supporting a thousand pounds of weight when determining what movement and athletic actions can be taken.
- Athletics Feather-Foot Style (Athletics 4, Ess 2, Pg 225): 4m, Reflexive, Combo-OK, Instant, One Scene.
- This charm lets the character run or walk on unstable surfaces (using the move and dash actions, as if she weighed no more than a feather. This makes surfaces such as rice paper, water, lava and writhing maggots as effectively solid beneath her feet, though not necessarily harmless. To stop and stand on such surfaces requires a successful reflexive difficulty 2 (Dexterity + Athletics) roll for each action in which the character wishes to maintain balance.
Awareness
- Awareness Second Awareness Excellency(Awareness 1, Essence 1, pg): 2m per success, Reflexive, Combo-OK, instant.
- The Exalt may pay up to [Attribute + Awareness] in dice, for every 2m spent, add 1 success to the relevant roll.
- Awareness Keen (Sense) Technique(Awareness 3, Essence 2, pg 225): 3m, Reflexive, Combo-OK, One Scene.
- Essence enhances the Solar's Senses. This charm gives two bonus successes on Awareness actions using the relevant senses. It also allows the character to clearly percieve sensory impressions that are normally too faint for human senses to validly observe at all.
- Hearing and Touch: The character can gauge the quality of fabric with a touch. She reduces the external penalty to target unseen characters to -1 and the internal penalty from blindess to -2. She can hear conversations normally through thick stone walls. With a legendary success, she can read by touch.
Dodge
- Dodge Shadow over Water(Dodge 3, Essence 1, pg) 1m, Reflexive(step2), Combo-OK, Instant.
- The chosen moves like shadows over water, with perfect grace and speed. This charm is used in response to an attack. It allows the Exalt to ignore all penalties that apply to her Dodge DV when resolving that attack. Her dodge DV is still 0 against an undodgable attack, but takes no further penalties.
Resistance
- Resistance Ox-Body Technique (Resistance 1, Ess 1, pg 208):--, Stackable, Permanent.
- This charm adds one -1 and two -2 health levels.
