−	Though it seems an unlikely coupling, the maidens of Serenity and Battles are not foreign to each other.

When the martial artist activates this charm, he rolls a number of dice equal to the raw damage of the attack. Each success (up to a maximum of his martial arts) gives him an amount of essence equal to the attackers permanant essence in motes. After all, the greater the foe, the greater the excitement of surviving battle with him.

−
−	A true warrior knows that the secret to winning is simple. "Get there the Fastest with the Mostest". With this charm, the warrior unifies this philosophy of battle, embracing it, as achieving one goal inevitably brings about the other. The martial artist adds a number of dice to a single unarmed martial arts attack equal to the number of yards he has moved since his last combat action. These dice cannot exceed his martial arts+dexterity, and count against his dice cap.

−	The martial artist assumes the attitude of Mars, she makes her sign of Battle and Glory. All friends and foes within the battle with the martail artist as treated is their valor was 1 point higher, for any effects that would cause them to quit the battle before death or incapicatation. In addition, the martial artist is assured of surviving to see glory in battle. Reduce all damage against the martial artist by one half his permanant essence score(rounding up). This is a specific exception to the rule that an opponents dice pool cannot be reduced below their own permanant essence. This effect cannot reduce damage below 1 damage die per attack, though it is compatible with other effects that may.

−	~~Prereqs: Crimson Panoply of Victory Form~~
−
−	The martial artist calls upon the ancient pact between the world, and the warriors who defend it. The earth, the air, the weapons he bears, and even his opponent aid his cause. He may reduce the difficulty of any roll to resist a combat manuever (trip, tackle, disarming, etc) by 1 for every two motes of essence he spends. If the difficulty is reduced to zero, he automatically suceeds.

−
−	None surpass the Red Maiden, Mars, in matters of tactics. The martial artist, however, has learned to use her insights to aid him. For every 2 motes he spends, he raises the difficulty to resist a combat manuever by 1. He may not add more than his permanant essence in difficulty to any one manuver.

−	~~Glorious Crimson Assault~~
−	~~Cost: 3 motes per ally~~
−	~~Type: Extra Action~~
−	~~Duration: Instant~~
−	~~Minimum MA: 5~~
−	~~Minimum Ess: 3~~
−	~~Prereqs: Divine Battle Strategm~~
−
−	The martial artist becomes, for one moment, the very batte he is fghting. His subordinates and allies immediately know his will, and his eyes spots openings that mere gods or exalts would miss. For every three motes the martial artist spends, one ally in his line of sight may make a reflexive unarmed martial arts attack against the same target, if they can reach the target with their attacks (they may move to reach the target as well). The martial artist may be one of these allies. Any charms in a combo with Glorious Crimson Assault apply to the attacks made by his allies, though they do not count as a charm use for any save the martial artist. The allies of the martial artist make their own attack rolls, with their own ability and attribute scores. and may enhance this reflexive attack with their own charms, if they so choose.
−
−	Note that the validity of the unarmed martial arts attack is judged by the ally. So an ally who was in Air Dragon form could make his attack enabled by this charm with a chakram. However, if the martial artist who initiated this charm comboed it with Spine Shattering Bite, the attack made by the ally must be unarmed, or with tiger claws, as the charm requires.

−
−	The martial artist clothes himself in the mein of a mighty hero. Heaven and the Maiden of Battles smiles on heroes, and it is the destiny of all true heroes to remain, the last one standing on the field of the slain. When the martial artist activates this charm, he gains a number of temporary -0 health levels equal to his permanant essence. If the martial artist reactivates this charm it takes effect again, replacing the previous effects. A Sidereal, or someone who learns this as a Sidereal Charm, may enhance it with a prayer strip with the Scripture of the Expectant Maiden. If he does so, the prayer strip wraps around the hilt of his heapon or his wrist, and it streams behind him as a ribbon, bright and scarlet with black letters. For as long as the prayer strip persists, the enemies of the martial artist subtract his permanant essence from the number of health levels healed by any charm or effect. This may reduce the amount of healing to 0.

That's a kinda liberal reading of the Form-compatibility rules, though, I think. :) - [[David.]]
