----
Claw Catches Fish
 Charm Cost: 2 motes
 Duration: Instant
 Charm Type:
 Minimum Martial Arts: 1
 Minimum Essence: 2
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The martial artist emulates the bear, hooking his hand and swatting at an opponents weapon, as if scooping a fish out of the water.

----
 
Rampaging Bear Attack

 Duration: Instant
 Charm Type: Extra Action
 Minimum Martial Arts: 2
 Minimum Essence: 2
 Prerequisite Charms: Claw Catches Fish
 The martial artist makes an attack against a single target with his whole pool and if successful may attack again at minus one dice.

 Duration: Instant
 Charm Type: Simple
 Minimum Martial Arts: 3
 Minimum Essence: 2
 Prerequisite Charms: Rampaging Bear Attack
 Like an angry bear the martial artist lets out a long, deep throated roar out into the area, scaring away lesser creatures. The martial artist rolls Stamina + Presence (and may add any applicable intimidation specialties to the roll). Anyone who hears the character rolls their willpower at difficulty of the number of successes on the martial artists intimidation roll. If they succeed they may act normally, if they fail the difficulty of their valour roll to face the martial artist increases by the difference between the two rolls. The strength and fury of this roar does not dissipate over distance and any who hear it feel its power. 
----
 
Celestial Bear Form
 Charm Cost: 5 motes
 Duration: Instant
 Charm Type: Simple
 Minimum Martial Arts: 3
 Minimum Essence: 2
 Prerequisite Charms: Tongues Warning
 The martial artist takes a moment to center himself around his center of gravity, and roars as he channels essence through his body adopting the solid stance of the fighting bear. For the remainder of the scene he adds his martial arts to his stamina (and adjusts his soaks accordingly), as well as choosing to deal lethal or bashing damage with his unarmed attacks. In addition the difficulty of blocking his attacks is increased by his permanent essence, as his strikes seem to have the weight of the great bear behind them. This form charm is compatible with armours, however not with weapons and cannot be used with any other form charm. 
----

 Duration: instant
 Charm Type: reflexive
 Minimum Martial Arts: 5
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite Charms: Overbearing Weight of the Bear

This counter attack takes place while damage is being dealt to the martial artist. 

----
 
Strength of the Raging Bear
 Charm Cost: 5 motes, 1 willpower, 1 health level
 Duration: One scene
 Charm Type: Simple
 Minimum Martial Arts: 5
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite Charms: Retribution from the Beast Within
 The martial artist takes a moment to commune with the mighty avatars of the bear, asking to borrow some of their strength during his fight for life, and offering up some of his own life force in return. For the remainder of the scene the martial artist gains a portion of the bears resilience increasing his strength, soak, and endurance. His permanent essence gets added to his strength, he gains a single point of hardness for his bashing soak and he may soak lethal with his full stamina. All his wound penalties are reduced to -1, but he enters into a bestial rage and yearns to maul his enemies and will not stop fighting until they are dead and all their bones broken. If he wishes not to kill an opponent he must succeed at a willpower roll with a difficulty of his conviction, if he wishes to stop fighting he must succeed at a willpower roll with a difficulty of his conviction + 1 for every enemy attacking him. While this charm is active the character is only aware of whoever he is fighting and may take no action other than to find another foe, if there are no more foes then the charm wears off.

-<br>The martial artist takes a moment to commune with the mighty avatars of the bear, asking to borrow some of their strength during his fight for life, and offering up some of his own life force in return. For the remainder of the scene the martial artist gains a portion of the bears resilience increasing his strength, soak, and endurance. His permanent essence gets added to his strength, he gains a single point of hardness for his bashing soak and he may soak lethal with his full stamina. All his wound penalties are reduced to -1, but he enters into a bestial rage and yearns to maul his enemies and will not stop fighting until they are dead and all their bones broken. If he wishes not to kill an opponent he must succeed at a willpower roll with a difficulty of his conviction, if he wishes to stop fighting he must succeed at a willpower roll with a difficulty of his conviction + 1 for every enemy attacking him. While this charm is active the character is only aware of whoever he is fighting and may take no action other than to find another foe, if there are no more foes then the charm wears off.<br>
