The illusions have a number of health levels equal to the martial artist’s permanent essence, all with no wound penalty.

Nice work so far. Only one I'm concerned with is Tantalizing Beauty Of The Flowing Escape, which is deadly in a situation where you've got a friend. You prevent him from acting, and you can't act, but your friend can rip him apart, and he can only use persistent defenses. No HGD, no full dodge, nothing. Dangerous indeed, especially for an Essence 1 Ability 1 charm. At the same time, the form seems underpowered, as there are other equivalent pre-req and cost forms that do much more. So you can work something out there, methinks. Otherwise, good work, and a nice submission. - GregLink

Thanks. I see your point, i have edited Tantalizing Beauty Of The Flowing Escape, to make it less powererful although it is actually an essence 2 ability 3 charm. The form type charm origionally did much more (essence to dexterity not just dodge) but on discussion with the G.M he deemed it too powerful (doesn't like things getting anywhere near solar level except solars :) ) I'll work on it, thanks again.

p.s what it now says in bracets for the form type charm is optional depending on how you think it should be.

Not to poke, but you're not quite there yet. Some positive steps forward, but not quite on both counts. (And Sorry GM, I think you're being too harsh). Look at Ebon Shadow Style, which ups the Diff to hit you by Essence. That's the equivalent (statistically) of 2*Essence Dodge dice, against anything, reflexively, even if that thing isn't able to be dodged. Plus, it 'hides' under the die adder cap, as you can still use your full die cap for both a parry and a dodge, as the Difficulty doesn't count towards that. Plus. Ebon Shadow gives you mad boosts to Stealth. I'd say that adding dice to dodge attempts isn't really enough, it would have to at least be a free reflexive dodge attempt, that adds to any other dodges tried. As for the Tantalizing one, so they can still defend themself - a bit. This 4m charm is still preventing them from hitting your allies. Take the recent FaFL fight with five Solars. Wouldn't it have been nice if he could only defend, not attack? To me, limiting them to only defense essentially makes your side unafraid of harm, and therefore unable to fully unload as much offense as they want, without fear of retribution, and thus needing to conserve actions or charm usage for the turn - GregLink

Just began a bit of play testing with Tantalizing Beauty Of The Flowing Escape. Result = too over powered
see the modified version above and let me know what you think. I have also modified the form type. thanks

Walksthewinds

The structure of this tree is a bit odd. It has no branches. I like it otherwise. - [[Wordman]]

I actually think this style is quite cool and am going to be using a slightly modified version of it on a character soon. For the most part, the Charms all work together extremely effectively and make for an excellent defensive style. It's a little reflexive-heavy, which would make it a good style for a Dragon-Blooded practitioner, but works fairly well for a Solar putting the Charms into a combo.
If I have any complaint about the style, it's the lack of any real manner of offense. The extra attacks from Flowing Foxfire Technique are quite nice, but the Charm itself is too costly to make it a good solution for a character who is focusing into the style and doesn’t want to “cherry pick” from other styles to cover offensive needs. On the other hand, without doing so the only option is generally to dodge forever and hope the other guy gets bored and leaves.
If it’s not too bold to suggest, with the styles high reliance on dodging and reflexive Charms, it is a prime candidate for some wicked counter-attack Charms. Counter-attacks would give the style some offensive kick, without really giving it the feel of an offense-focused style (which it clear is not) and fluffed up properly would tie in nicely to the theme of slyness and trickery that seems prevalent in the style. These could easily form the branches [[Wordman]] suggested as well.
Just a thought! Either way, nice job on this Walksthewinds. Hope to see you finishing it up soon. ^_^ - [[Greymane]]
