== Foreword ==

''Once there was a Maiden... ... who ran the land proud and fierce! She was very angry, and everything she touched hurt. And none dare cage her Majesty! One day, soldiers approached... and she bared her feral mien! And as the glib soldiers approached, she struck them down. The Soldiers were many, and the Maiden was forced to flee... But within every movement she dashed between their blades, so none could find And Between every shadow, she pounced. As the Soldiers surrounded her, she summoned all her power... ...and as each soldier struck, she fed them their hearts. "Never entrap that which cannot be tame", they said. ''

The second canon Martial Art ever...

It needed some extra life breathed into it ^_^

Form Weapon is Tiger Claws. All Charms are compatible with armor unless otherwise noted.

=== Student Techniques ===

'''''Crimson Leaping Cat Technique''''' 
'''Cost:''' 3 motes 
'''Duration:''' Instant 
'''Type:''' Supplemental 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 3 
'''Min. Essence:''' 1 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' None 
The adept charges her form with Essence, moving with the speed and agility of a leaping tiger descending on her prey. When she uses this Charm, the adept advances upon her opponent and makes the most of her momentum -- each yard the Adept moves before attacking add 1 die to the dice pool of an unarmed Martial Arts attack up to the Adept's natural dice-adding caps. The character using this Charm is expressely permitted to save her movement to move between attacks -- Tiger adepts fight as whirling dervishes! While this Charm is dependent upon movement, it does not generate it.

'''''Striking Fury Claws''''' 
'''Cost:''' 2 motes 
'''Duration:''' Instant 
'''Type:''' Supplemental 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 2 
'''Min. Essence:''' 1 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' None 
The adept charges her hands with essence, which twist and harden like deadly tiger's claws, swift as the wind and sharp as her guile! Unarmed attacks enhanced by this Charm increase their damage by the Adept's Wits. Their damage is always Lethal.

'''''Tiger's Eye Defense''''' 
'''Cost:''' 3 motes 
'''Duration:''' Instant 
'''Type:''' Reflexive 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 2 
'''Min. Essence:''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' None 
In response to an attack the character adopts the mien of a hunting tiger, her eyes becoming that of a tiger's and shining on against the light like gems.

Those caught by this light instantly balk before the predator's might! This reduces his successes on the attack by the adept's successes on an Essence + Presence roll.

=== The Form ===

'''''Tiger Form''''' 
'''Cost:''' 5 motes 
'''Duration:''' One Scene 
'''Type:''' Simple 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 4 
'''Min. Essence:''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Crimson Leaping Cat Technique, Striking Fury Claws, Tiger's Eye Defense 
The adept adopts the attitude of a raging tiger - crouching, ready to spring on its prey. She adds her Martial Arts rating to the damage of all her attacks and to her base running, sprinting and leaping distances. In addition, the adept can inflict and block lethal damage unarmed without a stunt and ignores all penalties from fighting prone. Tiger Form is not compatible with armor of any sort and consider all attacks made with Tiger Claws to be unarmed attacks. This is a Martial Arts Form-type Charm and is incompatible with other Charms of like type; should the martial artist activate another Form, this one immediately ends. This Charm is incompatible with armour.

=== Mastery Techniques ===

'''''Raging Tiger Pounce''''' 
'''Cost:''' 4 motes 
'''Duration:''' Instant 
'''Type:''' Supplemental 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 4 
'''Min. Essence:''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Tiger Form 
The character strikes with such force that anything struck by them falls before their might, leaving deadly wounds!

The adept's attack has its damage increased by her Permanent Essence rating, and all those struck by it are instantly and perfectly knocked down. Only magical effects that mantain perfect balance may resist knockdown by this Charm.

'''''Stalking Cat Meditation''''' 
'''Cost:''' 8 motes 
'''Duration:''' One Scene 
'''Type:''' Simple 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 4 
'''Min. Essence:''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Tiger Form 
Like the tiger, the adept can stealthly strike her prey, her eyes becoming feline, her step light. Whenever she tries to sneak up on an opponent she receives her Martial Arts score in dice to all Stealth and Awareness rolls.

Those bonii only incur when the character is stalking her prey, not when she is running from danger or about to steal something. An adept under this Charm can also ignore all penalties due to low light, but not due to complete darkness.

'''''Racing Shadow Movement''''' 
'''Cost:''' 4 motes 
'''Duration:''' Instant 
'''Type:''' Supplemental 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 5 
'''Min. Essence:''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Stalking Cat Meditation 
As she retreats from strike, the adept seems to disappear, but a shadow on the edge of vision, confusing her opponents. After an attack, successful or not, enhanced by this Charm she is able to vanish! She receives a Dexterity+Stealth roll adding her Wits in automatic successes to re-stablish her cover if at all possible. Opponents attempting to strike at her afterwards must find her in the usual manner - dedicating a dice-action to look for them with a Perception+awareness roll. For the purposes of defensive Charms in this Style(such as ''Tiger's Eye Defense''), consider the Wits + Awareness location roll an attack. The Adept's location is revealed if she attacks.

'''''Leap from Cloaking Shadows Attack''''' 
'''Cost:''' 1 motes 
'''Duration:''' Instant 
'''Type:''' Supplemental 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 5 
'''Min. Essence:''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Racing Shadow Movement 
The adept can spring from cover with all the power of a Tiger striking an unsuspecting gazelle!

When the adept strikes an unaware opponent with this Charm she doubles her extra successes against her victim -- after Defense but before Damage is applied. Effects that protect against surprise, such as Surprise Anticipation Method, negate the use of this Charm.

'''''Celestial Tiger Hide''''' 
'''Cost:''' 5 motes, 1 willpower 
'''Duration:''' One Scene 
'''Type:''' Simple 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 5 
'''Min. Essence:''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Tiger Form 
Adopting the mien of the tiger, powerful in strength and pride, the character enhances his own form with the toughness of a tiger's hide, and the confidence of a mighty hunter, unhindered by minor threats!

The character adds her Martial Arts rating to her Natural Bashing and Lethal Soak and Hardness totals for the remainder of the scene. This Charm is incompatible with armor.

=== Ultimate Technique ===

'''''Angry Predator Frenzy Style''''' 
'''Cost:''' 7 motes, 1 willpower 
'''Duration:''' One Scene 
'''Type:''' Simple 
'''Min. Martial Arts:''' 5 
'''Min. Essence:''' 4 
'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Raging Tiger Pounce, Leap from Cloaking Shadows Attack, Celestial Tiger Hide 
Turning to keep all attackers at bay, the tiger thickens her skin and lashes out at all who dare attack the mightiest of predators! For the remainder of the Scene the adept may counterattack any close combat attack made against her with a dice pool equal to (her Martial Arts + the number of successes on the attack) -- the prowess of her opponents fuels her own muderous rage! These counterattacks happen after the roll to hit the adept but before damage is determined. The adept's rage harden her hide throughout her frenzied rampage, increasing her Bashing and Lethal Soak totals by an ammount equal to her Martial Arts rating for the remainder of the Scene. This Charm is incompatible with armor.

Sidereal Exalted, and those who learn this Charm as a Sidereal Charm, can enhance it with a prayer strip marked with the scripture of the Feral Maiden. The character coils it about her hands, wherein it wraps in the shape of radiant tiger-stripped claws that leave deep furrows in their targets, even able to claw through wood or iron-bound doors, or deeply score stone in a single blow! The adept ignores the Armor Soak of his opponents, as well as that of inanimate objects, each strike lowering the Stamina of his opponents by 1; opponents reduced to 0 Stamina do not have damage rolled against them - all damage dice come up as automatic successes. Lost Stamina returns at the rate of 1 dot per hour.
