 This Charm is explicitly allowed to Combo with Charms that increase Strength + Athletics for purposes of lifting or breaking. Such Charms operate as though the character's base Athletics score was equal to his (Brawl + Essence) x 2, rather than its normal value.
-<i><b>Example: </i></b><br>
+<i><b>Example: </b></i><br>
 <i>Aziz wakes up chained to a wall in the Emir's dungeon! Aziz strains against his bonds, but his Strength + Athletics = 4+4 = 8 is not enough to break the iron shackles (difficulty 14 to break). However, Aziz then activates Bond-Shattering Strength. Instead of Strength + Athletics, he uses Strength + (Brawl+Essence)*2 = 4+(5+3)*2 = 20. With a titanic surge of power, the Solar wrestler snaps the shackles and sets off to rescue Saffiya from the Emir's clutches.</i>

-One day, I was thinking about how everyone always makes up new MartialArts styles; I may also have been thinking about one of the "Brawl Sucks (compared to MA)" threads that occasionally pop up on the WhiteWolf Exalted forum. This quickly ballooned into the mess of Charms you see here.
+One day, I was thinking about how everyone always makes up new [[MartialArts]] styles; I may also have been thinking about one of the "Brawl Sucks (compared to MA)" threads that occasionally pop up on the [[WhiteWolf]] Exalted forum. This quickly ballooned into the mess of Charms you see here.
-My inspiration for these came from all sorts of places, including Superman, Muhammad Ali (<i>Baiting the Incautious Foe</i> was almost called <i>Dope-Roping Method</i>), pro wrestling, various versus and side-scrolling fighting games, and even D&D3's "Attack of Opportunity" rules. The overall design strategy was to create something that was the "opposite" of MartialArts. MA trees are generally pretty "deep" -- they don't branch much, and the objective is always to work your way down to the supermove at the bottom. I tried to make my Brawl Charms "broad" -- branching out in many directions, with no one path being more appealing than the other. I also tried to keep a distinct flavor to the Charms, by excluding some of the mainstays of other Solar combat trees. Scene-long powers, and defensive powers in general, were eschewed in favor of increasingly-devastating attack moves. I think this turned out pretty well in the end; it certainly got the best reception of any Charms I have posted on the WW forum.

 Regardless of the target's soak, the number of damage dice rolled on a successful attack will always be at least equal to the Exalt's permanent Essence score or his Strength, whichever is lower. This effect will not penetrate defenses that completely negate damage. Such defenses include Invulnerable Skin of Bronze and Lunar oversoak, but not starmetal armor; such armor subtracts one from rolled damage, rather than negating attacks outright.
-PowerCombat: Stinging Bee Method costs 1 mote, and sets the minimum damage of an attack equal to the user's Brawl. If the attack hits, it will do at least that many dice of damage, regardless of soak or the Charm user's Strength.

(Example: Sora has Brawl 5, but only Strength 1. She punches Jun the Iron Mountain with one success, using Stinging Bee Method. Jun is wearing armor with a hardness of 3. Jun takes no damage, because Sora's raw damage is only 2. If Jun were not wearing armor, Sora would roll 5 dice of damage, regardless of his natural soak.)
