= Solar Hero Style =

=== Notes ===

This Style is my personal take on Solar Hero, but it borrows and steals a lot of ideas and Thematics 
from Black Paper Moon and Inugami (Tornado Wolf). I really appreciated their ideas because it helped 
me visualize how a Solar should fight and create charms to back it up. Thanks!

Solar Hero is a style emulating a mighty world shaking warrior. This style uses weapons that 
enhance normal attacks (Smashfists and God-Kicking Boots) and improvised weapons. The stylist 
may wear full armor with the style.

 Fists of iron 
Cost: 3m
Duration: Martial Arts score in actions
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 2 Essence 1
Prerequisites: None

The Solar infuses her hands with the strength of her essence and strikes out like the Unconquered 
Sun. This Charm enhances enhances a Martial Art attack made with this Styles form weapons by adding 
one to accuracy, two to damage, making damage lethal, allowing the parrying of lethal or ranged 
attacks, and making objects wielded as improvised weapons immune to damage from being used to 
attack or defend, if the Solar wishes. 

 Sledgehammer Fist Punch 
Cost: 3m
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Obvious
Minimums: MA 3 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Fists of Iron

This Charm is also called the "Pillar-Breaking Blow" The Lawgiver's anima flares, and he strike 
like the judgment of Heaven. This Charm supplements an unarmed Martial Arts attack against an 
inanimate Object, doubling Raw(pre-soak) damage of the attack. 

 Solar Hero Form 
Cost: 6m
Duration: scene
Type: Simple
Keywords: Obvious, Form-type
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Sledgehammer Fist Punch

The Solar suffuses his body with the Essence of the Sun. He becomes a paragon of strength and skill, 
radiant with the power of the legendary hero returned. There is nothing formal to this fighting 
style, but there is an unstoppable and unchallengeable grace to it. This Charm allows the Exalt to 
count the successes of a Martial Arts attack using this styles form weapons twice for the purpose 
of determining damage. She must spend one mote reflexively in step 7 of attack resolution each 
time she takes advantage of this effect. This Charm also allows the character to use improvised 
weapons much more effectively. An attack with an improvised weapon is compared to the natural 
attack it most resembles, a jab with an object becomes a punch, and swing is a kick, and entangling 
a target in an object is a clinch. Any weapon statistic that is inferior to the natural version is 
upgraded to the stat of the natural attack, while keeping all the statistics at which it is superior. 

 Heaven Thunder Hammer 
Cost: 3m
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Solar Hero Form

The fury of the Lawgivers scatters their enemies like leaves before a storm. This Charm supplements 
a Martial Art attack made with form weapons. It insures the attack throws his enemy backward one yard 
for each point of raw damage. Targets that strike hard objects take one die of damage for each yard 
they would otherwise have traveled. This damage is usually bashing but can be lethal if the target 
strikes a sufficiently dangerous object. At Essence 3 this charm is ungraded. If an object struck with 
this is hit in sufficient damage to be destroyed, the Solar may spend one mote to preserve the objects 
integrity until it reaches the end of the distance the Charm is sending it. Alternatively if a larger 
object could have been completely destroyed this would allow all the force to concentrate on part of an object 
sending it flying while leaving the rest of the object intact. This need not be the piece adjacent to 
the strike location. 

 Crashing Wave Throw 
Cost: -
Duration: -
Type: Permanent
Keywords: none
Minimums: MA 5 Essence 3
Prerequisites: Heaven Thunder Hammer.

This Charm upgrades its prerequisite with the following effects. The Stylist may choose to send the 
target straight up (Martial Arts x 3) yards or horizontally for (Martial Arts x 6) yards instead of 
the damage based distance. They may activate this charm when in control of a clinch to throw the 
target this distance. They may also use the target as an improvised weapon against another target. 
The improvised weapon is at -3 accuracy and +4 damage. The attack on the second target operates as 
a counter-attack, thus it cannot be used on a counter attack, it inflicts a -1 penalty on Solar's DV, 
and the target cannot respond with counter attacks. 

 Golden-Essence Block 
Cost: 3m
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Counter-Attack
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Solar Hero Form

The Essence-driven fists of the Solar Exalted do not flinch from attacks but rise to meet them. This 
Charm alters the way a solar blocks an incoming attack. The Solar does not get to use their DV on an 
attack but instead attacks it reflexively themselves. They make a Strength + Martial Arts roll against 
the attacking fist or weapon and if they gather enough successes equal to the higher of target's strength 
or the weapon's damage bonus it stops the attack. Blocking lethal weapons requires another charm or stunt. 
Any leftover successes after stopping the attack apply as damage dice, which may be boosted by Solar Hero 
Form, or Sledgehammer Fist Punch. This counts as a counter-attack. 

 Hammer on Iron Technique 
Cost: 3m 1wp
Duration: Instant
Type: Extra Action
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Golden Essence Block

The Lawgiver's arts of battle bring an unrelenting punishment to their enemies. This Charm is a magical 
flurry of many Martial Arts attacks. The Exalt makes a total number of attacks equal to (Essence + 1). 
This Charm lets the Solar make these attacks regardless of Rate, without multiple weapon penalties and 
a DV penalty equal to the highest penalty for any one attack. All attacks must be against the same target. 

 Glorious Shockwave Technique 
Cost: 3m 1wp 1Lhl
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Obvious, Knockback
Minimums: MA 5 Essence 3
Prerequisites: Hammer on Iron Technique, Crashing Wave Throw

The Solar's anima explodes outward as a powerful wave of golden essence. This is an unblockable, 
undodgeable attack that may extend up to twice his permanent Essence in yards in every direction, 
striking everyone, friend or foe indiscriminately. He may make a Martial Arts attack using his 
(Strength + Martial Arts + Essence) as a dice pool, this attack is applied fully and equally to 
all targets. This attack will also damage the Solar's surroundings, including the solid ground or 
rickety bridge that he may be standing on, but might also break physical bonds or restraints. Anyone 
or anything caught by this attack is removed from the Solar to outside the radius of the shockwave as 
a Knockback effect. This attack is explicitly allowed to be placed in a Combo with Heaven Thunder Hammer 
to enhance the Knockback effect. This Charm is explicitly allowed to replace a grapple check within a 
clinch, in which case Shockwave Technique perfectly breaks the Solar free of the clinch. For Solars, and 
only for true Solar Exalts, not others who can learn this style, the Solar Hero Form charm may be activated 
as a reflexive, innate ability instead of as a charm. This still costs the normal costs of the Charm and 
may not be activated with another form charm. This effect only works on the action during which Glorious 
Shockwave Technique is activated. 

== Solar Only Expansion Charms ==

=== Fast Attack Charms ===

 Thunderclap Rush Attack 
Cost: 1m
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 3 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Fists of Iron

When the Solar Exalt strikes, she is swifter than the lightning. This charm supplements a Martial Arts 
action so that its speed is reduced by 2 and the DV penalty is reduced by one. This may not bring an 
attack below Speed 3. 

 Hammering Solar Technique 
Cost: 3m
Duration: one action
Type: supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Thunderclap Rush Attack, Solar Hero Form

When the unconquerable hero presses their opponent they must fall or give way. This charm enhances a 
Solar's Martial Arts attacks by increasing their rate by 3 and removing 3 dice of multiple action penalties. 

 Awing Solar Rage 
Cost: -
Duration: n/a
Type: Permanent
Keywords: none
Minimums: MA 5 Essence 4
Prerequisites: Hammer on Iron Technique, Hammering Solar Technique

The Solar hero burns with power and moves like lightning. This charm enhances Hammer on Iron Technique 
and any custom Martial Arts Extra actions charms so the may add two more actions than normal. 

=== Threat Reducing Charms ===

 Fair Handed Weapon Hammer
Cost: -
Duration: n/a
Type: permanent
Keywords: none
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 3
Prerequisites: Golden Essence Block

The Solar Hero is a brutal but honest combatant, he can demand his foes face him the same. This charm 
enhances its prerequisite. As an alternative to using extra successes to damage target, he may use them 
to disarm his foe. By gaining a number of successes equal to targets strength + 2 after stopping the attack 
(or without stopping it if its that important) the Solar may knock his opponents weapon away at least one 
yard per extra success, which may be enhanced with Solar Hero Form power or Hammer Thunder Hammer. The +2 
refers to the external penalty for disarming and may be changed by effects that alter this penalty. This also 
allows the Solar to take the weapon or if weapon is natural weapon they may pull target into clinch instead of 
harming them, again they must achieve an extra strength successes over stopping the attack, or not stop the 
attack from hitting them, in order to pull the target in.

 Ox-Stunning Blow 
Cost: 3m
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Crippling, Stacking
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Solar Hero Form

The blow of a mighty hero can shake a foe to their core. This charm supplements a Martial Arts attack 
to deal wounds to an opponent. Every wound dealt by this charm causes an additional -1 wound penalty 
which stacks with normal wound penalties and itself. These penalties heal as the wounds that inflicted 
them do. There is no limit to the number of penalties a Solar may inflict, other than the health levels 
their target has. 

 Knockout Blow 
Cost: 5m 1wp
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Crippling, Obvious
Minimums: MA 5 Essence 3
Prerequisites: Ox-Stunning Blow

Solar Exalted can topple even behemoths with a Punch. This charm supplements a Martial Arts attack. 
The Solar forces a reflexive roll from target of Stamina + Resistance at a difficulty of Solar's 
successes on attack + Essence score. If the target fails and cannot resist crippling effects they 
are forced unconscious for the rest of the scene. The Lawgiver needs to inflict at least one level 
of damage for this effect to occur. 

 Merciful Hero Stance 
Cost: -
Duration: n/a
Type: Permanent
Keywords: Obvious
Minimums: MA 5 Essence 3
Prerequisites: Knockout Blow

Dolorous, the blows of a Solar certainly are, but their might contains room for gentleness. This Charm 
permanently enhances a solar so they may pull their blows for no penalty. They may also keep the 
damage of their attacks from wrapping around and upgrading, letting them only knockout, instead of kill 
another. Curiously the damage from the Solar continues to add up beyond the target's health levels. 
This means a target may take days or weeks to fully recover from the pounding they received even with 
out life threatening damage. This also allows the penalties from Ox-Stunning Blow to continue to stack. 
The effects of this charm are optional, the effects are not obviously supernatural, but it is obvious that 
the Solar is restraining themselves as they fight. Anyone watching can tell the Solar is trying not to 
hurt the other too badly. 

=== Clinch Charms ===

 Dragon Coil Technique 
Cost: 4m
Duration: until next action
Type: reflexive
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 3 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Fists of Iron

The grip of the Lawgiver's does not fail. This charm adds (Essence) successes to any attempt to achieve or 
escape a clinch. It also boosts the clinches damage by (Essence) and lets the Solar make it lethal damage if 
they want. At Essence 3+ the Solar may purchase this charm again to gain the ability to spend an extra wp 
to make the Clinch attempt perfect. The Clinch will always succeed even if its with a zero threshold over 
opponent. The bonuses of the first version of this charm still apply to perfect version. This charm may 
be stopped by perfect defenses before clinch is made but only another perfect clincher, or a perfect 
clinch breaker may escape it. A perfect clinch breaker beats this, but another perfect clinch merely cancels 
the perfection of both. This charm may explicitly be used when held in a clinch by another.

 Debris Entanglement Method 
Cost: 3m
Duration: scene
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Dragon Coil Technique, Solar Hero Form

The Solar need not rely on their presence to deal with their foes. This charm supplements an attempt to 
clinch a target using an improvised weapon, such as net, rope, collapsed wall, or a handful of nails. 
If the clinch succeeds the Solar may walk away leaving the target clinched in the weapon. Despite not 
being around, as long as the motes remain committed, the Solar can still reflexively roll against the 
target, they can even use charms like Excellencies and Dragon Coil Technique to help clinch the target. 
The Solar may only hold or damage the target with their clinch, not throw them. The solar uses the 
improvised weapon in question to modify their rolls. If the Target escapes the Charm ends immediately. 
If the Solar drops commitment, the target must still free themselves from the entanglement.

 Surpassing Efficacy Hold 
Cost: 3m
Duration: one scene
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Obvious
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
Prerequisites: Dragon Coil Technique, Solar Hero Form

The Solar need not exert his full force to hold someone within his grasp. This charm supplements an 
attempt to clinch. Instead of having to use their whole body the Solar clinches with the most minimal 
of effort, such as a thumb and forefinger, or teeth. They may apply their minimal effort to the most 
minimal of places, an ear, a tail, a pinky finger. Being able to hold targets this way may let the 
Solar hold multiple targets depending on how they are held. The Solar does not, of necessity lose their 
Defense value while clinching in this manner, although they may not give ground unless they can drag the 
held victim with them. 
This charm gives Clinching a rate equal to Solar's Essence, however all the clinches must have this charm 
applied to them, and to hold all the targets requires a flurry of clinches, inflicting multiple action 
penalties and DV penalties. Each turn the Solar must choose to flurry all the clinches, although they may 
choose a different order, and they take a penalty to DV equal to number of clinches, but they do not lose 
their DV just because they are in a clinch. If the Solar does not have the Strength + Athletics score to carry 
all their target's they have the -2 unable to give ground penalty to dodge DV. If target breaks free then 
this charm is broken for that target and must be re-activated to try again. This charm need not be re-activated 
just to hold targets though. 

 Self-Judgement Clinch 
Cost: -
Duration: n/a
Type: permanent
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Minimums: MA 4 Essence 3
Prerequisites: Debris Entanglement Method, Surpassing Efficacy Hold

The Lawgiver forces their foes to pass judgment on themselves. This charm acts as an upgrade to Debris 
Entanglement Method. By spending two more motes the Solar may use a target as an improvised weapon with 
an accuracy of -3 and a damage of 4B, against themselves. The target ends up hold themselves in clinch, 
tangled into a knot by the Solar's wrestling skills. It should be noted that if the Solar manages to 
clinch two different targets, he could use the charm on both to make them clinch each other. In this case 
both targets can be held until they manage to simultaneously win the clinching contest with the Solar, after 
which they are still left clinching each other without Solar influence.

 Brilliant Cavitation Burst 
Cost: 5m 1wp 1lhl
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Obvious
Minimums: MA 5 Essence 4
Prerequisites: Glorious Shockwave Technique, Dragon Coil Technique x 2

Refining their Shockwave the Solar draws their foe into an implacable grip, even as an inexorable force 
tries to push the foe away, this deadly paradox resolves itself by tearing the victim apart. This charm 
may only be activated as an alternative to maintaining a clinch that has already been made by other means 
the attempt to maintain the clinch is considered perfect. The Solar automatically does a number of levels 
of damage to the target equal to their Strength + Martial Arts + Essence, ignoring all armor-based soak. 
This damage must be lethal or worse, nothing can render it into bashing without changing the nature of 
this charm. The Solar may hold this charm on continuing actions by spending another 5 motes each. Any Target 
killed by this action explodes in a visual light show of Golden essence, but this has no mechanical effect.

		+	target straight up (Martial Arts x 3) yards or horizontally for (Martial Arts x 6) yards instead of<Br>
		+	the damage based distance. They may activate this charm when in control of a clinch to throw the <Br>
		+	target this distance. They may also use the target as an improvised weapon against another target.<br>
		+	The improvised weapon is at -3 accuracy and +4 damage. The attack on the second target operates as<br>
		+	a counter-attack, thus it cannot be used on a counter attack, it inflicts a -1 penalty on Solar's DV,<br>
		+	and the target cannot respond with counter attacks.<br>

		+	Keywords: Combo-Ok, Counter-Attack
		+	Minimums: MA 4 Essence 2
		+	Prerequisites: Solar Hero Form

		+	The Essence-driven fists of the Solar Exalted do not flinch from attacks but rise to meet them. This<br>
		+	Charm alters the way a solar blocks and incoming attack. The Solar does not get to use their DV on an<br>
		+	attack but instead attacks it reflexively themselves. They make a Strength + Martial Arts roll against<Br>
		+	the attacking fist or weapon and if they gather enough successes equal to the higher of target's strength<Br>
		+	or the weapon's damage bonus. Blocking lethal weapons requires another charm or stunt. Any leftover <Br>
		+	successes after stopping attack apply as damage dice, which may be boosted by Solar Hero Form or <Br>
		+	Sledgehammer Fist Punch. This counts as a counter-attack.
