Celestial Monkey Style – Second Edition

This charm tree doesn't need to change much, and I didn't give it much time. It's mostly good.

Monkey Tail Distraction Technique – identical

Flowing Mirror of Opposition technique
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo OK, obvious
Minimum martial arts: 2
Minimum essence: 1
Prerequisite charms: monkey tail distraction technique
The exalt flashes forward, engaging his opponent and dances about her, inside the attack range of her melee, martial arts, or brawl weapon, thereby nullifying its accuracy bonuses and raising the character's effective DV by +1.

Body of War meditation:
Identical, except that it is now speed 6 DV-1 to trigger because it is currently dumb; simple, combo basic.

Withering Paw Strike
Mostly all good make it slightly more dangerous to make up for the fact that defense s can't stack against the disarm attempt – (+1 speed/-2DV)

Celestial Monkey form
Make it combo-OK obvious, and it should be good.

Walking in the Footsteps of Ten Thousand Things -
Not comboable, I guess? With second martial arts excellency, it is enough to utterly destroy any martial artist. 2Xp to use, but still.

Four Halo golden monkey palm: s'all good.

Four halo golden monkey realignment:
For the remainder of the scene, this charm removes the onslaught penalty other character's attacks impose on the exalt's DV. It also reduces the defense penalty imposed by each action the exalt takes by 1, to a minimum of 0. Also, add permanent essence to all martial arts attacks. Combo basic, obvious

celestial godbody: identical

Comments

About that last - since Snake no longer has an armor penalty, CGBU may require some further thought. The "any weapons" thing is good, but the armor... RSB has suggested that you ignore armor restrictions on all styles but SMA and maybe Violet Bier, which suggests that Celestial Monkey becomes much less cool if it keeps its armor problems, and CGBU becomes much less powerful if the armor restriction vanishes. - Hapushet
