Perfection of Body

 Cost: None
 Duration: Permanent
 Type: Special
 Minimum Resistance: 4
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite Charms: Iron Skin Concentration, Spirit Strengthens the Skin

The character's essential being becomes more resistant toh arm and injury, giving him a permanent 2L/2B bonus to his soak rating and a hardness of 1L/1B. The character thus ignores any attack that does a single point of raw damage, such as a Dragon-Blooded anima or other similar effects. This hardness has no effect on minimum damage values, only on attacks that do 1L damage base before the application of soak. Both of these bonuses stack with soak or hardness gained from other sources, and are fully compatible with armor. In addition, the character is hereafter immune to any effect that would maim or dismember him permanently. He can still be wounded as normal by such an attack, and suffer penalities to his action in the short term, but will always perfectly recover from any attack that does not kill him. This is specifically proof against attacks that sever limbs, or otherwise inflict permanent mutiliation. This last defense is considered a Perfect Defense.

Resolute Stance Technique

 Cost: 2 mote
 Duration: Instant
 Type: Reflexive
 Minimum Resistance: 2
 Minimum Essence: 1
 Prerequisite Charms: None

The Exalt using this charm is firmly rooted in stance, unable to be budged from his position even by the strongest force. When invoked, the Solar can ignore any knockback effect directed at him, no matter the source. Even charm based effects that force the target back are ignored, with no ill effects for the Solar using this charm.

Comments

Neat :) Can the Perfection of Body be taken multiple times, like Ox Body and Insensible Corpse? However, I'll note that becoming immune to plink damage is a significant bonus- maybe attach a reflexive, one mote cost that doesn't count as a charm to not take the plink die. - DariusSolluman

Charm doesn't make you immune to plink damage, only things like Dragon-Blooded anima and such:) Thanks, anyway! Glad you liked the charm. -CrownedSun

Nice charm Brandon. Fixed a typo (no such thing as 're-soak', though that gives me an idea..) and added the you-can-still-be-plinked clarficiation. - Telgar
