Duration: Instant
Type: Re-Fun
Minimum Marital Arts: 1
Minimum Moe: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None

The journey of love begins with the first step. Which often needs to be before someone else moves in on your honey. The Magical Girl can add +1 to an initiative roll for every mote spent, to a limit of her Marital Arts. (However, this charm can be stacked with the Form boost.)

Duration: One Scene
Type: Speech
Minimum Marital Arts: 4
Minimum Moe: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Speed of Passion, Firey Response

The fires of love fill you, speeding your acts of love and warming all those around you. You must succeed at a Dex + Marital Arts check to activate this form.

You cannot wear armor with this form active.

Type: SubtleTheKawaiiEdition/WeddingWarriorCharms/Mental
Minimum Marital Arts: 5

Duration: Instant

Type: SubtleTheKawaiiEdition/WeddingWarriorCharms/Mental

Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Marital Arts: 5
Minimum Moe: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Passionate Girlfriend Form

Sometimes, if someone hurts you too much, you have to dump them, so they can't hurt you any more. For every mote you burn, your Lethal and Bashing soak increases by +1; you can buy up to your Moe + Marital Arts; this soak only works against people who have already hit you during the scene.

Once passion ignites as anger, it burns those you lash out at. When you strike someone wearing metal, your blow heats up the metal; in addition to any normal damage, you do your Moe + Marital Arts Lethal damage which can only be soaked by Stamina and Charms. (Degree of success does not affect this damage.)

Love Me Punch

Duration: Instant
Type: SubtleTheKawaiiEdition/WeddingWarriorCharms/Mental
Minimum Marital Arts: 5
Minimum Moe: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Attention-Grabbing Kiss, Inspiration of Love, Rejection, Wrath of a Lover

Some people don't realize their true feelings until the truth is beaten into them. On a successful hit, your foe soaks with Manipulation + Temperance instead of Stamina + Armor + Charms. If you do any 'damage', compare your successes to the target's Temperance. If your successes equal or exceed the subject's Temperance, they fall in love with you if your Essence is equal to or less than theirs. Just remember that a lover is not a zombie follower, and some people's love is, well, dangerous... They stay in love until you reject them or otherwise kill their love if they are of lower Essence, or for one scene if of equal.

Comments

Hmm, if Magical Girls are supposed to the the Dragon Blooded equivelant shouldn't they have the health levels of a dragon blood, they only get 2 HLs from Ox-Body a -1 and a -2, so isn't that what AbHB should give when used by a MG? - Blackedout just wondering...

Color me, KING OF ILLITERACY. You are correct. Will fix. ^^;; -- JohnBiles

Hey, I might not be the most creative of people but I am fairly good at spoting mistakes like that, I try to do what I can to contribute in that way. - Blackedout

I have a very creative mind, but I am sloppy at details, so thanks! Having someone go over these charms for errors or wild out of game balance stuff = Very Good. Danke!-- JohnBiles
