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.

• Minimum Marital Arts: 5

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...

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
