Keen Arrow

• Cost: 1 mote
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Subtle/Mental
• Minimum Archery: 2
• Minimum Moe: 1
• Prerequisite Charms: Graceful Bishonen Archery

Your Moe hones your arrow's keenness; add your Moe to the base damage of the arrow.

Arrow Sharpening Stance

• Cost: 3 motes, 1 WP
• Duration: One Scene
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Archery: 3
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Keen Arrow

Every arrow you fire becomes sharper, adding your Moe to its base damage.

Holy Arrow of Wrath

• Cost: 1 mote / +2 Damage
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Subtle/Mental
• Minimum Archery: 3
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Keen Arrow

The Power of Heaven flows through your arrow, adding +2 to pre-soak damage for every mote you invest to a limit of your Moe. This extra damage is doubled against demons, ghosts, Alien PrincessesTheKawaiiEdition/Princes, and other things from outside Creation. (Except Robot Girls, who are not unholy.)

Arrow of Demon-Slaying

• Cost: 1 mote, 1 WP
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Subtle/Mental
• Minimum Archery: 4
• Minimum Moe: 3
• Prerequisite Charms: Holy Arrow of Wrath

This arrow does hideous things to those things that come from beyond (as per Holy Arrow of Wrath). Double extra successes before adding to pre-soak damage. This damage is aggravated to such creatures. Furthermore, such creatures lose your Moe in motes for every post-soak damage die inflicted. (IE, multiply your Moe times the post-soak damage dice before they are rolled, it loses that many motes.)

Quiver of Holy Wrath

• Cost: 5 motes, 1 WP
• Duration: One Scene
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Archery: 5
• Minimum Moe: 4
• Prerequisite Charms: Arrow of Demon-Slaying

The Broodingly Handsome Sun cannot abide the things which lurk in the darkness, and neither can the holy power that burns from the Bishonen's arrows. Every arrow you fire is infused with Holy Might, subtracting your Moe from all defensive pools used to resist it by anything from Outside Creation (except Robot Girls and other inhabitants of Otakuthon). It also reduces the target's soak by your Moe + Archery if the target comes from Outside Creation.

Storing Up Holy Wrath

• Cost: 5 motes, 1 WP
• Duration: One Scene
• Type: Speech
• Minimum Archery: 5
• Minimum Moe: 5
• Prerequisite Charms: Quiver of Holy Wrath

The Broodingly Handsome Sun never fails to smite the enemies of Creation. Neither do his children. The Bishonen crafts five arrows made of pure Essence. They inflict damage equal to his Archery + Moe + Strength (+ any bonuses from his bow). This damage is aggravated against things from beyond Creation (except Robot Girls and other inhabitants of Otakuthon). He may fire these arrows each once during the scene; they may be fired as a free reflexive action at full dice pool. If fired as a normal dice action or using an Extra Action charm, they never miss unless a perfect defense is used to stop them.

Relentless Ray of Holy Light

• Cost: 1 mote, 1 WP
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Subtle/Mental
• Minimum Archery: 6
• Minimum Moe: 6
• Prerequisite Charms: Storing Up Holy Wrath

The Broodingly Handsome Sun's light can be reflected but not destroyed. The Bishonen's arrow does aggravated damage to anything from beyond Creation (except Robot Girls and other inhabitants of Otakuthon). It can only be blocked by a perfect defense. If it is blocked, it rebounds and attacks another target of the Bishonen's choice within its range, continuing until it either hits someone or every single suitable target within range uses a perfect defense.

Long Shot

Within your normal range of your weapon, you always hit with at least one success unless charms are used to augment your opponent's dodge or parry pool (this includes charms which buy a 'full dice pool' or provide a reflexive defense pool) or to provide a perfect defense.

Piercing Shot

• Cost: 3 motes
• Duration: Instant

Crevice-Seeking Shot

• Minimum Archery: 3
• Minimum Moe: 2
• Prerequisite Charms: Piercing Shot

Every armor has its joints and cracks. This shot seeks them out. Roll your Dex + Archery + any extra successes to hit after defense is determined. The difficulty is your foe's Moe. Every success reduces the soak of the armor by one against this shot.

Armor-Evading Shot

• Cost: 1 mote, 1 WP
• Duration: Instant
• Type: Subtle/Mental
• Minimum Archery: 4
