Four Flaws of Invulnerability
Every Perfect defense subjects its user to one of the four flaws of invulnerability.
One of these flaws must be purchased when a perfect defense is, a charm may be repurchased
with another flaw, but you may only have up to two different flaws.
Flaw of Conviction: The defense can only be used if action is in support of a virtue or Vice.
Flaw of Compassion: The Defense can only be used if action is to protect another from harm.
Flaw of Temperance: When the defense is used you cannot move from location for a number of turns
equal to composure.
Flaw of Valor: When defense is used you must move towards and attack the strongest enemy present
for a number of turns equal to resolve

Extra Actions
Several charms or magical abilities will grant extra actions in Exalted
Most of the Extra actions charms are not powerful enough to grant full actions
but grant limited actions that can only serve one purpose.
For example: Peony Blossom Attack grants an extra action that can only
be used to make a weaponry attack. This extra action does not grant anything
not mentioned, and active merits cannot be used to modify an action. For example
You could not turn an Extra Action Attack into a disarm attempt, but Weapon Finesse
can still modify attack roll.
note: Modifying Extra Actions to allow a merit use sounds like an excellent custom charm material.
---
Counter Attacks
A counter attack is any charm that allows an action to occur in response to an attack.
A counter attack cannot respond to a counter attack, and each counter attack causes
a -1 penalty to defense for rest of turn making you more vulnerable to further attacks
Counter attacks are usually attacks but almost as common is leaping defense to remove
yourself from danger.
