Hey, DH here. That is potentially very broken, although a good idea. Perhaps it should be a no-cost <b>non-mutation</b> permanent charm that augments purchases of Ox Body by adding a selectable layout of HLs that 'break' and can't be rebuilt until story's end. I'd personally suggest it being one -0 or one -1 and one -2 per time purchased. If you go this route, you might wanna crank the Ring to 4 and the Essence to 3. -DarkheartOne | Hey, DH here.

DH's Revision
Egg Binding Shell
Cost: N/A Duration: Permanent Type: Special Minimum Ring: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Ox-Body Technique
The Raksha binds a shell around himself to further protect from the ravages of Creation. This charm doubles the number of health levels provided by the Ox-body charm. However when these extra health levels are lost the can not be healed. Instead they are simply regained the next time the appropriate Ox-body is activated (for mutations this would be at the beginning of the next story). The additional health levels provided by Egg Binding Shell are best tracked as a number next to the appropriate health level column (eg two extra -1 health levels would be marked as a 2 next to the -1 column). When the Raksha would take damage at that level, instead lower the number by one.
The raksha may buy Egg Binding Shell as many times as they have the Ox-Body charm.
Pre-emptive Eulogy
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower, 2 Gossamer Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Cup: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Egg Binding Shell
When this charm is activated the Raksha declares that they have died and thus can be fought no longer. His player may activate this charm in response to a Sword or Staff shaping attack. The Raksha may immediately make a Ring counter-attack. After the attack has been made the Raksha is considered to have died and must use some method such as Sundering the Gates of Death if they wish to live again.
Used against creatures with no Ring Grace this charm functions as a work of glamour. Witnesses will be convinced that the Raksha has died from the most obvious cause available. If the Raksha was being attacked then they believe that the attacker killed the Raksha etc. Further more this belief lasts for the rest of the story and affects anybody who hears of the Raksha's demise. Until the Raksha introduces himself as a new character, the Creation-born will simply ignore him. Note that acts that would draw attention to the Raksha, such as attacking someone or stealing something important in front those guarding it, are sufficient to re-introduce the Raksha. This power does not work on targets whose Perception + Essence is greater than the Raksha's Larceny.
