By combining their supernatural athletic prowess and danger awareness, a Solar Exalted may perform unimaginable feats of flexibility and balance in order to dodge incoming attacks. For the remainder of the scene, the character adds his Athletics score to his Dodge pool before determining his Dodge DV, thus making his total Dodge DV equal to (Dexterity + Dodge + (Dodge Specialties) + Athletics + Essence) / 2. Additionally, penalties cannot reduce his Dodge DV to below his Athletics ability. This bonus counts as augmentation of the character's Dodge pool by a charm, and thereore limits the total bonus that Excellency Charms or other dice-adders may provide. Inapplicability or other affects that reduce a Dodge pool explicitly to 0 do not count as penalties and are not affected by this Charm.

 Minimum Melee: 5
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite: Flow Like Blood, Fivefold Bulwark Stance

Sometimes, attacks must be avoided. Other times, they must be defended against. With total focus and Essence, the Solar Warrior may do both. By combining their supernatural doding and parrying prowess, a Solar Exalted may perform unimaginable feats of flexibility and coordination in order to avoid incoming attacks. For the remainder of the scene, the character adds his Dodge score to his Parry pool against any Dodgeable attack before halving, thus making his Parry DV equal to (Dexterity + Melee + (Melee Specialties) + Dodge + Essence) / 2. Additionally, penalties cannot reduce his Parry DV to below his Dodge ability. This bonus counts as augmentation of the character's Parry pool by a charm, and thereore limits the total bonus that Excellency Charms or other dice-adders may provide. Inapplicability or other affects that reduce a Parry pool explicitly to 0 do not count as penalties and are not affected by this Charm.

Comments

I fixed a wordwrap problem on the Prereqs-- that used to hit me all the time too. This looks good, and Liu may purchase it once she makes the requirements. -- IsawaBrian

Thanks! I'm also glad to see you adding the Night Caste free-suppressors; Cera will definitely appreciate those for Liu once she can afford them. -Ialdabaoth
