Solar Sail Charms by CrownedSun

Master Sailors Method</b>

 <b>Cost: 2 motes per success
 Duration: Instant
 Type: Supplemental
 Minimum Sail: 2
 Minimum Essence: 1
 Prerequisite Charms: None

Life on a sailing ship can be a dangerous one, and a simple mistake can lead to maiming or worse fates. An Exalted with this charm is exceedingly well aware of his surroundings and everything around him, with access to perfect instincts for everything on ship. He never tangles his arms on lines, falls while climbing up the ships lines, or accidentally beaches the craft on a shoal. After making any Sailing based roll (involving activities typical of sailors), the character can buy a number of extra successes equal to his Essence + the number of successes rolled.
Note: This charm is an alternate prerequisite for the Golden Essence Sails (from CB: Eclipse) and Perfect Reckoning Technique charms.

Essence Ram Technique

 Cost: 9 motes, 1 willpower
 Duration: One scene
 Type: Supplemental
 Minimum Sail: 5
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite Charms: Golden Essence Sails

The character using this Charm erects a massive glowing golden Ram about the prow of the ship, barbed and deadly. This doesn’t slow down the vessel in any way, and gives it a normal 30L damage ram which allows it to take the Ramming option during the movement portion of the Ship Combat rules. When using the Essence Ram, the roll to disengage the ship successfully is only difficulty 1 (allowing the character to take an automatic success in most cases).
