Righteous Devil Style

Righteous Devils are dispensers of Heaven's divine judgment. Those who walk as Righteous Devils follow a single precept - to burn in celestial flame all who defile those who serve at the feet of unrighteousness!

Righteous Devil Style considers attacks made using Firedust-powered weapons as Unarmed attacks. All Charms in this Style are compatible with armor.

Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Martial Arts: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
With this Charm, the martial artist need not have her weapon in hand before Initiative is rolled to use it. Vibrant cobalt lightning crackles and coalesces about her forearm, and in one fluid motion, the Exalt readies her firewand and fires. Activating this Charm allows the Devil to draw and ready her weapons with one Reflexive movement that requires no thought and no time. This movement is so swift that in social situations it might allow the Devil a surprise attack - roll the Adept's Dexterity+Martial Arts against his opponent's Wits+Awareness to stablish surprise in plain sight using this Charm.

With this Charm the Devil's hands coruscate with burning Essence like twin beating wings - each movement of one synchronized with and empowered by the other!

For the remainder of the Scene the Devil suffers no "off-hand" penalties and lowers her split-action penalties by half her Essence (rounded up) as long as they are evenly distributed between both hands.

Despite the superior damage capabilities of Firedust-based weapons, there are certain drawbacks to using them: the low availability and astronomical price of firedust, just to name a couple. Also, their temperamental nature and need for constant upkeep and repair make them difficult choices for use in the field. But perhaps the biggest difficulty in using firedust-based weapons is that most flamedischarge weapons are single-shot ones -- one must spend time to reload one after each shot. A Righteous Devil can ignore this particular weakness! This Charm allows the Devil to reload his weapon with one Reflexive movement that requires no thought and no time.
