Keen Balance and Motion Prana</b>

 <b>Cost: 5 motes
 Duration: One Scene
 Type: Simple
 Minimum Awareness: 3
 Minimum Athletics: 2
 Minimum Essence: 2
 Prerequisite: Sensory Acuity Prana, Graceful Crane Stance

The Exalt gains a preternaturally heightened sense of balance and kinesthetics. The character may instantly know which direction is up, which direction is north, how fast he is moving and in what direction without a roll, as well as the precise position and angle of every joint in her body. This does not mean the character is any better at maintaining balance (that would be Graceful Crane Stance), but the added understanding does provide a +2 bonus to all Athletics rolls involving balance or precise motion. Additionally, the character can make an extended Perception + Awareness roll at difficulty 3 to recall and retrace her motion through kinesthetic memory alone, precisely recalling each turn, twist and straightaway with a single success.

Unsurpassed Balance and Motion Discipline</b>

 <b>Cost: 5 motes
 Duration: One Scene
 Type: Simple
 Minimum Awareness: 5
 Minimum Essence: 2
 Prerequisite: Keen Balance Prana

The Exalt’s sense of balance and motion are enhanced to utterly inhuman levels, adding his Perception in automatic successes to any Athletic rolls regarding balance and precise motion. Additionally, the character can now always retrace any motion taken or path traversed with perfect ease without any other information (such as landmarks, sounds, smells or tactile sensations), whether or not the original movement was taken under the character’s own power.

Comments

A kinesthetic sense set is a welcome addition to the Awareness trees, and it makes a good deal of sense. For the second one, though, I'm leery of attribute-based bonuses. There's some precedent for it for solars, but personally, I'd go for Awareness, rather than Perception, in bonuses. I'd also either up the cost for UBMD or lower it for KBP. Also, if you'd like to, you're welcome to adapt a Total Balance Method from my SolarAwareness/IsawaBrian set. I take it these are more ambitions for Liu? -- IsawaBrian
