DragonBloodedMelee/Bastet
Victorious Inferno Technique
Cost: 1+ahl; Mins: Melee 5, Essence 5; Type: Simple
Keywords: Anima, Obvious
Duration: One-Scene
Prerequisite Charms: Ringing Anvil Onslaught, Refining the Inner Blade
“Sometimes giving of your all is not enough, sometimes it needs that little extra even if it destroys you utterly.” – Unknown Fire Aspect General
This technique costs a number of aggravated health levels to activate, the maximum of which is equal to the Dragon-Blooded’s permanent essence. Each level sacrificed in such a manner provides a scene long boost to accuracy, defence, rate and damage.
Portentous Comet Deflecting Mode
Cost: 3m 1wp; Mins: Melee 5, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-Ok, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Melee Excellency
After an opponent’s attack is declared the Dragon-Blooded may choose to invoke this charm instead of depending upon her defence values or other defensive charms. Instead she rolls (Perception + Melee) at a difficulty equal to the attacker’s permanent essence. This roll is incompatible with excellencies, though a success negates the attack completely.

I wrote the above charm in co-operation with my Storyteller long before Ordained Talon of Draconic Fury was written but I imagine that with so few essence 6 Dragon-Blooded the two charms can co-exist within the setting. Multiple levels of aggrivated is serious enough to make this not a casual encounter charm but also nothing Dragon-Blooded medicine cannot mitigate.
