MartialArts/HumbleFistOfIceStyle
The Humble Fist of Ice Style was developed in the Second Age a scant century ago. An air aspected Icewalker Dragonblooded named Daman Kurin developed this style to emulate the slow killing power of the icy north. Its creation enjoyed initial success before the rise of the Bull of the North. Now those who once learned it find themselves being killed by the Bull as he expands. The style is compatible with the cestus, khatar and tiger claws and is compatible with armor as well as artifact equivilants of each.

The chill wind of the north cuts through all clothes right to the bone and the heart. The martial artist takes the stance of the Snow Lion, the Snow Squid, and then finally the Snow Eagle. Emulating these three one after the other in form grants the fists of the martial artist that same cutting nature as the cold of the north. His attacks are piercing from then on. However while cold does cut through clothes to the bone fire can hold back its power. For the rest of the scene the martial artist also takes an additional 4 dice of damage from fire based attacks.
Multi attack charm.
Speed penalizer attack.
Freezing fist ultimate charm.
