Background

So, you're saying you put down your sword, and I put down my rock?

Training

Resplendent Earth Style teaches craft and focus through the carving of tiny, intricate stone sculptures. Students of this style often develop high scores in Craft (Earth) as well as their Martial Arts prowess. Physical training is conducted with rigorous hard forms and endlessly repeated punches and kicks. Blocking is not practiced much in this style. Students are, rather, encouraged to learn to take a hit.

Weapons and Armor

Any form of armor is allowed with this style. Form weapons are determined by the choice of each individual martial artist.

Prerequisite Charms: None

Metal is of the Earth, and it makes for the best weapons. Steel, and in the best cases Jade-Steel, can be honed to a deadly edge or simply used for its weight and strength. Each variation of its use has unique qualities to be understood and used to advantage. In learning this charm, a character chooses to specialize in learning and harmonizing with a single type of weapon whose striking surface is made of metal. The weapon chosen for this charm (which may be learned only once by any given martial artist) becomes a form weapon for this style. When the final charm of this style is learned, the weapon chosen for this charm becomes a form weapon for all styles of martial arts for this Exalt.
