Momentary Awareness Prana

Cost: 1 mote per die

Instant

Reflexive

Min Dodge 2

Min Essence 1

The Exalt is momentarily aware of all around her, and so easily moves to avoid an attack. For each mote spent, add 2 dice to an attempt to dodge. The character cannot gain more dice than her regular Dodge pool. If an Exalt spends at least one die on this Charm, she may dodge attacks of which she is not aware. The Dodgestill requires a die action.

If it requires an action, it's a Supplemental Charm. A regular Dodge 'pool' is the total dice rolled to dodge; you want 'unmodified Dodge Ability.' _Wohksworth

Simple Sidestep Technique

Cost: 1 mote per die

Instant

Reflexive

Min Dodge 3

Min Essence 1

Prerequisite Charm: Momentary Awareness Prana

The character merely steps to the side, dodging with her full Dexterity+Dodge pool.

Cost needs clarification; I assume it's an error and there's a flat cost. _Wohksworth

Deserved Rebuttal

Cost: 2 motes

Instant

Reflexive

Min Dodge 5

Min Essence 1

Prerequisite Charm: Simple Sidestep Technique

As the character ducks to the side, she swings out to counterattack. After succesfully dodging a hand to hand attack, the character may immediately make an attack at her full Dexterity+Ability pool againist the agressor. This is a Counterattack Charm.

Interesting place for a counterattack Charm; it seems out of place but given the short length and the generalized nature of the tree it may be neccessary. _Wohksworth

Seeing Dust Motes Moment

Cost: 2 motes

Until Next Action

Reflexive

Min Dodge 4

Min Essence 2

Prerequisite Charm: Simple Sidestep Technique

The character opens her mind, seeing every attack aimed againist her. Until her next non-reflexive action, the character may dodge every attack aimed at her with her full Dexterity+Dodge pool.

It's fine. It's cheap, but that may be intentional. _Wohksworth

Moment of Depature

Cost: 3 motes, 1 willpower

Instant

Reflexive

Min Dodge 5

Min Essence 3

Prerequisite Charm: Deserved Rebuttal, Seeing Dust Motes Moment

The character forces herself out of reality for a moment, avoiding all damage. This is a perfect dodge. It sure as hell doesn't trump applicability.

General belief is a Willpower point is the defining cost which trumps applicability: see HGD versus SSE. But that's hardly set in stone, especially when designing a whole new character type. The visual description implies to me that it would trump applicability: see the Alchemical Charm 'Transphase Engine' as a roundabout example. May want to do something about that. _Wohksworth
