Once the Solar Exalted becomes sufficiently familiar with his weaponry, his ability to attack with multiple weapons becomes greatly increased. So long as the Exalt carries two weapons, he may make a seperate attack with each as flurry without incurring multiple action penalties, and with a DV penalty equal only to the highest penalty incurred.

The Solar warrior's ability to attack and defend himself simultaneously with both his weilded weapons is greatly enhanced.

Comments

Cleared, as the Charms included here are pretty much useless for Second Edition.

But they're just fine for those of us who havn't GOT it yet or won't be using it because we're still playing with the first edition!
-- Darloth would like them back, please?

Check Ialdabaoth/FirstEdition - I'll also try to put any First Edition versions of relevant charms there.

I'm not sure about Dual Slaying Stance - can you only make a total of two attacks?

Nice job on SDS, very smooth complement to FLB.

The rest of the tree looks really nice. I'm strongly inclined to gank these for my game - one of my players has been making frequent noises about going all two-weapony... - Hapushet
