Martial Arts Initiation

Terrestrial Initiation

Exalted, of course, have no need to Initiate Terrestrially. There is only one Terrestrial Initiation, though it goes by several names and nondescript flavors. Among mortals, it is the first Charm they may learn.

Root of the Blossoming Lotus

• Cost: 3 motes, 1 mote for Dragon Kings
• Duration: One Scene
• Type: Simple
• Minimum Combat: 6 for Heroic Mortals, 5 for others
• Minimum Essence: 3
• Prerequisite Charms: None

With this Charm, the hands of the Character become as wood, steel, or stone. Their unarmed attacks do lethal damage for the remainder of the Scene, and they may block lethal attacks without the aid of a Stunt as well. Exalted with Fists of Stone and Fingers of Steel Form may teach this Charm.

---

Heroic mortals may not develop new Charms, but gods, ghosts, elementals, demons, spirit-blooded, and raksha may if they spend the xp costs in months to do so (typically a year per Charm).

Celestial Initiation

Celestial Initiation is adequately described in Exalted: the Dragon-Blooded and the Player's Guide, with a single exception.

• The Restless Revenant may practice the entirety of Celestial styles, though it is forever barred from learning or relearning Sidereal Charms.

Sidereal Initiation

Sidereal Initiation is a series of four specific Charms. They all require Essence 5 and the current mastery of one seperate Celestial technique each.
