Pillars of the Sun Do Not Crumble

This charm permanently enhances the Lawgivers Unbreakable Warrior's Mastery with the following effects.

Bottomless Reserves Technique

• Cost: ---
• Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 3
• Type: Permanent
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisites: Ox-Body Technique
• Stackable, Permanent

Each purchase of this charm provides the Lawgiver with a single, additional -4 Health Level and one Dying Health Level. She may buy this charm as many times as she has Resistance.

Perfect Soundness of Body

• Cost: --
• Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 4
• Type: Permanent
• Duration: Permanent
• Prerequisites: Personal Fortress Method, Ox Body Technique.

This Charm permanently allows the Lawgiver to soak Lethal with her full Stamina.

Rise From Ashes Technique

• Cost: 2m per HL
• Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 3(?)
• Type: Reflexive
• Duration: Instant
• Prerequisites: Spirit Strengthens the Skin
• Combo-Ok, Obvious

The Solar may buy off damage done by an attack at the cost of 2m per HL negated. This is resolved immediately after damage is rolled. This may cause an attack to do 0 Hls of damage. In the case where that may prevent a Charm's effects from activating, consider the negative effects of that charm nullified, since no damage was done. This may only be used in response to an attack and is not a passive means by which a lawgiver may heal herself outside of combat.

Unyeilding Solar Aegis

• Cost:8m
• Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 4
• Type: Reflexive
• Duration: One tick
• Prerequisites: Adamant Skin Technique, Unbreakable Warrior's Mastery
• Combo-Ok, Obvious.

The lawgiver's anima flares into a protective circle, clinging to her skin, turning aside all harmful blows. For one full tick, negate all damage and subsequent negative effects that may befall the Solar. (For Example, the Immaculate's Soul Mastery not only would do no damage, but would fail to rip out the Solar's soul. Neither would a Sidereal's Pattern Spider touch.) This defense applies even to unanticipated attacks. This Charm has one of the Four Flaws of Invulnerability.

Stone Breaks Fist

• Cost:5m, 1wp
• Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 4
• Type: Reflexive
• Duration: Instant
• Prerequisites: Unyelding Solar Aegis
• Combo-Ok, Obvious, Counterattack

The Lawgiver's muscles tense to stone-like hardness, providing her with an unassailable defense. It has the following benefits.
1)All damage and negative effects are negated, as per Unyeilding Solar Aegis
2)Attackers in hand-to-hand combat suffer the Solar's Essence in dice of unsoakable L damage as their weapons jar against her rock-hard flesh and their bare fists crack against her moutain-like exterior. This does nothing against ranged attacks,for the attackers (wisely) chose not to make close contact with the Lawgiver.
3)At Essence 6, the dice of unsoakable lethal damage become automatic health levels.
This Charm may explictly be used while the Solar is in a Clinch.

Almighty Armor Assimilation
10m, 1wp
Resistance 5, Essence 5
Simple, Indefinite
Combo-Basic
Armored Scout’s Invigoration, Glorious Solar Plate

Taking the principle of the relationship between himself and Orichalcum to the literal limit, the Solar fuses his anima wholly with his armor, making it a part of his own being. While this may have any appearance the player likes (the armor taking on a fleshy tone, or muscle and bone fusing magically with the joints of his plate), mechanically this means it becomes natural soak [cannot be Pierced] for all means save the following, the Solar still gains its Hardness and protection from Aggravated damage and any attribute or magitech bonuses are still considered equipment bonuses. The Lawgiver is no more weighed down by this new natural protection than he is by his own sinews and bone, so regardless of how heavy or fatiguing a suit of armor may be, consider it as though it had 0 mobility and fatigue. This effect lasts until the Solar stops committing 10 motes.

Cycling the Inner Breath
---, Resistance 5, Essence 4
Permanent
Mirror
Essence-Gathering Temper

A Solar with complete mastery over his body knows how to continually replenish his inner reserves. This permits the Solar to respire Essence at half rate in places where he normally could not--such as the Underworld. As a Simple (-0 DV) non-charm action, the Solar may meditate a moment and roll Stamina + Resistance which causes the Solar to regain a number of motes equal to the successes.
This Charm is also an Occult Charm called Motonic Cycle Re-engineering that requires Occult 5, Essence 4 and Spirit-Detecting Glance as its prerequisite. The roll to recover motes is Perception + Occult instead.
Cycling the Inner Breath is also a Mirror Charm called Stealing Mortal Breath, and treats Restless as the Dead as its prerequisite. The Occult version requires Spirit Sensing Meditation.

Holistic Recovery Methodology
--- Resistance 5, Essence 4
Combo-Ok, Obvious
Body Mending Meditation

Increases the recovery time of Body Mending Meditation to (Sta + Res) successes x 10. Completely heals all wounds, restoring lost limbs, etc. Must still spend a day resting.

Impregnable Orichalcum Body
--- Resistance 5, Essence 4
Permanent
Combo-Ok, Obvious
Iron Kettle Body

Doubles the Soak bonus of Iron Kettle Body, reduces minimum damage to 1, but doubles the mote cost of IKB and remains incompatible with armor.

Instantaneous Plate Conjuration
--- Resistance 5, Essence 3
Permanent
Glorious Solar Plate

GSP = Reflexive Non-charm action

The Sun’s Burnished Mail
--- Resistance 5, Essence 4
Permanent
Upgrade
Glorious Solar Plate

Increases Glorious Solar Plate’s Soaks to the same as Orichalcum Superheavy Plate, reduces Mobility and Fatigue to 0 and the DV from the shield increases by 1.

Golden Shell Enhancement
3 motes Resistance 5 Essence 3
Until Next Action, Reflexive (Step 8)
Combo-Ok, Obvious
Durability of Oak Meditation

Doubles the character’s Hardness until Next Action. If comboed with an Instant effect, like Durability of Oak, the Instant-Duration charm must be repeatedly invoked.

Stronger Than Mountains Meditation
5 motes, Resistance 5 Essence 3
One Scene, Reflexive (Step 8)
Combo-Ok, Obvious
Durability of Oak Meditation

Durability of Oak for the scene. If the character knows Unsurpassable Ramparts Techinque, this charm explicitly stacks with its prerequisite.

Comments =

I know it costs more, but it seems odd that Stone Breaks Fist is so much easier to get than Unyielding Solar Aegis when it's just as effective with a pretty nice counterattack built in. Perhaps you should say that it doesn't last all tick? Was this supposed to be implied from duration? It's not particularly clear, as it directly references the other charm. Aside from that, nice charms here

Stone Breaks Fist is instant, it is written in the charm text. Also it is Keyword Counterattack and thus cannot be used against any other Counterattack. changed the prerequisite to Unyeilding Solar Aegis since that made more sense to me. ~DualMegami

Probably best to also mention -when- those charms take effect.. cause if it negates the damage after it's been rolled and such, it would be easily comboable with essence gathering temper.. I imagine it's before damage is rolled just like AST though FluffySquirrel

Both perfect Soak upgrades are activated on the same step as Adamant Skin. ~DualMegami
