Philosophers and playwrights often claim that human love is a complex thing of emotions and mystery and eschew the physical basis of affection. With the insights granted by this Charm an Exalt can appeal to the other side of love and admiration. Adapting his posture, movements and physical displays to the situation, the Dragon-Blood adds his Appearance rating to any single Social roll.

Nifty Charms. I like 'em. A pair of questions, though: Does the DB have to have already heard the natural sound in question for Wooden Whistle Voice? And do I presume correctly that the bonus from Elegant Tailfeather Gyration is restricted to the normal dice-adder cap for DB Charms? - [[Moxiane]]

Wooden Whistle Voice</b>

 <b>Cost: 1 mote
 Type: Reflexive
 Duration: Instant
 Min Performance:  2
 Min Essence: 1
 Pre-Requisite Charms: None

A simple infusion of motes into his own voicebox allows an Emerald Dragon to emulate perfectly the sounds of nature. Any natural sound, the crashing of a waterfall, a clap of thunder, the mating call of the howler monkey, can be perfectly recreated by an Exalt using this Charm. This does not permit the Exalt to "speak" to animals, simply to reproduce their sounds. He can bark like a dog or howl like a wolf, but these sounds convey no meaning in and of themselves. Performance or Survival rolls are required to give the sounds meaning.


Elegant Tailfeather Gyration</b>

 <b>Cost: 3 motes
 Type: Supplemental
 Duration: Instant
 Min Performance:  3
 Min Essence: 2
 Pre-Requisite Charms: Unknown

Philosophers and playwrights often claim that human love is a complex thing of emotions and mystery and eschew the physical basis of affection. With the insights granted by this Charm an Exalt can appeal to the other side of love and admiration. Adapting his posture, movements and physical displays to the situation, the Dragon-Blood adds his Appearance rating to any single Social roll. This bonus counts normally against the limit of Charm-added dice.


Handsome Coat of Dirt</b>

 <b>Cost: 3 motes
 Type: Simple
 Duration: One scene
 Min Performance:  4
 Min Essence: 2
 Pre-Requisite Charms: Elegant Tailfeather Gyration

Bridging the gap between human and animal to a degree, an Exalt using this Charm can apply his knowledge of humans to animals and his knowledge of animals to humans. Survival and Ride Charms can be used on humans, if appropriate, while Socialize, Performance and Presence Charms can be used on animals.

Nifty Charms. I like 'em. A pair of questions, though: Does the DB have to have already heard the natural sound in question for Wooden Whistle Voice? And do I presume correctly that the bonus from Elegant Tailfeather Gyration is restricted to the normal dice-adder cap for DB Charms? - Moxiane

Yes, much like anything you're trying to immitate. And not directly, no, since the bonus is not ability-based. However, the bonus is still charm-based and further charm-based bonuses can't exceed the DB Charm Bonus Cap. Ability+Spec. - Telgar
