Terrestrial Martial Arts

The most common supernatural martial arts of Creation, there are hundreds of Terrestrial Martial Arts taught by thousands of schools to tens of thousands of people - most of them Exalts, but including armies of exceptional mortals.

Who Can Learn It

  • Terrestrial Exalts: The Dragon-Blooded are the core of those who learn the Terrestrial Martial Arts. They learn them as normal.
  • Celestial Exalts: Solars, Lunars, Sidereals and Abyssals have a natural affinty for Essence that renders the Terrestrial Martial Arts easy to learn and use. They pay 2 XP less when learning Terrestrial Martial Arts Charms.
  • Mortals: Mortals can learn the Terrestrial Martial Arts, but only with difficulty; learning these Charms requires Martial Arts 5 and Awakened Essence, and costs them 15 XP per Charm.
  • Gods: Gods are not naturally prone to change, but they can learn Terrestrial Martial Arts as though they were Dragon-Bloods without aspect. Few of them have the drive to do so, however.
  • Demons: Demons of any Circle can learn Terrestrial Martial Arts in theory, but few do in practice. Sorcerers cannot summon a demon for their knowledge of these Charms.
  • Elementals: Elementals can learn Terrestrial Martial Arts as though they were Dragon-Bloods of their elemental aspect. Far more elementals learn these powers than gods, simply because it is in their natures to change and grow over time.
  • Fair Folk: Fair Folk who learn the Root of the Perfected Lotus Charm may learn Terrestrial Martial Arts as Dragon-Bloods. They count as having an Aspect equal to whatever elemental Assumptions they have active at a given time.
  • Dragon Kings: Dragon Kings may learn Terrestrial Martial Arts as Dragon-Bloods of an Aspect equivalent to their Breed.
