Charm Tree

Insubstantiality

Reed In The Wind

  • Cost: 2i per 1 Evasion
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Keywords: Perilous
  • Mins: Dodge 3, Essence 1

  • Type: Reflexive
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Reed In The Wind

After being hit by a decisive attack, the Solar may remove damage dice from it at the cost of 4 motes per die, to a maximum of the Solar's Evasion. If the attack is reduced to 0 dice this way, it is considered to have missed.

Living Bonds Unburdened

  • Cost: 4m, 4i, 1wp
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Duration: One round
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 3
  • Prereqs: Vaporous Division

For the next turn, the Solar is unable to attack. They may freely use Vaporous Division to remove damage dice from decisive attacks, without spending additional motes.

Unbridled Shade Attitude

  • Type: Reflexive
  • Mins: Dodge 4, Essence 1

Used in response to a surprise attack, this sets the Solar’s Evasion to their Essence, and allows them to use Charms to enhance their Evasion as though it were a regular attack.

Drifting Leaf Elusion

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Dodge 4, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Shadow Over Water

When an incoming attack has exactly as many successes as the Solar's Evasion, it is dodged.

Flow Like Blood

  • Cost: 5m, 1wp
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Duration: One scene
  • Mins: Dodge 4, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Shadow Over Water

The Solar gains (Essence) motes at the beginning of each round, which can only be spent on Dodge Charms. If these motes aren’t spent by the end of the round, they are lost.

Seven Shadow Evasion

  • Cost: 4m, 1wp
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Keywords: Once/scene
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 2

  • Prereqs: Seven Shadow Evasion

Using Seven Shadow Evasion also resets the Solar's onslaught penalty.

Mobility

Leaping Dodge Method

  • Cost: 1m, 2i

  • Mins: Dodge 3, Essence 1

Used when the Exalt successfully dodges an attack, this allows them to automatically move one range band in any direction.

Dust Motes Whirling

  • Prereqs: Leaping Dodge Method

The Solar no longer loses Initiative with disengage actions.

  • Prereqs: Dust Motes Whirling

When the Exalt moves into close range with an opponent after a successful disengage action, they gain two Initiative.

Fleet Dreaming Image

  • Cost: 5m
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Leaping Dodge Method

When an opponent moves into close range, the Solar may activate this Charm to immediately make a disengage action. This may only be activated once per turn.

Sunlight Bleeding Away

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 3
  • Prereqs: Fleet Dreaming Image

The Solar can spend a point of temporary Willpower when activating Fleet Dreaming Image to automatically succeed at the disengage action.

Tactics

Searing Quicksilver Flight

  • Mins: Dodge 4, Essence 1

When the Solar successfully dodges an attack, they gain a point of Initiative.

Safety Between Heartbeats

  • Type: Reflexive
  • Duration: One round
  • Mins: Dodge 4, Essence 2

Rumor Of Form

  • Cost: 3m
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Reed In The Wind

Used when the Solar successfully dodges an attack, the Solar gets a reflexive Dexterity+Stealth action to conceal themselves. They gain automatic successes on the Stealth check equal to the difference between the attack roll and their Evasion.

Hundred Shadow Ways

  • Cost: 6m
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Keywords: Stackable
  • Duration: One scene
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 3
  • Prereqs: Drifting Shadow Focus

Used when the Solar successfully dodges an attack, they become aware of the Charms used to augment it and may choose one (other than an Excellency). That Charm has no effect when used against the Solar and, if an attack is augmented by that Charm alone, it is automatically dodged.

Force-Stealing Feint

  • Cost: 5m
  • Type: Reflexive
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 2
  • Prereqs: Searing Quicksilver Flight

Used when the Solar successfully dodges an attack, they may roll the attack’s damage and add any successes to their Initiative.

Unbowed Willow Meditation

  • Type: Permanent
  • Mins: Dodge 5, Essence 3
  • Prereqs: Force-Stealing Feint

When the Solar uses Force-Stealing Feint against a decisive attack, they do not roll the attack’s damage – instead, they gain the attack’s full damage in points of Initiative.
