The Humble Fist of Ice Style was developed in the Second Age a scant century ago. An air aspected Icewalker Dragonblooded named Daman Kurin developed this style to emulate the slow killing power of the icy north. Its creation enjoyed initial success before the rise of the Bull of the North. Now those who once learned it find themselves being killed by the Bull as he expands. The style is compatible with the cestus, khatar and tiger claws and is compatible with armor as well as artifact equivilants of each.

Humble Fist of Ice Style

Ice Clarity Sight Technique
Cost: 3m; Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: None

The training of a Humble Fist of Ice practitioner is done in the far north where the blizzards often blind a man as surely as night would. Training in such conditions the martial artist learns to see with an inner eye. The character ignores all weather related penalties to sight. The dark of night or things like that are not weather related penalties.


Chilled Blood Strike
Cost: 1m; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Ok
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None

When the cold seeps into your bones its hard to make yourself move. Infusing his fist with the essence of cold the martial artist strikes out and leaves her foe a shivering mess unable to fight back. This charm doubles wound penalties that the attack this charm supplements causes.


Morning Frost Assumption Method

Keywords: Obvious, Combo-Ok
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Ice Clarity Sight Technique

In the north the ground itself is often frozen. Digging in such earth is almost futile no matter how strong one is. Such is like attacking a Humble Fist of Ice warrior. When this charm is activated the character increases their lethal and bashing soak by their essence for the scene. This charm is compatible with armor.


Humble Fist of Ice Form
Cost: 6m; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Form-type
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Morning Frost Assumption Method, Chilled Blood Strike

The chill wind of the north cuts through all clothes right to the bone and the heart. The martial artist takes the stance of the Snow Lion, the Snow Squid, and then finally the Snow Eagle. Emulating these three one after the other in form grants the fists of the martial artist that same cutting nature as the cold of the north. His attacks are piercing from then on. However while cold does cut through clothes to the bone fire can hold back its power. For the rest of the scene the martial artist also takes an additional 4 dice of damage from fire based attacks.


Multi attack charm.

Speed penalizer attack.

Freezing fist ultimate charm.
