Some other versions of some of the charms. Played with, considered, and ultimately discarded. Have fun!


Hummingbird's Grace Prana (version 0.5)

Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Martial Arts: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisites: Dandelion Meditation
Like a far-off jasmine field on a spring breeze, the Exalt's opponent's can't tell where the Exalt's strikes are coming from. Attacks supplemented by this charm are made as if the target were unaware of them. Charms that react to or make the user aware of surprise attacks work against these attacks. The cost of this charm must be paid for every attack it supplements, before the attack roll is made. These attacks are still subject to dice penalties from multiple actions. This charm may only be used against one target per turn.

Falling Petal Attitude (version 0.8)

Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Martial Arts: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisites: Body of Air Method (Dandelion Meditation)
With this charm, the attacks made on the Exalt affect her as little as a stick swung through a rain of petals. The Exalt activates this charm in response to an attack and adds her Dexterity + Essence to her Stamina for purposes of soaking that attack.
Example: Frost-Eyes is being attacked by Sanquine Repose, an Abyssal wielding a grand daiklaive. Frost-Eyes dodges Sanguine Repose's attack, but not completely - Sanguine Repose has two successes left over, for a raw damage pool of 14. Frost-Eyes activates Falling Petal Attitude. He has 4 Dexterity, 4 Stamina, and 3 Essence. Frost-Eyes doesn't believe in wearing armor, so normally, he has a Lethal soak of 1, but against this blow, it increases to 5 (4 Dexterity + 3 Essence + 4 Stamina = 11. Divide by two and round down to get Lethal soak: 5). Sanguine Repose rolls 9 damage dice, and Frost-Eyes prays.

Felling the Ash (version 1.2)

Cost: 4 motes +1/extra attack, 1WP
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Martial Arts: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisites: Oak Seed's Blessing
The story of Evad'rikali and the storm serpent is just that, a story. She was beaten and bruised by the end; no one never gets hit. Which is why she developed this charm, named after an expression of her people for screwing oneself over. After being hit by an attack, the Exalt may activate this charm and make a series of counter-attacks no greater than the number of health-levels suffered. The Exalt receives extra successes on each attack roll equal to the extra successes scored by their attacker.
