Humble Performer Method</b>
<b>Cost:8 motes, 1 Wilpower Duration: One Day Type: Simple Minimum Performance: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: King of Masks Technique, Graceful Reed Dancing, Masterful Performance Exercize
Those who entertain are often the most invisible. Their music masks their presence; their dancing masks their faces. By using this Charm, the Solar can take on the mien of such humble entities, the better to walk amidst the world unnoticed. Subtly woven into her song, dance, or other means of performance (grand speeches and military training, obviously, do not usually work) are essence patterns that call upon the onlookers to ignore the person entertaining, and simply focus on the entertainment. As long as the Solar takes no action "out of character" for a simple performer, add the Solar's Performance in dots as a difficulty penalty to all attempts to discover her true identity, including attempts to perceive invested motes on the character. If the Solar ever takes any non-performance action that would attract attention, such as combat, letting her anima banner shine free or having her caste mark noticed, this charm instantly fails and cannot be used again until its duration would ordinarily be up.
In Second Edition, this Charm has a cost of 5 motes, 1 Willpower. It requires any two Performance Excellencies. Instead of adding a penalty to a roll to discover the Solar's identity, any such attempts, or attempts to notice the Solar at all as anything other than background (the performance effect is still noticeable) automatically fail unless an observer has a minimum two-die bonus from circumstances as per Easily Overlooked Presence Method. This Charm will instantly end if the character is joined in battle.
Celestial Display</b>
<b>Cost:1 motes per die Duration: Instant Type: Supplemental Minimum Performance: 1 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: None
The Exalt channels his power so as to lend beauty, grace, and skill to any performance, whether as a dancer, a musician, or a master of disguise. For every mote spent activating this Charm, add one die to the character's Attribute + Performance dice pool. The Exalt may no more than double his base Attribute + Performance dice pool.
In Second Edition, this Charm is quite different:
Cost: --; Mins: Performance 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent Keywords: Combo-OK Prerequisite Charms: Infinite Performance Mastery, Performance Essence Flow
The endless passion of Solars grants them a heavenly grace for which no limits can apply. When this Charm is purchased, the Solar selects an Intimacy which represents a loyalty to an ideal as per Righteous Lion Defense (Exalted 2nd Edition, page 199; this need not be the same Intimacy as one of the character's Righteous Lion Defenses, nor is it exclusionary thereof). So long as the character is acting in pursuit of that Intimacy, she may freely combine the discount from Infinite Performance Mastery-- or any other source-- and Performance Essence Flow. This Charm may be purchased a second time for a second intimacy, but any further dedication requires more complicated and potent Charms. This Charm may be shifted to a different Intimacy under the same conditions as per Righteous Lion Defense.
Beatific Phantasmagoria</b>
<b>Cost:--; Mins: Performance 5, Essence 5; Type: Permanent Keywords: None Prerequisite Charms:Phantom-Conjuring Performance
The majesty and depth of the phantoms summoned to aid in the performance of the Solar resonates with her soul and shard alike. The creative potential of the human dream is strengthened by Solar essence, and the power of the Solar is buoyed by the infinite potential that humanity is heir to. On any stunt that uses phantoms created by Phantom-Conjuring Performance that involves thematics appropriate to the character's caste, all stunt dice are converted to successes and the character receives an extra willpower point reward (regardless of whether or not willpower is selected as a reward) for stunts with ratings of 2 or 3.
