Solar Larceny Charms by Reyemile

Lightning-Hands Looting Method

Cost: 1 mote
Duration: 1 room
Type: Simple
Min. Larceny: 2
Min Essence: 1
Prereqs: none

An Exalted with this charm has mastered the art of taking what he wants, and is able to rifle through drawers, chests, and closets with lightning speed. When using this charm, the time it takes a Solar to search a single room, vault, or section of hallway for valuables is reduced to 1/(essence+1) normal. In addition, the Solar never takes environmental penalties to his stealth rolls due to noise made by frantic searching or handling noisy loot like coins and jewelery. However, using this charm prevents the Solar from making any non-magical attempts to conceal his search.

Everything-Not-Nailed-Down Spirit

Cost: 5 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: 1 scene
Type: Simple
Min. Larceny: 3
Min Essence: 2
Prereqs: Lightning-Hands Looting Method, Graceful Crane Stance

The Solar has mastered the art of burglary to the point where, strengthening her body with essence, she can empty entire vaults of treasure in a single theft, and leap from rooftop to rooftop with hundreds of pounds of treasure. When the Solar activates this charm, she channels essence into a large sack or bag, which she then loads with all the loot that she can. The bag is reinforced by the Solar's power, and will never break due to weight or sharp objects inside. A blow to the sack dealing at least 5 lethal damage will cause it to rip slightly and leave a trail of small items in the the theif's wake; the bag can survive a number of tears equal to the Solar's essence before disintegrating completely. In addition, the contents of the bag are partially shunted into elsewhere. For the purposes of carrying the bag, the Chosen's Strength+Athletics is increased by her Larceny. Her weight on the ground does not increase, allowing the chosen to leap from roof to roof without punching straight through from the load.

Note that this increase applies to carrying the bag only, and furthermore, the bag cannot hold anything but stolen valuables. This charm is not intended to carry provisions for long journeys.

Comments

I put hyphens in the Charm title for Everything-Not-Nailed-Down Spirit. If I overstepped my bounds, I apologize. Otherwise, I love the Charm! It's great imagery, though you might want to bump up the power a bit more. Or maybe drop it down to Essence 2. *grin* - DigitalSentience

      Done.
