Auspicious Hero Style

Complimentary Abilities: This is a natural style to the Sidereal Exalted, and it's charms are considered Sidereal charms and follow Sidereal themes. Unlike the natural styles of other types of Exalted, it is impossible for anyone other than the Maidens to make expansion charms for this style.

Auspicious Hero Style has a single Primary Ability: Brawl.

Weapons & Armor: This subtle manipulative style allows the use of any and all Martial Arts weapons, and Improvised Weapons, but stylists most commonly practice this style unarmed. The auspicious hero style does not restrict the use of armor.

Resplendencies of the Sword

  • Style-Discerning Eye, one Endurance, one Paradox die: The Sidereal no longer merely hopes to study under a particular tutor, but can realize that dream. Activating this effect reflexively whenever she observes clearly as another individual activates a Martial Arts Charm, the Sidereal may realize that Charm's trick. Thereafter, she may learn it without a tutor providing she possesses its prerequisites. This charm has its normal experience point cost, but the training time required to learn the charm is doubled. If the Sidereal doesn't learn the Charm within a year and a day, the realization fades.
  • Minimum Legal Defense Competence, one Endurance: The Sidereal may apply her full Defense Value to any incoming attack, ignoring all penalties, effects that set the Defense Value to zero and other negative effects, provided she uses no Charm, Virtue, Willpower or similar effect to enhance her defense further.
  • Tears of the Blade, three Endurance, one Paradox die: You can make the Superior Sign of the Sword at someone. If a mortal, that person is either instantly slain or dies horribly within five days at the Sidereal's choice. If Exalted, the target is irrevocably slain the next time any form of damage reduces him to Incapictated or below. For Terrestrial Exalted, this curse lasts until the end of their lives. It wears off Celestial Exalted in a year and a day. This Resplendency has no effect on gosd, elementals or those outside of fate.
