Another Pays the Reaper
Cost: 3m; Mins: Dodge 4, Essence 3; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-Ok Duration: Instant Prerequisite Charms: Flitting Shadow Form, Any Dodge Excellency
The world is an uncertain and capricious place. Death can come swiftly to both those deserving and those not, but for the target of this charm, sooner than later. The Abyssal curses another to suffer the chance of death that is coming for them. This has the effect of allowing them to use their dodge DV against undodgable attacks. Also, should they dodge an attack successfully, the attack is redirected at a target of the Abyssal's choice within double their Essence in yards.
Guardian at the Gates
Cost: --; Mins: Dodge 3, Essence 3; Type: Permanent Keywords: Duration: Permanent Prerequisite Charms: Any Dodge Excellency, Flitting Shadow Form
Abyssals stand between the next world and all others, and they decide who may pass and who may not. When they desire to see someone survive, Abyssals may use this charm to Defend Others with their Dodge rather than Parry Defense Value. This includes using charms to defend, but such comes at a price. They metaphysically shoulder the burden of expected pain, adding 1 die to the post soak damage of the first successful attack on them for every Dodge charm used protecting another. This stacks, but is reset to 0 with DV refresh. As a secondary bonus, when the Abyssal knows Shadow Fades at Dawn, they may use Defend Other actions to protect their Dexterity in people within their Dodge+Essence yards.
