Revised Charms
Unbreakable Fascination Kata
Cost: 4 motes Duration: Until Abandoned Type: Simple Minimum Martial Arts: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Wood Dragon Form
The Immaculate executes a series of elaborate and almost hypnotic Katas, his anima lightly flaring and billowing in intoxicating patterns. All those watching this display find it oddly distracting, and suffer a -1 penality to all rolls. However, the Immaculate may specifically target up to his Essence rating in individiuals with this charm. Those who are targeted find the display completely overpowering, often standing rooted in spot, all their attention on the Martial Artist. A target must be able to clearly see the Immaculate performing this charm to be affected by it.
When first invoking this charm, the Immaculate makes a Charisma + Martial Arts roll. This roll is not an attack, and cannot be boosted by charms or effects that boost Martial Arts attacks. Anyone specfically targeted with this charm who wishes to take an action other than standing rapt in awe must make a Wits + Essence roll, with a difficulty equal to the number of successes the Immaculate achieved on the roll. While maintaining this charm, the Immaculate can only move at half his normal movement rate, speak, and dodge. Any other action, especially an attack, instantly breaks the effect.
Enthralling Blow Attack
Cost: 8 motes, 1 willpower Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Martial Arts: 5 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Unbreakable Fascination Kata
The Immaculate using this charm must succeed in a normal Martial Arts attack against his opponent, and then instead of rolling damage the Immaculate's player makes a Martial Arts + Essence roll. The target makes a reflexive willpower roll, which has a difficulty equal to the successes the Immaculate gained on the above roll. If the targets roll fails, he is enthralled and loses any action for the rest of the turn -- he simply stands there, slack-jawed and vacant eyed. The target may attempt to shake off the effects of this charm every turn, with the difficulty for the Willpower roll dropping by one every turn.
Spirit-Rending Technique
Cost: 7 motes, 1 willpower Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Martial Arts: 5 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Spirit-Wracking Method
The Immaculate's command over the points of weakness and dispersion in the immaterial spirits, ghosts, demons and other such beings grows potent enough to accomplish much more than simple disruption. A well aimed strike can, instead, rip the Immaculates target apart with its own internal Esssence flows. The Martial Artist must make a normal martial arts attack, either armed or unarmed, but does no actual damage. The character instead rolls Essence + Willpower + the number of successes on the attack roll, comparing the result to the spirits Essence rating. Every multiple of the spirits Essence that the character achieves inflicts an amount of automatic unsokable aggravated damage equal to the Immaculates Essence rating. If the successes on the roll do not exceed the spirit's Essence, then this charm has no effect.
'For Example: Soft Blossom chooses to make an example of her fight with Talia, a weak nature spirit. She stirkes Talia, and her player rolls four successes on her attack roll and 10 successes on her Willpower + Essence + successes roll. Talia is a weak spirit with only Essence 3, while Soft Blossom has an Essence of 4. The spirit thus takes 12 unsokable levels of aggravated damage.
