Solar Awareness

Sun's Lofty Gaze 

  Cost: 6m; Mins: Awareness 4, Essence 3; Type: Simple
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Shaping
  Duration: One action
  Prerequisite Charms: Keen Sight Technique

(This charm allows the Solar to adjust his viewpoint to a point far above his current position, as if from a bird flying high above or even the Sun itself. The detail provided is very dim without the addition of additional charms enhancing the Solar's sight, and the glimpse itself only lasts for a few seconds, but this is enough to get a birds eye view of your surroundings. Attacks made with the benefit of this charm-based vision suffer from internal penalties for attacking from a distance, normal range penalties and external penalties for the strange vantage point.)

Solar Awareness Upgrades

Solars who know both Surprise Anticipation Method and any of the Awareness Excellencies may pay two experience points to permanently upgrade SAM so that it and all three of the Awareness Excellencies are considered to be the same Charm for the purposes of Charm activations and Combos. This Upgrade does not allow the Solar to use the Awareness Excellencies interchangeably.

Solar Charm Cascade Errata (Awareness)

  • Keen (Sense) Technique (page 225) changes its duration to One Day.
  • Unsurpassed (Sense) Discipline (page 226) changes its duration to One Day. The Solar may activate Keen (Sense) Technique on the same action he activates this charm, without the use of a combo. The reverse is not true.
  • Surprise Anticipation Method (page 226) may be purchased a second time at Essence 4. This extends the effect, allowing the Solar to notice anything that might be of interest regardless of rather or not it could be an immediate danger. The Solar may damp down his senses, purposely ignoring anything that isn't a danger, and remains in this state until he chooses to extend his awareness yet again.
