Dodge Charms

 

Ill-Approving Eyes

Cost: 1 mote per 2 dice

Duration: Instant

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Heart: 2

Minimum Essence: 1

Prerequisite Charms: None

The character’s brooding Essence looks down upon the game of worlds the Fair Folk play and is not much impressed. With short, sharp gestures of fate, he declares the impotence of others’ events. For each mote spent, this Charm adds two dice to an attempt to dodge a shaping attack the raksha can anticipate. A character cannot gain more dice than his shaping Trait + Dodge. The raksha’s player must declare how many motes he wishes to spend on this Charm before his opponent’s player makes the shaping attack roll.

 

Assertion Of A Greater Vision

Cost: 2 motes

Duration: Instant

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Heart: 2

Minimum Essence: 1

Prerequisite Charms: Ill-Approving Eyes

Setting his name upon local reality, the character denies the world shaping of others as paltry shadows and dreams. The events they assert may happen, but what of it? They are meaningless background images behind the raksha’s own great work of fate. This Charm lets the raksha dodge a single anticipated attack with his full shaping Trait + Dodge pool. (In Exalted Power Combat, add his Essence to this pool.) The raksha’s player must spend the Essence for Assertion of a Greater Vision before his opponent’s player makes her attack roll.

 

Sapphire Emptiness Kata

Cost: 6 motes

Duration: Instant

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Heart: 2

Minimum Essence: 1

Prerequisite Charms: Ill-Approving Eyes

As an opponent works her shaping, the raksha declares, “This shall not be.” And it is not. This Charm increases the difficulty to hit the raksha with a single dodgeable shaping attack that she can anticipate by the raksha’s Dodge. The raksha’s player must invoke Sapphire Emptiness Kata before the opponent’s player makes his attack roll.

 

Howling Dream Consumption Prana

Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower

Duration: One story

Type: Simple

Minimum Heart: 3

Minimum Essence: 2

Prerequisite Charms: Assertion of a Greater Vision, Sapphire Emptiness Kata

The raksha opens the mouths of her Graces, and inside them, there is the hunger of the void, and she eats the world shaped by her enemies. For the rest of the story, this Charm lets the character use her full shaping Trait + Dodge dice pool to reflexively dodge all shaping attacks. (In Exalted Power Combat, add her Essence to this pool.)
