Resistance Charms

 

Writhing Ego Evasion

Cost: 1 mote per soak

Duration: One story

Type: Simple

Minimum Heart: 1

Minimum Essence: 1

Prerequisite Charms: None

Desperate for freedom and the integrity of self, the raksha writhes her way out of the trap of another’s shaping. This Charm increases her Willpower by one per mote spent for the purposes of calculating soak. The raksha cannot spend more motes on this Charm than her Temperance.

 

Swallowed Grace Defense

Cost: 3 motes

Duration: Instant

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Heart: 1

Minimum Essence: 2

Prerequisite Charms: Writhing Ego Evasion

The raksha metaphysically gulps her Graces into herself, sealing them over with Essence to keep an enemy at bay. The raksha invokes this Charm when someone uses shaping to attack her. If the attacker does less pre-soak damage than the raksha’s Willpower, this Charm lets her ignore the attack entirely.

 

Pyre Of Dreams Defense

Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower

Duration: Instant

Type: Reflexive

Minimum Heart: 3

Minimum Essence: 1

Prerequisite Charms: Writhing Ego Evasion

The raksha’s pain at a shaping attack scatters images of fire and disaster through the dream. This Charm sets the damage successes of a successful attack that hits the raksha to two, regardless of how many dice the enemy would otherwise roll. This damage cannot be further lowered by other Charms or effects. The raksha must use this Charm after the attack hits but before the attack’s damage is rolled.
