High-Flying Daredevil Style[edit]
- High-Flying Daredevil style is a Terrestrial Martial Art developed in the First Age by the Chosen of Journeys Roi Fokka for use in variable warstriders (colloqiually referred to as "Valkyries"). With the fall of the Shogunate, knowledge of the style in Creation died out, with only a few Sidereals retaining its techniques. It is usable in armor, including warstriders, and has no form weapons. It is elementally neutral.
- New Keyword: Warstrider: Charms with this keyword can only be used from inside warstriders, but doing so counts as channeling Essence through them, which can damage common and scout warstriders.
