In the [[AlphaOmega |Alpha and Omega]] game [[Elizabeth_'Liz'_Albrechts |Liz]] uses a variant of the Fire Dragon Style, which I propose was the original version which was later appropriated by Sidereals of the Bronze faction and renamed in honor of Hesiesh.

This write-up represents my attempt to fix the problems stemming from ambiguous wording (eg, dice vs. levels of damage) and strangely designed mechanics. I have noted where changes have already been accepted as house rules and where they are submitted for consideration by '''Aincumis'''.

The martial artist focuses fiery essence into her hands. For her MA in actions after she activates this charm she can chose as a non-charm action (reflexive, step 1) to employ this energy as a weapon, inflicting pain and distraction (a cumulative -1 internal penalty) in addition to the damage with a successful attack. Each such attack costs her 2m.<br>

Reason: ''As written it costs too much Essence for what it does and without free reflexives is pretty useless most of the time.''

+
As per the MoEP (keeping the levels-of-damage wording here) except that charm-powered soak is also inapplicable.
Reason: ''At 5m+1wp this is supposed to be a powerful attack, only as written it isn't. It can only be used against Exalted that have a non-empty personal Essence pool and the damage doesn't become dangerous until Ess 4. Both conditions are especially prohibitive in A&O.''
 
  
 
''On a related note I would suggest that where levels (not dice) of damage are soaked below the attacker's Essence, the resulting damage is equal to the calculated number of HL plus damage dice to 'fill up' the Essence ping. For example if an Ess 3 attacker deals 6 levels of damage against a soak of 4, the result is two HL of damage plus the result on a one die damage roll. That is, if there isn't an official clarification of the interaction of dice and levels of damage I'm unaware of.''
