Editing SoF Exalted/TMA (section)

=Terrestrial Martial Arts=

Terrestrial Martial Arts are the only form of supernatural martial arts that mortals and other non-Exalts can learn. They are the lowest tier of supernatural martial arts, but also the most commonly learned.


==Requirements==

To use Terrestrial Martial Arts, you must have an Awakened Essence and a minimum Power TL of 2.


==Powers==

Terrestrial Martial Arts are Powers, but are quite restricted in terms of both scale and scope. On scale, you may not spend more than your Power TL+1 on any single power. None may be taken to the superheroic level, that's the preserve of Charms and Celestial Martial Arts For scope, only ever from the list below:

*Absorption* 
*Armour 
*Augmented Movement 
*Body Weaponry* 
*Enhanced Endurance**
*Enhanced Speed 
*Enhanced Strength**
*Enhanced Reflexes 
*Imbue Armour or Shield* 
*Imbue Weapon* 
*Poison* 
*Power Attack - Melee 
*Resistance* 
*Weapon Mastery

 *Some of these may be more appropriate for Sorcery than TMA
 **Enhanced Endurance and Enhanced Speed are custom-made Powers, see below.

==Limitations==

Terrestrial Martial Arts are generally elemental-aspected, and thus have restrictions relating to those elements. For example many Air-aspected styles cannot be performed in armour. The (water-based) Terrestrial Hero Style uses only swords and spears aside from martial arts weapons.
