===The Peacock Preens and Pecks=== *'''Cost:''' 4 motes; '''Mins:''' Martial Arts 5, Essence 3; '''Type:''' Reflexive *'''Keywords:''' Combo-OK, Counterattack *'''Duration:''' Instant *'''Prerequisite Charms:''' House of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony Form *The martial artist is too poised and too precise to allow an enemy within his bounds without being prepared. Using this charm a character can take an enemy's weapon and return it to them forthwith to show them the results of their ill manners. After an opponent attacks, with the perfect timing that only a Charm can provide, the martial artist counterattacks twice. First he performs a disarm counterattack on his attacker's weapon. Unlike usual attempts to disarm, this suffers no external penalty and adds two automatic successes to the attack roll. Second, if the disarming counterattack succeeds, the Exalt automatically makes one attack with that weapon against his attacker. If the weapon is one that the character cannot use with his Martial Arts ability, then he uses the lower of his Martial Arts or the most appropriate ability. After this attack the character can finish either holding the weapon, dropping it, or throwing it (Strength + Athletics) yards in any direction. A character can use this charm even if his hands are seemingly full, but if he wants to finish holding the weapon then he either needs a hand free or to reflexively drop or sheath something else he was holding. If this charm is used against a ranged attack then the disarm roll is applied against half the number of successes from the attack and making the counterattack requires that the character have an appropriate means of launching the projectile (i.e., the character only needs to have a hand to return a thrown weapon but to return an arrow launched at him requires having a bow on hand).
