=Terrestrial Martial Arts= Also known as the Root of the Perfected Lotus, Terrestrial Martial Arts (often abbreviated to TMA) are those Styles which are closest to mundane fighting arts. A practicioner will hit stuff, throw stuff, grapple people, but their Style will magically enhance such activities. Terrestrial Martial Arts root the Perfected Lotus, but are also its entrance. They help the martial artist start controlling his Essence with discipline, much like mundane Martial Arts will help him discipline his body. The themes explored through TMA are usually very specific, and the techniques a practitioner will learn are usually only useful in precise circumstances. Terrestrial Martial Arts are the only form of supernatural martial arts that mortals and most 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, your CamPL limits on AP expenditure on any single Advantage apply even after chargen. None may be taken to the superheroic level, that's the preserve of other Powers and Celestial Martial Arts. For scope, only ever from the list below: * Absorption * Augmented Movement * Binding * [[SoF_Exalted/New_Advantages#Enhanced_Endurance |Enhanced Endurance]] * Enhanced Speed * [[SoF_Exalted/New_Advantages#Enhanced_Strength |Enhanced Strength]] * Enhanced Reflexes * Imbue Armour or Shield * Imbue Weapon * Poison * Power Attack - Melee * Power Attack - Ranged * Resistance * Weapon Mastery ==Restrictions== 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 Five Dragon Style uses only swords and spears aside from martial arts weapons. Generally, though, these sorts of restrictions are for flavour and grant no AP discount to the cost of Powers. Note that you may not purchase Super Powers with Terrestrial Martial Arts, this is the preserve of the Celestial tier.
