*Scarlet essence flares around the martial artist, giving her the fate of an armed and armored warrior. For the rest of the scene, the character's Martial Arts attacks (including clinches) inflict lethal damage. The character can also parry lethal damage from physical attacks (including ranged attacks) without using a weapon or stunt. What's more, every two motes spent on this charm adds one die to the damage roll of every unarmed Martial Arts attack the character makes and adds one level to the character's soak (both lethal and bashing), adding a maximum of the character's Essence to both. This soak bonus acts like armor in all respects, except that it does not interfere with the use of Martial Arts Charms. Attacks that ignore armor ignore this soak, although aggravated damage does not. These bonuses only apply to unarmed Martial Arts attacks and only if the character does not wear armor (even if the character uses Martial Arts Charms from a style that permits armor, such as the Earth Dragon Style described in ''Manual of Exalted Power: Dragon-Blooded'', though so long as that character is not in armor they would receive both the armor bonus and would receive the damage bonus with both fists and grand goremauls as those both count as unarmed for Earth Dragon Style).
