+ | Those with Awakened Essences can also use that connection to fuel their martial arts abilities. You can choose to take Expert Advantages Hard Style, Soft Style or Wrestler, along with any of the Heroic Advantages with the Enlightened (-1) Limitation on them. This changes them to Powers with an activation difficulty of 4 which last the scene. You distinguished Enlightened Powers by marking them "(E)". So for example a Terrestrial grappling style might be Ground and Pound(E). | ||
− | + | The purpose of this is to give the Enlightened martial artist a broader range of powers but at the risk of Essence Stress. | |

+ | |||
+ | Supernatural Martial Arts are treated in the same way as other Powers. There is a cap on the maximum Weapon Rating (WR), Armour Rating (AR) or Explosive Rating (ExR) achieved with any Power equal to the character's Power Tech Levelx2. Only Sorcery is exempt from this restriction. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Many supernatural Martial Arts styles come with limitations on them, such as elemental aspects which restrict how they can be used. Elemental-aspecting means taking Limitations on each one, which reduce their cost. There are other forms of restriction, all of which reduce the cost. Guidance on how much they should reduce a Power by are given in the table below. | ||

+ | <pre> | ||
+ | AP Cost Limitation | ||
+ | Modifier | ||
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
+ | -1 Any form of restriction on armour (light only, unarmoured only, etc) and/or weapons (no metal weapons, unarmed only, etc) | ||
+ | Enlightened (requires activation, lasts for scene) | ||
+ | |||
+ | -2 Enlightened and restricted armour/weapons | ||
+ | </pre> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | As always, a Limitation cannot bring the cost of a Power under 1AP. | ||
