*Strength from Determination: The Lawgiver may set himself a task he must accomplish. While he works toward completing it the duration of Tireless Sentinel Technique is extended for however long he needs to finish his task or until he abandons it. As the cost of such inhuman determination he loses the ability to recover Willpower through sleep for that time however. | *Strength from Determination: The Lawgiver may set himself a task he must accomplish.

When a Lawgiver is capable of movement faster even than light itself, who can say whether a seemingly successful attack has hit his true form or only an after-image? This Charm is invoked in response to a successful attack. All consequences of the attack, including but not limited to damage and all keyword effects, affect only an after-image of the Lawgiver and not his actual self, effectively negating the attack completely. In addition any activation of Divine Flash Step as part of the same paradoxical evasion maneuver has its cost reduced by two motes to a minimum of zero. If the Lawgiver is prevented from moving as part of his escape (for example by Blockade maneuvers or other effects limiting his movement) Evanescent Mirage Evasion cannot be activated. This constitutes a Flaw of Invulnerability. | When a Lawgiver is capable of movement faster even than light itself, who can say whether a seemingly successful attack has hit his true form or only an after-image?

− | + | Only one of the enlightened Lawgivers could fold the greatest complexities of internal essence cultivation into a deceptively simple technique like this: A fleeting moment of concentration, a deep-reaching re-arrangement of her internal essence flows accomplished in a single heartbeat, and her enemies will fall under the transcendant strength of her palms without further effort. This Charm permanently enhances Orichalcum Fists of Battle (JC version) in the following way: By committing and additional nine motes and spending a point of Willpower the Solar multiplies her Strength by her Essence for the purpose of calculating the raw damage of her unarmed attacks. These attacks ignore hardness. | |

+ | With this blow are legends made. This Charm enhances Shockwave Technique. The Solar Exalt may pay an additional 1m 1w when activating the Charm. The attack it produces may not be dodged or parried. At Essence 4, the area-effect radius is multiplied by her Essence. At Essence 6, the area-effect radius is multiplied by her Essence again, for a total of Essence^2. In mass combat use of this Charm counts as mass destruction effect (as per Scroll of Kings) if the majority of the targeted unit is within the target area. | ||

− | Conventional wisdom and the shinma Nirupadhika state that one must be within reach of something to touch it. The Lawgiver with a flick of his fingers defies both, laughing as he does so. This Charm is invoked in Step 1 of attack resolution to increase the range of an unarmed attack to (Essence x 5) yards. Used in Step 2 of attack resolution it allows Defend Other to benefit another character within (Essence x 5) yards rather than the usual (Dexterity) yards. If increasing his range is unnecessary because the Lawgiver could reach his target normally this Charm instead imposes a -2 penalty to opponent DV due to its divine speed.

When Sol's Chosen vow to guard someone's back their vigilance is all-encompassing. Upon learning this Charm the Lawgiver chooses one Intimacy to a person or other concrete object. From that moment on he will always automatically count as having declared a Defend Other action to the benefit of that entity at all times without having to actually take an action or flurry. This Defend Other does not count against the usual maximum of one such action per DV refresh. If the Intimacy is abandoned the Solar may chose a new Intimacy to gain the benefit of this Charm.<br> | When Sol's Chosen vow to guard someone's back their vigilance is all-encompassing.

If the Intimacy is to the Lawgiver's Lunar mate then in addition the 1m surcharge to use Immortal Blade-Deflecting Palm to defend another does not apply in this case. No effect can impede or prevent the Solar from defending them; against any such effect the Lawgiver adds the rating of the Lunar Bond in automatic successes. | If the Intimacy is to the Lawgiver's Lunar mate then in addition the 1m surcharge to use Immortal Blade-Deflecting Palm to defend another does not apply in this case.
