Master Physician Technique

Cost	Commit 1m
Step	1
Type	Healing
Duration	Instant

Using appropriate tools, the Exalt may spend a scene treating a patient, accomplishing one of the following effects: • Treat a diagnosed disease. Treat as a venture with a time scale of a couple days of treatment. Mundane diseases are typically difficulty 3, while particularly deadly, esoteric or supernatural diseases may be difficulty 5 to achieve the same effect. Some supernatural diseases such as the Great Contagion may not be treated by this Charm. • Treat injuries. Make a Force + Sagacity roll with double 9s against difficulty equal to the total levels of damage in their patient’s health track. Success allows the patient to treat the scene as if it were a recovery scene and regain all lost health levels. Aggravated damage cannot be healed by this Charm.

Create a crafting venture with three obstacles at difficulty 3 and a time scale of once per scene. During each roll, the character may use extra successes on a special advantage, treating it as a future influence roll. When this venture is complete, the Exalt presents her handiwork to her target — a beautiful sculpture, a poem, a handmade meal, etc. Apply the successes applied to this Charm’s unique advantage as influence against the target’s Resolve.

Embassy

Thoughtful Gift Technique

Cost	Free
Step	1
Type	Social Influence
Duration	Instant

The Dragon-Blood diplomat presents her target with the perfect welcoming gift — or the perfect bribe.

When the character offers a gift or a bribe to her target, she gains double 9s so long as the intended social action is persuade or instill. No matter the scruples or moral strictures the target character may adhere to, they are never offended by the gift. Where appropriate, the character may also add her dots of Resources to this roll, if a display of wealth would further the cause. While in Fire aura, she may use this Charm to automatically instill a temporary, positive Minor Intimacy to herself, once per scene.

The sorcerer’s eyes become granite, her skin becomes ashen and cold, and her weight dramatically increases as her bones turn to stone.

Reduce all dice penalties associated with wounds by one (to a minimum of zero); the sorcerer adds two to her soak and her dice pools for feats of strength, and she does not take damage from falling regardless of height.

Cirrus Skiff

Cost	4 Will
Step	1
Type	Mobility
Duration	See Below

The cirrus skiff can carry up to 1,000 pounds of cargo and passengers, and travels as fast as a horse. It can fly up to a mile off the ground, and disappears if the caster travels underground, falls asleep, or is rendered unconscious. When used as part of a travel venture (p. XX), it reduces the number of obstacles by one.

Conjuring the Azure Chariot: This spell summons a bright blue sphere eight feet in diameter around the sorcerer and her possessions. In addition to reducing the number of obstacles, the chariot remains unaffected by any obstacles related to inclement weather. The sphere only persists from dawn until dusk, and may not be cast at night.
