Scattered Sunlight Attitude and Wind Through the Willows Approach: Difference between pages

Latest revision as of 02:04, 5 December 2007

Kind: Solar
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower
Duration: One scene
Type: Reflexive
Min. Dodge: 5
Min. Essence: 4
Source: Sol Invictus
Prerequisite Charms: Seven Shadow Evasion
Summary: For a scene ranged attacks automatically miss you unless they are undodgeable, perfect, or made with projectiles larger than your body.

The motions of the character become so finely tuned and precise that any attack from a distance becomes utterly harmless to her; when fired upon, she artfully darts away. For the remainder of the scene, any attacks made upon the character using projectiles, whether physical or energetic, miss automatically. This is not a perfect effect — attacks which automatically hit regardless of the attack roll bypass this protection. In addition, it cannot dodge attacks which could not normally be dodged. Attacks with an area of effect also bypass it if they consist of a solid area of damaging material larger than the exalt, although they do not if they consist of a cloud of smaller projectiles.

-|desc=Confronted with an incoming attack, the character's body breaks into thousands of minuscule motes of sunlight to avoid the blow. Using this charm, the exalt may evade any one attack she can perceive, even if it is normally undodgeable. Upon transforming, the character can reflexively move away from the source of the damage at her full movement rate, after which she returns to her human form. If this charm was used to dodge an attack with an area of effect which the character would still be subject to, however, she must reactivate this charm each turn to remain in sunlight form until she can successfully move beyond the attack's boundaries; if she cannot afford to do so, she suffers the full effects of the attack. While made of sunlight, the character can take no action besides movement.
