Summary: An attack does piercing damage. Add Martial Arts to damage against inanimate targets.

With this charm, the martial artist allows his body to vibrate in tune with the heart-pistons of the sleeping Machine God. Each of his strikes leaves glowing handprints and dents on his opponent's armor - not that it bothers most of them, since the released essence makes them erupt in fountains of gore inside their metal shells. The martial artist does piercing damage with one unarmed Martial Arts strike. If he uses this charm to strike against inanimate objects, he may add his Martial Arts score to his base damage.
