 CHARMS
 ======
 
 ARCHERY
 ---------
 Unobstructed Hunter’s Aim
 Cost: 1m per die; Mins: Archery 1, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Uniform, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 Sighting along the flow of living Essence, the Dragon-Blood
 unleashes a flawless shot. She may add bonus dice to an
 Archery roll for one mote each. As long as she attacks a living
 target — or an undead one, which stands out as a void in the
 Essence of the world — each added die negates one point of
 penalty from visual obstruction such as poor lighting or smoke.
 
 Sky-Calming Draw
 Cost: 3m; Mins: Archery 2, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Air, Uniform
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood’s focus quells the wind that would
 divert her arrow, ensuring her shot flies true. She extends
 the range of a withering or decisive attack by one range
 band, maximum long (including those made with Flame
 weapons), and ignores penalties from wind or inclement
 weather. If her weapon already has long range, she instead adds an automatic success on the attack roll.
 
 Death From Nowhere
 Cost: 4m; Mins: Archery 3, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Air/Water, Balanced, Withering-only
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: Sky-Calming Draw
 As the Dragon-Blood draws back her arrow against her
 bowstring, she withdraws and disperses its weightiness, sending it flying like an ephemeral phantom to
 pierce her foe’s heart. Her withering attack ignores
 (lower of Essence or Perception) points of soak from
 armor. If her attack benefits from aiming, she ignores
 (higher of Essence or Perception) soak instead.
 
 Harvest of the Hunter
 Cost: 1m; Mins: Archery 2, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood may go to hunt with an empty quiver
 yet never lack for arrows. Anything that grows will yield
 up arrows to the archer’s gathering hands. She can create
 useable ammunition for a bow or crossbow from any kind
 of plant, whether it’s a marsh reed or a stalk of corn. In
 combat, she doubles 8s on an ammunition check for an
 Archery weapon (Exalted, p. 202). As long as she rolls a
 single success, she’s guaranteed to scavenge a single arrow.
 Outside of combat, she may use this Charm to gather
 enough arrows to fill her quiver as long as there’s sufficient
 plant life to draw her harvest from, although the Storyteller
 may require a special ammunition check to create arrows
 in barren deserts or other areas devoid of plant life.
 
 Life-Swelling Sap Strike
 Cost: 3m (+1wp); Mins: Archery 3, Essence 2
 Type: Simple
 Keywords: Decisive-only, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: Harvest of the Hunter
 The Dragon-Blood’s arrow bursts into a crush of ever-growing roots or vines in midflight, entangling her
 enemy in thick plants. She makes a distract gambit
 (Exalted, p. 200). On a success, her projectile bursts
 into growing vines, inflicting a −1 mobility penalty on
 the distracted character — which stacks with penalties
 from armor — for the rest of the scene. He or one of his
 allies can cut away the vines with a difficulty 3 gambit
 using an edged weapon, or the Storyteller might deem
 other actions or conditions sufficient. At the end of
 each round in which he remains entangled, he loses
 a point of Initiative (which the Dragon-Blood doesn’t
 gain). Battle groups lose one Magnitude instead.
 If the Dragon-Blood pays a one-Willpower surcharge,
 an undead crashed by this attack is incapacitated,
 crumbling into soil. This surcharge is waived against
 trivial foes. This doesn’t apply to stronger undead,
 such as nephwracks, Deathlords, or undead Exalted.
 The body of any living mortal slain while covered in
 vines won’t harbor a hungry ghost. Outside of combat,
 the Dragon-Blood may use this Charm on dying mortals to ensure they leave no hungry ghosts, waiving the
 Willpower cost for willing targets.
 In Wood Aura, the Dragon-Blood may use this Charm
 to make a standard decisive attack instead of a distract
 gambit.
 
 BUREAUCRACY
 ---------
 Geese-Flying-South Administration
 Cost: 2m per success; Mins: Bureaucracy 1, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Water
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Essence of a bureaucracy is flow — the flow of a
 leader’s orders to her subordinates, the flow of wealth
 in and out, the flow of information, the flow of progress
 and delay. The Dragon-Blood may add automatic successes to a Bureaucracy roll for two motes each, and
 rerolls 6s until they cease to appear.
 
 Benevolent Master’s Blessing
 Cost: 1m; Mins: Bureaucracy 3, Essence 2
 Type: Simple
 Keywords: Water
 Duration: Indefinite
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood marks a subordinate with a sign of
 her authority, often handing out a badge or token, or
 leaving a swirling black tattoo of Water Essence on his
 hand. If the subordinate presents the token or mark,
 all who see it know instinctively that he’s the DragonBlood’s servant (or, if they don’t know of her, the servant
 of a Prince of the Earth), and that he carries authority to
 negotiate on her behalf. In addition, that character gains
 a temporary Bureaucracy specialty that applies on rolls
 to follow the Dragon-Blood’s orders or pursue her best
 interests.
 
 Dashing Brook Method
 Cost: 2m, 1wp; Mins: Bureaucracy 4, Essence 2
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Water
 Duration: One task
 Prerequisite Charms: Benevolent Master’s Blessing
 The Dragon-Blood clears the obstacles that impede the
 flow of her bureaucracy, channeling its labor into efficacious speed. This Charm enhances a project (Exalted, p.
 226) or other bureaucratic task, multiplying the speed
 at which the organization makes progress by (highest of
 Charisma, Manipulation, or Intelligence). The Attribute
 she uses must match her leadership style. This Charm
 cannot speed a bureaucratic task that would normally
 take more than (Essence) years.
 
 
 DODGE
 ---------
 Threshold Warding Stance
 Cost: 2m per +1 Evasion or success; Mins: Dodge 1,
 Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental or Reflexive
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Fire, Uniform
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood’s body is as light as flames, skimming over the ground as she moves to evade. She may
 raise her Evasion for two motes per point, or add automatic successes on a Dodge roll for two motes each.
 She ignores environmental penalties to her Evasion or
 to the Dodge roll.
 
 Flickering Candle Meditation
 Cost: 1m, 1i; Mins: Dodge 3, Essence 1
 Type: Reflexive
 Keywords: Fire, Perilous, Uniform
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood dances like a flame around the flaws in
 her enemy’s attack. (Essence) 1s on her enemy’s attack roll allow her to ignore that many points of penalty to her Evasion
 
 Hopping Firecracker Evasion
 Cost: 3m, 2i; Mins: Dodge 3, Essence 2
 Type: Reflexive
 Keywords: Fire, Perilous, Uniform
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: Flickering Candle Meditation
 The Dragon-Blood’s feet strike sparks from the ground,
 finally igniting in an explosive leap When she dodges
 an attack that misses her Evasion by at least two successes, she may move one range band in any direction.
 
 LARCENY
 ---------
 Observer Awareness Method
 Cost: 1m Mins: Larceny 2, Essence 1
 Type: Reflexive
 Keywords: Water
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 Even the slightest ripple of attention is perceptible
 to the savvy Dragon-Blood. When her suspicions are
 roused, she may invoke this Charm to roll (Perception
 + Larceny). As long as she rolls a single success, she
 can intuitively discern whether she's being watched
 and by how many people.
 
 With Larceny 4, Essence 2, the Dragon-Blood may
 identify the precise location of an ubserver if she beats
 (the higher of his Stealth or Guile).
 
 PERFORMANCE
 ---------
 UNIVERSAL
 Audience-Enthusing Display
 Cost: 2m per success; Mins: Performance 2, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood drinks in her audience’s appreciative eyes and repays them with her masterful
 performance. She may add automatic successes to a
 Performance roll for two motes each and ignores the
 penalty for targeting multiple characters with a social
 influence roll (Exalted p. 221).
 
 Talented Improvisation
 Cost: 5m; Mins: Performance 4, Essence 2
 Type: Reflexive
 Keywords: Balanced, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood is moved by an innate genius for
 performance, intuiting the entire composition of a
 song after hearing only a few notes or turning a clumsy
 misstep into the beginning of a provocative dance.
 After making a Performance roll, she rerolls (Essence)
 non-1 failed dice. If she uses a stunt to explain how she
 recovers from her misstep, this Charm’s cost is reduced
 by the stunt’s level.
 
 MUSIC AND SINGING
 Sanxian-Charming Fingers
 Cost: 3m; Mins: Performance 3, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon-Blood draws on practice-honed perfection
 and creative virtuosity, doubling 9s on a Performance
 roll to play a musical instrument.
 
 DANCE
 Swaying Boughs Arabesque
 Cost: 4m; Mins: Performance 2, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 Moving with sensuous rhythm and vivacious appeal,
 the Dragon-Blood embodies beauty through dance.
 This Charm supplements a Performance roll to dance,
 lowering the Resolve of all targets by 1. This both lowers the difficulty of the roll and potentially increases
 the bonus dice added by the Exalt’s Appearance
 (Exalted, p. 371).
 
 Petal-Strewn Pavane
 Cost: 3m, 2i; Mins: Performance 2, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Perilous, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: Swaying Boughs Arabesque
 The Dragon-Blood makes no distinction between
 dance hall and field of battle. She adds (Performance)
 bonus dice to any combat movement roll. Additionally,
 she can flurry the supplemented movement with a
 Performance-based action without flurry penalties.
 This Charm can’t be used if the Exalt is wearing medium or heavy armor.
 In Wood Aura, this Charm also adds a non-Charm bonus success on the roll, and allows the Dragon-Blood
 to ignore the normal penalties for moving through
 difficult terrain.
 
 PRESENCE
 ---------
 Unbearable Taunt Technique
 Cost: 2m; Mins: Presence 2, Essence 1
 Type: Simple
 Keywords: Fire
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 Even the meekest hearts are tinderboxes for the flames
 of outrage the Dragon-Blood stirs. She rolls to inspire
 a single character with anger. If successful, her target
 must immediately respond to her with hostility. His
 player chooses the form this takes -- outrage, threats,
 or even Joining Battle.
 In combat, this influence roll instead provokes an
 enemy into prioritizing the Dragon-Blood
 instead of any of her allies on his next turn. Even if
 he does pay the Willpower cost to resist, he loses two
 Initiative if he attacks any other character that turn.
 
 RIDE
 ---------
 Scattered Pearl Hoof Falls
 Cost: 2m per success; Mins: Ride 1, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The hoofbeats of the Dragon-Blood’s mount strike the
 ground as swiftly and lightly as pearls falling from a
 broken necklace, speeding her onwards to her goal.
 She may add automatic successes to a Ride roll for
 two motes each, and she ignores one point of mobility
 penalty from her mount’s barding.
 
 Tread Rooted in Life
 Cost: 4m; Mins: Ride 3, Essence 1
 Type: Reflexive
 Keywords: Balanced, Wood
 Duration: One scene
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 At one with the wilderness that surrounds them, horse
 and rider move with matchless grace. They may gallop
 through undergrowth, weave between trees in a dense
 forest, or trample over brambles. The Dragon-Blood
 ignores plant-based environmental penalties to her
 mounted movement actions.
 Any environmental penalties on her Ride rolls due to
 plants or vegetation-covered terrain are lowered by
 two points.
 
 SOCIALIZE
 ---------
 Loquacious Courtier Technique
 Cost: 2m per success or +1 Guile; Mins: Socialize 1, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental or Reflexive
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Fire, Mute
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The Dragon0Blood endears herself to all company with
 pleasing and faultless manners. She may add automati-
 ic successes to SOcialize rolls or raise her Guile for two
 motes each.
 
 SURVIVAL
 ---------
 Ration-Enhancing Method
 Cost: 2m; Mins: Survival 1, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Excellency, Wood
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 The wilderness welcomes the Dragon-Blood’s presence,
 recognizing her as a Prince of the Earth. She may add automatic successes to a Survival roll for two motes each. If she
 enhances a roll to forage for food, it yields enough edible
 plants or game to feed a single additional character besides
 her for one day per threshold success.
 
 
 WAR
 ---------
 
 Tactics Mean Everything
 Cost: 1m per die; Mins: War 1, Essence 1
 Type: Supplemental
 Keywords: Balanced, Earth, Excellency
 Duration: Instant
 Prerequisite Charms: None
 Wise strategy is the foundation upon which victories
 are built. The Dragon-Blood may add bonus dice to a
 War roll for one mote each, and rerolls 6s until they
 cease to appear.
 
 
 ============
 ANIMA POWERS
 ============
 
 • For five motes, the Wood Aspect becomes immune
 to mundane plant-based poisons, and doubles 9s
 on rolls to resist other poisons and diseases for the
 scene. She gains these benefits for free while at
 bonfire.
 
 • For three motes, the Wood Aspect becomes flexible as a sapling in the wind, ignoring one point of
 penalty to Evasion or (Essence) points of penalty
 on a movement action for an instant.
 
 • A Wood Aspect’s anima flux is laced with toxic
 power. A character that takes damage from it is exposed to a poison with Damage 2i/round, Duration
 (Essence + Stamina) rounds, and a −1 penalty.
