Solar Hero Style

The Charm tree beginning with Fists of Iron Technique comprises the "natural" Solar style of unarmed fighting. The form weapons for this style are the cestus, fighting gauntlet, khatar, tiger claws, pankrator's cestus and improvised weapons. Solar Hero Style Charms treat attacks and blocks with these weapons as unarmed attacks and blocks. This includes the artifact versions of these weapons. A weapon is an "improvised" weapon if it has a maximum Accuracy of -3 and a maximum Rate of 2, such as a barstool, keg of brandy, omen hound or unattuned daiklave.

For the other Exalted, this Charm tree is a Celestial Martial Arts style that emulates and imitates the power of the heroes of the dawn. Celestial Exalted and Immaculate-trained Dragon-Blooded can learn these Charms, but they cannot develop or learn additional Charms for this tree.

For the Solar Exalted, these Charms are ordinary combat Charms—they bring the grace, speed and power of the Sun's Chosen to bear. Solars can invent new Charms for this tree—such asThunderclap Rush Attack and Knockout Blow. These new Charms are treated as Solar Charms, not supernatural martial arts: Only Solar Exalted (and Moonshadow Caste Abyssal Exalted) are capable of learning them.

Unlike with Snake Style, armor can be worn. (TODO need to review the rules for this...)
