Keywords: Combo-Basic, Enhanced, Form-type, Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Sledgehammer Fist Punch, Dragon Coil Technique

The Solar suffuses his body with the Essence of the Sun. He becomes a paragon of strength and skill, radiant with the power of a legendary hero returned. There is nothing formal to this fighting style, but there is an unstoppable and unchallengeable grace to it. This is an honest battle art, for champions, gladiators and heroes. It was forged in the dawning of the world so that the Lawgivers could face the greatest monsters with nothing save their hands and skill and be undaunted by them.

This Charm allows the Exalt to count the successes of unarmed Martial Arts attacks twice for the purposes of determining damage. She must spend one mote reflexively in Step 7 of attack resolution each time she takes advantage of this effect. This Charm also allows the character to make an unarmed Martial Arts block against ranged and lethal attacks without a stunt.

Like Snake Form, this Charm cannot be activated at the same time as another Form Charm without first deactivating the other Form. This is the usual restriction placed on all Form-type Charms.

Enhancement: While this Charm is active, the Solar adds his Martial Arts rating to his natural bashing and lethal soak.
