Solar Counterattack

Cost: 3m; Mins: Melee 4, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive (Step 9)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Counterattack, Martial-ready
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Dipping Swallow Defense

Those who attack the Chosen of the Sun invite their own deaths. The Solar invokes this Charm after using her Parry DV against an attack. This Charm gives the Solar a counterattack, which is resolved in Step 9 of the initial attack's resolution. See counterattacks.

If the Lawgiver has stocked any free reflexive attacks, she may expend one such attack as part of the three mote cost of this Charm's activation to make her counterattack unblockable. (See Final Sunset Stance from Ink Monkeys, Vol. 32 for an example of stocking free reflexive attacks.)

Martial-ready: Archery, Martial Arts, Thrown. The unblockable version of Solar Counterattack is available only to Martial Arts and Melee.

Vengeful Riposte

Same Charm for Abyssal Exalted. Adds Mirror keyword.
Prerequisite Charms: Vengeful Riposte

The Abyssal holds his weapon loosely at his side, his monstrous arrogance practically inviting opponents to strike him, while promising horrific retribution on anyone foolish enough to take the dare. The Charm does not defend the deathknight in any way, but he can strike back with his weapon at his attacker.
