Tiger Warrior Training Technique

Cost: 10m, 2wp; Mins: War 4, Essence 3; Type: Simple (Dramatic Action)
Keywords: Obvious, Touch, Training
Duration: One week
Prerequisite Charms: Heroism-Encouraging Presence

Under the banner of the Solar Exalted, even bandits and peasants become deadly warriors. This Charm involves training a military unit. This Charm requires five or more hours of effort in any given week to bear fruit. This Charm increases the Drill of a unit by one for each week of training, to a maximum of Drill 5. In each week of training, the trainer picks one trait to train: Valor, Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, Archery, Dodge, Martial Arts or Melee. This Charm increases that trait for each member of the unit by one dot, to a maximum of 4. The Solar can train with the unit or as a solo unit, increasing her own traits. She cannot increase others' traits past her own.

As usual, characters who receive training and aren't extras must pay the normal experience cost for any trait increases. If they can't afford this cost, they go into "experience point debt." They must pay at least half of all awarded experience points, rounded down, toward this debt until repaid.

Hardened Killer Training Style

The same as an Abyssal Exalted Charm. Adds Mirror Keyword.
Prerequisite Charms: Glorious Carnage Typhoon

This Charm takes raw recruits and brutally transforms them into incarnate weapons. Units composed of ghosts or the walking dead take twice as long to train as living troops, encouraging Abyssals to train prospective war ghosts prior to their final promotion.

Unlike its Solar Mirror, this Charm cannot train Valor and badly damages the psyches of those it teaches. Each week of training poisons the positive Intimacy that most distracts the trainee from his education (assuming any exist), shifting the emotional context of that Intimacy to contempt or hatred.
