The Exalt focuses, invoking the durability of the Earth as an enchantment on his armor. The degree of benefit is determined by the composition of the armor as described in the following chart, as armor that is more durable to begin with can more easily resist having its nature altered by Essence. The Exalt can also extend this benefit to any ally within a number of yards equal to his (Essence x 3) by paying the same cost for each ally protected. A character can benefit from the application of this Charm only once during a scene, and the Charm ends prematurely if the armor is removed for any reason before the end of the scene.

Armor Type	Soak Bonus
