Falling Star Maneuver

Cost: 1m per 2 dice of damage; Mins: Athletics 2, Essence 1; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Leader
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Effortlessly Rising Flame

A Dragon-Blood with this Charm can move with the grace of a flickering flame, using his speed and agility to flank his opponent and gain the advantage in combat. Each mote spent (up to the maximum of the Exalt's permanent Essence) adds two dice of damage to a successful hand-to-hand attack. This damage is added before soak is applied. Normally, this Charm can be used only in hand-to-hand combat, but with a stunt, it may be applied to a Thrown or Archery attack. One can do so only if the target has no cover and has left himself open to a flanking maneuver, though. This Charm is explicitly allowed in Combos with Charms of other Abilities.

Latest Errata: If applying this Charm to a ranged attack with a stunt, all that is required is for the target to lack cover.
