Demure Carp Feint

Cost: 3m; Mins: Martial Arts, 3 Essence
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Mastery, Uniform
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None

The Dreaming Pearl Courtesan dances away from the blows of her enemies without effort, as if her body was nothing more than so many cherry blossoms caught on the wind. Demure Carp Feint adds +1 to the martial artist's Evasion, or adds one success on a roll to disengage. If the martial artist's Appearance is higher than the Resolve of her attacker, or of all enemies she is disengaging from, this increases to +2. Successfully defending against or disengaging from an enemy whose Resolve is beaten by the martial artist's Appearance grants her a point of Initiative, as her provocative elegance and sinuous grace gain her an improved footing.

Mastery: When the martial artist gains Initiative with this Charm, her attacker loses a point of Initiative as well. When disengaging, all enemies whose Resolve is beaten lose the point of Initiative (although this does not increase the amount the martial artist receives).
