The apex of Tiger style is nothing less than predation in its purest form. As the martial artist enters the Tiger Form, she may pay an additional five motes and a point of Willpower to unleash the Angry Predator Frenzy, roaring with bestial fury as she casts aside the restraints of humanity. Her muscles surge with newfound strength, while her eyes narrow to red slits of berserker rage. While in the Angry Predatory Frenzy, the martial artist may add up to (Strength) extra successes to the raw damage of decisive attacks, and gains a Defining Tie of savage hatred towards her enemies. In addition, she can rush as a reflexive action, in addition to her usual movement action for the turn. Conversely, while enraged, she cannot disengage or withdraw.

Terrestrial: A Dragon-Blood add may add up to (lower of Strength or Essence) extra successes to the raw damage of decisive attacks.

Mastery: Whenever the martial artist resets to base Initiative after making a decisive attack while in this rage, she adds (her Strength/2, round up) to her base Initiative. In addition, while her anima is at the bonfire level, it takes on a bestial or destructive form that lashes out and rends the animas of her enemies. Whenever she damages an enemy with a decisive attack while at bonfire, his anima fades by one level, ripped apart by the claws or destructive vortices of her totemic display of fury. {{Tiger Style Charms}}
