Crane Style

(10 Charms)

Fluttering Cry of Warning (1m, removes unexpected quality from an attack as long as the target has not made a physical attack)

Empowering Justice Redirection (3m, adds successes rolled on an attack to the artist's next attack against that person, that attack's damage becomes bashing and cannot spill over into lethal, reactivation resets)

Crane Form (6m, +1 PDV if wearing clothing with long flowing sleeves, all attacks have Reach, doubles dice bonus from MA-based stunts, all damage is limited to non-spilling bashing, exerts no effective weight and succeeds on all balance-related athletics checks)

Humbling Enlightenment Commentary (may use social descriptions to stunt unarmed attacks)

Kindly Sifu's Quill (do not need to spend WP to channel Compassion to enhance unarmed attacks/parries, adds compassion to attack damage if Crane Form is active)

Crossed Wings Denial (0m applicability-trumping perfect parry, cumulative cost increase of +1m each time used in a scene, prevents the artist from making attacks on her next action [but not counterattacks])

Feather-Stirred Arrow Deflection (4m counterattack in response to any ranged attack with a solid projectile, catches the projectile and hurls it back at any target no farther than distance between original attacker and artist, if successful automatically disarms and knocks opponent's weapon 5m away)

Beak Spears Frog (4m 1wp scenelong, may respond to any physical attack with a counterattack as long as opponent is within reach, attacks suffer from multiple action penalty of original attacker)

Wings Spread To Sky (6m action-long, glide up to [MA x 5] yards in any direction, may defy gravity, can use to break a flurry, glide another [MA x 5] yards when the charm ends, which may double successes to determine raw damage for the first attack in a flurry)

Raising the Cobra's Hood (4m Indefinite, Manipulation + MA attack vs. Dodge MDV of an opponent within 20m, adds Presence/2 automatic successes, victim may add half of MA or Presence, round down to their MDV. If successful, target is rendered Inactive as if in a clinch, and suffocates, breaking paralysis by spending 1wp adds a 5m surcharge to next charm activation)

False Crane Posture (4m ticklong, -3 to Dodge DV, jumping distance is doubled, adds +Essence to damage to an attack made with a jump, each attack dodged without using a charm with a FoI adds a reflexive perfect dodge which trumps applicability but fails when used in the presence of a positive intimacy)

Dread Scale Fascination (5m 1wp Scenelong, creates (Essence) shimmers with (half dodge DV, min 5) -0 HLs, which absorb damage from attacks. Any damage destroys a shimmer, if the character is unharmed by an attack which destroys a shimmer it counts as successfully dodged for False Crane Posture, AoE attacks damage all shimmers simultaneously, FoI charms remove 1/3/5 shimmers for instant/tick/action long charms)
