Editing Campaign:Conquering Of Canals/Arbiter Dawn (section)

== Charms ==
MEDITATION ON THE ENEMY
Cost: 3m; Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-Basic
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: None
Old is the tradition of, “Know thy enemy,” and important
for those who would pass judgment. This Charm grants a
Martial Arts specialty of one die against something the Arbiter
has set herself to judge. The motes must be committed
in the presence of that thing—be it a person, a group, or an
idea—and so long as they’re committed, the specialty remains.
It acts in all ways like a normal specialty dot.
While Meditation on the Enemy is active, the martial
artist may spend experience to learn the specialty dot, with
training times reduced as if she had a tutor. Buying a dot in
this fashion ends the Charm. If she ever succeeds in utterly
eliminating her enemy, though, the character will gain the
experience back.

MEDITATION ON THE HEART
Cost: 2m per die; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Meditation on the Enemy
The Arbiter summons all of her devotion and belief into
a single act of power. This Charm supplements any action
for which the character channels through one of her Virtues.
Dice gained through the channeling may be converted into
successes at a cost of two motes per die.

THE PATH OF THE ARBITER FORM
Cost: 5m+; Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Form-type, Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Meditation on the Heart
The character’s inner radiance bulwarks her aura, and
her passion shows itself in every line in her face, filling her
gaze with fire. This Charm notifies Fate of the Arbiter’s current
status and intentions, and thereby entirely negates the
possibility of collateral damage through any accident of the
character’s actions or anima (should it become relevant, this
should be treated as a perfect defense against anything that
could make the character cause unintended harm). It also
adds her Martial Arts to the relevant pool for the purposes
of calculating her Mental Defense Value.
Self-sacrifice is a integral part of true dedication. A
character using the Path of the Arbiter Form may, at any
time, reflexively sacrifice as many aggravated health levels
as she wishes in order to instantly gain an equal number of
Willpower points. This effect cannot raise her temporary
Willpower pool above her permanent Willpower.
Finally, as the martial artist completes her initial
posture, this Charm gathers the spiritual equipment
gained through the Charms Forging the Soul-Born Sword
and Forging the Armor of Integrity (see below). Once
she finishes activating the Path of the Arbiter Form,
she may choose to summon either or both of these items
immediately and reflexively, for 5 additional motes each
and 1 Willpower point.
This Form can be activated from horseback.

STUDY OF DEEPEST DEVOTION
Cost: 4m, 1wp; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 2;
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: The Path of the Arbiter Form
Fortified by the certainty that she is in the right, the
martial artist draws even more validation from her own
greatness. For the remainder of the scene, when she performs
Martial Arts stunts, they count as one level higher only
for the purposes of regaining Essence or Willpower. This
Charm may only be used when the character is fighting for
an Intimacy or her Motivation.

SECRET OF BRIGHT-BURNING PASSION
Cost: 3m; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: The Path of the Arbiter Form
When it is truly necessary, the character has learned that
she can put forth absolutely everything she has to give—and
more. This Charm can be used to supplement any action,
including reflexive actions such as resisting mental influence.
When she spends the motes, the Arbiter may also spend up to
three Willpower points at once (five if the relevant action is
intended to further her Motivation). Only one of these may
be used to channel through a Virtue—the rest must be spent
on automatic successes or in some other normally allowable
way, so long as they are all spent on a single action.
The Willpower spent through this Charm must be recovered
normally. Secret of Bright-Burning Passion cannot
be used to let characters spend Willpower on rolls that don’t
allow for its expenditure, such as damage.

FORGING THE SOUL-BORN SWORD
Cost: —; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
Type: Permanent, affects Form
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Study of Deepest Devotion, Secret of
Bright-Burning Passion
Bravery is one of the Arbiter’s great advantages, and
with this Charm, she can call forth a weapon of righteous
fury directly from her own strength. With a cry, she executes
a kata as though she were wielding it, and as she comes
around, the weapon is in her hands. Arbiters call this the
Soul-Born Sword, but in practice, it takes the form of a custom
artifact version of the character’s Path of the Arbiter Style
signature weapon—save that it appears to be made entirely
of eye-searing light.
The player should design whatever artifact weapon she
feels is best for her Arbiter, as long as its effective level is
no higher than half the character’s Valor, rounded up. The
weapon requires no commitment and its effective magical
material bonuses are those of jade. Players and Storytellers
are encouraged to keep in mind that the character has
no conscious control over the way her Soul-Born Sword
manifests—it is a direct expression of her deepest emotions
and ideals.
The martial artist cannot reforge her Soul-Born Sword
unless her Valor score changes enough to change its effective
rating, at which point the player may—if she wishes—entirely
redesign the weapon from the ground up (as long as it
remains the same type, of course). After it has been forged,
the weapon shimmers and disappears Elsewhere, ready to be
drawn through the use of the Path of the Arbiter Form.

FORGING THE ARMOR OF INTEGRITY
Cost: —; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
Type: Permanent, affects Form
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Study of Deepest Devotion, Secret of
Bright-Burning Passion
The undaunted Arbiter can defend herself solely with
honor, just as she can strike with only her courage to aid her.
Similarly to Forging the Soul-Born Sword, she creates a suit
of armor that vanishes Elsewhere, to be recalled by the Path
of the Arbiter Form. The player should design artifact armor
for her character, with a maximum effective rating equal to
half her Temperance, rounded up. The armor requires no
commitment, and its effective magical material bonuses are
those of jade.
The Armor of Integrity seems made of blazing light of
the same hue as the Arbiter’s Soul-Born Sword. It always
bears the Arbiter’s personal emblem, and it may also display
the crest of a person or cause she has sworn to follow. As
with Forging the Soul-Born Sword, the armor is a manifestation
of deep-rooted personality traits. Its powers cannot
be consciously controlled by the character, and it will keep
the same form unless her Temperance score shifts enough
to change its effective Artifact rating, at which point, the
player can redesign it.

FORGING THE BOND OF FELLOWSHIP
Cost: —; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
Type: Permanent, affects Form
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Study of Deepest Devotion, Secret of
Bright-Burning Passion
Her heart yearning for a true companion to share her
dangers and triumphs, the Arbiter sends out a mental and
emotional call. Unlike her Soul-Born Sword and Armor of
Integrity, the mount summoned by this Charm is a living
creature; it does not go Elsewhere when the character doesn’t
need it, and its substance isn’t spiritual. The mount is, in all
ways, a normal Familiar with a dot rating equal to half the
character’s Compassion, rounded up.
If the Arbiter already has a mount, she may choose to
either make it into a Familiar or, if it’s already a Familiar, to
improve its rating up to the new one. She may also decide
to bring forth another one—in this way, the character can
end up with more than one Familiar.
Although she does not have to, if the martial artist’s
mount dies, she may use this Charm again to call a new
one. If the character’s Compassion score shifts enough to
change the Familiar’s rating, then the Familiar may gain
(or lose) whichever capabilities the character’s player thinks
appropriate.

MEDITATION ON JUDGMENT
Cost: 2m, 2wp, 1ahl; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3; Type:
Simple
Keywords: Combo-Basic, Obvious
Duration: Until discharged
Prerequisite Charms: Forging the Soul-Born Sword, Forging
the Armor of Integrity, Forging the Bond of Fellowship
The Arbiter names her enemy’s crimes and proclaims
judgment. In her mercy, she gives the target one last chance
to surrender, repent and do penance. This proclamation is
a social attack with a speed of 5 ticks; it must be heard and
understood, and may only exert Natural Mental Influence
on the target. The character’s foe is aware that the Arbiter’s
burning will is empowering her words, and that his fate now
depends on his choice. He has until the martial artist’s next
action to decide, and if he tarries longer, then he will have
chosen not to surrender.
If the Arbiter’s enemy verbally surrenders to her and
takes no offensive actions against her, then the martial
artist is considered bound not to intentionally harm him as
if an Eclipse Caste with an Essence score of 1 had used the
Eclipse anima power to ensure it. Moreover, if the enemy’s
Essence is equal to or lower than the Arbiter’s Essence, then
he, too, is bound: He is similarly sealed into a bargain not
to attack the martial artist and to mend his ways and cease
the crimes with which the Arbiter has charged him. If he
breaks his oath, then the effect keeping the Arbiter from
harming him dissolves.
Regardless of what happens, so long as the Arbiter is
not bound against assaulting the target, her next Martial
Arts attack against him is empowered by her judgment.
Whether the Arbiter next attacks the target of this Charm
on the following action or in the following century, so long
as she has kept the motes committed to this Charm, then
the total external penalty on her attack roll (including any
applicable DVs) will be reduced by her (Essence + Destiny).
Furthermore, the strike cuts through every shred of positive
fate surrounding him, doing aggravated damage.
No matter how long it has been since the Meditation
on Judgment was first invoked, the magical nature of this
terrible blow will be Obvious. A character who decommits
the Essence to this Charm will not be disempowering the
bindings on either herself or her opponent; she will merely be
letting go of the power that would otherwise have enhanced
her next attack.
