Radiant Master of War Style
Overview
Developed during the Primordial War by a powerful Solar warlord, the Radiant Master of War style only ever knew Solar and Lunar masters. The secrets of this style were never revealed, and attempts to decipher its ways confounded even the Chosen of Mars. Some ancient Sidereal texts lament over this, as it incorporated features that no known Sidereal Martial Art has ever quite surpassed.
At its core, this Style requires an understanding of mortal training regimens that most other Exalted simply cannot hope to grasp - Tiger Warrior Training Technique or Wolf Pack Training Technique is a prerequisite for the initial Charms. It is therefore possible for a Moonshadow caste Abyssal to develop this style, though finding a tutor may prove difficult.
The Radiant Master of War stresses a combination of stealth, maneuverability, and coordination, particularly in or against large groups. Rather than focus on enhancing the abilities of the Martial Artist (though it does do that to some extent), its true focus is its ability to inspire those who follow it. As such, it requires minimum War and Presence values equal to the Martial Arts value of the Charm.
Weapons and Armor: This style's form weapon is a straight sword or daiklave, as well as a tower or target shield. Practitioners of this style are considered to be unarmed when making attacks with these weapons. It may be used in armor.
