EXALTED • SOL INVICTUSwith a physical component (including boulders,hurled characters, and other unusual missiles) shenocks an arrow to her bow and makes a reflexiveDexterity + Archery roll. If she rolls even a singlesuccess, her arrow successfully deflects the attackaway from herself and towards a new target of herchoice. Immediately apply the attack against thenew target, using the Exalt’s Dexterity + Archeryroll as the attack roll. This technique can evenbe used against incoming missiles which are notstrictly attacks (for example, giant hailstones) orarea attacks; in the latter case, only the portion of theeffect targeting the Exalt is redirected. If this Charmis used against a missile enhanced with Reversal ofFortune Strike or any other counterattack Charm,the missile is harmlessly deflected on a successfulroll, rather than being redirected.LITHE ARCHER DISCIPLINECost: 5 motesDuration: InstantType: Independent ActionMinimum Archery: 5Minimum Essence: 3Prerequisite Charms: Shot Without DistanceExercise, Barrier-Breaching ArrowThrough intense practice with his chosenweapon, the Exalt has become deeply attuned tothe fundamental Essence flows of archery.
