The enemies of Creation learn to fear the wrath of the White Reaper. This charm is a Martial Arts attack which creates a holy Environmental Effect with an area of effect equal to the Exalt's Essence x 5 yards. The martial artist rolls Dexterity + Martial Arts as normal, adding his Essence as automatic successes to the roll. The successes on this roll are added to a base damage of 3A to determine the damage of the environmental effect, which is applied each tick until the martial artist's next action. Only perfect effects and dodge charms which move a target out of the area of effect can defend against this damage.
If multiple White Reaper stylists concentrate their use of this charm as a coordinated attack on a single area, its radius increases to (highest permanent Essence x 5) + (total of all other permanent Essence) in yards, and adds 1 to the damage for each additional practitioner using this charm.
When White Reaper form is activated, this charm may be activated as a miscellaneous, non-charm action, dealing its damage for 5 ticks before fading.

The White Reaper must often face opponents whose hides are like adamant, and even they will fall.

Duration: Instant
Minimum Martial Arts: 5

Prerequisites: Hide-Crushing Blow
Even the most invincible foes feel the bite of the White Reaver's blows. When this charm is activated, the martial artist makes a Martial Arts attack against their target. Instead of doing damage, this attack reduces the target's soak by 1L and 1B per success. Mortal armor and magitech armor is permanently damaged until repaired, while normal artifact armor restores this loss at a rate of 1 level each per day. Lost natural soak heals as lethal damage. Additionally, every two successes reduces the hardness of artifact and magitech armours by -1B/-1L.
When White Reaper Form is activated, this charm may be activated as a reflexive, non-charm action applied to an attack as part of a flurry.
Grim Reaper Attack
Cost: 4m
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Knockdown, Knockback
Duration: Instant
Minimum Martial Arts: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisites: Gaia's Wrath Invocation, Carapace-Shattering Atemi
The might of the White Reaper is truly formidable. This charm is a Martial Arts attack made using Dexterity + Martial Arts. It is applied to all targets within its area of effect separately, but only rolled once. Damage is determined normally. The attack has two possible areas of effect, chosen when the charm is used. The first is a radius effect extending out to the martial artist's Essence in yards. Targets clinching the martial artist when this version is used are immediately knocked back a number of yards equal to the martial artist's (Strength + Essence), immediately ending the clinch. Anyone else in the radius may dodge or parry normally, but must still check for knockdown and knockback at a difficulty equal to the martial artist's Essence if they parry or the attack is successful against them.
The second area of effect is a ranged attack, extending outward to the martial artist's (Essence x 5) yards in any single direction, and affecting all targets in that area. As with the radius effect, all targets must check for knockback and knockdown as above if they parry or the attack is successful against them. Additionally, the concentrated force of this blow causes its extra successes to be applied as automatic levels of damage against the weapon of anyone who parries the attack, and the attack cannot be parried unarmed without charms or stunts.
If White Reaper Form is active, this charm can be activated as a miscellaneous, non-charm action.
