The nature of the Lawgivers is to move and act without limits. This charm enhances the Solar's natural abilities, allowing the Exalt to ignore penalties to her DDV that result from external environmental or situational conditions, including clinches
COMMENTS: This Charm appears to permanently allow a Solar to use her Dodge DV against any attack, including attacks that render her Dodge DV inapplicable, and including situations when her dodge DV would be inapplicable or penalized. This power doesn't seem all that bad at first, but it really is quite broken. After all, it means the Solar cannot be restrained to the point where he cannot dodge- even full body paralysis and being totally immobilized aren't enough to keep the Solar from somehow slipping out of the way with his full Dodge DV. Only undodgeable attacks and internal penalties could affect the Solar's DDV.
Personally, I think this Charm would be better if it were a 3m Reflexive Charm with a Duration of Until Next Action, the Combo-OK Keyword, and the Charms Shadow Over Water as a prerequisite; it'd be a Dodge version of Bulwark Stance, allowing the Solar to use his full, unpenalized Dodge DV against any and all attacks for one action, though it would also note that the effects of inapplicability are not considered penalties on the Solar's Dodge DV. As it is right now, it's broken as all hell.

The Exalt's reflexes are in tune with the Essence of the world, and all is well. The Solar may subtract her Essence from penalties to her DDV resulting from onslaught and coordinated attacks. Additionally, this charm permanently enhances the effects of Reflex Sidestep Technique, allowing it to be activated as a reflexive, non-charm action which can be used with other charms without being part of a combo.
