On Supreme Martial Instinct

“I developed this Charm around the same time Holden came up with the concept for Dawn King’s Strife. This is a less impressive Charm than DKS, but it was important to me to include it to further demonstrate the principles of combat fusion. This Charm models the inherent interconnection of the five combat abilities, allowing the character to—if only for a few seconds—flow between interchangeable battle forms. It also serves as a good example of how the definition of the War ability is expanding to depict a comprehensive understanding of combat.” —Ø

“The price tag and short duration of Supreme Martial Instinct keeps Dawns from losing the signature feel and distinction of their Caste abilities while still enabling some pretty nasty tricks. Using your Archery skills to set up a coordinated attack or your Melee mastery to fight out of a clinch are my two favorites.” —H
