Gunzosha Evocations
The following Evocations are possessed by all gunzosha armor.
Integrated Essence Musculature
Cost: 3m or 3i; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Withering-only
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: None
Gunzosha armor amplifies the strength of its wearer, giving her the strength of ten. She adds (Strength) dice on a Strength-based roll, or (Strength) to the raw damage of a withering attack. If she uses this Evocation to enhance a feat of strength, she adds +1 to her effective Strength to determine what feats she can attempt.
Internal Life-Support Systems
Cost: 1wp; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: One day
Prerequisites: None
Automated systems within gunzosha armor monitor the wearer’s health, deploying the armor’s integrated medical equipment as needed. The wearer adds an automatic success on rolls against poison and disease, triples the rate at which she heals damage naturally, and triples her effective Stamina for determining how long she can go without food, water, and air (Exalted, p. 232).
Kinetic Armor Reinforcement
Cost: 1m or 1i per success; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Perilous, Uniform
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: None
Infinitesimal fibers of the magical materials are woven throughout the gunzosha armor, reinforcing it against attack when charged with Essence. After a damage roll against the wearer, she can use this Evocation to subtract a number of successes up to the 1s on the damage roll, paying one mote or Initiative per success subtracted.
Mobility Augmentation System
Cost: 3m or 3i; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: None
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: None
Gunzosha armor propels its wearer’s every movement, allowing her to keep pace with the fastest of rival despite her armor’s weight. She adds an automatic success and ignores the armor’s mobility penalty on a rush, disengage, contested roll in a race, or a roll to accomplish a challenging climb, jump, or the like.
Sensory Augmentation Visor
Cost: 4m or 4i; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Uniform
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: None
The gunzosha armor’s visor provides drastically enhanced vision and integrated targeting systems. She ignores one point of penalty from visual obstruction, such as darkness or fog, on an action. If she enhances an attack roll or Awareness roll, she also adds two successes.
A wearer who is resonant with starmetal can invoke the following power:Quicksilver Host Mien (5m, 2i):
Asserting its identity, the armor supplements the Exalt’s power with its own wild, adaptable character. The wearer may shift into this mien as a miscellaneous action. The armor becomes a skintight weave of compact rings like tiny scales — conforming flawlessly to the Exalt’s body — and loses its mobility penalty. Its silver surface allows its wearer to glide between breezes, increasing her Evasion by 1. She may exit the mien as a miscellaneous action.
The white jade gauntlet and black jade gauntlet count as Fivefold Dragons' Grasp(Heirs to the shogunate, p.170), except for being almost five-thousand years older, House Ledaal not having a free attunement to the artifact, and one hand being composed of pure white jade, the other of pure black jade, and the adamant lens at the center of each palm being circled by all five jade colours.
