The first section is basically my take on Exalted. Right now I'm just copying up my notes so everything's very raw while I put down my ideas. I'll work on editing everything and making it more coherent later. As a result things will contradict the in game canon and even be self contradictory especially since not all my notes are copied in chronological order. They've been typed up without editing to remain as close as possible to my original vision.

Chakra Violating Blow

    As they have lost the last dot of a Virtue that is a defining part of their soul they can never do anything associated with that Virtue. Those without Valour cannot face danger, without Conviction they cannot stand for their own beliefs, without Temperance they cannot repress their urges, without Compassion they can never help other except purely to serve their own ends.
   Roll Martial Arts + Essence adding a number of automatic successes equal to their Avatar, comparing against the target's Dodge MDV plus their targeted Virtue (doubled if it's their Primary Virtue.) If the roll succeeds the target loses all points in that Virtue and all related Virtue channels. Furthermore, if they suffer an internal penalty equal to what their Virtue used to be, or an external penalty if their Primary Virtue was destroyed. If the combined penalty exceeds the character's Willpower they slip into a coma.
   The effects of Chakra Violating Blow are permanent. It is impossible for anyone to heal someone affected without the use or Charms or healing artefacts. To heal someone they must spend a Willpower point and make an Intelligence + Medicine roll at a difficulty of the attacking character's Essence at the time the Charm was used with an internal penalty of what the character's Virtue was (or an external penalty in the case of a Primary Virtue.) The roll must score more threshold successes than the attacker's Avatar rating to overcome the consuming effects. A healer can only return someone's lost Virtue to a rating equalling their own. Returning someone's spiritual state to a level higher than their awareness is beyond their capability. When someone is healed they immediately enter Limit Break and suffer a Flaw for the related Virtue. This Flaw ends after the proscribed time. It is impossible for them to exert partial control and they gain no Willpower bonu for entering Limit Break.
