Okay, after looking over Solar Hero Style, I find it thematically close to what I've got in mind... but severely, severely lacking on the defense side of the equation.
... this bothers me mostly because we're talking about Solars, they do perfection. It confuses me why they wouldn't have a Perfect Unarmed Parry, or even an ability to enhance their parry with Martial Arts Charms. Perfection is like the whole Solar schtick, why don't they have anything defense related in their Hero Style? Or even a counterattack?! That seems perfectly in theme for the 'Proper application of Overwhelming power, grace, and speed' thing Solar Hero Style supposedly has...
Basically, it just bothers me, and I'd like to ask the ECR as a whole a couple questions:
A). Am I just being stupid? Is this seriously not a problem/there's an easy work around that I'm missing (aside from learning another Martial Arts style)?
B). Are there already good expansions on Solar Hero Style out there with this theme? This would make my life a lot easier.
C). Is it out of theme to give a Solar the ability to use a charm to pretty much block any attack with the palm of their hand?/Is the concept of a Perfect Unarmed Parry really not something a Solar would do?
D). If I go through with this, how would you suggest I go about it? What would be the basis of a tree that reaches to a Perfect Unarmed Parry in Solar Hero Style?
