Snake Style
The Charm cascade beginning with Striking Cobra Technique comprises the Snake Style of Martial Arts. The "form weapons" for Snake Style are hook swords and the seven-section staff. Snake Style Charms treat attacks and blocks with these weapons as unarmed attacks and blocks. This includes the artifact versions of these weapons, such as serpent-sting staves.
Snake Style is a Celestial Martial Arts style. Solar, Lunar, Abyssal and Sidereal Exalts, as well as Dragon-Blooded initiated into the fighting styles of the Immaculate Order, can learn it. It is a style traditionally practiced by the Solar Exalted, so only Solar Exalted can learn this style without a teacher.
One may not wear armor and practice Snake Style.
