Deadly Beastman Transformation

The Lunar takes a shapeshifting action, paying an extra Willpower, and transforms into a ferocious battle form that is half man and half his true animal form. He adds one to the raw damage of all Withering attacks he makes, his combat movement pool, and his soak. He reduces the minimum Strength for any Feat of Strength by (his Strength/2, round down), and he gains (his Strength/2, round down) bonus dice to all Feats of Strength.

Wind-Wings Carry Technique

The Lunar hurls himself at foes beyond his reach, throwing quills or claws, twisting a limb to impossible distance, or simply striking with raw force. For four motes, he may increase the range of a single attack (which may be a normally close-range attack, such as a punch) by one range band, to a maximum of Medium range. An attack at Medium range or longer requires an Aim action, as normal.

With a Strength 3+, Essence 2+ repurchase, he may instead pay eight motes to increase the range of an attack by two range bands, to a maximum of Long range.

Morph: By invoking a form that would extend the range of his strike, the Lunar may grant this Charm the Quickshot keyword.

Prey-Hobbling Bite

The Lunar snaps at his foe’s limbs, leaving him stumbling and off balance. This Charm enhances a Withering attack, which may be made with any Attribute. For every success on the Lunar’s damage roll, the target also loses one die from any Rush or Disengage actions he attempts on his next action.

Inviting the Winter Wolf

The Lunar savages a weakened foe. On Crashing an enemy, he may activate this Charm to immediately attack the same enemy a second time.

Foot-Trapping Counter

As an enemy tries to withdraw, the Lunar ensnares her in a flexible limb, hindering her retreat. This Charm enhances any roll contesting a Disengage action; for every 10 the Lunar rolls, his enemy must pay one additional point of Initiative to escape. If she cannot or will not pay this additional cost, the Disengage action fails automatically. This Charm may not be used to contest Disengage actions that are automatically successful.

Monkey Arm Style

The Lunar’s body gains an eerie flexibility, stretching beyond what should be possible. In combat, this grants his natural attacks the Reach tag. Outside combat, the Lunar may stretch a limb up to (Essence + 1) times its normal length – for instance, to reach the keys to her cell without stepping outside it.

Thousand Claw Infliction

The Lunar’s limbs are as vast or slender as he needs them to be. For one attack, the Lunar may choose to have his natural weapons be Medium or Heavy weapons, instead of Light.

Morph: Invoking a suitably massive form, the Lunar ignores the mote cost of this Charm.

Graceful Crane Stance

The Lunar may balance on even the thinnest of supports with no fear of falling. With this Charm active,
footing as thin as a twig or clothesline will support his weight, with no need to roll to maintain his balance.

Light-Footed Mountain Goat Stance

This Charm permanently upgrades its prerequisite (Graceful Crane Stance). For an additional two motes, the Lunar may ignore the penalty for Rushing or Disengaging in rough terrain for the rest of the scene.

Cloud-Walking Stance

The Lunar instinctually grasps the oddities of the Wyld; in a swirl of confusion, he finds all the solid
ground he needs. While in the Wyld, the Lunar may activate Graceful Crane Stance (and Light-Footed
Mountain Goat Stance, if he knows it) for 0 motes.

Emerald Grasshopper Form

The Lunar may take forms as small as a housefly.

Humble Mouse Form

The Lunar may take forms as small as a mouse.

Towering Beast Form

The Lunar may take forms as large as a yeddim or tyrant lizard.

Relentless Lunar Fury

Reaching deep within, the Lunar unleashes a primal rage that sets his blood to boiling and fills his vision with red. While Relentless Lunar Fury is active, the Lunar may ignore three points of wound penalties (stacking with other sources that would ignore wound penalties) and gains one die to all combat-related actions. He may still activate Charms or Evocations as normal, or make use of his skills at martial arts. To the predator-self, however, the niceties of civilization – including ideas like “manipulating complex objects," "“conversation,"" and "“noncombatants"" – are no more real than a dream.

This Charm ends automatically on the Lunar’s next action unless he makes a Decisive attack or spends 8+ motes on offensive Charms, in which case its duration is extended by one additional action. He may extend it any number of actions in this way, but the Charm still terminates immediately if he should be forced into Initiative Crash.

Rapid-Speech Technique

The Steward can fill his limbs with the blurring musculature of the cheetah – why could he not do the same for his lips and tongue? This Charm allows the Lunar to ignore the flurry penalty on a single social action.

False Burrow Pursuit

Luna’s Chosen are entrusted with the power of shaping – first, the power to shape themselves, but many Lunars learn to shape others as well. With this Charm, the Lunar twists the perception of another, wordlessly calling his attention to some sensory detail – a mark, a bent blade of grass, a waft of perfume, a particular kata in a swordfight. This effect is automatically successful; the target is guaranteed to notice the detail the Lunar has chosen. Optionally, the Lunar may make a Manipulation-based social influence roll, using an Ability appropriate for the detail to which he calls attention (Investigation for the blade of grass, Socialize for a verbal faux pas, Melee for the sword kata). If successful, the target becomes convinced that the detail is important, gaining a Minor Principle to that effect. The target may spend two Willpower to throw off this effect, though doing so does not reveal that the sensation is magically induced.

Treasure as Trash Misdirection

The Lunar causes one single object to appear as if it were a mundane equivalent: a daiklave is a sword, a hearthstone is a bauble, the Lunar’s tattoos are simply gaudy markings. Mundane senses cannot pierce the illusion; supernaturally enhanced senses must contend with the Lunar’s (Manipulation + Stealth) to detect the truth.

Perfection of the Mockingbird

This Charm supplements any single action in which the Lunar attempts to emulate another’s voice, habit, or appearance. For the duration of that action (which should last no more than a minute or two), the illusion is perfect – no mundane sense can detect a flaw. Against magical attempts to pierce the deception, the Lunar must rely on her normal skill at disguise and impersonation.

Hide of the Cunning Hunter

With a moment of concentration, the Lunar hides any tattoos, scars, or other distinguishing marks. This includes the Lunar’s moonsilver tattoos, but does not include the Tell. Such marks cannot be detected by mundane scrutiny; supernatural investigation must still contend with the Lunar’s (Appearance + Larceny).

Flaw-Finding Examination

The Lunar splays his hands over a mundane object, letting them mold into every crack and crevice. This intimate knowledge aids him in attempts to repair the object – or to destroy it. Roll (Perception + Craft). If the Lunar wishes to repair the object, the reconstruction takes no more than 25 hours, less one hour for each success on the roll; if it would already take less time than that, the duration of the repair is shortened by one hour per success, to a minimum of one hour. If he wishes to destroy the object, for each success he may reduce either the required successes on a Feat of Strength to destroy the object or the required Strength to attempt such a feat by one. He may divide his successes between these two options, but this instinctive knowledge fades at the end of the scene.
