Lunar Limit Breaks are pretty uninteresing. They're more or less Solar
Limit breaks with animal themes, and all the other phatsplats get keen
new systems to demonstrate their particular flavor of the Great Curse,
and why not Lunars? So instead I offer this new system, based on the Exalt's Caste.

== In the Hands of the Elders ==

When examining the nature of their Exaltation, the top Elders of of what
would later become the Silver Pact became aware of "something" infecting
their Essence. It wasn't posing an immediate danger, and the Lunars as a
race were on their way to imploding under the effects of the Wyld, so instead
of cutting it out, they simply reworked it into the moral code they were
working on at the time, what we would now call the Silver Way. This would
provide Lunars with a Lunars who followed the Way were able to
keep their Limit in check. Lunars who did not would be more apt to
Break.

The Breakdown is as follows:

Full Moons go into Bestial Rages. Their conscious mind submerges
into their bestial souls, and they act like the predator they really
are. Depending on the totem animal of the Exalt, this sublimation takes
different forms. A great cat may stalk and kill something perceived as
prey, while a crocodile will lie still and wait for an unsuspecting
animal to draw near. Whatever the form, their behavior is almost invariably
violent.

Changing Moons have Uncontrolled Shapeshifting. They go into hiccups
that range their entire Shape Library. In essence, the Storyteller
gains control over the character's form for a while.

Lunar player: "I'm sneaking up on my mentor by hiding in a tree and I'm
going to prove my worth by jumping out of the tree and surprising him." 
Storyteller: *snap* "You're a Yeddim. The tree buckles and snaps under your
immense weight, nearly falling on your mentor, who glares at you angrily." 
Lunar player: "Crap. I'm going to turn into a cheetah and run away." 
Storyteller: "You're going to turn into a fish and flop around uselessly." 
Lunar player: "Can I get Inititive by flopping into his face?" 
Storyteller: "No." 
Lunar player: "I hate you." 

It's not quite that frustrating, but it does interfere with just about
anything the character tries to do at the time, and it *always* occurs
at the least convenient time. If you trust your players, they can assume
control over the process, and you can have a merry old time together.

Other variations on this include: Tetsuo-style mutations, turning into amalgams
of different animals/humans, using the Changing Moon anima ability at a really
inopportune time.

No Moons have Prophetic Trances. They go into these trance-states
where the TRUE MEANING of all happenstance becomes clear to them.
Portents, harbingers, and signs are everywhere. The good side of
this is that it's all true. The bad side is that there is so much of
it, they are easily distractable and can't really process it all.
Maybe they'll pull something out of it, but mostly they sit around
and say, "Whoah."

Variations on this include: hallucinations that interact with the character
(like Elvis in True Romance), spontaneously creating new spirits that know
the character's secrets, mirrors display scenes from the past/future/present.
