== Lunar Pack Tactics Charms ==

Pillar of the Wyld Pack 
Cost: None 
Duration: Permanent 
Type: Simple 
Minimum Wits: 3 
Minimum Essence: 3 
Prerequisite Charms: Brotherhood of Lake and River 

A Lunar pack is a fearsome thing, for every Lunar can call upon the 
strength of his packmates to increase his own might. However, every 
group has a central pilllar; a Lunar who wishes to become the supporting 
strength of his pack often learns charms such as this. 

Once learned, all Charms activated to give bonuses to one's packmates 
have their Essence cost reduced by the Pillar's Permanent Essence, 
though not to be reduced below 1. 

This charm may be bought a number of times equal to the Lunar's 
Permanent Essence (giving an additional essence break of the Pillar's 
Permanent Essence each time; a Lunar that buys this charm 3 
times will reduce the cost of charms affecting his pack by 3 times his 
P.E., not to be reduced below 1.) 

Fallen Brother's Avenger 
Cost: None 
Duration: Permanent 
Type: Simple 
Minimum Wits: 5 
Minimum Essence: 3 
Prerequisite Charms: Pillar of the Wyld Pack 

For a Lunar as intimately tied to his packmates as the Pillar, the loss of 
a packmate is an unbearable pain - one searing to the soul and shattering 
to the psyche. There is nothing that can soothe this loss, but one thing 
allows it to be coped with - vicious and merciless vengeance. 

If a packmate is wounded while fighting in the Pillar's presence, the Pillar 
gains a dice bonus equal to the packmate's wound penalty. If the packmate 
is incapacitated (with bashing damage), the wound penalty is considered -5. If 
the packmate dies, the Lunar gets +2 to all physical attributes, four -1 health 
levels, and four -2 health levels until the next moon (of the Lunar's caste) or 
until the packmate is avenged, whichever comes first (but no less than one 
scene.) Multiple fallen packmates cause these effects to become cumulative. 

If the bonuses of this charm fade before the packmate is avenged, the Lunar 
permanently loses one willpower. 

Summoning the Wyld Frenzy 
Cost: 2 motes, +2/wolf-sibling 
Duration: One Scene 
Type: Simple 
Minimum Charisma: 3 
Minimum Essence: 2 
Prerequisite Charms: Blood-Singing Instincts, and 
either Sinuous Striking Grace or Striking Mospid Method 

Upon activation, the Lunar pays 3 motes, plus 2 for every packmate. For 
the remainder of the scene (this essence is committed), all packmates 
gain the charm activator's Permanent Essence as a bonus to their initiative scores. 

The charm user himself does not gain this bonus unless he spends an 
additional 2 motes (above and beyond the 2 motes +2/sibling activation cost.) 

Call of Blood and Terror 
Cost: 2 motes/die, +2m/pack member 
Duration:One turn 
Type: Simple 
Minimum Charisma: 3 
Minimum Essence: 2 
Prerequisite Charms:Blood-Singing Instincts, and 
either Sensing the Deadly Flow or Tyrant Lizard Strike 

Once activated, every pack member gains an additional die on all attacks 
made for the remainder of the turn. Bonus dice are capped at the lowest 
Permanent Essence or lowest Dexterity in the pack, whichever is lower - 
however, these bonus dice do not count towards the usual dice bonus cap 
of Dexterity; these dice are in addition to any other bonus dice. 

Multiple uses of this charm (if activated by various pack members) are 
cumulative, but the total is still capped at the lowest Essence/Dex (if the 
lowest Ess/Dex score in the pack is 2, then one pack member may 
activate this charm for 2 dice, or two pack members can activate it for 
one die each - but if they both activate it for two dice, then the total bonus 
to the pack is still only 2 dice.) 

Ravenous Flurry 
Cost: 3 motes/die, +2m/pack member 
Duration:One scene 
Type: Simple 
Minimum Charisma: 5 
Minimum Essence: 3 
Prerequisite Charms: Call of Blood and Terror 

This charm grants a bonus die to all attacks made by all pack members 
for the remainder of the scene. Bonus dice are capped at the lowest 
Permanent Essence or lowest Dexterity in the pack, whichever is higher. 
However, these bonus dice do not count towards the usual dice bonus cap 
of Dexterity; these dice are in addition to any other bonus dice. 

Multiple uses of this charm (if activated by various pack members) are 
cumulative, but the total is still capped at the lowest Essence/Dex (if the 
lowest Ess/Dex score in the pack is 2, then one pack member may 
activate this charm for 2 dice, or two pack members can activate it for 
one die each - but if they both activate it for two dice, then the total bonus 
to the pack is still only 2 dice.) 

Siege-Shattering Summons 
Cost: 5 motes 
Duration: One round 
Type: Reflexive 
Minimum Charisma: 4 
Minimum Essence: 3 
Prerequisite Charms:Unspeaking Aura of Dread 

The Lunar lets out a fierce battle cry, summoning to him all 
opponents within hearing distance - all opponents must immediately 
roll Willpower against a difficulty of the Lunar's Charisma. Those that 
succeed are at +1 difficulty to all actions for the remainder of the 
round; those that fail must focus on attacking the Lunar for that round (or, 
if they are not in attacking range, must focus on reaching him.) They 
cannot attack anyone else or take any other actions that round; they may 
dodge attacks (so long as they still devote an action towards approaching 
the Lunar in the most expedient manner available to them), but do so at +1 
difficulty. 

One-Man Legion 
Cost: None 
Duration:Permanent 
Type: Simple 
Minimum Wits: 4 
Minimum Essence: 3 
Prerequisite Charms: Brotherhood of Lake and River 

When in any concerted action with one's packmates (this may be battle; it may 
also be a group attempt at persuading a single diplomat, or what have you) the 
pack may create a "success pool." Whenever a packmate attempts an action 
in an attempt at achieving the group goal, he may set aside some of his successes 
into a communal pool. Other packmates (who must also have this charm) may 
draw upon these successes themselves; this may be useful for gathering up a 
huge amount of successes, but as the total amount of successes remain the 
same regardless, it is most useful in protecting packmates from botches and 
failures, by allowing them to grab at a success here and there. 

The success pool may never be greater than the sum of all of the packmate's 
Wits scores, and a packmember may never contribute or withdraw more 
successes in a single round than his Wits score. 

More than one success pool may be created, but successes are not transferrable 
between different types of actions - there may be a Damage Success Pool and an 
Attack Roll Success Pool, but successes from the Damage pool can not be used 
to aid in Attack rolls, and vice versa. 

Pools may only be created for immediate goals - convincing this diplomat, defeating 
that foe, etc. - they may not be stored for goals as nebulous and far-reaching as 
"toppling the Imperial Dynasty."
