'''Den Mother Method''' 
'''Cost: ''' 2 motes 
'''Duration: ''' Instant 
'''Type: ''' Reflexive 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 2 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 2 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' None 
Using his superhuman reflexes and their incredible rapport to all they pride as part of their society, be it pack or herd or hive or stranger still, a Lunar is able to move with speed faster than the eye, and stop any attempt to harm those he is responsible for! This charm allows the Lunar to parry any attack he is aware for any ally within his normal movement rating in yards. It grants a parry at the Lunar's full pool, and even if it does not fully deflect the attack, its successes aid the ally's own defense against the attack. With a ranged weapon, the Lunar can stop ranged attacks against others as well as he would stop them against himself.

'''Feline Guard Technique''' 
'''Cost: ''' 5 motes 
'''Duration: ''' Instant 
'''Type: ''' Reflexive 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 2 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 1 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' None 
Like a cat, the Lunar is always wary, always ready to respond to attack. By means of Feline Guard Technique the Lunar receives a Full Parry pool for the turn - just as if he had aborted his action to parry. This Full Parry action works independently from his normal action, including the use of the Lunar weapon's rate(which limits the number of attacks the Lunar may parry with his Full Parry pool, but does not interfere with the use of the Lunar's weapon rate in any other action during the turn). This Charm can only be used once per turn, and so, the Lunar cannot 'refresh' this pool, but he can reflexively buy extra rate, for defensive purposes only, at a cost of 1 mote per rate added. This may be done at any point on the turn this charm was activated With a ranged weapon, the Lunar can use his ranged ability, be it Archery or Thrown or even Martial Arts, to stop a projectile(but not a close combat attack) with one of his own. For this and all Charms that have Feline Guard Technique as a prerequisite, the Lunar may exchange his Dexterity for his Wits in his Parry attempts.

'''Crane and Snake Method''' 
'''Cost: ''' None 
'''Duration: ''' Permanent 
'''Type: ''' Special 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 4 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 4 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Feline Guard Technique, Den Mother Method 
Like the crane defending its nest against a snake, the Lunar's limbs move like the wings, always ready to stop any strike on those they protect! This Charm enhances Feline Guard Technique. The Lunar may use use his defenses to aid any ally within a number of yards equal to his Permanent Essence at no extra cost.

'''Silver Crane Instinct''' 
'''Cost: ''' 8 motes, 1 willpower 
'''Duration: ''' One Scene 
'''Type: ''' Simple 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 4 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 4 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Feline Guard Technique 
The Lunar takes the stance of a praying mantis, in reverence for the world they protect and ready to swiftly stop the movements of any who dare step any close to his perfect stance, pushing any threat away with a swath of its claws! For the remainder of the scene, the Lunar converts a number of dice equal to his Wits into automatic successes in any parry attempt.

'''White Tiger Block''' 
'''Cost: ''' 8 motes 
'''Duration: ''' Instant 
'''Type: ''' Reflexive 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 4 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Feline Guard Technique 
Surrounded by a corona of moonlight, the Lunar's limb moves swiftly to interpose itself in the path of any and all attacks, changing its length and density, twisting in impossible ways, able to move in the way of a knife and a falling boulder all the same. The Lunar rolls Wits+Combat Ability as a reflexive action. One success allows her a Perfect Parry against a single attack. Three successes allow this Parry to be used to defend a single being within her Permanent Essence in yards - or to protect the Lunar and all allies within this range against a single area attack.

'''Crouching Tiger Stance''' 
'''Cost: ''' 4 motes 
'''Duration: ''' Instant 
'''Type: ''' Reflexive 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 3 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Feline Guard Technique 
The Lunar is a crouched tiger, taking a low stance, ready for anything and everything that might come his way, prepared to cut through any he perceives as a threat as soon as they wish to strike. Until he next moves, the Lunar takes a crouched stance that subtracts two dice from any attacks against him, and allow him to launch an immediate counterattack against any attack he manages to successfully parry.

'''Furious Unhappy Recourse''' 
'''Cost: ''' 5 motes 
'''Duration: ''' Instant 
'''Type: ''' Reflexive 
'''Minimum Wits''' 4 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 3 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Crouching Tiger Stance 
Lunars, when under assault, tend to burst out of their foes' many blows, disorienting strikes stopping the foe and leaving him to wonder what just happenned. This Charm gives the Lunar a counterattack at his full dice pool. If the counterattack strikes the opponent successfully, he must roll Wits+Awareness with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Essence. even if it does no damage, his actions are interrupted. Be it by splitting his dice pool or a long chain of extra actions, it immediatly ends.

'''Lion in Wait Stance''' 
'''Cost: ''' 5 motes, 1 willpower 
'''Duration: ''' Instant 
'''Type: ''' Reflexive 
'''Minimum Wits: ''' 5 
'''Minimum Essence: ''' 4 
'''Prerequisite Charms: ''' Crouching Tiger Stance 
The Lunar is king of all hunters, and none may approach him unless he deems them worthy of doing so. Any fool who dares to approach his power and majesty without his consent is as good as dead, as the Lunar's stance will shift effortlessly to destroy him. In the turn this Charm is activated, the Lunar may not move more than his Valor in yards. However, the Lunar may make an automatic attack at his full offensive pool against anyone within his reach, or anyone foolish enough to approach this area during the turn. Those automatic attacks are considered counterattacks. The Lunar may instinctively react to and strike spirits during the turn this Charm is active.
