=== Attack Enhancement Charms ===

 Wind-Wings Carry Technique 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: any Strength Excellency

Little escapes the Steward's reach. For each mote spent on this charm the attack 
increases its range, at each increment, by a factor (1 + motes spent). This attack 
becomes obvious when used on close combat attacks as essence moves where the body 
cannot. Base range for such attacks is 1 yard. Even one activation allows use of 
medium and long ranges for close attacks.

 Agitation of the Swarm 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: any Strength Excellency

Lunar Exalted know how to disrupt their opponent's calm and unbalance their stances. 
Every strike supplemented by this charm causes a -2 penalty to defense instead of -1. 
Every strike supplmented with this charm that causes damage leaves a -1 penalty to 
target's defense for rest of scene

 Ferocious Biting Tooth 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: any Strength Excellency

The Lunar imbues such strength into his blow that it becomes harder to shift it from its 
path. When facing an attack using this charm a defense based on parrying is reduced by 
the Steward's Strength score. This charm can also be purchased with Dexterity, allowing 
standard or athletics based defenses to be reduced by Lunar's dexterity. When lunar has 
strength and dexterity at four than both version apply to charm activation. A target can 
realize why their defense is weakening and try a different style if available.

 Lightning Stroke Attack 
Cost: 2m Mins: Strength 5, Essence 3 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: Agitation of the Swarm, Ferocious Biting Tooth

Also available as dexterity charm, this charm allows an attack to ignore all non-perfect 
defense.

 Claws of the Silver Moon 
Cost: 1m, 1wp Mins: Strength 3, Essence 1 Type: Simple 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Gift, Obvious 
Duration: scene Prerequisites: none

Channeling a nimbus of silver into her hands a Lunar endows them with silver claws. This 
makes attacks with natural weapons do lethal damage. It also adds strength as an equipment 
bonus to the Steward's attack. This stacks with any bonus that might exist from shifting to 
a clawed animal. When a character reaches essence two they may choose to use dexterity as a 
bonus instead of strength. At essence 3 the Lunar also gains the 9-again rule on their attack.
When activated as a gift this charm requires committing one mote when assuming a shape. This 
ties the claws to the shape, so the bonus is lost if you shift again.

=== Crippling Charms ===

 Foe Marking Style 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 3, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: any Strength Excellency

Foe-marking style supplements an attempt to inflict a scar on another. Wounds caused by 
this charm leave a scar when healed, even with supernatural healers, like exalted, vampires 
and werewolves. To remove the scar takes magic of a level capable of restoring missing limbs 
or truly crippling ailments.

 Prey Hobbling Bite 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK, crippling, stackable 
Duration: (strength) actions Prerequisites: any Strength Excellency

Through judicious placement of wounds the Lunar insures that the enemy can't escape him. 
Every Health level of damage dealt with this attack reduces target's speed and jumping dice 
pool by two. The effects of multiple attacks stack, but wear off quickly.

 Inviting the Winter Wolf 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 5, Essence 3 Type: Simple 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Crippling, Obvious, Stackable 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: Prey Hobbling Bite

Lunar Exalted can cast down their enemies and insure they cannot recover. In a single 
Essence drive blow, the Steward breaks or severs some part of the victim, as long as they 
gain even one level of damage they can render a body part unusable. Targeting a specific 
body part requires a called shot as normal. If the Lunar also know Foe-Marking Style, they 
may spend a Willpower point with this charm, thus making the crippling body part as hard to 
heal as those scars are.

Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fury-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: any Strength Excellency

charm and may purchase more, for two experience points each. The lunar may activate Essence - 1 
number of edges, or one edge multiple times, each costing one mote. When used with a Fury the

edge with this charm, even at Essence 1. A starting Character may use merit dots to start with 
extra edges.

Cost: 2m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 2 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: Impressions of Strength

Lunar strength does not succumb to meager problems, it rolls over them. The Steward may supplement 
any strength action, or any attack, with the rote action, meaning they can re-roll any dice that fail, 
while keeping the successes.

 Unstoppable Lunar Strength 
Cost: 1m Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1 Type: Supplemental 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fury-OK 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: Impressions of Strength

Lunars refuse to allow anything to stop their strength. When penalties reduce a strength action to 
a chance die, the Lunar may activate this charm to roll one normal die. Charms combo'd with this 
may than add onto this one die, such as strength excellencies, or the die added by Relentless Lunar 
fury. However claws of the silver moon won't since its bonus would already be in the calculation of 
your die pool before penalty reached zero. When part of a fury this charm benefits all strength actions.

 Form Destroying Touch 
Cost: 3m, 1wp Mins: Strength 5, Essence 3 Type: Simple 
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious,sickness,touch 
Duration: Instant Prerequisites: Unstoppable Lunar Strength, Shell Crushing Atemi

The Lunar Exalted carry the spark of the Wyld within them, and some learn to channel it. Using 
this charm requires a touch, which may require a Dexterity + Brawl touch attack. Once touched 
the Lunar rolls Strength + Essence versus target's Stamina + Essence. If they fail the target 
still suffers an aggravated wound as wyld energies course through them, the alternative is much 
worse.

On a success the target is stricken with a supernatural sickness that triggers after 24 hours, and 
then once every 24 hours until, it is cured or manages to kill its victim. Every 24 hours the target 
rolls Resolve + (Composure or Stamina) + Essence and must achieve a number of successes equal to the 
Lunar's Essence Score. Every time they fail they gain a pox(one point mutation) and an aggravated 
level of damage. Poxes are random and some can stack into afflictions and Blights. Eventually, if 
the damage doesn't kill them, they become too mutated to survive in creation. However if they survive 
a lunar cycle (28 rolls) the sickness fades (but leaves any mutations and damage it inflicted.) 
Attempts to cure this illness must be supernatural and suffer at least the Lunar's Essence score as a 
dice penalty. Fleeing to a wyld zone cancels the aggravated damage but not the mutations.
