The Lunar can understand in general terms what is being said in a language he does not know, although in general terms. The Lunar rolls Wits+Linguistics, with the number of successes indicating the level of comprehension. One success allows him to get the general gist of what is being said, while three successes allow for solid comprehension, and five successes allow the Lunar to discern nuances in what is being said. The Lunar is able to understand physical communication just as easily, able to see people trading glances across a room and divine their meaning. This allows the Lunar to understand animals as well as more sentient creatures. | The Lunar can understand in general terms what is being said in a language he does not know, although in general terms.

This Charm briefly renders the Lunar's mind no more complicated than that of a simple, unenhanced animal, though always a predator. Losing all capacity for language and higher cognition temporarily protects the character perfectly against all forms of mental influence. Once the character's intelligence returns, she remembers what was said or shown, but the argument has become impotent. The Lunar is unable to communicate or take any action requiring higher thought during the turns this Charm persists. | This Charm briefly renders the Lunar's mind no more complicated than that of a simple, unenhanced animal, though always a predator.
