Hide

Stealthy Fox Instinct
Cost: 5 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Wits: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
Subtle changes in his body allow the Lunar to move with the grace of a fox, never missing a step, his stride silent due to his feet becoming padded, his weight alleviating, his form thin to better hide in shadows, the shadows themselves blurring and losing moonlight about them, as if it was a new moon.

When the character activates this Charm the player declares object that must be hidden - be the object hidden thing, person or fact. While this Charm is active he adds one success to all actions made towards hiding objects, increases his dice-adding limits to his Attribute+Essence and ignores all Fatigue penalties.

As long as this Charm is active the Lunar cannot perform actions not intent on obscuring an object. The Lunar may only perform such actions or stop his pursuit for one action by spending 1 willpower for every such action - and even then those are made at a -2 penalty. Ending this Charm before the end of the Scene requires a Willpower roll with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's own Temperance - this roll can only be attempted once for every (6-the Lunar's Essence, minimum 1) Turns.

This Charm is a Focus and is incompative with the activation of any other Focus-Type Charm.

Thieving Magpie Prana
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Wits: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
When nessessary, a Lunar can make an object disappear in an instant! Wherever it is hidden does not matter, or wether the Lunar uses movements faster than the eye can see, cunning or illusion, but the Lunar can, without error, hide an object in a single turn, instead of taking minutes to do so. This must be an object or person that can be hidden by normal means.

Cat Hides His Claws
Cost: 1 mote per object
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Wits: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Thieving Magpie Prana
The body of a Lunar can hold many things. With the barest shift, a collar can be held on a Lunar's stomach, and knives hidden in his arms. Swords in his torso and bags on his lungs. It is easy for Lunars to hide things within their body, and those pockets they make do not inconvenience them in the least. Cat Hides His Claws allows a Lunar to hold any one item within his frame, as long as it could conceivably fit within it. The Lunar's body and sensations are not inconvenienced by this. The Lunar may not hold more objects than he has dots of Stamina.

One may rip the objects off if one knows of their existence by making a successful attack that deals at least one health level, together with a Medicine dice action with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Essence. It deals the deals its artifact rating or resources cost in dice of damage to the Lunar they are ripped out of. The Lunar may free an object himself as a diceless action.

Shadowy Octopus Defense
Cost: 5 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Wits: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Thieving Magpie Prana
Like an octopus, the Lunar creates darkness all around her. The Lunar come creeping strands of purest shadow, rapidly growing to form a cloud of blackness (his permanent Essence x 10) yards across. Inside is total darkness and a bitter chill, to the detriment of the Exalt and his foes alike. The cloud stays in one place and does not move. It persists for a scene, before slowly receding as the area appears clearly again.

The Spider's Trap Door
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Wits: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Thieving Magpie Prana
Lunar Exalted are masters at concealing the truth. This Charm supplements an action, be it Survival to hide from animals or hide one’s trail, Stealth to set up an ambush or Investigation or Larceny to hide evidence from others. The concealed object becomes undetectable by any Awareness roll using purely mortal senses, and no Charms. By committing the motes to it and spending 1 willpower, the object becomes hidden by an illusion, which adds the Lunar’s Essence in difficulty to notice it, even if it is right in front of the one trying to notice the object.

Labyrinth of Mist Technique
Cost: 6 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Wits: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: The Spider’s Trap Door
The Lunar fills her track with illusionary essence, misleading her pursuers anywhere she wishes. Using this Charm, the Lunar rolls her Wits+Survival. With at least one success, mundane trackers are lost with no chance to resist. Supernatural trackers roll a Wits+Awareness with a difficulty equal to the number of successes, or are lost. Lost characters can be led anywhere in a number of miles equal to ten times the Lunar's Essence, but not anywhere immediatly lethal(so one may be led to a Raksha territory, but may not be led to a cliff - they will stop at its border). Alternatively, the Lunar may have her pursuers walk in circles in that until Luna shifts to another phase.

Rats in the Basement Style
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Wits: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: The Spider’s Trap Door
Lunar Exalted can conceal even great throngs in the shadows of the new moon. This Charm supplements an action, be it Survival to hide from animals or hide one’s trail, Stealth to set up an ambush or such, hiding the Lunar and at most (the Lunar’s Essence x50) individuals from detection. The concealed group becomes undetectable by any Awareness roll using purely mortal senses, and no Charms. By committing the motes to it and spending 1 willpower, the group becomes hidden by an illusion, which adds the Lunar’s Essence in difficulty to notice it, even if it is right in front of the one trying to notice the group. It takes at least half an hour to set up such a concealment. Individuals who move from the position the Lunar placed them in instantly break from the illusion and into plain sight.
