Ok... I'm gonna have to take a break there. Remember that all this is just my opinion, and it's your game to do with as you will. B-) And as far as Charms go, people only get better with practice, and I generally suck at them (particularly Lunar ones, see the CharmRelay for an example! B-) - [[Nikink]]

Ok, here's my critique of the Style. Please remember it's all just IMO! B-)

Ascending Moon Technique : I don't think this Charm needs to be Permanent. 2m, Instant Reflexive. That said, I also don't think it's meaningful to Lunars. I seem to recall (vaguely, I admit) it stated in the Core Rules that getting up from a knockdown is a Dex+Athletics roll, anyway. And given that most Lunars will have a pretty high Dex, success on that task is virtually guaranteed.

yeah but this woks against effects that have an increaced knockdown rating i did the permenant effect cause lunars combo like s***.

Movement of the Moon : Way too powerful for it's minimums and position in the cascade. This is the sort of Charm that comes in the upper third of a Style. 30 yard Teleport (minimum). In DBT that is easily 60-90 yards. I'd add (at least) 2 to each of the listed minimums. And how does it blend with the Full-Moon Anima power? That gets pretty phenomenal...

sorry bout that i should have stated that it can only be use once a round and it doesn't stack with any movement mods cause it's not movement really,but i see your point and i'm gonna try and clean up the charm.

Gaze of Luna : Does the cone of light reveal ghosts and glamours to everyone, or just the Lunar?

Everyone. i kinda dessigned the charm to act as the revealing light of the Moon.

Argent Conflagration : Bolts of lunar fire from the eyes is not (to me) a very Lunar-y thing. Nor is is (again, to me) a very Martial-Arty thing. Also, Ghosts are made of Ectoplasm, Fae are created from Wyld energies pulling together the elements (and Elements) of Creation into bodies. Different stuff, different schtick - Ghosts are beings from the place of eternal stagnation and the ultimate end, Fae are from the place of ultimate creation and source of change itself. So, it seems odd that the same bolts of lunar fire does aggravated damage to both of them.

Tiny, tiny nitpick - ghosts are made of corpus. - willows
I went on the basis that the things were affected they way they were dependant upon the their relation with how "natural" they were to the world.I know that reasoning is a little weird and esoteric. The thing about it being non-lunar well it is i was drawing inspiration from various Moon Gods from history and Moon gods often punished the creatures of the "Night" with Bolts / Arrows of Lunar light.The reason it's a beam from the eyes well....I just thought it would look cool,and the charm tree doesn't use bows.

Claw of the rising Moon Form : Oooh. Oh dear. Nope. This one is just wrong, as written! The Lunar gets +Ess (that's at least 4) to each Physical and Mental Attribute, and the bonus is considered natural, and they get the bonus again whenever they use their Perception (so that's +8 total, minimum), and their movement is doubled. Dude... this is ... wow. I suggest you make a Lunar, give it three DBTs, Sense-Sharpening Change, and enough XP to get this charm and it's prerequisites (which is only enough to get to Essence 4, as the others are trivial), then spend 7 motes to activate this Charm and work out the changes granted, and ask yourself whether that's something you would want to face as a PC. Physical traits easily all above 10, Perception easily above 10, Intelligence and Wits 7-ish. Base Initiative around 20, + Moonsilver Claws takes it to 30-ish, Able to turn all natural attribute dice to auto-successes... but I think you get my point! B-)
