Flesh of Need</b>

 <b>Cost: 2 motes per level
 Duration: One Turn
 Type: Reflexive
 Min Charisma: 5
 Min Essence: 3
 Prereqs: Shaping the Ideal Form

All Lunars have great control over the structures of their body, but those who have learned this Charm have such a fine level of control that they are able to transform the material of their body into whatever living tissue they require. Using this Charm more times in a scene then the character has unmodified dots of Stamina inflicts one bashing health level of damage per over-use. For every two motes spent, one dot of a physical attribute may be converted into a health level or a dot in another physical attribute. Health levels can also be converted into physical attribute dots. Attributes can not be lowered to zero with this Charm, and converting your last health level is fatal.

Body of Many</b>

 <b>Cost: 3 motes per animal
 Duration: One Scene
 Type: Simple
 Min Charisa: 4
 Min Essence: 3
 Prereqs: Humble Mouse Shape

Not only can skilled Lunars assume a single animal shape, but they can split their bodies into numerous small creatures while their mind remains whole. This change does not require an action. Each of the animals formed by the Lunar can act independently, under orders from the Lunar, who can only ?be? one of them at a time. A Lunar can transform into up to her Stamina in animals on this charm. The change lasts one scene, or until the Lunar chooses to re-form herself. A Lunar can re-form from any number of the animals. The animals equally share the Lunar?s normal pool of Health levels, but have at least two (-0 and Incapacitated).

Behemoth Emulation Method</b>

 <b>Cost: None
 Duration: Permanent
 Type: Special
 Min Charisma: 3
 Min Essence: 3
 Prereqs: Towering Beast Form

Lunars can exercise a great degree of control over their form, even the forms in their Heartsblood library. When taking the form of any of her Heartsbloods, the Lunar may decide to increase the size of the animal by 100% per dot of permanent Essence she has. This ability incurs a 1 willpower cost every time it is used.

Comments

With "Flesh of Need", what is it useful for? Assuming that the altered Attributes and Health Levels only endure for the duration of the Charm (since there isn't text to the contrary), it seems to be of very little use, because the Charm consumes the character's action for the turn. Or are the changes intended to be permanent? If the effects are not permanent, what happens when Health Levels added through this Charm are damaged, and then the Charm expires? Is the damage simply gone, or transferred onto the base wound track? - David.

Whoops. That Charm is supposed to be Reflexive. When the Health levels granted by the Charm return to normal, the damage *poofs* off. At least, I think similar effects occur with the DB charms that add extra health levels and such. - Telgar

I like the idea of the Behemoth Emulation Method. What effect does this Charm have on the Lunar's stats? I'd assume that an enlarged beast would have higher Strength and Stamina, lower Dexterity, and perhaps additional Health Levels. - Quendalon

I would say that the ST has to decide what sort of stats a slug the size of a horse has. Generally, Lunar stats in alternate forms are an ST thing anyway. - Telgar
