Concealment Charms

Wolf's Tracks Discovered
Cost: --, Requirements: Wits 4, Ess 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: The Spider's Trap Door
By the time a stalking Steward has been detected, she has already accomplished her goal. If an unexpected attack made by the Lunar has the unexpected quality removed, thus making the use of defense values and charms legal, this change only affects the target of the attack; any charms the Lunar uses that rely on an attack being unexpected have their full effect.

Moon Behind Clouds Methodology
Cost: --, Requirements: Wits 5, Ess 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: The Spider's Trap Door
Like the moon behind a cloudy sky, a momentary glimpse of a Steward is ephemeral and fleeting unless she chooses to be seen. This charm permanently enhances The Spider's Trap Door; if used to conceal herself, the Lunar's peerless stealth is not broken by any action she takes, successful or failed. If the target could not perceive her before the attack, he remains unable to locate her, even if he made her attack expected through the use of a charm such as Reflex Sidestep Technique. Only by possessing supernatural acuity of sense and beating her Stealth roll may he see her.

Reaction Charms

Herd-Scattering Reaction
Cost: --; Mins: Wits 4, Ess 3; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Prerequisite Charms: Meerkat Alertness Practice
A Steward's alertness is as a clarion call to response; her allies come to recognize even the subtlest cues of her reaction. This is a permanent enhancement to Meerkat Alertness Practice; when that charm is invoked, allies within [Essence x10] yards receive +(Lunar's Wits) dice to Join Battle, Debate, or War rolls. This does count as a dice bonus from charms, limiting any charms of the allies themselves, and if multiple Lunars invoke this effect, only the highest Wits total is used.

Rolling Pangolin's Evasion
Cost: 4m, Mins: Wits 4, Ess 3; Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Hungry Eagle Method
The Lunar has achieved a synergy between her senses and her reflexes, allowing herself to swiftly create distance between herself and all but the most determined opponent.
Roll (her Wits + Dodge) against a difficulty equal to the attacker's Essence. On a success, this Charm prevents all damage from the attack; each additional success carries the Lunar up to 1 yard away from her attacker.  On a failure, this Charm still gives her +2 to her Dodge Defence Value.
All credit to Enchantress for this charm.

Snake Bites Heel Certainty
Cost: -- (+2m), Mins: Wits 5, Essence 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Hungry Eagle Method
Those who strike at the Stewards may find retribution unavoidable without ending their assault prematurely. This charm enhances its' prerequisite. By spending a 2m surcharge when making a counterattack via Hungry Eagle Method, the Lunar creates an assurance of certainty in her attack. If her attack is defended against by a charm that perfectly defends against it or reduces its' damage to zero, then she retroactively perfectly defends against the triggering attack. Only by allowing her counterattack to land may the opponent hope to harm the Steward.
This charm may not be used if the Lunar used any defensive charm with a flaw of invulnerability against the triggering attack. The assurance of just retribution fails in the event of such certain defense.

Speed and Extra Action Charms

Striking Hornet Swiftness
Cost: --, Mins: Wits 4, Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Wasp Sting Blur
This charm permanently enhances its' prerequisite. Wasp Sting Blur now costs 1m per point of Speed reduction, to a minimum of Speed 3. At essence 4, this charm improves; Wasp Sting Blur becomes Reflexive with a duration of One Action, affecting all actions taken when it is activated. The Fury effect now additionally permits Wasp Sting Blur to be activated as a non charm action, allowing greater speed reduction without a combo, or simply accepting the -1 speed to all actions.

Thousand Stings Volley
Cost: 4+m, 1wp, Mins: Wits 5, Essence 3
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Wasp Sting Blur
An attack being made follows a single trajectory to a single destination; like her patron, however, a Lunar is not so bound by the petty rules of causality. This charm supplements an attack action; silvery light envelops the attacking weapon or limb before separating to follow a separate course as one or more ghostly images of the original attack. The attack is rolled normally, with successes on attacks and all other charms applied kept track of, then repeated once for every 4 motes spent on this charm, up to a maximum of [Essence-1] additional attacks. All effects of the original attack, including other charms supplementing or reflexively enhancing it, are repeated as well for no cost.
The use of this charm is incompatible with Extra Action charms. The repeated attacks inflict Onslaught as normal.
A repurchase at Essence 4+ gives two options, chosen whenever making the attack; either all attacks are considered to be part of a coordinated attack, imposing a DV penalty equal to the number of attacks made, or onslaught is doubled.

Comments

Removed Flickering Moonsilver Shadow since it just shunted the onus of defense supremacy from Unexpected-negation to Penalty-negation. Back to Top
