increases its range, at each increment, by a factor (1 + motes spent). This attack

path. When facing an attack using this charm a defense based on parrying is reduced by
the Steward's Strength score. This charm can also be purchased with Dexterity, allowing
standard or athletics based defenses to be reduced by Lunar's dexterity. When lunar has

makes attacks with natural weapons do lethal damage. It also adds strength as an equipment
bonus to the Steward's attack. This stacks with any bonus that might exist from shifting to
a clawed animal. When a character reaches essence two they may choose to use dexterity as a
bonus instead of strength. At essence 3 the Lunar also gains the 9-again rule on their attack. When activated as a gift this charm requires committing one mote when assuming a shape. This
ties the claws to the shape, so the bonus is lost if you shift again.

Mins: Strength 4, Essence 1
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fury-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Impressions of Strength

Lunars refuse to allow anything to stop their strength. When penalties reduce a strength action to
a chance die, the Lunar may activate this charm to roll one normal die. Charms combo'd with this
may than add onto this one die, such as strength excellencies, or the die added by Relentless Lunar

Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious,sickness,touch
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Unstoppable Lunar Strength, Shell Crushing Atemi

The Lunar Exalted carry the spark of the Wyld within them, and some learn to channel it. Using
this charm requires a touch, which may require a Dexterity + Brawl touch attack. Once touched
the Lunar rolls Strength + Essence versus target's Stamina + Essence. If they fail the target
still suffers an aggravated wound as wyld energies course through them, the alternative is much
worse.

On a success the target is stricken with a supernatural sickness that triggers after 24 hours, and
then once every 24 hours until, it is cured or manages to kill its victim. Every 24 hours the target
rolls Resolve + (Composure or Stamina) + Essence and must achieve a number of successes equal to the
Lunar's Essence Score. Every time they fail they gain a pox(one point mutation) and an aggravated
level of damage. Poxes are random and some can stack into afflictions and Blights. Eventually, if
the damage doesn't kill them, they become too mutated to survive in creation. However if they survive
a lunar cycle (28 rolls) the sickness fades (but leaves any mutations and damage it inflicted.)
Attempts to cure this illness must be supernatural and suffer at least the Lunar's Essence score as a
dice penalty. Fleeing to a wyld zone cancels the aggravated damage but not the mutations.
