Hand to Hand combat, Lunars may use these Charms with or without weapons, as a rule. A few may refer specifically to a weapon, but on the whole Lunars just treat swords or axes like extensions of their body- they have no need to devolp seperate Charms for going bare-handed instead of armed.
Charms which directly enhance the Lunar's reflexes, speed or accuracy cluster under Dexterity. Those which enhance his raw power or ferocity fall under Strength. Those relating to changing his form fall under Stamina.

Make two hand to hand attacks this turn.
Foe Driving Attack
Cost: 7 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Instant Type: Extra Actions Minimum Dexterity: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Spinning Blade Attack
Continue attacking someone, as long as each successive attack has one more success than the one before it. You may reflexively reduce the number of successes from an attack while under this Charm. You may not make more than Dexterity attacks from the Foe Driving Attack.
Example: Raski uses the Foe Driving Attack against MaHaSuchi. She has a Dexterity of 7 and a Brawl of 5, giving her twelve dice to attack with. For her first attack, she gets 6 successes- exactly average. She reduces that to 1 (meaning that MaHaSuchi still has to dodge or parry), and makes another 12 die attack. The second attack comes up with 9 successes, which she reduces to 2. The third attack comes up with 8 successes, which she reduces to 3. The fourth attack comes up with only 3 successes, and so ends the Charm.

Force opponent to move up to Strength yards away from the Lunar, or suffer an full dicepool hand to hand attack per yard not moved (opponent's option, but they may not have a choice is pushed against a wall).

Deadly Claw Blow
Cost: 1 mote per turn Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Stamina: 2 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: None
Turn you hands into claws for one turn per mote, to a maximum of Stamina motes. These replace your normal punch.
Claws have Essence + Dexterity points to spend between Speed, Accuracy, Damage, Defense and Rate. Each point in Speed adds +2, while Rate costs two points for each increment. No more than Essence points invested in any single attribute.
These points may be reflexively shifted around once a turn, including before initative.
Claws of the Silver Moon
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Stamina: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Deadly Claw Blow
Turn your hands into claws until the Lunar wants regular hands again.
Monkey Arm Reach
Cost: 1 mote per 3 yards Duration: Instant Type: Supplemental Minimum Dexterity: 3 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Claws of the Silver Moon

Squid Wrestling Style
Cost: 2 motes per pair of arms Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Stamina: 4 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Claws of the Silver Moon
Grow additional arms, up to one pair per point of stamina for 2 motes per arm. A reduces their multiple action penelty by 1 for each set of arms they have. The arms also act in a vaugely independent fashion, and let the Lunar wield multiple weapons more easily; they can make a number of actions equal to the sum of the Rates of the weapons they're using.
Example: Raski uses the Squid Wrestling Style and grows herself four extra pairs of arms. This reduces the penelty of her splitting her dicepool by 4. Additionally, she can punch up to 5 times with each set of arms. Alternatively, if she has a knife in one hand and a short sword in the other (so to speak), she could act 4 times with the knife, 3 times with the short sword, and 5 times with each remaining punch.
Cunning Porcupine Defense
Cost: 3 motes Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Stamina: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Deadly Claw Blow

Cost: 1 mote per turn Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Stamina: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: None
Turns a Lunar's jaw in a vicious tearing maw for one turn per mote, to a maximum of Stamina motes.
Jaws have Essence + Strength points to spend between Speed, Accuracy, Damage, Defense and Rate. Each point in Damage adds +2, while Rate costs three points for each increment. No more than Essence points invested in any single attribute. They may also spend 3 points to make the jaws deal piercing damage.
These points may be reflexively shifted around once a turn, including before initative.
Devouring Siaka's Maw
Cost: 6 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Minimum Strength: 4 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Predator's Grin
Grants a Predator's Grin until the Charm wants regular jaws again. Additionally, while using Devouring Siaka's Mouth, the Lunar can make a bite attack in place of a clinch attack. If successful, the opponent is incapable of doing anything but escaping if they take control of the clinch.
Jaw Unhinging Technique
Cost: 5 motes Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Stamina: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Devouring Siaka's Maw
A Lunar may swallow anyone or anything, up to twice their own size. Normal mater may be regurgitated unharmed or digested, at the Lunar's option; magical materials must be regurgitated. While swallowed, the opponent is functionally in a clinch, but can do nothing except escape by taking control of it. The Lunar converts their Strength into automatic successes for maintaining such a clinch.
The opponent is also sufficating (see Exalted, pg 243), except that because of the extreme pressure and internal conditions, the can hold their breath for only 1 turn per success on the Stamina + Resistance roll.
Once an opponent has been swallowed, it is not neccesary to maintain use of Jaw Unhinging Technique.
