Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Any Dexterity Excellency
- This charm allows the Lunar to make an attack for every two motes spent, up to a maximum of his Essence +1. These attacks ignore weapon Rate and provide no multiple action penalties, and the DV penalty is only that of the highest DV penalty from any one attack. Weapons whose projectiles have a Resources cost require 4 motes instead of 2.
Rain of Feathered Death
Cost: 8m 1w; Mins: Dex 4, Essence 3; Type: Extra Action.
Keywords: Combo-Basic
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Silver Waterfall
- This charm enables the Lunar to make a single attack, but apply it to a maximum number of opponents equal to twice his Dexterity. When used in Mass Combat, this adds twice the Lunar's Dexterity to the damage total for a single unit instead.
Finding the Needle's Eye
Cost: 2m; Mins: Dexterity 3, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Any Dexterity Excellency
- This charm grants the Lunar a DV based upon either her Dexterity + Archery or Dexterity + Thrown. Weapon accuracy counts as defense for the purposes of this DV equation, which applies only to ranged attacks.
Arrow Breaking Shot
Cost: 4m; Mins: Deterity 5, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Finding the Needle's Eye
- This charm grants the same Ranged DV as does Finding the Needle's Eye, but applies to ranged attacks against his comrades instead.
Skillful Ricochet
Cost: 5m; Mins: Dexterity 4, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Finding the Needle's Eye
- This charm allows the Lunar to ricochet her shot off of surfaces, sacrificing power for accuracy. For every every surface struck in the process of this attack, the target suffers a -1 DV penalty. However, every ricochet also costs a die of damage. If the base damage (Str + damage bonus) reaches 0, the projectile's energy is spent and it falls to the ground.
Wind-Wings Carry Technique
Cost: 5m; Mins: Strength 3, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Any Strength Excellency
- This charm allows the Lunar to impart a greater force to her ranged attack, causing it to sail much further. The Lunar may attack at twice the weapon's maximum range (that is, the range that one would normally suffer a -4 penalty at) at a -1 penalty, up to three times the maximum distance at -2, and up to four times the distance at -4.
Bow-Bending Method
Cost: 3m; Mins: Strength 4, Essence 3; Type: Supplemental.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Wind-Wings Carry Technique
- This charm allows the Lunar to use more strength than he normally could with a given bow. Upon activation of this charm, the Lunar may up to double the maximum Strength of a bow for a single shot. If the Lunar wishes to exceed this limit, he must make a reflexive Dexterity + Archery roll at a difficulty equal to the number of Strength dots by which he exceeded that limit.
Lightning Stroke Attack
Cost: 6m; Mins: Dexterity 5, Essence 3; Type: Supplemental.
Keywords: Instant, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Wind-Wings Carry Technique, Any Dexterity Excellency
- This charm makes a single shot by the Lunar both unparyable and undodgeable. Perfect defenses may trump this as usual.
Ossific Shard Shot
Cost: 2m; Mins: Dexterity 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple.
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: None.
- This charm allows the Lunar to make a ranged attack using a shard of his own bones. This causes no damage and regenerates instantly, but is still unsettling to behold. The attack is made with either Dexterity + Archery or Dexterity + Thrown at -1 Accuracy, and the shot does a base 9L damage plus any extra successes.
