Many-Armed Beast

Monkey Arm Technique
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: Ascendant Dexterity
Usually, humans beings have a limited reach, their arms only distending so far. But Lunars are not so limited. The Lunar may easily shift his tendons and bone, making his flesh like an elastic and extend his limbs, for an attack or to grasp an object, a number of yards equal to twice his Dexterity. The Charm only lasts an instant, and the arm instantly recedes as much as it can. If it is used to grasp an object or make a clinch attempt, it will violently pull the object or person towards the Lunar. Natural weapons that posses Argent Heart Lash Edge are valid targets for this Charm. This Charm is a Gift and may be activated in when the Lunar shifts into a Hybrid Form. The Lunar commits 2 motes to increase his range as long as he remains in the Hybrid Form.

Silver Millipede Stride
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Ascendant Dexterity
The Moonchildren are not quite human. As such, they can move in ways no human could, using the help of appendages no human should possess! When using Silver Millipede Stride, the Lunar Exalted increases the rate of his unarmed and natural attacks, and decreases his multiple action penalties by one for every extra limb she possesses. Natural Weapons that posses the Argent Heart Lash Edge are valid limbs for this Charm.

Twin-Fang Technique
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Ascendant Dexterity
Masters of duality and multiplicity, Lunars can apply the principles of their soul to the weapons in their hands! Using this Charm, the Lunar can strike twice, once with each weapon she has on hand. The attack is counted as one for the purpose of charms, and has the same attack roll both times, with the highest accuracy, but both strikes much be defended separately, and deal their damage separately, if enhanced by the same charms twice!

Octopus and Spider Barrage
Cost: 6 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Extra Actions
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Silver Millipede Stride
Lunars can use anything on their hands to strike at their foes, and luckly for them, they have many hands! Like the angry, cornered tiger or the striking spider, each and every one of their limbs and is a great asset! The Lunar makes a number of attacks this turn equal to the number of combat-capable extremities she posses. A normal human form usually strikes four times – two for the arms, two for the legs. Each limb must actually be used for the attack, and thus hand-held weapons cannot be used more than once. Natural Weapons that posses the Argent Heart Lash and Mighty Bull Horns Edges are valid limbs for this Charm, as are all Mutations that give Horns and Fangs, Antlers and Tusks. As usual, limbs such as tails and wings have the normal unarmed attack abilities of the Lunar.

Savage Serpent Whispers
Cost: 4 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Dexterity: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Silver Millipede Stride
The human body is built with a clear configuration in mind, one of two legs and two arms and nothing further. But Lunars possess many other appendages... wings, tails, extra arms, tentacles, prehensile hair. They move with the Lunar, but crafty Lunars know ways to make those beastly features move on their own accord, complementin the Lunar's every movement in way no normal limb could. By pouring their lower soul's will within their beastly features, they imbue them with a bestial mind that responds to the Lunar's instincs, acting exactly as they wish to. The limbs act with a dice pool equal to the character's Dexterity, plus the bonuses from any Natural Weapon that is part of them, and does so independently of the character, but on the character’s own initiative.

The limbs may parry for the Lunar(as a separate defense that may stack with the Lunar's own parry or dodge), attack any enemy on its range, clinch an enemy if it is able, hold objects, or anything else the limbs can conceivably achieve. The Lunar may use Charms to enhance those actions as if they were his own, but they happen wholly separate, outside of any Simple Charms or Extra Action Charms the Lunar uses. In a turn a Lunar uses Charms, including even Extra Action Charms, he may use them again for the extra limb, by paying all the costs once again.

This charm enhances all of the Lunar's inhuman limbs - all of his tentacles or snakes or extra arms acting together and independently of the Lunar's will. Having many of them, or any number of different ones, makes little difference, as the Lunar imbues all that is inhuman in his body with his Lower Soul. Thus, no matter how many different inhuman limbs the Lunar possesses, he will always receive only one action with them.This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, making the Lunar receive this benefit for the duration.

Mirror of Brilliant Tails
Cost: 8 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Dexterity: 5
Minimum Essence: 5
Prerequisite Charms: Savage Serpent Whispers
The Lunar's mind shifts in the way of his body, filling his inhuman features and making them complement every his every movement, his every action, like the Moon's image mirrored in a pond at night. Upon activating this Charm, the Lunar’s Extra Limbs dance with his every movement, leaving trails, afterimages of Silver Light as they pass. For the remainder of the scene, every time the Lunar takes a physical action, he receives a free physical action with a dicepool equal to his Dexterity during the turn, made with his extra limbs. The Lunar may not benefit of this charm and Savage Serpent Whispers at the same time. And as Serpent of Savage Will, it does not matter how many Extra Limbs the Lunar possesses, he only receives one action from this Charm per physical action he takes.

Mother Spider Reproach
Cost: 8 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Octopus and Spider Barrage, Savage Serpent Whispers
When a blow is struck against her children, the mother spider lunges forth, using each and every one of its wrathful legs and fangs to bring about their undoing! The Lunar fills the animal part of his soul with the outrage as it feels the body about to be cut, hurt, desecrated. All this anger is poured into all that is inhuman in the Lunar's body, and their protection becomes a weapon ready to rip the throat of any who dare to strike against the temple of the Moonchild's body. When attacked, the character can activate Mother Spider Reproach to make one counterattack with each of its extra limbs, those liable for Octopus and Spider Barrage, in excess of his human ones. Those are all counterattacks.
