Grace

Sinuous Striking Glance
Cost: 1 mote per +1 initiative
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 1
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Using Sinuous Striking Glance, the Lunar moves with such speed that his body seems to blur, shifting in the air in arcs as he approaches his enemy sinuously... with such a speed that his strike is but a glance. When rolling initiative, the Lunar may spend motes of essence to improve his initiative rating, adding +1 to his initiative for every mote spent, up to a maximum of her Dexterity. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for 2 motes, giving the Lunar a bonus to his initiative equal to his Essence for the Rage's duration.

Cat-Falling Attittude
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Sinuous Striking Glance
Sometimes, prey will have worked its way down cliffs, or be nimble enough to make the hunter fall into a trap! But using this Charm, the hunter greatly improves his ability to avoid damage from a fall, by cushioning his body, decreasing his weight and creating special tendons and resistance in his limbs. He will always land on his feet and suffer no damage unless he falls more than 100 feet, and even then it will be only Bashing - only sharp things such as spikes will make a fall deal Lethal Damage on the Lunar.

Mountain Goat Stance
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Sinuous Striking Glance
With minute shifts to their bodies, Lunars make sure that they cannot fall, and make even wading through the muck look elegant. The Lunar ignores any and all enviromental penalties that might hinder his movement rating in any way, and receives his Essence in dice to any and all rolls to keep his balance, turning them into reflexive rolls if they were not so already.

Unerring Hunter Strike
Cost: 4 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Sinuous Striking Glance
A hunter knows that a single opening is enough to allow his prey to get away, through nets, traps or the Lunar’s own hands, and thus, the hunter must strike at the prey before it has a chance to react! Using this Charm, the Lunar automatically wins initiative against a single target. If another character uses Charms that instantly win initiative, both roll for initiative normally. This Charm may be used at any point prior to the Lunar's actual action, as long as both he and the opponent he wishes to get the drop on have yet to act.

Thousand Feather Attittude
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Unerring Hunter Strike
Moving as a crane that unfurls its wings to cover the world with feathers, the Lunar shows that only her skill restricts her as her actions happen at each falling feather, not any restrictions placed on her by the world. From the moment this Charm is activated until she takes her next action, all Rate values become infinite for the Lunar. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, giving its benefits for the duration.

Ten-Tiger Whirlwind
Cost: 1 mote per penalty reduced, 1 willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Thousand Feather Attittude
Masters of movement, Moonchildren may move so quickly that their movements are lost to all observers, who see only the results of her whirlwind of motion, as for the Lunar herself, the world flows slow, giving her ample time to do all that needs to be done! For every mote spent, the Lunar ignores 1 point of Multiple-Action penalties for the remainder of the turn, to a maximum of penalties ignored equal to her Dexterity. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, lowering the Lunar's multiple-action penalty by 2 for the duration of the Fury.

Stalking Cat Style
Cost: 3 motes per action
Duration: Instant
Type: Extra Action
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Sinuous Striking Glance
The Lunar moves like a cat after its prey, jumping, rushing, somewhere and then nowhere! With this Charm the Lunar may take Extra Physical Actions. It costs 3 motes per action added, and the Lunar may never purchase more actions than her Permanent Essence Score. Those may be any kind of physical action – movements, attacks, athletics actions, and suchlike. If the Lunar reserves one of them for defense, he receives a single defense at his full pool from it, which may be 'stored' until used at any point in the turn(but is lost at the start of the next turn). If this Charm is placed on a combo with Supplemental or Simple Charms, those must be used in every action, thus dictating the kind of action performed through this Charm.

Foe-Driving Attack
Cost: 6 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Extra Actions
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Stalking Cat Style
The Lunar becomes almost like liquid, battering against rock relentlessly. He becomes a pack, striking from all directions, never allowing the enemy to catch his breath, to mount any response other than desperate defense to his relentless, purposeful onslaught. With this Charm, the Lunar makes multiple attacks, wrong-footing her opponent until its defenses fail. She makes a total number of attacks on a single target equal to her Dexterity.

Hunting Tiger Speed
Cost: 8 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Independent Actions
Minimum Dexterity: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Foe-Driving Attack
The Lunar becomes a master at combat shapeshifting, his limbs becoming larger when the need comes to strike, minute changes to his body allowing him to move many, many times faster, his very mind shifting to see the world as many animals do, seeing the movements of the world differently, sharper. This Charm gives the Lunar one Independent Action in addition to his normal dice action, but all actions taken in this Independent Action must be instant, physical actions.

Spreading the Wyld Roots
Cost: 7 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Simple
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Stalking Cat Style
Within the Wyld, space is not always a matter of here and there. Sometimes, one location is in multiple places, or multiple points all fit in one small space. Though Lunar Exalted are immune to such space-bending in a personal degree, some learn to exploit it. By perceiving an striking such multispatial point, or perhaps creating one himself, the Lunar strikes a number of such points simultaneously with a single blow equal to his Essence. The Lunar may target multiple individuals within (his Essence x10) yards, a single person, or a mix thereof. Each attack against a single target subtract 2 dice from each of the target's defenses against the Lunar until the onslaught is done. The Lunar makes a single roll, and applies it to all the different points he strikes.
