Back to the Elders' Insights


The Four Almighty Adaptations

Lunar Insights are based around the concept of being able to adapt and respond to any situation, even within their own Essence. As such, they share similarities with the Solar Insights, but are slightly different.

Lunar Insights cost 12 XP if Favoured, and 15 XP if not Favoured. They are purchased for Attributes, as normal.

Almighty Beast's Fervency</b>

<b>Cost: None Mins: (Attribute) 7, Essence 7, Type: Special
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: One Charm from this Attribute of each Essence rating, from 1 to 6.

The skilled Lunar understands that the will is the most important asset to any character. Lunar characters with this Insight may choose to spend 4 motes instead of 1 Willpower when activating any Charm of this Attribute or Combo made up only of Attributes for which this Insight has been purchased.

Almighty Hunter's Reserves</b>

<b>Cost: None Mins: (Attribute) 8, Essence 8, Type: Special
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: Almighty Beast's Fervency

There is Essence within all things, and the true Lunar learns to gather Essence from their own expenditures, keeping themselves fueled and prepared for battle. At the end of any tick in which the Lunar spent at least 4 motes of Essence, he may regain 2 motes of Essence, up to his normal maximum pool rating.

Almighty Prey's Display</b>

<b>Cost: None Mins: (Attribute) 9, Essence 9, Type: Special
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: Almighty Hunter's Reserves

A true Lunar is always ready to pull one last trick out of her hat. She may permanently activate two Charms, or one Charm and one Combo, each action without penalty or extra cost.

Almighty Warrior's Resilience</b>

<b>Cost: None Mins: (Attribute) 10, Essence 10, Type: Special
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: Almighty Prey's Response

The Lunars are the greatest adapters of the Age, and no force can force them to be lesser than they are. Perfect effects that the Lunar is combating lose their perfection; if they do not allow any roll, make an opposed Essence roll between the effect's user and the Lunar to see if it is successful. This applies only to effects that could be considered attacks or direct contests; perfect defenses of any sort are not affected.

Comments

Regarding Almighty Hunter's Reserves - I'm guessing that you can't activate a 1m charm every tick, to regain 2m every tick, thus gaining a net of 1m per tick (assuming you're not using any other charms)? If not, I suggest that as an option - otherwise almost any Lunar this high can refill their entire pool in under a minute or two, which is more than amazing, truly. That, or give the Solars something better, that... I don't know ... refills their pools at the end of every scene, or refunds 1m for every charm activation of the given type, or something ridiculous. You'll see more of this in the Solar section, where I'm claiming that the Solar ones seem somehow not as awesome as they could. -- GreenLantern

*cough* Ah, geez. I didn't even think of that. I will repair that. - FrivYeti

In Almighty Prey's Display, you should probably remove the word "permanently" from the second sentence. Given the duration is already listed, it adds nothing but the possibility of mis-reading the charm to say that you can make any charms and combos you activate permanent. - Wordman
