bonus instead of strength. At essence 3 the Lunar also gains the 9-again rule on their attack.

the Lunar rolls Strength + Essence versus target's Stamina + Essence. If they fail the target
still suffers an aggravated wound as wyld energies course through them, the alternative is much
worse.
On a success the target is stricken with a supernatural sickness that triggers after 24 hours, and
then once every 24 hours until, it is cured or manages to kill its victim. Every 24 hours the target
rolls Resolve + (Composure or Stamina) + Essence and must achieve a number of successes equal to the
Lunar's Essence Score. Every time they fail they gain a pox(one point mutation) and an aggravated
level of damage. Poxes are random and some can stack into afflictions and Blights. Eventually, if
the damage doesn't kill them, they become too mutated to survive in creation. However if they survive
a lunar cycle (28 rolls) the sickness fades (but leaves any mutations and damage it inflicted.)
Attempts to cure this illness must be supernatural and suffer at least the Lunar's Essence score as a
dice penalty. Fleeing to a wyld zone cancels the aggravated damage but not the mutations.
