Lunar Stamina Charms

Survival And Healing

Rhino-Hide Meditation

Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Stamina: 1
Minimum Essence: 1
Pre-requisite Charms: None

This Charm, Like Ox-Body Meditation, is a static effect, though instead of granting health levels, Rhino-Hide Meditation provides additional soak to the player’s character. For each level of Rhino-Hide Meditation, the Lunar gains 1 Aggravated Soak 1 Lethal and 1 Bashing Soak, or two Lethal and two bashing soak. This soak does not count towards the maximum of 12 that a Lunar's natural soak can achieve. The Exalt may purchase this charm as many times as they have points of Stamina.


Glorious Recuperation Method

Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Varies
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Pre-Requisite Charms: Luna’s Fortitude

Though Luna’s Fortitude is capable of extending life past the point of death, it is not necessarily enough to save the life of the lunar using it. If the Lunar is spent, he is limited to a very short time to live, and doing so costs him more essence and willpower to do so, possibly leaving him lacking in the capability to heal to a safe level. Glorious Recuperation Method solves this, and other, problems.

When using this charm, the Lunar falls into an essence inspired coma, from which nothing can rouse him, save their complete recovery. At the time of activation, the Lunar sacrifices all temporary essence, and regains it at a uniform rate of a single mote per day spent in this trance. While in this coma, the lunar, regardless of form, heals at their normal human form rate, and does not gain any healing bonuses from Hearthstones. Reflexive healing charms, such as Halting the Scarlet Flow, may be used to help the healing process along, once the essence required has been regained.

The Lunar may also fall far below the normal amount of negative health levels before true death. The limit they have is their Stamina X 10, instead of the more normal amount equal to their stamina.

A Lunar will under no circumstance wake early from this trance, and they are unable to react to anything while succumbed thusly. They must be fully healed before they are able to wake. While under this trance, it appears in all ways as though the Lunar is dead. The essence released at the time of activation appears to be the Lunars soul leaving their body for all that can perceive such things, and the only sign that this is not true is the incredibly slow process of healing, which may be observed if careful scrutiny is applied.

Upon waking, the Lunar is disorientated and groggy for the period of 24 hours, in which they are at a -3 dice penalty to all actions.


Reincarnation of the Protean Blessed

Cost: 5 Experience at time of Charm Activation
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Essence: 5
Minimum Stamina: 5
Pre-Requisite Charms: Glorious Recuperation Method

To her greatest warriors, the Silver Lady may bestow a gift more potent than that of the Exaltation, the gift of life itself. Luna herself must address the Lunar, and lay a single kiss on his caste mark, which will glow uncontrollably for a full lunar cycle. The essence required to fuel this charm is granted at the time of anointment.

When the Lunar dies, their body collapses, falls, and lays still for a single turn. The body is nothing more than a corpse, though no necrotic effects nor will essence manipulation cause any change to it. Over the following turn the body crumbles and melts to nothing more than a puddle of viscera. When the collapse is final, a swirling cloud of silver-white essence swirls around the remains, and coalesces into the visage of the Lunar as he was at the time of Exaltation, pristine, without scars or mutilations. The remains of the body float up in particles and droplets, recoalescing, forming into the image they are superimposing.

The price for this gift is a point of Permanent Essence, forever lost after the Lunars Rebirth. Any charms that had an essence cost higher than the Lunars new total are lost until the Lunar raises his essence again, and repurchases the charms at their normal experience cost.

When the reconstruction is complete, the Lunar stands again, in the shape and age they were at the time of their Exaltation, though their tattoos remain and their tell is appropriate for the current number of Beastman Transformation levels they have, and the Lunar’s Temporary Willpower and Essence pools are fully restored. Like the Rune of Singular Hate, this ability will never be able to be used more than once, as the Silver Lady will never grant the ability to survive as such to one that did not manage it.
