Soul-Body Armoring Method</b>

 <b>Cost: 5 motes, 1 willpower
 Duration: Scene
 Type: Simple
 Minimum Stamina: 4
 Minimum Essence: 3
 Prerequisite Charms: Armor-Forming Technique

All Lunars have a mastery of their own bodies that allows them to soften the impact of blows and develop formidable natural armor. This charm expands that ability, allowing the Lunar to reshape their essence as well, preventing even powerful foes from taking advantage of their advanced essence when fighting the Lunar.
This charm allows a Lunar to subtract half their own Essence (rounding up) from an opponent's Essence when determining how many damage dice to roll on attacks that do not defeat the Lunar's soak. (minimum of one).

Example: Raging Wildfire, an experienced Immaculate of Hessiah attacks the anathema Silver Turtle. Silver Turtle has this charm engaged, when Raging Wildfire manages to slip a short daiklaive past the Lunar's defenses. The amount of damage done is less than Silver Turtles soak, and so Raging Wildfire would normally roll his essence (4 dice) in damage. Silver Turtle subtracts half his own essence, however, leaving the Immaculate with only two damage die.
