Armor

Hide-Toughening Essence
Cost: 1 mote per +2 soak
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
The Lunar reinforces his skin, making it thicker, stronger, using the precepts of bone and cartillage and callouses to make his skin nearly impervious to some sort of danger! It is mostly unnoticeable, but careful observers(a Perception+Awareness roll at difficulty 3) can pick the changes to the Lunar's frame. This Charm costs 1 mote per 2 Bashing or Lethal soak added, but the Lunar may not spend more motes than his Essence powering this Charm. The Lunar may wear armor with this Charm without any hindrance.

Frenzied Bear Fortification
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: One Turn
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Hide-Toughening Essence
Just like a raging bear, the Lunar shrugs off even the worst blows struck by her foes, her endurance so great that attacks just seem to slide off! In the turn this Charm is active, the Lunar may ignore one damage success on every blow against her, no matter the kind of damage dealt. This Charm can be comboed despite its non-instant duration. 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.

Fire-And-Mercury Maneuver
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Frenzied Bear Fortification
With a mere step, the Lunar flows like quicksilver, standing before the path of attack... and from quicksilver to the hardest moonsilver, the Lunar can weather even the fires of the deepest south to protect another! Using this Charm, the Lunar can step and defend any being or object within his (Stamina x2) yards. He will take the target's place on the attack, and may ignore half his Essence, rounded up, on damage successes dealt by this attack, to a minimum of 0.

Wound-Mastering Body Evolution
Cost: 10 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Stamina: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Frenzied Bear Fortification
Powerful Lunars can teach their bodies to acclimatize to the most dangerous things, rending the Lunars proof against what has already hurt them. After activating this Charm, any form of attack or event that causes the Lunar harm(at least one health level of damage or dot of trait degradation) ceases to be a danger for her for the rest of the scene, making their raw damage drop to zero before soak is applied. Others forms of attack can still harm the character: the Lunar can only immunize herself against a single form of attack at any given time. Using this Charm a second time merely switches the form of attack the Lunar is immune against; Its effects do not stack. Divide weapons by edged and blunt and so on, with things like fire, acid, strangulation and crushing being their own categories as well.

Armor-Forming Technique
Cost: 1 mote per +3 soak
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
The Lunar creates plates of armor over his body, laced with Moonsilver and bone, which may be as elegant as the sleek carapace of a beetle or the plating of a Celestial Lion or as terrifying as terrible blades of jagged bone. Every mote spent gives the Lunar 3 points of Bashing and Lethal Soak and 1 point of Aggravated Soak, but the Lunar may not spend more motes powering this Charm than he has dots of Permanent Essence. This Charm creates armor, which counts as armor for all purposes, and cannot be used with armor not made of Moonsilver, as it completely alters the shape of the character's body. This Charm is a Gift and may be activated in when the Lunar shifts into a Hybrid Form. The Lunar may commit his Essence in motes to increase his soak as long as he remains in the hybrid form.

Shimmering Silver Fortress
Cost: 4 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: One Scene
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Armor-Forming Technique
The Lunar reinforces his natural armor with his Celestial Station, silver-white motes burning around his body for a moment before disappearing, his body retaining a certain quality of something as untouchable as the Moon in the night sky - anything below his station ceases to be a concern entirely. For the remainder of the scene, the Lunar's Natural Soak becomes hardness against all attacks not enhanced by Charms.

Flesh of Adamantine
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Shimmering Silver Fortress
In a flare of power, the Lunar orders his whole body to tighten. The Lunar's flesh becomes as stone, his bones as adamant, his natural defenses as impenetrable as the barriers of reality. It takes much power to maintain such a powerful change to the Lunar's shape, but for that instant, against one single attack, the Lunar turns his Natural Bashing and Lethal Soak into Hardness, as his form shifts into its hardest.

Invulnerable Moonsilver Carapace
Cost: 8 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 5
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Flesh of Adamantine.
Moonsilver comes out of all the pores of the Lunar's bodu, covering him in shining moonlight, sounds like night rivers echoing around the Lunar as this beautiful, serene proccess completes, as sublime as a butterfly opening her wings out of the cocoon. It covers the entirety of the Lunar, and is compatible with any armor or prop the Lunar may don. During the turn this Charm is activated, the Lunar receives Aggravated, Bashing and Lethal Soak equal to three times his Essence, and the minimum damage of all attacks becomes zero. This soak is neither armor nor natural.

Armor-Absorbing Method
Cost: 10 motes, 1 willpower, 1 health level
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Stamina: 5
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Ascendant Stamina, Primal Stamina
The Lunar absorbs the armor in himself, reshaping it as part of his body. It becomes no different than a shell for his body, bone protusions of many sorts of beasts. For the remainder of the scene, the armor is considered to be part of the Lunar's Natural Soak, for all purposes including Charms, but still able to soak aggravated damage. The armor becomes part of the Lunar's body, but is still too bulky for any other armor to be worn above it. The Health Level spent powering this Charm is committed. This Charm has no effect on Magical Material Armor of materials other than Moonsilver. This Charm is a Gift and may be activated in when the Lunar shifts into a Hybrid Form. The Lunar may commit 5 motes to absorb his armor upon shifting into the Hybrid Form.
