With the understanding of how to move perfectly, comes a very precious knowledge to the hunter - the knowledge of how to stop the movement of others, trapping his prey with his body and essence and not allowing her to go any further than the hunter allows. When an opponent tries to move away, the Lunar activates this Charm and the opponents has to suceed in a reflexive Dexterity+Athletics roll with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Dexterity. If the opponent succeeds, she can move, if she fails, she must remain. This can stop hopping defenses, and even esoteric movements such as Avoidance Kata - after all, Lunars were created to hunt Gods as easily as Men.

When pressed, a Lunar may cover a great ground without difficulty! Every 5 motes spent grant the Lunar a ''Sprint''  that doubles the his movement rate and leaping distances for the remainder of the scene(5 motes doubles the movement, 10 motes triples the movement, etc).

Sometimes, even the Lunars, the greatest of all hunters, find themselves overwhelmed and need to retreat! This Charm can be activated with a reflexive action and the commitment of 1 point of Temporary Willpower, and doubles a Lunar’s Movement Rate as long as he is trying to escape pursuit or otherwise flee a scene, event or area. Flight of the Sparrow Ends ends when the Lunar is no longer fleeing, and the Willpower remains committed until then.

Lunars are instilled with the instincts of predatorsthat leap to their prey with swift momentum to their advantage! Whenever the Lunar makes an attack after leaping she can spend 1 Willpower to add 1 to the Base Damage of their attacks for every 3 yards traveled in their leap to a maximum of her Strength+Athletics in damage. Those thus pounced must succeed on a Strength+Athletics contest with the Lunar or be knocked down by the sheer force of such attacks.

Once a Lunar chooses her prey, it cannot escape. The Lunar designates a single target which she must have seen within the last hour.

This Charm permanently enhances long movement-enhancing charms such as Primordial Hunter Speed and Flight of the Sparrow, allowing the Lunar to convey the Charm’s benefit to an entire unit he leads. This adds 1 willpower to its cost and allows the Lunar to affect (Essence x50) allies at once. It is left to the Storyteller’s discretion which other Charms are enhanced by Pack and Flock Guindance, but they must be similar in nature to Primordial Hunter Speed and Flight of the Sparrow, encompassing such Charms as Furious Hound Pursuit.

Some creatures may attempt to escape the Lunar hunter's efforts by going under the ground, but they soon discover that the Children of Luna can adapt to any possible enviroment an enemy may retreat to! Using Mole Hands Technique, the Lunar makes his fingers into long talons, his muscles and body all shifting to dig better. For the remainder of the scene, the Lunar may deal lethal damage unarmed and may dig through the earth(anything not made out of solid stone) at half his running speed.

Some hunters get ahead of their prey, and are thus able to srt deadly traps for them! The Lunar spends a turn digging a hole into the ground with a Dexterity+Survival roll, and holes beneath it in wait when he is done. The hole is as wide as his Essence and as deep as his Dexterity, and when the Lunar holes within it, it cannot be perceived without the use of Charms, and even then the difficulty is set to the Dexterity+Survival roll. Those that step over the trap fall down, losing their action for the turn and suffering an Undodgeable and Unparriable clinch attempt by the Lunar with a number of successes equal to the original Dexterity+Survival roll.
+
Exalted were created to hunt the greatest game - and to do that one must learn how to set the greatest of traps. Enacting the Deadly Antlion Trap the Lunar is able to ensnare even Gods! The Lunar must spend (10-his Dexterity) turns digging a hole on the ground that can be as wide as the (Dexterity) yards and as deep as (Essence) yards - at the conclusion he makes the ''Antlion Roll'' (a Dexterity+Survival roll).
 +
 
 +
No character is able to perceive the Deadly Antlion Trap without magic. Those who use magic must still roll their Perception+Awareness with a Difficulty equal to the result of the Antlion Roll. Those that cannot perceive the trap fall into it without warning! Those that fall into the Deadly Antlion Trap are subject to an Unparriable and Undodgeable Clinch Attempt from the Lunar with a number of automatic successes added equal to the Lunar's successes in the Antlion Roll.
