DariusSollumanLunarsRevised/RevisedLunarHtHAttack
Hand to Hand combat, Lunars may use these Charms with or without weapons, as a rule. A few may refer specifically to a weapon, but on the whole Lunars just treat swords or axes like extensions of their body- they have no need to devolp seperate Charms for going bare-handed instead of armed.
Charms which directly enhance the Lunar's reflexes, speed or accuracy cluster under Dexterity. Those which enhance his raw power or ferocity fall under Strength. Those relating to changing his form fall under Stamina.

Example: Raski uses the Foe Driving Attack against MaHaSuchi. She has a Dexterity of 7 and a Brawl of 5, giving her twelve dice to attack with. For her first attack, she gets 6 successes- exactly average. She reduces that to 1 (meaning that MaHaSuchi still has to dodge or parry), and makes another 12 die attack.

The fourth attack comes up with only 3 successes, and so ends the Charm.

Example: Raski uses the Squid Wrestling Style and grows herself four extra pairs of arms. This reduces the penelty of her splitting her dicepool by 4. Additionally, she can punch up to 5 times with each set of arms. Alternatively, if she has a knife in one hand and a short sword in the other (so to speak), she could act 4 times with the knife, 3 times with the short sword, and 5 times with each remaining punch.

Jaw Unhinging Technique
Cost: 5 motes Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Stamina: 4 Minimum Essence: 3 Prerequisite Charms: Devouring Siaka's Maw
A Lunar may swallow anyone or anything, up to twice their own size. Normal mater may be regurgitated unharmed or digested, at the Lunar's option; magical materials must be regurgitated. While swallowed, the opponent is functionally in a clinch, but can do nothing except escape by taking control of it. The Lunar converts their Strength into automatic successes for maintaining such a clinch.
The opponent is also sufficating (see Exalted, pg 243), except that because of the extreme pressure and internal conditions, the can hold their breath for only 1 turn per success on the Stamina + Resistance roll.
Once an opponent has been swallowed, it is not neccesary to maintain use of Jaw Unhinging Technique.
