Arafelis's Revision

Make this Charm Appearance-based. The Charm requires (5 - Essence, min 1) in turns to complete, but the Lunar may take other actions while it is operating (subject to the limits of using a Simple Charm during the turn it is activated). Low Essence Lunars have particularly grotesque displays of skin peeling back and hair falling out. Allow users of this Charm to disguise themselves as other humans using a standard Appearance + Performance roll. Allow users of this Charm to regenerate lost body parts smaller than entire arms or legs (so hands, eyes, most internal organs, etc. However, regenerated body parts are useless until all damage is healed from health track). This Charm inherently heals no damage, and if used while the Lunar is wounded, adds an additonal automatic health level of unsoakable lethal damage. Lunars may reduce their evident Appearance with this Charm, but may not increase it beyond their normal inherent.

I personally find the 'official' reason for lacking Appearance Charms rather empty, and am bothered by the utter lack of Appearance rolls. Appearance should cover all 'surface impressions' of the character, including voice, scent, etc. Seriously, how many rock stars out there would get by on Charisma + Performance rolls? - Arafelis
