Second Edition Lunars Now Interaction Charms

Lion Roar Method
Cost: 5m; Mins: Charisma 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisites: Any Charisma Excellency

This charm alters the Lunar's vocal cords, greatly amplifying his voice. The Lunar is clearly audible to anyone within (his Essence x100) yards. This can also be used as an attack against someone within ten yards; the target rolls Stamina + Resistance against a Difficulty equal to his own perception. Failure means he loses a dot of Perception for the rest of the scene and must soak a number of bashing damage dice equal to the Lunar's Stamina. This charm remains in effect for as long as the Lunar keeps the essence committed.

Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Lion Roar Method

This charm enables the Lunar to send a short message (no more than his Essence x5 words) up to a number of miles equal to his successes on a Charisma + Performance roll.

River of Words
Cost: --; Mins: Charisma 4, Essence 3; Type: Permanent.
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: --
Prerequisites: Wind-Speaking Method

This charm permanently enhances the capabilities of Wind-Speaking Method, removing all range limitations of the charm.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Social, Emotion
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Any Charisma Excellency, Any Manipulation Excellency

This charm enables the Lunar to stir the emotions of those he speaks to in an unnatural fashion, using magic where words will not suffice. The Lunar makes a standard social attack using either Presence or Performance; if the Lunar exceeds the target's MDV, the target will intensely feel an emotion of the Lunar's choosing. He may only choose a single emotion per attack, so he cannot specifically dictate who feels what should he address a mob with Performance.

ATTENTION DEMANDING PRESENCE
Cost: 5m; Mins: Charisma 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple (Speed 4).
Keywords: Combo-OK, Social, Compulsion
Duration: One Scene

This charm allows the Lunar to secure the attention of everyone in his general area. The Lunar rolls either Charisma or Manipulation + Performance- anyone whose MDV he exceeds is compelled to remain and listen to him. Resisting this costs one willpower per five minutes, to a maximum of three per scene; this allows one to leave, heckle, or attempt to silence the Lunar forcibly.

Mind-Blanking Fear Technique
Cost: 10m, 1wp; Mins: Charisma 5, Essence 3; Type: Simple.
Keywords: Combo-Basic, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Imposing Presence Attitude

This charm allows a Lunar to make a target forget everything that has recently happened to him. He rolls a standard Charisma + Presence attack; the target adds his Valor to his MDV, but if the Lunar beats that, the target forgets the last Essence x Charisma minutes of his life. He will be in a daze for a few moments, allowing the Lunar a chance to make a clean getaway.

Foe-Taunting Utterance
Cost: 5m, 1w; Mins: Manipulation 5, Essence 3; Type: Simple (Speed 5).
Keywords: Combo-OK, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Imposing Presence Attitude

This charm causes words to fail and peaceful discussion to fall by the wayside. The Lunar makes a biting remark and rolls Manipulation + Presence. The target adds his Temperance to his MDV, but if the Lunar succeeds, the target will immediately cease debate and roll to Join Battle, unless he spends a number of willpower points equal to his Conviction.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Any Charisma Excellency

Blood is Thicker
Cost: --; Mins: Charisma 4, Essence 2; Type: Permanent.
Keywords: --
Duration: --
Prerequisites: Protean Heart Method

Far from changing the Lunar's heart, this charm shores it up, creating an inviolable Intimacy to a bound packmate, or, alternately, to a single Solar; this provides a perfect defense against social attacks that target that Intimacy. This Intimacy can only be removed by the expenditure of a permanent point of Willpower, and this expenditure must be voluntary; it can never be coerced by any means.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Stackable, Social
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisites: Any Charisma Excellency
