Impressions of Strength [REWRITE]
Cost: 2m, Mins: Strength 3, Essence 2, Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fury-OK, Merged (Perception: Illimitable Precision Strike
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Strength Excellency
The Lunar Exalted possess unparalleled raw power. This charm supplements an attack, providing up to [Essence] Edge activations. If an Edge is marked with an asterisk, it may be applied multiple times, up to [Essence/2] at once.
Ogre's Loving Caress: (Unchanged)
Rock-to-Pebbles Attitude*: (Unchanged)
Undeniable Might*: (Unchanged)
Birth of Flight: The Lunar's blows are unstoppable. She is considered to have dealt enough damage to knock an opponent back as long as she does not miss. She knocks them back two yards for every die of pre-soak damage [with a minimum knockback of Essence x2 yards], unless they succeed at a roll vs knockback at +Strength difficulty. If they hit a solid obstacle that impedes their progress, they and the obstacle both take one unsoakable die of bashing damage for every yard they could not continue moving.
Mighty Ram Practice: (Unchanged)
Unstoppable Lunar Wound (Minimum Essence 3)*: (As per the charm on p145)
Shell-Crushing Atemi: (As per the charm on p145)
Burrowing Devil Strike (Minimum Essence 3, requires Shell-Crushing Atemi to learn): (As per the charm on p145)
Consumptive Worm Hungers (Minimum Essence 3, requires Burrowing Devil Strike to learn): (As per the charm on p145)
This charm provides two Edges when first purchased. Additional edges may be purchased for 6xp apiece unless otherwise noted. When in Fury, the Lunar may select one Edge to apply to all attacks, or activate Impressions of Strength for the regular cost, increasing that to (Essence) edges, as a non-charm action.
New Impressions of Strength Edge: Stalking Panther Pounce
Minimum Ess 4
Edge effect: Double the pre-soak damage of an unexpected attack. Alternately, spend 1wp to double the post-roll damage successes of an unexpected attack.
Den-Burrowing Assistance
Cost: --, Mins: Strength 4, Essence 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Impressions of Strength (Birth of Flight)
Striking with an overhead blow, the Lunar drives her opponent into the ground. When she makes an attack using Birth of Flight, her opponent is knocked down rather than back. If he fails his check, he takes lethal damage rather than bashing, and is pounded directly into the ground.
Infinite Raging Violence
<b>Cost: -- (+2m), Mins: Strength 3, Essence 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Impressions of Strength
This charm augments its' prerequisite. Impressions of Strength may now be activated as a Reflexive (Step 7) charm with a Duration of One Action for a 2m surcharge. This means all Edges apply for the entirety of a flurry's attacks, and the cost need not be paid until an attack reaches Step 7 of combat resolution. However, as an exception to normal charm timing, the character must declare that she has the option of activating it in this way [so as to let her enemies know, step 2 perfects would be wise to use].
Quicksilver Lunar Blade
Cost: -- (+1-3m), Mins: Str 4, Ess 2; Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Claws of the Silver Moon
The malleable nature of the Stewards does not limit them to claws and teeth; a Lunar swordsman may wield a blade as readily as a talon. By committing an additional mote when activating Claws of the Silver Moon, the Lunar may gain the modifiers to any one-handed weapon they wield. By committing an additional three motes, the modifiers may enhance any two-handed weapon as well. The silvery essence coalesces and flows along the striking or cutting edge of the weapon, trailing silvery light behind them.
Hidden Moon Blades
Cost: --, Mins: Strength 3, Wits 5, Essence 4, Type: Permanent
Keywords: Illusion
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Claws of the Silver Moon, The Spider's Trap Door
This charm permanently augments Claws of the Silver Moon. Claws of the Silver Moon sheds the Obvious tag, and acquires an Illusion; the character appears unarmed and harmless, thus, injuries she inflicts must come from some other source. This costs 3wp to resist; the cost drops to 2wp if she makes an unexpected attack [even if the unexpected quality is removed from the attack], and costs nothing for the target to resist if she makes a normal attack without any pretext of guile. Against those who have not resisted, this charm grants two automatic successes on any roll to reestablish surprise.
In its' Gift form, this charm fails to function unless the Lunar has taken efforts to make her war form less monstrous, such as through the use of Perfected Hybrid Interaction specifically for that purpose, or other disguise charms to make her war form unremarkable.
Feats of Strength Charms
Titan-Blade Might
Cost: -- (+2m), Mins: Strength 5, Ess 3, Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Tearing Claw Atemi
This Charm augments the Lunar's abilities; she may halve the minimum Strength requirement for any actual weapon she wields. Improvised weapons are unaffected. Any penalty explicitly based on size rather than weight (such as a medium concussive essence cannon's) remains.
At Essence 4, this charm improves; the Lunar may reflexively spend 2m as a noncharm action to ignore the +5 Str+Ath total requirement for throwing an object. Any object she can lift, she can fling.
At Essence 5, this charm may be purchased a second time; for the reflexive cost of 2m per action, the Lunar may ignore any penalties a weapon expressly causes based on its' size, so long as she may lift it [by whatever means]. A tusk torn from Isidoros, despite being as long as a whale, imposes no penalty upon the Steward driving it into his chest.
