Pursuit
Primordial Hunter Speed
Cost: 5+ motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Dexterity: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
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). The Lunar may not have more Sprints active than half his Essence, rounded down. If used in conjunction with the Full Moon anima power or other such effects, the multipliers are stacked - a Full Moon Lunar with his Anima activated and benefitting from a single Sprint would move and leap at three times his normal rate.
Panther Leap Technique
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Refleixve
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Primordial Hunter Speed
The Lunar shifts her legs into that of a hunting panther, leaping and climbing with trivial ease!
This Charm is used to augment a leap by the Lunar and triples her leaping distances. The character can leap and still attack.
White Demon Pounce
Cost: None
Duration: Instant
Type: Special
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Panther Leap Technique
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.
This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, allowing the Lunar to add 1 to the base damage of their attacks for every 4 yards traveled - in all manner of movement - prior to any attack, to a maximum of their Strength+Athlects. Those benefits remain for the entirety of the Rage's duration.
Foot-Trapping Counter
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Dexterity: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Primordial Hunter Speed
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.
Furious Hound Pursuit
Cost: 5 motes
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Perception: 4
Minimum Essence: 4
Prerequisite Charms: Foot-Trapping Counter
Once a Lunar chooses her prey, it cannot escape. The Lunar designates a single target which she must have seen within the last hour. Shaping herself into the most peerless of predators her Movement Rating - Running or Sprinting - becomes one yard greater than her quarry if that is greater than the Lunar's normal movement and adds a number of successes equal to her Essence Score in any athletics roll to overcome obstacles between herself and her quarry.
In long-distance movement the Lunar constantly moves one mile more than the quarry per day. If the quarry uses any charms to enhance her movement the Lunar receives their benefit as well. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, allowing the Lunar to receive its benefits for the Rage's duration - she can designate a new target for the Pursuit at the start of every turn.
Pack and Flock Guidance
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Dexterity: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Primordial Hunter Speed
This Charm permanently enhances long movement-enhancing charms such as Primordial Hunter Speed - 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, such as Furious Hound Pursuit above.
Mole Hands Technique
Cost: 6 motes
Duration: One Scene
Type: Simple
Minimum Strength: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
Some creatures may escape the hunt by burying under the ground, but a Lunar Hunter is able to adapt to all possible contingencies and manifest the abilities of all of Creation's predators in pursuit of her foe! Activating this Charm the Lunar shapes her fingers into long Moonsilver talons, sinew and bone throughout her body perfected for a single task - to dig. For the remainder of the Scene the Lunar is able to dig through the Earth (Any material softer than solid stone) at half her Movement Speed.
The tunnels can remain in place or collapse in her wake as the Lunar prefers.
The Talons function in all ways like the Talons Mutation.
Terraserpent's Might
Cost: None
Duration: Permanent
Type: Special
Minimum Strength: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Mole Hands Technique
Adopting the might of the Terraserpent the Lunar hones her talons into jagged implements of the hardest adamant coursing with Earth-Aspected Essence, her entire body adopting a serpentine mien of barely-countained Elemental Fury! Terraserpent's Might enhances the use of Mole Hands Technique - the Lunar can spend 1 Willpower when enacting that Charm to add her Essence Rating to the Talon's damage and become able to burrow through anything not made of the Five Magical Materials.
Deadly Antlion Trap
Cost: 10 motes, 1 willpower
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Simple
Minimum Strength: 4
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Terraserpent's Might
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.
