Might-Bolstering Blow
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Stamina: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: None
Lunar Exaled are creatures of great power, who revel and grow stronger in their might. When an attack supplemented by this Charm hits a target, the Lunar receives 1 mote per extra success, to a maximum of his Stamina. If the attack also inflicts damage, the Lunar receives 1 mote per damage success, to a maximum of his Stamina. This cannot take the Lunar's Essence pool above its maximum. This attack must be a display of the Lunar's prowess to provide any return in Essence. If there is no challenge in hitting a target, there is no return from striking it, and killing a pillow in one blow will not garner the Lunar any motes.

Lion Roar Method
Cost: 5 motes
Duration: Indefinite
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Stamina: 4
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Might-Bolstering Blow
Using this Charm to expand his lungs and vocal cords, the Lunar can transform her normal voice into a formidable roar. Anything the Lunar says can be heard by anyone in (The Lunar's Essencex100 yards), and by those with acute hearing, twice that distance. The Lunar can use the Lion's Roar as a weapon by roaring at an individual within 10 yards as a Simple Action. The Target must make a Stamina+Endurance roll with a difficulty equal to his own Perception. If the target fails this roll, it loses a point of Perception and suffers dice of bashing damage equal to the Lunar's Stamina, minus his natural bashing soak. The dot of perception recovers after all the Bashing Damage is gone. This is a modification to the Lunar's vocal cords, and remains in effect for as long as the Lunar maintains the 5 motes committed. This Charm is a Gift and may be activated in when the Lunar shifts into a Hybrid Form. The Lunar commits 2 motes to have access this Charm's powers for the duration.

Subduing the Honored Foe
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Strength: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Lunars have no need to fight to the death, and sometimes a hunt is a sport undertaken only to know if the Lunar can catch his prey, without any desire to spill blood. When he wishes, the Lunar is just as able to knock his foes down as he is to destroy them. By means of Subduing the Honored Foe, the Lunar's damage becomes Bashing without any penalty for 'pulling his punches', will never cross over into Lethal, and a number of post-soak damage dice equal to the Lunar’s Essence are converted into automatic successes. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 1 mote, making all of the Lunar's attacks deal Bashing during the Fury, and to never cross over into Lethal.

Focus Shattering Shock
Cost: 2 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Strength: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Subduing the Honored Foe
Gathering strength and essence on his fist, the Lunar strikes with such incredible force that he disarranges the concentration of the enemy, breaking his focus and sending him in a wounded daze. Focus Shattering Shock supplements an attack - it adds the Lunar's Essence Rating to its damage, and if the Lunar rolls more damage successes than the opponent's Stamina attribute, he must make a successful Willpower roll with a difficulty equal to the Lunar’s Essence, or spend his next action shaking off disorientation from the attack.

Stance Breaking Strike
Cost: 5 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Strength: 3
Minimum Essence: 3
Prerequisite Charms: Focus-Shattering Shock
Lunars fight in a liquid and protean, and they can recognize their antithesis, the fixed, rigid concentrations of Essence that are combat stances. With this Charm, the Lunar's blows become shocks that send his foes staggering back, all concentration and grace lost. An enemy struck by Stance Breaking Strike must roll Dexterity+Athletics or Performance with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Strength, plus 1 per every health level dealt by the attack. On a success, he remains graceful, with a mere penalty equal to the Lunar's Essence to all actions for the remainer of the turn due to lack of balance(Charms such as Graceful Crane Stance may counteract this effect). On a failure, the shock shakes the foundations of the enemy's body, and he loses the benefit of a single Athletics, Martial Arts, Melee or Performance Charm he currently has active, chosen by the Lunar, and must take an action to activate it once again. Martial Arts Forms are the most ordered of Charm Stances, and thus, if the Lunar's opponent has a Martial Arts Form Charm active, it must be the one lost to this Charm. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 3 motes, enhancing all strikes with the possibility to break Stances.

Mighty Bull Sprint
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Strength: 2
Minimum Essence: 1
Prerequisite Charms: None
Nothing stops mighty bulls in the pastures of the East, and when they come upon obstacles such as trees, they just keep going, crushing the tree and pushing it in front of him as if he was pushing so much air. Rushing like a bull, the Lunar comes upon his foe and strikes with might force, pushing the enemy foward. The Lunar's strike knocks his foe back one yard for every dice of pre-soak damage. This does no damage by itself, but may do so if the Lunar's opponent falls from cliffs or suchlike. This Charm is a Rage and may be activated in tandem with Relentless Lunatic Fury for the cost of 2 motes, giving its benefits for the Duration.

Body Breaking Kata
Cost: 1 mote
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Strength: 2
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Mighty Bull Sprint
A charge of Essence meant to overwhelm and crush his foe, the Essence spent in this Charm manifests as a great nimbus in the shape of his Totem about the Lunar, obscuring his form, making him simply a powerful, deadly charging god-beast. An attack enhanced by Body Breaking Kata doubles the extra successes gathered by the Lunar, after defense and before soak is applied. Body Breaking Kata always does Lethal Damage.

Ferocious Biting Fang
Cost: 3 motes
Duration: Instant
Type: Supplemental
Minimum Strength: 3
Minimum Essence: 2
Prerequisite Charms: Body Breaking Kata
Blocking is a dangerous art, as one must interpose himself or his weapons against foes that may be much stronger than one's own limbs, risking having his weapon pulled away or his limbs ripped apart. Knowing this, a Lunar charges his strikes with essence, becoming so powerful that anything placed on his way is no less successful than water trying to stop a fist. Enemy weapons limbs are simply pushed aside in the force of this blow. The but the opponent's parry needs to roll 2 successes for each of the Lunar's own. An opponent struck by the Ferocious Biting Fang must make a Strength+Resistance roll with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Strength or be knocked to the ground, needing to take an action to clear his head and get up.

Shatter the Mold
Cost: 1 willpower, 1 health level
Duration: Instant
Type: Reflexive
Minimum Strength: 5
Minimum Essence: 5
Prerequisite Charms: Stance Breaking Strike, Ferocious Biting Fang
Usually, a creature must know exactly how much strength to place in a blow, moving with his whole body's weight and his muscle's pressure behind his strikes to damage his foe. A shapeshifter, however, has no such limitations - upon striking a foe with any strength he desires, he suddenly sends a surge of essence, strength and pressure, the connecting limb swirling with rushing fury like a wrathful wave traveling through calm waters, sending the weight of a thousand blows into the enemy's body. Using this Charm, the Lunar may make use of any of its prerequisite Charms reflexively, after striking his foe. This secondary charm activation is countained within the activation of Shatter the Mold. It fully circumvents the need for movement in Charms such as Body-Breaking Kata.
