LUNAR HERO STYLE
This supernatural martial art comes naturally to the
Lunar Exalted. Although it is a complete style, Lunars (and
their players) may design custom Charms that bridge off of
this style. (See the expansion Charms on pp. 151-152 for
examples.) Other Exalted may not.
Lunar Hero Style is best practiced only with natural
weapons. Lunar Exalted often use the claws, teeth, hooves
or horns of the Deadly Beastman Transformations with it,
but other Exalted rarely have that capability. Practitioners
may emulate this with tiger claws, even to the point of being
usable with Charms.
Practitioners other than Lunars substitute their Martial
Arts rating for the Dexterity requirements for this style.
This does not extend to any Lunar Charms outside this
style: Eclipse and Moonshadow Caste Exalted must still
possess the minimum Dexterity requirement to learn Lunar
Charms that branch off from this basic tree.


FOOT-TRAPPING COUNTER
Cost: 4m; Mins: Dexterity 3, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK, Compulsion
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
Combat does not end until the Lunar allows it. Using his
intimidating demeanor, the Lunar inflicts a compulsion effect
on all opponents within ( Dexterity ) yards that can see him.
This compulsion prevents any opponent from moving directly away
from the character, which may be resisted for 1 Willpower. In
addition, Foot-Trapping Counter also adds the Lunar's (Ess) to
his Join Battle pool if used at the beginning of a fight.


RABID BEAST ATTITUDE
Cost: 3m; Mins: Dexterity 4, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Foot-Trapping Counter
The Lunar pounces upon his prey, attacking and mauling it in throes
of the hunt. This charm allows the Lunar to make a free reflexive
Dash or Leap action at his unmodified speed towards a single opponent.
If the attack hits he may make a Clinch attack, adding the number of yards
traveled in automatic successes, at a maximum equal to his Dexterity.


THOUSAND CLAW INFLICTION
Cost: 1m; Mins: Dexterity 3, Essence 2; Type: Refl exive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Until Next Action
Prerequisite Charms: Foot-Trapping Counter
Only the Lunar’s skill limits him, not the restrictions
of capability. The character’s unarmed attacks each use his last attack
position, defeating normal limits on the weapon. Activating
this Charm allows the character to treat all Rate values as
infinite until his next action.


LUNAR HERO FORM
Cost: 6m; Mins: Dexterity 4, Essence 2;
Type: Simple (Speed 5)
Keywords: Form-type, Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Rabid Beast Attitude, Thousand Claw Infliction
Drawing the Essence of Luna into her, the Exalt becomes
an endlessly fluid warrior, seamlessly flowing from
one movement to the next and capable of surprising her
targets with every blow. The character reduces her multiple
action  penalties by an equal number to any wound penalties
she may be suffering at the time (even if she is using charms
to ignore or negate those penalties), or her Essence (which ever
is lower). All coordinated attacks lead by the Lunar also
double the penalty inflicted on the target's DVs.


ARMOR-RENDING CLAW FIST
Cost: 4m; Mins: Dexterity 4, Essence 3;
Type: Simple (Speed 5)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Lunar Hero Form
With either a single swipe or a flurry of blows, the
Lunar’s attack mangles joints and locks limbs in place.
This attack target’s a foe’s armor, rather than the person wearing it.
If successful, all mundane armor crumples inwards, multiplying
both fatigue and mobility penalties by the Lunar's Essence and
causing one Lethal damage to the wearer every time her DVs refresh,
which may be soaked with their natural soak. The armor remains
damaged this way until repaired; armor constructed from the
magical materials only triple their mobility and fatigue penalties
(or suffer penalties to both equal to the Lunar's Essence if they have
no mobility or fatigue penalties) until the end of the scene.


CROUCHING TIGER STANCE
Cost: 4m; Mins: Dexterity 5, Essence 3;
Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Counterattack
Duration: Until next action
Prerequisite Charms: Armor-Rending Claw Fist
To strike a Lunar is to taunt a tiger. Dropping into a low,
threatening stance, the character becomes more difficult to
strike. All attacks upon him lose a number of dice equal to
the Lunar's (Essence). In addition, when the Lunar successfully
dodges or parries any close combat attack, he may launch a
counterattack against the attacker.


DUST DEVIL ADVANCE
Cost: 3m 1wp; Mins: Dexterity 5, Essence 3;
Type: Reflexive (Step 6)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Lunar Hero Form
Using this charm, the Lunar becomes a whirling killing machine,
constantly moving and attacking, ever aware of his surroundings
and unable to be cornered or surrounded. While using this charm
the Lunar must move at least a number of yards equal to his
unmodified Dexterity, or the Charm cancels it's self. As long
as he keeps moving he ignores all penalties from Onslaught and
Coordinated Attacks, and instead adds them to his DVs. These bonuses
are lost when the Lunar's DV refreshes.


RUNNING THROUGH THE HERD
Cost: 4m, 1wp; Mins: Dexterity 5, Essence 3;
Type: Reflexive (Step 2)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Counterattack
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Dust Devil Advance
In a combination of leading the attack, fooling her
attacker and quickly dodging out of the way, the Lunar
redirects an attack on her person toward someone else.
The Lunar must be aware of the attack, which must have
another valid target within (Dexterity) yards of the attack.
The Lunar’s player rolls (Dexterity + Athletics) at
a diffi culty of the attacker’s Perception. Success indicates
that she redirects that attack, with all of its successes and
effects, at another valid target of her choice. That attack
then plays out as normal. If Running Through the Herd fails
to redirect the attack, then the Lunar's ally gains a bonus
to his DVs static value equal to the Lunar's unmodified Dexterity
until the Lunar's DV refreshes.


TERRIBLE WOLVERINE ONSLAUGHT
Cost: 5m, 1wp, lhl; Mins: Dexterity 5, Essence 4;
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Obvious
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: Crouching Tiger Stance, Running
Through the Herd
After activating this Charm, the character becomes a
ravenous, unstoppable beast. The character’s move and dash
actions triple in distance after modifiers, and the player
reduces penalties to all Dexterity related actions by his Essence.
On the Lunar's action, all enemies who can see or hear him must
must roll Willpower at a difficulty equal to the Lunar's Essence or
take an internal penalty to their actions equal to Essence for the
rest of the scene.
