Back to Shapeshifting Charms


Protean Form

  Cost: 2 motes
  Duration: One scene
  Type: Simple
  Minimum Totem: 3
  Minimum Essence: 2
  Prerequisite Charms: None

A Lunar may use this charm to perform a small number of basic changes to his physical makeup, each aimed at making the exalt better at performing some task. With each activation of this charm, the Lunar can activate one (and only one) of the following options:

  • The characters muscles become tense and efficient, better at carrying heavy lodes. You can double the characters strength for use with the Feats of Strength table and to determine how much the character can lift/carry.
  • The characters fingers become long, slender and he gains incredible coordination. He can convert a single dice of his Dexterity into an automatic success when performing delicate work that requires a deft hand.
  • The characters skin becomes hard, and somewhat numb. The Lunar gains +1L/+2B soak, and reduces wound penalities by one. The Lunar gains +4 dice to Endurance and Resistance related rolls caused by extended labour.

The above options are the only ones available to this charm, as only the most straightforward changes are so simple to perform. More advanced forms of shapeshifting are, instead, additional charms that branch off Protean Form.
