Body Weapon Technique
Cost: None Duration: Permanent Type: Special Minimum Strength: 2 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: None
The bodies of the Lunar Exalted are far stronger and capable of inflicting much more harrowing punishment on their foes than those of mortals. Every time a Lunar purchases this charm he gains a +1 natural bonus to his Strength, and increases the base damage of all his unarmed attacks. All of the Lunars base unarmed attacks, including his Fist and Kick, gain a +1B damage modifer as if the character was wielding a weapon. The character may purchase this charm a number of times equal to his Strength, each purchase increasing the characters Strength rating and the unarmed damage he inflicts in combat.
Crushing Coils
Cost: 2 motes per point Duration: Indefinite Type: Simple Minimum Strength: 1 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: None
The Lunar who uses this charm utilizes his body mass to the utmost extent, strengthening his muscles with essence to add greatly to his power without increasing his bulk at all. Every two motes spent activating this charm gives the Lunar a +1 natural bonus to his strength for as long as he keeps the essence commited, up to a maximum of doubling his strength bonus. In addition, the Lunars unarmed attacks inflict lethal damage and he can parry lethal attacks barehanded without the necessity of a stunt.
Thousand Bull Fury
Cost: 1 mote per die Duration: Instant Type: Supplemental Minimum Strength: 2 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: Crushing Coils
A Lunar with this charm attacks with the unstoppable force of a thousand onrushing bulls, his blows as difficult to avoid as a stampede of onrushing cattle. Every mote spent activating this charm adds one bonus die to a Strength or Dexterity + Brawl roll for a hand-to-hand attack roll, or any Clinch roll. The bonus added cannot be greater than the Lunar's Strength.
Stone-Tearing Method
Cost: 1 mote per two successes Duration: Instant Type: Simple Minimum Strength: 3 Minimum Essence: 2 Prerequisite Charms: Crushing Coils
A Lunar using this charm makes a normal attack roll against an inanimate object, dealing it a devestating blow that can easily rip apart the heaviest stone walls or tear massive holes in the middle of buildings. The Lunar makes the attack roll against the inanimate object as normal, but adds two automatic successes per point of essence spent on this charm. These automatic successes are added after the damage from the attack is rolled, and bypass the soak of the item. Some first age structures and materials are so impressively built that they resist this charm, in which case the charm only adds 2 points of raw damage per mote. The character cannot spend more motes to power this charm than his Strength.
