[2E] Lunar dice-adder cap??...

[Solfi]

... is determined by their Attributes according to the STC (been skimming it. With what little time I've been able to delegate to wonderful world of Ex2). What? Just plain Attributes? Or do they just get to buy massive amounts of Attribute dots dirt-cheap so they can dice-add the fuck out of their Charms? This seems a tad limiting...


... though I suppose if that limit is raised when the Lunar shapeshifts into his Pimpdaddy Monster Form [TM] (which I am pretty much assuming, since it is a True Form), I suppose that leaves a bit more leeway... but still. Am I reading this right?

 

[Spook]

just like 1E.

 

[Solfi]

It was? Damn... Well, to be honest, I've pretty much been ignoring the Lunars since reading through the Lunar fatsplat for 1E...

So have we all, but judging from the STC Lunars a getting a huge revamp.

Yeah, I did like the tone of the Lunars in the STC. However, if you (who obviously have a better grip of 1st Ed. Lunars) would touch on a couple of the more tangible changes, I'd be grateful.


... sidenote question (and this might be covered in the 2nd ed. Core. I've read it pretty sloppily thus far): In 1st. ed. Eclipse/Moonshadow Castes could not learn the shapeshift Charms of the Lunars, as they were "innate powers" or some such.  2nd. ed Lunars seem to emphasize the shapeshifting nature of (pretty much) all of their Charms. Thus, how does this affect the Eclipses/Moonshadows?

Probably fucks up their chances at learning them big time. I'd ask Jukashi, he's the resident Lunar man.

Pretty much ALL Lunar charms in 1E involved shapeshifting, and still Eclipses had only a limited number they were excluded from learning.

Basically they were just prevented from learning Finding The Spirit's Shape and Deadly Beastman Transformation, along with other Charms closely tied to those like Calling Luna's Favour. From what I can remember, anyway.
