Arynne · Oct 10, 2021

Name: Quill
Caste: No Moon
Spirit Shape: Great horned owl
Tell: Round golden eyes
Anima: Owl eyes glow out of darkness

A No Moon Lunar may attune her Essence to that of the new moon. She must spend at least one mote of Essence, and may spend up to twice her permanent Essence in motes. In doing so, she gains a shadowy penumbra that causes attackers who cannot see through darkness to suffer a -1 external penalty. This aura amplifies the occult power of the Lunar for the remainder of the scene, allowing her to reduce the cost of all Charms that explicitly require an Occult roll by one per mote of Essence used to power her anima, though the cost of a Charm cannot be reduced by more than half. This aura also allows her to reduce the Essence cost of all spells cast for the rest of the scene by one per mote of Essence initially invested in her anima, but the cost of a spell cannot be reduced by more than half.

Whenever the Lunar has 11 or more motes of Peripheral Essence active, this anima effect activates automatically at full strength (or increases if originally activated at a lower power) without cost. The No Moon is just as obvious as any other flaring Lunar, but the light springs from the silver edge of her anima and the shadow within remains. She is treated as having spent twice her permanent Essence for purposes of Charm and spell cost reduction and retains the protection of the penumbra.

Virtue Flaw:
THE CURSE OF THE HEARTLESS WEASEL
The character becomes a creature of pure selfishness. He ignores the needs, feelings or very survival of others, and does not consider how his actions may impact those around him.
The Heartless Weasel has no mercy, and he will slaughter innocents who impede him as surely as his enemies. The character may not expend effort or take risk in order to help another. He may flee if threatened, though he will do nothing to help his comrades who are left behind.
Partial Control: The character spares the lives of his friends, even if they anger him. After all, they may be useful to him later. Nonetheless, he will happily fleece them for money and whatever else strikes his fancy.
Tattoo Artifact ●●(Moonsilver Hearthstone Bracer)
Manse ●●●(Gem of White Heat)

This translucent, red-orange dodecahedron grants another Essence user the ability to surround herself with an aura of fire identical to a Fire-aspected Terrestrial Exalt’s anima power. Fire-aspected Dragon-Blooded who use this stone add this damage to the normal damage done by their anima power.
Producing this imitation anima banner costs Essence. Double the number of motes the character spends, however, to find the intensity of the flaming aura conferred by the hearthstone. (Of course, the Essence expenditure may well trigger the character’s own anima as well.)

Heart's Blood ●●
Anima
A Changing Moon can spend 10 motes of Essence to craft an illusion that allows him to appear as any one person he knows. This trick lasts for a scene, and comes complete with voice and smells. The imagery is accompanied by the perception of trustworthiness, lending bonus dice equal to the character’s permanent Essence to any social action that such an aura assists. If the Lunar’s anima banner activates at any level, however, its light pierces the illusion, and his tattoos may become visible. This dispels the illusion, but bathes the Changing Moon in an array of ever-shifting shadows and silver light that make him difficult to see clearly. Add the Lunar’s Essence to the difficulty of any effort to discern his identity by sight, assuming that the investigator did not see him before the activation of his anima banner.
Once the Lunar expends 11 or more motes of Peripheral Essence, this anima effect activates automatically without cost. Since the Changing Moon’s anima banner is active at this point, the anima effect automatically results in shifting light and shadows.

Knacks

Prerequisites: Essence 2, Stamina 3
This Knack teaches a character the proper ritual to begin
a sacred hunt for smaller animals. Normally, a Lunar cannot master a shape smaller than a housecat. Now, creatures as small as a mouse become valid targets for the blood hunt. The hunt typically takes about half as long for creatures of this size. This Knack expands the range of possible spirit shapes for a starting character.

Prerequisites: Essence 2, Appearance 3
This Knack enables the Lunar to take the form of another human (or basically human creature). She develops an instinctive understanding of the different sacred hunt necessary to make humans valid targets of the hunt. Taking on a false human shape costs a point of Willpower.
The base time of the hunt is half a day, during which time the character studies the person’s habits and nature, absorbing them the same way she will steal the person’s body. Some Lunars watch their victims covertly during the process; others hunt the target viciously, tormenting him and studying his reactions until the final blow. The latter method is faster but more difficult to perform in high-population areas. Either way, it’s murder (unless the Lunar has Life of the Hummingbird and merely takes a person’s shape temporarily). Taking a human’s Heart’s Blood triggers a Compassion roll in any character with Compassion 3 or greater, and each success adds one point of Limit to the Lunar’s total, no matter what his dominant Virtue may be.
Lunars pursue human forms for many reasons: Having even a single human false form is useful when one’s true form becomes dangerous and an animal shape is inappropriate. Some human forms are useful for their identities—becoming Great Forks’ Minister of Lore is a significant advantage.

Excellencies
Third Appearance Excellency
First Manipulation Excellency

Appearance

Cost: 3m; Mins: Appearance 2, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-OK, Illusion
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any Appearance Excellency
Although one water buffalo can tell itself apart from another, a watching predator cannot do so. They see only differences in function—which is the most dangerous, and which are old or sick. Activating this Charm, the character’s face looks like everyone around her. Perception rolls to pick the character out

Cost: 4m; Mins: Appearance 3, Essence 2; Type: Simple Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any Appearance Excellency
In nature, creatures that appear more symmetrical are considered more fit to survive, better mates and therefore more attractive. Calling on her Essence, the Lunar gives herself an air of impossible perfection, doubling the maximum Mental Defense Value bonus or penalty she can inflict or benefit from based on difference in Appearance. At Essence 6, the Exalt does away with the limit altogether.

Manipulation

Cost: 3m; Mins: Manipulation 3, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Manipulation Excellency Lunars are skilled at misdirection, and they are subtle socialites. This Charm supplements any social attack and makes it difficult to notice. Characters using this Charm say something unthreatening and unrelated to relevant
topics in such a way that it elicits the proper response to the intended attack. Players of characters targeted by Falling Leaf Distraction Technique may make (Perception + Investigation) rolls at a difficulty equal to the Lunar’s ([Manipulation + Socialize] ÷ 2) for their characters to notice the attack’s source. Characters recognize they are being convinced of something but generally chalk it up to changing their own minds if they cannot find another cause.
Lunar Exalted use this Charm to conceal social at- tacks in innocent conversation, oration or even musical performances.

Cost: 2m; Mins: Manipulation 3, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Manipulation Excellency
Lunar Exalted are master dissemblers. When someone takes an action opposed by a difficulty or a roll based on the character’s Manipulation, such as trying to read the character’s intentions or motivations, the character may activate this Charm to make that action automatically fail. When the opponent’s action is supported by a Charm, the character must spend an additional point of Willpower to activate Mask of White Jade.
Multiple characters might use (Perception + Investigation) to detect a lie or deception from the Lunar. When that happens, the Lunar need not activate this Charm multiple times; one activation suffices to make the character unreadable to all observers for a single lie or deception.

Cost: 2m; Mins: Manipulation 2, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK, Illusion, Stackable Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Any Manipulation Excellency
Such is the subtlety of the Lunar Exalted that they may openly bear the regalia of their station without drawing undue notice. This Charm enchants an obviously magical object the Lunar carries (such as an artifact or hearthstone), making it appear to
be a wholly mundane object. A daiklave seems to be merely a large sword, while a Seven Leaping Dragon Stone appears to be an unassuming bead. This Charm may explicitly be used to make a Lunar’s moonsilver tattoos appear to be ordinary tattoos. This unnatural mental influence costs one Willpower to resist. The Charm must be invoked individually for each object the Lunar wishes to disguise, and Willpower must also be spent on a per-object basis.

Wishlist:

Cost: 5m; Mins: Manipulation 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple (4 long ticks)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Illusion, Social Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any Manipulation Excellency Lunar Exalted can be manipulative bastards. With just a word or a well-timed phrase, the character convinces a person or people that one thing they believe is factually incorrect. The Charm won’t affect general, emotional attitudes (such as an Intimacy for Lookshy) but can counter specific beliefs (such as
thinking Lookshy’s alliance with Marukan is a good thing). The Lunar’s player rolls (Manipulation + [Presence or Performance]). Any targets of this Charm whose Mental Defense Values are less than the number of successes on the roll maintain this belief for the rest of the scene. Shak- ing off this unnatural mental influence costs two points of Willpower. The Lunar’s player selects the belief to invert. When using this Charm on many targets at once, it does not affect anyone who does not hold the targeted belief in the first place. The Lunar cannot affect a group whose Magnitude
exceeds (his Essence - 1).

Stamina

Cost: 6m; Mins: Stamina 4, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: None
Stewards may guard even the farthest, least-hospitable reaches of Creation without discomfort. (Directional) Mas- tery Technique is actually five Charms. Each Charm defines a category of environmental damage to which the Lunar is immune. The Charms are based upon the five directions:
• South: The character may walk through natural and magical flames without pain. Fire does not burn her clothing. Extreme heat does not harm her. She never feels uncomfortably hot, only pleasantly warm. In sandstorms, particles do not even get stuck in her clothing.

Virtue Flaw:
THE CURSE OF THE LONE WOLF
The character needs no one. He feels no fear, and doesn't respect others. The Lone Wolf does not wait for help before wading into combat, and he doesn't share the glory for success. He feels nothing but contempt for "the pack" and will always proceed without waiting for others to catch up.
Partial Control: The character is without fear, but not without sense. He can flee if tactically advisable and needn't rush heedlessly into battle. However, if he chooses to join the fight, he will ignore efforts of his supposed allies and act as though he were the only one fighting on his side.
Artifact ●● (Moonsilver Reaper Daiklave (Spd 4, Acc +6, Dam +4L/2, Def +3, Rate 3, Tags: O))
Artifact ●● (Moonsilver Reinforced Breastplate (Soak +10L/9B, Hard 8L/8B, Mobility -0, Fatigue 0, Attune 4))
Heart's Blood ●●● (11-20. Black housecat, Tyrant Lizard, Camel, lioness, Strangler's Serpent, coral snake, falcon, Strix, Blue heron. Paragon bureacrat. Chiaroscuro caravaneer. Bride of Ahlat. Nexus Guildsman. Ysyrian slave. Deep desert tribeswoman.)
Anima
Full Moons may spend five motes of Essence to double their speed and leaping distances for a scene. The Full Moon also doubles her Strength for the purpose of feats of strength. This effect stacks with other increases, but only by adding a factor equal to the original value, not continuing to multiply by two. A Lunar who increases her running speed twice moves at three times her normal speed, not four.
Whenever the Lunar has 11 or more motes of Peripheral Essence active, this Anima Effect activates automatically without cost.

ANIMA EFFECTS
All castes of Lunar Exalted can channel Essence directly through their animas to produce magical effects. Every Lunar Exalted can use her caste’s anima power without special training.
In addition, any Lunar Exalt can spend a single mote of Essence to:
• Cause her caste mark and tattoos to glow brightly for a scene (as if the character has spent four to seven motes of Peripheral Essence).
• Cause her anima to glow brightly enough to read by for a scene (as if the character has spent eight to 10 motes of Peripheral Essence).
• Cause her Tell to become unmistakable and impossible to miss for a Tell.
• Know the precise day of the lunar month, the phase of the moon and the time of day for the rest of the scene.

Anima Effects: A Changing Moon can spend 10 motes of Essence to craft an illusion that allows him to appear as any one person he knows. This trick lasts for a scene, and comes complete with voice and smells. The imagery is accompanied by the perception of trustworthiness, lending bonus dice equal to the character’s permanent Essence to any social action that such an aura assists. If the Lunar’s anima banner activates at any level, however, its light pierces the illusion, and his tattoos may become visible.

Once the Lunar expends 11 or more motes of Peripheral Essence, this anima effect activates automatically without cost. Since the Changing Moon’s anima banner is active at this point, the anima effect automatically results in shifting light and shadows.

The Great Curse
The Curse of the Heartless Weasel
The character becomes a creature of pure selfishness. He ignores the needs, feelings or very survival of others, and does not consider how his actions may impact those around him. The Heartless Weasel has no mercy, and he will slaughter innocents who impede him as surely as his enemies. The character may not expend effort or take risk in order to help another. He may flee if threatened, though he will do nothing to help his comrades who are left behind.
Partial Control: The character spares the lives of his friends, even if they anger him. After all, they may be useful to him later. Nonetheless, he will happily fleece them for money and whatever else strikes his fancy.
Form Acquisition Knacks - Animal

Prerequisites: Essence 2, Stamina 3
This Knack teaches a character the proper ritual to begin a sacred hunt for smaller animals. Normally, a Lunar cannot master a shape smaller than a housecat. Now, creatures as small as a mouse become valid targets for the blood hunt. The hunt typically takes about half as long for creatures of this size. This Knack expands the range of possible spirit shapes for a starting character.

Prerequisites: Humble Mouse Shape, Essence 3, Stamina 4
A character with this Knack can become the literal fly on the wall. Creatures as small as the typical housefly become valid targets for the blood hunt (though some Lunars feel a bit silly spending six hours stalking an insect).

Form Acquisition Knacks - Human

Prerequisites: Essence 2, Appearance 3
This Knack enables the Lunar to take the form of another human (or basically human creature). She develops an instinctive understanding of the different sacred hunt necessary to make humans valid targets of the hunt. Taking on a false human shape costs a point of Willpower. The base time of the hunt is half a day, during which time the character studies the person’s habits and nature, absorbing them the same way she will steal the person’s body.
Some Lunars watch their victims covertly during the process; others hunt the target viciously, tormenting him and studying his reactions until the final blow. The latter method is faster but more difficult to perform in high-population areas. Either way, it’s murder (unless the Lunar has Life of the Hummingbird and merely takes a person’s shape temporarily). Taking a human’s Heart’s Blood triggers a Compassion roll in any character with Compassion 3 or greater, and each success adds one point of Limit to the Lunar’s total, no matter what his dominant Virtue may be.
Lunars pursue human forms for many reasons: Having even a single human false form is useful when one’s true form becomes dangerous and an animal shape is inappropriate. Some human forms are useful for their identities—becoming Great Forks’ Minister of Lore is a significant advantage.
Finally, different human forms may have access to different resources. Stealing a wealthy merchant’s form gives the character a lot of money to throw around, and becoming a friendly socialite comes with a host of contacts and allies. Lunar Exalted may benefit from these stolen Backgrounds temporarily, but they require effort to maintain—otherwise, the investments dry up, and friends forget about the person who is no longer often around.
Exalted and other human creatures may have Charms and other powers of their own. Taking on one’s form through the sacred hunt does not give the Lunar access to any of their Essence-based powers. Taking a Lunar’s form in this way provides only the Lunar’s human true form, not the spirit shape or any other form the victim might know. For that, a character needs Taste of Luna’s Champions.

Shapeshifting Refinement Knacks

Prerequisites: Essence 3, Wits 3
Not all Lunar Exalted are bound to their gender. This Knack enables a character to transcend gender, becoming either a male or female rendition of any form she dons. This includes her true forms. Both genders are fully functional in all ways—she may sire or bear children, for example. The character makes the choice to shift gender as she changes shape, or she may spend the full Essence cost to change into a shape she already wears, just to shift gender. Some Lunars prefer a perfectly neuter shape, which this Knack also makes possible.

Dexterity Charms

Cost: 1m per die; Mins: (Attribute) 1, Essence 1;
Type: Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, Step 2 for defender)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
Some Lunar Exalted excel at using their natural talents. The Exalt’s player can invoke this Charm when making a roll based on the relevant Attribute. This Charm adds one die to that roll per mote spent. This Charm is the most common source of dice added to rolls; no combination of Charms can add more than (Attribute) dice to the roll.
This Charm can also enhance unrolled uses of the relevant Attribute. Common examples of this are increasing Defense Values with the Dexterity Excellency, climbing the Feat of Strength chart with the Strength Excellency or increasing alcohol Tolerance with the Stamina Excellency. When enhancing a static value, each success rolled with dice from this Excellency increases the effective relevant Attribute by two for an instant. Thus, one success increases Defense Value by one.
This Excellency, other Excellencies and other dice-adding Charms cannot “create” actions. They may supplement existing actions or increase static values that are already in use. Each Charm use also functions only for a single instant or task—the Charm supplements a single attack or defense but must be activated multiple times for multiple attacks or defenses, even on the same tick.
Essence Overwhelming may be Comboed with the Second Excellency, but can never be used on the same roll as the Third Excellency.

Cost: 2m+, 1wp; Mins: (Attribute) 4, Essence 3;
Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any (Attribute) Excellency
Lunar Exalted find ways to become perfectly in touch with their natures. Every two motes spent when activating this Charm reduces the mote cost for the first three (Attribute) Excellencies by one, to a minimum of 0. A Lunar can spend up to (Essence x 2) motes on this Charm. The discount applies to the total expenditure on Excellencies relating to a given roll. In all other ways, Instinctive (Attribute) Unity works the same as the Solars’ Infinite (Ability) Mastery (see Exalted, pp. 185-186).

Appearance Charms
Disguise Charms

Cost: 2m; Mins: Appearance 2, Essence 1; Type: Reflexive
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: None
This very basic Charm allows the Lunar Exalted to conceal any distinctive marks they might have, including their protective moonsilver tattoos. With just a second of concentration, any of the tattoos, scars or blemishes the character desires fade completely into the Lunar’s body, where they cannot be detected by sight or touch. (Supernatural senses still reveal them.) They remain hidden as long as the character commits the necessary Essence.

Wits Charms

Cost: 1m per die; Mins: (Attribute) 1, Essence 1;
Type: Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, Step 2 for defender)
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
Some Lunar Exalted excel at using their natural talents. The Exalt’s player can invoke this Charm when making a roll based on the relevant Attribute. This Charm adds one die to that roll per mote spent. This Charm is the most common source of dice added to rolls; no combination of Charms can add more than (Attribute) dice to the roll.

Each Charm use also functions only for a single instant or task—the Charm supplements a single attack or defense but must be activated multiple times for multiple attacks or defenses, even on the same tick.
Essence Overwhelming may be Comboed with the Second Excellency, but can never be used on the same roll as the Third Excellency.

Concealment Charms

Cost: 4m; Mins: Wits 4, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, Illusion
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Wits Excellency
Lunar Exalted are masters at concealing the truth. This Charm supplements any action (usually dramatic) to conceal something, whether it is a (Wits + Survival) action to hide from animals, (Wits + Stealth) to set up an ambush, (Wits + Investigation) to hide evidence or others. The concealed object becomes undetectable by any Awareness rolls using mortal senses.
By committing the Essence spent on this Charm, the character may attach an illusion effect. Any person who comes near suffers an unnatural mental attack with a number of successes equal to those rolled for concealment plus the Lunar’s Essence. Those whose Mental Defense Values are less than this value see the area as completely undisturbed and empty, even if they look exactly where the object rests. People who break through this mental influence must still find the object in order to see it.

Cost: 3m; Mins: Wits 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: The Spider’s Trap Door
When necessary, the Lunar can make something disappear in an instant. This Charm is a Wits-based action to conceal something, making it possible to do so in scant seconds instead of the several minutes such an action usually requires.

Cost: 2m; Mins: Wits 3, Essence 3; Type: Simple (Speed 5)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Touch
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisite Charms: Thieving Magpie Prana
Occasionally, a Lunar must hide something where no one else can find it. Holding any object the character can lift with one hand, he invokes this Charm, and the object disappears into Elsewhere. For smaller objects, Lunars tuck them inside cloaks or pockets to conceal use of this Charm. Because the object is not actually on his person, it cannot be found by any natural means. Withdrawing the item is a miscellaneous action.
A character can “pocket” no more items in this way than his Essence. Should the character release the Essence committed to an item (or items)
hidden in this way, the item falls to the ground at his side.

Wrackstaff
Spd 4, Acc +4, Dam +4L, +4 Def, Rate 3
Spd 4, Acc +4, Dam +12B, +4 Def, Rate 3
The Exalted version of the staff is simply a long rod of metal alloyed with one of the magical materials. When energized with Essence, the wrackstaff can deliver tremendous, crushing blows. The staff is carved to give the wielder a better grip (as well as for ornament). One end bears a sturdy chisel-point while the other is thicker and heavier to increase the force of impact. A wrackstaff usually includes one setting for a hearthstone in the middle of its length.
A wrackstaff is no mere club. To use it properly, the wielder needs basic martial arts training with stick and staff weapons. The wielder holds the wrackstaff in both hands so he can quickly turn the weapon in any direction, guard, parry, spin and thrust. This chisel end (the first trait bar) deals lethal damage and punches through armor. The blunt end (the second trait bar) delivers powerful, smashing blows.

The one-dot version of this item is a simple adamant lens cut as a faceted polyhedron attached to a small node made from First Age alloys. If attuned for a commitment of one mote, the device’s owner can touch the node to his temple and tap it once, causing it to adhere tightly to his skin until he taps it again.
Worn this way, the lens completely covers one eye. At will, its owner can shift the perspective of the covered eye, allowing him to view from any point and direction within line of sight that is no farther than (his Essence x 20) yards distant. All Perception rolls suffer a -1 internal penalty as long as the character divides his vision this way.
Two-dot versions of these devices cost three motes to attune, but they can orient their vantage to locations beyond the user’s line of sight. This allows the owner to scry through walls or other obstructions.

This blood-red, triangular stone increases the bearer’s Dodge DV by one. (This bonus applies to the final value, not the pool used to calculate it.) Setting this hearthstone in an edged weapon also grants a +1 bonus to all Melee attacks the bearer makes with that weapon.
