Dice Lunar Fury - Exalted 2e Characters

[Sherwood]

This is a game that I have run on this site before, and I'm willing to give it another go. As the name implies, this is a Lunars only game, where the players have all Exalted within weeks of one another, and have been rounded up by the Silver Pact and sent to train with an Elder Lunar to be able to master your powers. You have been Exalted for only a few years. There are several changes to the base character creation rules that I will be implementing.

All characters are required to be tattooed. No Casteless is allowed.
Starting Essence is 3 at no cost, and it can be raised up to 5 with Bonus Points
You gain the Background of Mentor at 3 dots for free
Characters will start with three Knacks AND eight Charms due to the intense training received at the hands of your Mentor. If you wish to have extra Knacks, you may purchase them with your Charm slots or with your Bonus points
Characters will have a total of 25 Bonus Points to spend
Characters will have 35 points of Abilities
Characters will have a total of 10 Backgrounds
We will be using the Errata, starting with Willpower of 5 and 4 Specialties
Merits are allowed, but Flaws will not earn extra points but can be taken for flavor for your character
Any purchase of Sorcery or Necromancy Charms will provide a free spell of that Circle
We will also be using the Hardy Keyword:

New Keyword: HARDY
Each purchase of a Charm bearing this keyword works like a purchase of the Exalt's native version of Ox-Body Technique. This entirely replaces the Charm by that name; players lose those Charms and spend the refunded XP on Charms with the Hardy keyword.

No character may benefit from the Hardy keyword more times than their Essence score. An Essence 5 character with seven Hardy-keyworded Charms only benefits from the equivalent of five purchases of Ox-Body Technique until he raises his Essence score.

LUNARS:
Bruise-Relief Method
Halting the Scarlet Flow
Purging the Tarnish Silver
Indestructible Recursive Design
Steadfast Yeddim Meditation
Luna's Fortitude
Unstoppable Juggernaut Incarnation
Scorpion and Toad Absolution
Scorpion and Toad Immunity
Scorpion and Toad Mastery
Hide-Toughening Essence
Frenzied Bear Fortification
Armor-Forming Technique
Weapon-Trapping Body Dominion
Stone Rhino's Skin
Invulnerable Moonsilver Carapace
Native Son's Grace
(Direction) Mastery Technique
External Hide Perfection

Also to note, this is not a nation building game, but one more focused on personal development and combat.

  Anima Effects: 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.
  
  Valor Flaw: 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.

  Humble Mouse Shape
  
  Spoiler

  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.
  Prey's Skin Disguise
  
  Spoiler

  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 diff cult 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.
  Deadly Beastman Transformation
  
  Spoiler

  Prerequisites: Essence 2, Stamina 3
  This Knack forms the basis of many Lunar battle techniques. Once a character learns it, she can shift into the fearsome war form of the Lunar Exalted, a monstrous amalgam of her two other true forms. The Steward usually gains several feet in height and increases proportionally in mass. Muscles ripple across her form, which usually has fearsomely long and sharp teeth and/or claws. Even if the Lunar’s spirit shape is something as harmless as a groundhog, the hybrid war form looks awesomely dangerous.
  War forms are stronger, faster and more resilient than the character’s normal forms. They have animal characteristics that give them an edge. Lunars in war form heal even faster than other Exalted, and war form allows them to make use of special aspects of certain Charms, called Gifts. Because Dexterity, animal qualities, healing and Gifts can all be useful outside of combat, some Lunars use war forms for purposes other than combat. At the very least, the war form is a tool of purpose—the Lunar dons this form to accomplish a goal.
  Design the war form as follows:
  • Bonus Attributes. When a character takes Deadly Beastman Transformation, her player adds one dot each to the character’s Strength, Dexterity and Stamina. This increase can bring a character’s physical Attributes above five and only affect the character when she is in war form. Any improved Attributes are considered natural when calculating the Lunar’s dice maximums. (See the box on p. 128 for a description of natural Attributes.)
  • Wyld Mutations. The character’s player adds mutations to the form to represent animalistic features. She chooses from the list of Wyld mutations in Exalted, pages 288-290, or creates her own, then applies these to the war form. The player has (Essence + 4) special bonus points to spend on mutations, using the costs given on page 101. Increases in Essence later on allow the player to choose further mutations or “upgrade” existing mutations. Ignore all negative aspects to these mutations beyond the obvious and frightening change in appearance. These are not actually Wyld mutations; they represent the admixture of human and animal of the hybrid form. Players can only choose or create mutations appropriate to the characters’ spirit shapes. Characters cannot take negative mutations, such as deficiencies, and they cannot take single mutations multiple times. Players cannot apply the Large mutation to the war form; war forms are already larger and stronger than a normal human form. Players may, however, apply the Small mutation, accepting its benefits and penalties. This is how some Lunars create their smaller, less monstrous-seeming war forms. Players and Storytellers must remember that not all mutations are appropriate as animal Traits. Those that are not may be altered, at the Storyteller’s discretion, to represent an appropriate animal Trait.
  Some mutations alter the character’s health level track. Ignore these changes; Lunar Exalted remain hard to wound even when their war form is slight and fast, and the increased resilience of the Exalted is represented by their Ox-Body Technique.
  Example: Travis creates a Lunar character whose spirit shape is a frog. At Essence 2, the character’s war form has six points’ worth of mutations. Looking through the list of mutations, Travis takes Wall Walking for the frog’s sticky pads. With two points left, he wants to take horns, but his Storyteller suggests that another mutation may be more in theme. Instead, Travis takes Frog Tongue. When the character’s Essence increases, Travis may choose a beneficial pox for the war form or wait until his character’s Essence increases again to pick an affliction. With those two points, he could also strengthen one of his Lunars’ current afflictions to a blight-level mutation. Many mutations are not appropriate for upgrading, or do not yet have upgrades. There may not be any reasonable upgrade for Frog Tongue, but Travis could (with Storyteller approval) upgrade Wall Walking to make the character more capable in that activity.
  While in the war form, Lunars also gain a supernatural resilience that helps them survive terrible wounds. The Lunar does not actually heal any faster (that requires Charms such as Bruise-Relief Method and Healing the Scarlet Flow). While in war form, however, a Lunar can completely regrow lost limbs or organs using such Charms. It takes at an hour to regenerate such an extreme wound. When a Lunar in war form falls into her Dying health levels, her wounds do not worsen. She does not lose additional levels of damage until she dies; instead, she remains that wounded until either someone stabilizes her with surgery (returning her to Incapacitated) or she uses a Charm to heal a point of lethal damage, which accomplishes the same effect. (For this reason, the Lunars’ Ox-Body Technique gives them two additional Dying health levels with each purchase.)
  Taking Deadly Beastman Transformation also allows the character to make better use of Gift Charms. Legend says that Luna herself composed Gift Charms for her Exalted. When a character learns a Charm with the Gift keyword, she gains abilities that she can activate automatically when she dons her war form. See the individual Charms for more details.
  
  Mutations
  Multiple Limbs - The character has multiple extra legs for a total of six. Each set of legs adds five yards per action to running speed and one die to resist knockback, knockdown, and grappling maneuvers.
  Scorpion’s Tail - This affliction duplicates the Tail pox found on page 288 of Exalted. However, whatever the tail’s form, it ends in a sharp pointed barb. The tail is long enough for the character to attack in any direction, but it cannot be concealed absent stunts or Charms. If the Scorpion’s Tail affliction is purchased a second time (or once as a blight), the tail’s attack is considered piercing. Many mutants with this affliction also have the Toxin mutation (see Exalted, p. 289).

  First Strength Excellency
  
  Spoiler

  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.
  Agitation of the Swarm Technique
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 2m; Mins: Strength 4, Essence 2;
  Type: Supplemental
  Keywords: Combo-OK
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Any Strength Excellency
  Lunar Exalted know how to disrupt their opponents’ calm and unbalance their foes’ stances. Any attack supplemented by this Charm inflicts twice the normal onslaught penalty. Attacks supplemented by Agitation of the Swarm that successfully hit a target and inflict damage also cause great distraction: For each damaging blow supplemented by this attack, one point of onslaught penalty becomes a general Defense Value penalty until the target’s Defense Value refreshes.
  Ferocious Biting Tooth
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 4m; Mins: Strength 4, Essence 2; Type: Supplemental
  Keywords: Combo-OK
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Any Strength Excellency
  The Lunar imbues his blade or blow with such uncontestable strength that the blow or blade becomes incredibly hard to shift from its intended path. Halve the target’s Parry Defense Value (round down) before applying it to the character’s attack successes in Step 5 of attack resolution; players are aware that parrying becomes a less favorable option with this Charm and may choose to use their characters’ Dodge Defense Values instead.
  Lightning Stroke Attack
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 7m; Mins: Strength 5, Essence 4;
  Type: Supplemental
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Agitation of the Swarm Technique, Ferocious Biting Tooth
  Endowing her attack with the speed of her natural grace or the blurring speed of brute force, the character’s attack moves so quickly that both Parry and Dodge Defense Values become inapplicable. Onlookers may think the character and her weapon did not even move. Only a bright flash or blur (and often a falling opponent) indicate that anything happened at all.
  
  
  Second Stamina Excellency
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 2m per success; Mins: (Attribute) 1, Essence 1;
  Type: Reflexive (Step 1 for attacker, Step 2 for defender)
  Keywords: Combo-OK
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: None
  The fact that Lunar Exalted get Attribute Excellencies has some important repercussions for their tactics. Every Lunar character qualifies. Other Exalts need at least minimal training to gain Ability Excellencies, but every character has a rating of at least 1 in every Attribute. Attribute Excellencies are powerful. Because they apply to Attributes and not to Abilities, Lunar Excellencies are incredibly broad. Possessing the Dexterity Excellency is far less limiting than having the Melee Excellency. You can use the Dexterity Excellency to aid an unarmed attack, catch the bow thrown to you, fire from that bow, dodge the attacks on you afterward and carve a stone knife that you can later throw with the Excellency as well. All the other Lunar Excellencies are equally broad in scope, though they are not all as purely useful in combat.
  Attribute Excellencies can increase values that Ability Excellencies cannot. Excellencies can increase static values, such as Defense Values or a character’s (Strength + Athletics) rating for lifting things. Lunar Excellencies can increase these values, but these Excellencies can also increase a character’s Attributes directly. Using the Stamina Excellency to increase a character’s Stamina lasts only for an instant, but that’s long enough to apply the improved soak against an attack. Increasing Strength with the appropriate Excellency doesn’t help a character hit the opponent (except in clinching), but having a greater Strength for just one instant also increases the attack’s base damage. Increasing Appearance for an instant improves a character’s Mental Defense Value against a single social attack, or it degrades a target’s Mental Defense Value against the character’s social attack.
  Lunars cannot increase some values that others can. Some static values do not include an Attribute in their calculation. Most notable of these is the Dodge Mental Defense Value, which comes from (Willpower + Integrity + Essence). Although Solars may use the Integrity Excellency to increase this value, there are no Willpower Excellencies.
  This creates a weakness in Lunar mental defenses, because the Dodge Mental Defense Value is naturally the strongest. There are some cases when only the rating of an Ability matters. Lunar Exalted will never write the most eloquent letters, because they cannot increase their Linguistics as a static value. Lunars with this Charm consistently apply their base potential to solve problems. The character’s player may invoke this Charm when making a roll based on the relevant Attribute.
  The character spends up to (Attribute) in motes, adding one success to the roll for every two motes. Each success purchased with this Charm is the equivalent of two dice purchased with the First Excellency or another dice-adding Charm. See Exalted, page 185, for examples on how this works. This Charm can enhance unrolled uses of the relevant Attribute, just as the First Excellency. Each two motes spent increases the Attribute by two for an instant action or task, functioning just as a single rolled success with the First Excellency. Essence Triumphant may be Comboed with the First Excellency, but it can never be used on the same roll as the Third Excellency.
  Bruise-Relief Method
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 1m+; Mins: Stamina 2, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Gift
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Any Stamina Excellency
  Stewards heal quickly, the better to keep up with their duties. This Charm heals one level of bashing damage the character has suffered for each mote spent. She may recover no more than (Stamina) levels of bashing damage in a single action. Characters may activate this Charm even when unconscious. A Lunar may commit two motes when activating Deadly Beastman Transformation in order to regenerate one level of bashing damage reflexively each action; this does not stack with deliberate activations of this Charm for greater healing.
  Halting the Scarlet Flow
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 2m+; Mins: Stamina 4, Essence 2; Type: Reflexive
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious, Gift
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Bruise-Relief Method
  Silver light shines from the Lunar’s wounds as lacerations close and bones knit instantly. When the light fades, all that is left are a few bruises. Each use of this Charm heals a single level of lethal damage. This miscellaneous action may be performed as part of a flurry. A Lunar may commit two motes when activating Deadly Beastman Transformation in order to regenerate one level of lethal damage reflexively each action.
  Armor-Forming Technique
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 1m per 3 soak; Mins: Stamina 3, Essence 2;
  Type: Reflexive (Step 7)
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Gift, Obvious
  Duration: One scene
  Prerequisite Charms: None
  This Charm resembles Hide-Toughening Essence, but the character grows bony plates rather than directly strengthening his body. This adds three points of bashing and lethal soak and one point of aggravated soak for every mote spent; the Lunar may spend up to (Essence) motes. Soak from this Charm is Obvious and counts as armor for the purposes of Charms and piercing weapons. The bony armor renders other armor unwearable (the size and shape of the Lunar’s body has changed), except for Moon-Faced Mail (see p. 128) and moonsilver armor.
  When the Lunar shifts into war form, he may commit up to (Essence) motes in this Charm for as long as he keeps Deadly Beastman Transformation active. Other than the extended duration, it functions as normal.
  
  
  Hide of the Cunning Hunter
  
  Spoiler

  Cost: 2m; Mins: Appearance 2, Essence 1; Type: Refl exive
  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.

  Gem of Perfect Mobility
  
  Spoiler

  This brilliant-red, faceted square glows as brightly as a candle. Any Exalted bearing it is as swift as a beam of sunlight. A character attuned to the hearthstone halves (round up) the number of ticks all actions require, without causing any penalties and may divide her dice pools normally to gain additional actions. In addition, these increased speed also applies out of combat, allowing the character to walk, run or sprint twice as fast as normal. The only limitations on using this hearthstone are that sorcery still takes the normal time to cast, and that using these additional actions makes the character appear inhumanly fast. Anyone seeing the character move or react this rapidly will know she is not human. The additional action gained from using this hearthstone is incompatible with all Extra Actions Charms. The character can use one or the other, never both.
  Golden Flame
  
  Spoiler

  This stylized flame is about palm-sized and made of normal gold except for a small core of orichalcum. Some are designed to be worn as pendants, others as broaches or clasps. It requires no commitment, and spending one mote suffuses the character with pleasant warmth for one full hour. It also reduces environmental damage from natural cold by two dice, to a minimum of zero, before soak.
  
  
• 
  She never knew her family. How could she, since they had all been killed when she was just a baby? She also never quite understood why her life was spared; after all, what use was an infant to a bunch of desert nomads? No one ever told her why. No one ever bothers to give such details to a slave.
  
  The tribe called themselves the Vashni. They lived hard lives in the desert, making a home in a place where most could not. If life was hard for the members of the tribe, it was nearly Malfeas for a young slave girl. She never even had a name. They just called her chula. She was a thing, a piece of property to be used as they saw fit.
  
  Her days were filled with torture and humiliation as she was forced to do the bidding of any of the tribesmen, and her nights were consumed with loneliness and a desire to belong to a real family that would love her. She picked up a bone chip one day, and would lay awake at night carving at it with her small stone knife. She would create her salvation. Her freedom. She would call for a monster to come and rescue her. It would come and take her far away to a better place. Every night, she carved the bone chip into the rough shape of a scorpion; the first thing that came to her mind in the desert heat.
  
  The carving took shape slowly, but finally, she was done. She carried it with her everywhere. She talked to it, whispering stories of how great it was, and giving it a terrible hunger. It would come for her and free her. Finally, one day, it did.
  
  Members of the tribe were being hunted by some monster living out in the wastes. One by one, the villagers were taken. The warriors seemed helpless trying to find this predator that was feeding on their people. The tribe's shaman finally stood before his people and begged their gods for deliverance. He proclaimed that the one to free them from this scourge would receive the blessings of the gods themselves.
  
  That night, she decided to hunt this beast herself. She was certain that she had called it out by some means, and it was up to her to stop it. It didn't take her long to gather her things. One advantage to not having much. Her only weapon was her simple stone knife. It would have to do.
  
  The tracks lead her deep into the wasteland until she found its layer. A cave hidden behind the rocks and brush. She knew it was a foolish thing to go inside to fight the creature but she had no choice. Too many lives lay at her feet for calling it out.
  
  A giant scorpion awaited her. She could feel its hunger and the hatred flowing from it. With a wordless cry she charged. Pain blurred her mind as she became something less than human, something primal. Fueled by her rage, she fought on, ignoring the wounds and poison in her body. After what seemed to be hours, she found herself kneeling at the side of her fallen foe. With her small stone knife, she carved open its body and pulled out its heart and ripped into it with her teeth. Its power was now hers. Her final trophy was to take the stinger from its tail; proof of her victory. She was chula no more, thanks to the power of Luna and her own resolve to win.
  
  She returned to the tribe and threw down the stinger before the shaman. In front of the tribe, she demanded her due. Where were the blessings he had promised the one to rid them of this foe? He had no answer. He just stared in horror at the mark on her forehead. One of the warriors of the tribe cried out that she was a liar to claim victory when so many skilled warriors had fallen to the beast. He said he would prove this by dispatching this arrogant chula that would think it was a person.
  
  Her rage returned. She could feel the strength flow through her once more. How dare he? He would pay! She had her own blessing. One from her goddess, the one that had granted her the strength to prevail in the face of certain death. She could feel her body change and grow into a new form. Taking the Warform granted to her by Luna, the tribesmen watched in horror as she attacked the one that questioned her, and she ripped him to pieces with her bare hands.
  
  She then turned to face the others. "The next one to call me chula will join him in the Underworld! No one will ever call me that again! I am Scorpion, Blessed of Luna! I should kill you all, but in my strength I am also merciful. More so than the lot of you deserve! Know this! Cross my path again and next time I will not stay my hand!"
  
  To this day, Scorpion always carries with her the small stone knife and the scorpion carving that is worn on a leather strap around her neck.

  Anima Effect
  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.
  
  Background
  Toun was born the second son to a family tucked away in the frigid lands of Windcreche. With a greenfield unfit for farming, there were very few paths the tribes could take to feed themselves. Toun chose to be a hunter. With a crafty trap, he managed to down a moose alone by the age of 10. Since then, he had been scouted by tribal elders for his potential as a border guard. His unit was to stalk guild activity in the southern territories. Find their tracks, follow them, snuff them out as best they could. For a time, Toun took to this job with immense satisfaction. By adolescence, he was well versed in Haslanti scouting. hunting, and survival tactics for protecting their borders. However, guild opponents would not soon relinquish the north to the tribes. In retaliation for pillaging trade to the satrapies, the guild laid a trap. One by one Toun's unit caught blades in their bellies or arrows to the chest. So he dug into the snow, burrowing a foxhole for himself as a last means to lure his prey. His hands were numb, clothing flaked with snow, hunting spear shattered. All he had left were tooth and claw. One by one the ambushers were drug in silence into the foxhole, throats bitten or clawed open till none remained. He emerged from his hole, jaw dripping red with bloody slush, and thrashed the snow off his coat, settling on all fours as he watched the great eagle approach.
  
  After the day of his latest draft into the silver pact, he has taken the tattoos determined to fight for the North. He has been shown what is at stake by his very own ancestors who now seek to test his mettle in a pack of his peers. Though young, he is tenacious and brutal in the hunt and will rip any throat open and any heart from its chest to see the north remain free of chains.

  Caste: Changing Moon
  Age: 29
  Concept: Wandering Martial Artist
  Motivation: Experience as much of Creation as possible
  Virtue Flaw: ???
  Totem Animal: Silver-Haired Coyote
  Tell: Long silver fur-esque hair
  
  Background
  Not much is known about the one who goes by Old Man Coyote. He himself remembers very little, and what memories he has all come from after his Exaltation. This memory gap concerns him, much more than he lets on, and is the impetus for his journeys. He wandered Creation from North to South, East to West, until he was found by the Silver Pact and set into training by the elders, who Coyote figured knew better than he did. He carries various artifacts he discovered on his travels, including Perfected Kata Bracers. On his back is the Unsurpassed Sanxian, and a staff of polished moonsilver that he carries with him at all times.

  -Celestial Monkey Style
  MONKEY TAIL DISTRACTION STRIKE
  Cost: 2m;
  Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1;
  Type: Simple
  Keywords: Combo-OK
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: None
  The Exalt can move from a perfectly relaxed pose to strike her opponent unexpectedly, ambushing him despite being in full view. The Charm can be used only before combat starts. When the martial artist activates this Charm and makes a Martial Arts attack, her opponent’s player attempts a reflexive (Perception + Awareness) roll with a difficulty equal to the martial artist’s permanent Essence. If this roll fails, the Exalt’s opponent cannot apply his Dodge or Parry DV to this attack without the use of reflexive surprise-mitigating Charms. If the roll succeeds, the martial artist’s attack roll is subject to the victim’s Dodge or Parry DV. Only after the attack granted by 86 this Charm is complete does combat begin, at which point the player of every character involved rolls Join Battle. The Speed of the surprise attack granted by this Charm is not taken into account for the purposes of determining when on the reaction count the martial artist’s next action occurs. The result of her Join Battle roll determines her position on the reaction count normally
  
  FLOWING MIRROR OF OPPOSITION TECHNIQUE
  Cost: 1m;
  Mins: Martial Arts 2, Essence 1;
  Type: Refl exive (Step 1 or 2)
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Monkey Tail Distraction Strike
  This Charm makes its user frustratingly hard to attack. The Exalt engages his opponent and dances around her like a monkey, moving alternately too close for proper leverage and tantalizingly out of reach in no predictable pattern. This ridiculous capering subtracts two from the Accuracy modifier of the opponent’s attack. The Blissful Sage can also attack more quickly, adding his Essence to his Join Battle dice pool at the start of combat and subtracting one tick from the Speed of his attack.
  
  BODY OF WAR MEDITATION
  Cost: 4m or 6m;
  Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
  Type: Simple K
  eywords: Obvious, Stackable
  Duration: One scene
  Prerequisite Charms: None
  The Exalt practices a meditative prana for about 20 minutes, channeling powerful Essence. Doing so suffuses her muscles with fluid suppleness, and her bones and skin are fortified with power and flexibility. For the rest of the scene, faint pulses of golden Essence radiate from the martial artist’s core chakras in time with her heartbeat, running down her arms and legs and up to the crown chakra in the center of her forehead. The Exalt’s caste mark also becomes visible. For every four motes of Essence the martial artist spends, add one temporary dot to her Strength or Stamina; or for every six motes of Essence, add one temporary dot to her Dexterity. Body of War Meditation can be used more than once for the same scene, but it cannot be used once the character enters combat. The effects are cumulative, and the Exalt’s Attributes can be raised thus above trait maximums. The character cannot raise any of her Physical Attributes by more dots than she has permanent Essence, however.
  
  WITHERING PAW STRIKE
  Cost: 4m, 1wp;
  Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
  Type: Simple
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Touch
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Body of War Meditation
  With this Charm, the martial artist attacks his opponent’s weapon arm in an attempt to disarm him. The Exalt’s player rolls a (Dexterity + Martial Arts) attack at a difficulty of 1, disregarding the standard -2 penalty for attempts to disarm. The target’s DV applies as if the attack were a normal one, but the DV suffers a penalty equal to the attacker’s permanent Essence. If the attacker succeeds, the target’s player must attempt a reflexive roll of (Wits + the weapon’s pertinent Ability) per the normal rules. If she fails this roll, her weapon is flung a number of yards equal to the martial artist’s extra successes. The weapon flies off in a direction of the martial artist’s choosing, or the Exalt may take it for himself and pass it to someone else if she pleases.
  
  CELESTIAL MONKEY FORM
  Cost: 5m;
  Mins: Martial Arts 4, Essence 2;
  Type: Simple (Speed 3)
  Keywords: Form-type
  Duration: One scene
  Prerequisite Charms: Flowing Mirror of Opposition, Withering Paw Strike
  The state of careless confidence to which disciples of this style aspire is known as the “Selfless Mind.” Practitioners divorce themselves from emotions or other distractions that would undermine their confidence or make them doubt their chances of success or chosen course of action. Celestial Monkey Form is the perfect expression of that ability. The martial artist centers herself and spends the motes necessary to fuel the Charm. Her body relaxes as she releases her mind from the expectations of society and her own inner turmoil between emotion and intellect. Free for the time being, the martial artist smiles blissfully. For the rest of the scene, the Exalt does not need to make Virtue tests. Gibbering bands of demon-soldiers will not intimidate her on the battlefield, nor will the feeble pawings of elderly invalids distract her from pursuing her adversary. She also becomes immune to all forms of natural mental influence for the scene, regardless of how compatible such influence might be with her Motivation. Attempts to levy unnatural mental influence suffer a +1 external penalty (where applicable), and the martial artist does not gain Limit from using Willpower to resist.
  
  WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF TEN THOUSAND THINGS
  Cost: 10m, 1wp, 2xp;
  Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
  Type: Simple
  Keywords: None
  Duration: One scene (with Permanent aspects; see below)
  Prerequisite Charms: Celestial Monkey Form
  By meditating on every aspect of the natural world around them, Blissful Sages can understand the manifold ways Essence flows through Creation. By emulating the phenomena on which they meditate (by walking in the footsteps of ten thousand things), these martial artists guide Creation’s Essence to fl ow through them in the same manifold ways. In so doing, these learned masters perfect their martial skills and make themselves unassailable. To use this Charm, a martial artist must first size up his opponent, either by fighting him, watching him demonstrate his style or watching him fight someone else. Studying an opponent in this way requires one full scene of observation. After that fight or period of observation is over, the martial artist then meditates on his opponent for a period of one hour, internalizing the lessons he learned in his observation. Henceforth, whenever the martial artist faces that particular opponent, his player rolls (Perception + Martial Arts) with a difficulty equal to that opponent’s Martial Arts score. If the roll succeeds, the Blissful Sage adds any successes above that difficulty to his own Martial Arts attacks against that opponent for one scene. If the opponent learns a new martial arts style, however, the Blissful Sage loses this advantage until he spends another scene observing the opponent’s new combat techniques and uses this Charm again.
  
  FOUR HALO GOLDEN MONKEY PALM
  Cost: 3m, 1wp;
  Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
  Type: Supplemental
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
  Duration: Instant
  Prerequisite Charms: Walking in the Footsteps of Ten Thousand Things
  Essence flows through all things, and supernatural martial arts provide a way to channel and direct this energy. Just as Essence concentrates in certain geographical nexus points known as demesnes, so too do similar nexus points exist in the body. Blissful Sages pay special attention to four of these chakras, which they call the Gates of Virtue. Celestial Monkey practitioners believe each gate is attuned to one of the Divine Virtues: the Crown of Temperance (head), the Chalice of Compassion (sternum), the Throne of Conviction (stomach) and the Root of Valor (groin). When the martial artist invokes this Charm in combat, she sees glowing rings encircle these gates on her opponent, each of which glows with an intensity proportional to the strength of the corresponding Virtue. These rings provide more than knowledge about a foe’s personality. The martial artist need only attempt an attack against one of these gates at a +3 external difficulty penalty, rolling damage as usual. If any damage exceeds the target’s soak, the target suffers an additional amount of lethal damage equal to the Virtue whose chakra was struck.
  
  FOUR HALO GOLDEN MONKEY REALIGNMENT
  Cost: 8m, 1wp;
  Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 3;
  Type: Reflexive
  Keywords: Obvious
  Duration: One scene
  Prerequisite Charms: Four Halo Golden Monkey Palm
  This Charm enables a Blissful Sage to manipulate her own Gates of Virtue, moving these nexus points within her frame. Doing so creates glowing, spherical fields of Essence around her body wherever she moves the gates, with a radius equal to the length of his forearm. This realignment causes no disturbance within the martial artist, but those who witness him using this Charm see glittering coronas (colored like the Exalt’s anima banner) flare around the Exalt’s extremities. The martial artist can use these haloes of Essence to parry any incoming attack, hand-to-hand or ranged, using her full (Dexterity + Martial Arts) total as her Defense Value for the scene (not dividing the value by two, per her normal Parry DV). She does not need to move to do so either. The character only needs to be aware of the attacks and have enough Essence and Willpower to activate the Charm.
  
  CELESTIAL GODBODY UNDERSTANDING
  Cost: —;
  Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 4;
  Type: Permanent
  Keywords: None
  Duration: Permanent
  Prerequisite Charms: Four Halo Golden Monkey Realignment
  Blissful masters of this martial art transcend its limits through their perfected consciousness of how Essence flows through the world and themselves. After buying this Charm, the martial artist treats all attacks made using the Martial Arts Ability as unarmed attacks, even if he uses a weapon—including all the Charms of this style. Wearing armor no longer hinders the character from performing the Charms of this martial art, either. If it matters, any Strength, Dexterity or Martial Arts minimums for the character’s weapons are halved (round up), so the Blissful Sage can wield weapons that seem like they should be too heavy for her. (This also helps the character if Charms, drugs or poisons reduce her Attributes below the listed minimums.)
  
  FIRST DEXTERITY EXCELLENCY— ESSENCE OVERWHELMING
  Cost: 1m per die;
  Mins: Dexterity 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.
  
  Knacks
  DEADLY BEASTMAN TRANSFORMATION
  Prerequisites: Essence 2, Stamina 3
  This Knack forms the basis of many Lunar battle techniques. Once a character learns it, she can shift into the fearsome war form of the Lunar Exalted, a monstrous amalgam of her two other true forms. The Steward usually gains several feet in height and increases proportionally in mass. Muscles ripple across her form, which usually has fearsomely long and sharp teeth and/or claws. Even if the Lunar’s spirit shape is something as harmless as a groundhog, the hybrid war form looks awesomely dangerous. War forms are stronger, faster and more resilient than the character’s normal forms. They have animal characteristics that give them an edge. Lunars in war form heal even faster than other Exalted, and war form allows them to make use of special aspects of certain Charms, called Gifts. Because Dexterity, animal qualities, healing and Gifts can all be useful outside of combat, some Lunars use war forms for purposes other than combat. At the very least, the war form is a tool of purpose—the Lunar dons this form to accomplish a goal. Design the war form as follows:
  • Bonus Attributes. When a character takes Deadly Beastman Transformation, her player adds one dot each to the character’s Strength, Dexterity and Stamina. This increase can bring a character’s physical Attributes above fi ve and only affect the character when she is in war form. Any improved Attributes are considered natural when calculating the Lunar’s dice maximums. (See the box on p. 128 for a description of natural Attributes.)
  • Wyld Mutations. The character’s player adds mutations to the form to represent animalistic features. She chooses from the list of Wyld mutations in Exalted, pages 288-290, or creates her own, then applies these to the war form. The player has (Essence + 4) special bonus points to spend on mutations, using the costs given on page 101. Increases in Essence later on allow the player to choose further mutations or “upgrade” existing mutations. Ignore all negative aspects to these mutations beyond the obvious and frightening change in appearance. These are not actually Wyld mutations; they represent the admixture of human and animal of the hybrid form. Players can only choose or create mutations appropriate to the characters’ spirit shapes. Characters cannot take negative mutations, such as deficiencies, and they cannot take single mutations multiple times. Players cannot apply the Large mutation to the war form; war forms are already larger and stronger than a normal human form. Players may, however, apply the Small mutation, accepting its benefits and penalties. This is how some Lunars create their smaller, less monstrous-seeming war forms. Players and Storytellers must remember that not all mutations are appropriate as animal Traits. Those that are not may be altered, at the Storyteller’s discretion, to represent an appropriate animal Trait. Some mutations alter the character’s health level track. Ignore these changes; Lunar Exalted remain hard to wound even when their war form is slight and fast, and the increased resilience of the Exalted is represented by their Ox-Body Technique.

  • Armored Hide
  • Tail
  • Enhanced Sense (scent)

  Warform appearance: Silver werewolf with bladed arms and stone-like plates of armor, with softer fur laying under the plates and covering the body.
  
  PERFECTED HYBRID INTERACTION
  Prerequisites: Deadly Beastman Transformation, Essence 2, Wits 3
  When a Lunar isn’t content to have a war form that represents the best of his animal and human natures, he may take this Knack. It allows his player to reallocate the points for mutation ignoring Deadly Beastman Transformation’s guidelines. The Lunar’s shape in his war form no longer needs to reflect his true nature—just the deadly abilities he wishes to have. From this point on, this is the character’s true war form. Though the name would never reflect it, many Lunars consider this Knack a step along the road to chimerism and view its possessors with deep suspicion.
  
  HYBRID BODY REARRANGEMENT
  Prerequisites: Essence 3, Wits 3
  A dedicated Lunar can learn to change just part of his body to gain some special benefit or attack. The character may transform part of her body, producing any mutation she desires, so long as the mutation is based on her spirit shape or a shape in her heart’s blood library. Producing a pox or deficiency costs 1m, an affliction or debility costs 2m, a blight or deformity costs 3m, and an abomination costs 4m. These motes are not committed, the Lunar may simultaneously wear as many mutations as she wishes, and the mutations last as long as the Lunar desires. Such mutations do not recede when the character’s anima flares to the 8m+ level.

  Name: Korigard
  Caste: Full Moon
  Age: 28
  Concept: Cunning Hunter
  Spirit Shape: Snow Leopard
  Motivation: Hunt down enemies of Creation as he searches for clues pertaining to his missing sister
  Virtue Flaw: (Valor) Curse of the Raging Bull
  
  Character Bio:
  
  Korigard and his family lived on a small peninsula named Twisted Stone at the heart of the Haslanti League, where they hunkered down in the ice for the summers and hunkered down harder for the winters. Throughout their childhood Korigard and his twin sister Mira were required to help their parents work the meager fields and spent most of their time this way to make ends meet. Yet their home was a happy one, full of love and warmth, so the two children viewed the work-heavy burdens of their youths through a positive lens.
  
  When the two of them had reached the age of 20, they were required to go out into the northern world and see what they could make of themselves. Armed with the lessons and strong work ethic their parents had instilled, they traveled to the nearby capital of Icehome and soon found success within their own chosen occupations. Whereas Mira was talented in the more socially-aspected writing and singing of beautiful songs and ballads, Korigard was quick to act in both mind and
  body and chose to put his abilities to use with the Haslanti Air Patrol. Within a year, his discovered constant sea-sickness while flying made it impossible to serve effectively, so he was granted a transfer to the Capitol Guard. With his feet firmly on the ground he was able to quickly advance among his peers, breaking a few records held by former Guards at the main barracks. He earned a reputation as one who could persevere to complete an assigned task, regardless of the physical hardships that often accompanied them.
  
  The two siblings would often sup together, enjoying each other’s company and sharing an innate connection as twins, and at least a few nights a week Mira would meet him at the barracks as he was getting off duty. He didn’t care for this, as the barracks was located near a Bordermarch Wyld entrance frequented by members of the Fae's Jet Court. Whenever he voiced his disapproval however, she just smiled and told him nothing would happen with all the soldiers stationed nearby.
  
  One evening, as Mira made her way to the barracks to meet up with her brother, a half-shaped Raksha emerged from the Wyld zone and began terrorizing the nearby populous. Korigard was called in to help quell the beast, but it seemed that their attacks were ineffective against its Gossamer armor. Time and again they struck against the beast, and each counter-attack left them with fewer numbers to keep up the assault. When the number of defenders had dropped below a dozen, they began to break rank and scatter. The monster eyed each of them in turn, before locking its gaze on Mira. With an inhuman growl, the partially-shaped horror lurched towards her, intent on snatching up its prize. Forgetting his own safety, Korigard leapt to her defense, dropping his blade and gripping its front appendages with his own hands. His own silver-glowing hands.
  
  He felt his body swell with power, and he forced the creature slowly back towards the Wyld zone. His might was too great for the creature to resist, and his reflexes
  too quick to bypass. He threw it to the ground, and prepared to smash it beneath repetitive strikes with his palms. Then suddenly, he felt the bite of a spear plunge into his side. He dropped to a knee and turned back, looking at his fellow guardsmen. They eyed him with the same look of horror that he’d reserved for the Raksha, and approached him with weapons drawn. He released the Wyld beast and leap away from their attacks, pleading with them to refocus on the real problem at hand.
  
  Forgotten for the moment, the Raksha collected itself and then barreled past Korigard on its way to Mira. Terrified, she lay on the ground sobbing as it scooped her up and then turned back to the Wyld entranceway. Korigard tried to reach it but was wounded and beset on all sides by the guardsmen, and his unwillingness to injure his former fellows prevented him from pushing quickly through them. His pleas for passage fell on deaf ears, and it was all he could do to stay out of the reach of their weapons. “Please!” he’d yelled at the monster, “don’t take her from me!” The creature favored him with one final look, giving Korigard what looked like a deformed half grin as though it knew how much this would hurt him, and then hurtled back into the Wyld zone. Mira’s screams echoed out from the bizarre vista as her brother watched, powerless to rescue her from her horrific captor.
  
  Though he does not remember the aftermath of the event well, the Lunars who participated in the retrieval pack claim that when they came upon him in the wilderness near Icehome he was half starved and barely on his feet from the wounds he’d sustained. They nursed him back to health, taught him about the Lunar Exaltation, and from different members of the pack he learned more nuanced ideals and beliefs concerning Luna’s blessing and the responsibility they bore as Stewards of Creation. Since being retrieved and participating in his Caste-trial, most of his time has been spent training under the watchful tutelage of One Tusk.
  
  When given an opportunity for a break lasting longer than a couple days, Korigard tends to travel into the Wyld and search out Raksha to stalk and interrogate. Though he knows the chances are slim that his sister still lives, until he has evidence proving different he refuses to believe that Mira is anything otherwise. Each journey into the Wyld is treated as another chance to find the monster that took her. After he has ripped out all the useful information possible from the Fair Folk he finds, Korigard unleashes his pent-frustration in the form of powerful essence fueled strikes that brutally rend apart their dreamlike forms.

  BACKGROUNDS
  
  Mentor 3
  - Elder Lunar (One Tusk)
  
  Manse 2
  
  Spoiler

  Thorn for the Fae's Foot (Manse Level 2)
  Hearthstone: Cold Iron Bauble
  - An early fortification for Exalts looking to expand Creation's borders, this two-level stone and granite keep served as both a defensive position and a staging point for future excursions.
  
  Features:
  Maintenance (+3 points)
  --> Complicated maintenance takes an Earth elemental a full day to sanctify the granite and stone walls to keep their essence patterns flowing properly; maintenance must be done weekly
  Bound Servitor (-2 points)
  --> A First Age Earth elemental has been bound to the manse, and acts as both its primary protector and its constant caretaker
  Armored (-3 points)
  --> External Soak (14L/21B), Internal Soak (7L/14B)
  Network Node (-1 point)
  --> This particular fortification answers to another Central Control manse that was also lost to the Wyld after the Balorian Crusade
  - (Earth) Cold Iron Bauble
  - Small spherical hearthstone of black iron
  - Any weapon fitted with a cold iron bauble inflicts aggravated damage to Fair Folk, just as if the weapon was made of cold iron. The hearthstone also inflicts a -1 external penalty on any Fair Folk powers used against its bearer.
  
  Artifact 2
  - (Moonsilver) Hearthstone Bracers
  - Contain the Cold Iron Bauble
  - Costs 4m committed, provides +3 dodge bonus and +2 lethal soak
  
  Manse 1
  
  Spoiler

  Shaded Grove of Mercurial Trees (Manse Level 1)
  - Hearthstone: Gemstone of Shadows
  - Made to look like a thickly encircled wall of trees casting shadows in every direction. A clean-cut stump sits at the center of the encircled grove, and features both ancient grooves inlaid with Moonsilver and a single notch at the center holding the stone.
  
  Features:
  Habitability (+2 points)
  --> Minimally Habitable, no typical shelter amenities
  Minor Tricks and Traps (-1 point)
  --> Any attempt for an unwanted guest to enter the manse through its wall of trees will confound them as the trees and their shadows appear to shift and create a confusing maze
  --> A successful (Intelligence + Investigation) roll, difficulty 3, lets a character navigate the maze. Every successful roll adds 1 success to this roll in the future, and each attempt takes 10 minutes. Success with a threshold of 3 extra successes indicates the character has figured out a way around the twisting limbs and shadows and can find their way through the manse without impediment
  Well-Flavored Aspect (-1 point)
  --> If the hearthstone bearer shares the manse's aspect, everything about the manse subtly cooperates with them. While the character is in the manse, they receive a +1 bonus to every dice pool for their actions
  Geomantic Subtlety (-2 points)
  --> The architectural stereotypes of the manse's Essence were well disguised to appear as a natural (if unconventional) arrangement of trees within a forest. Unless an observer succeeds at a (Perception + Occult) roll, difficulty 3, they can't determine its aspect. Rolls to find the manse's hearthroom, damage its powers, or to otherwise figure out anything at all from its geomancy also suffer a -3 external penalty. This power has no effect in the immediate vicinity of the carved tree stump that acts as a hearthroom, where Geomantic Subtlety is impossible
  - (Lunar) Gemstone of Shadows
  - Faceted rod made of silvery crystal
  - At the bearer's command shadows are summoned and surround himself (up to a max diameter of 2 yards). Only magical light can pierce these shadows, but they are not completely opaque. The bearer can see out of them and anyone looking in can see vague shapes. This shadow increases the difficulty to spot or recognize anyone inside by 2, higher if the surroundings are also relatively dark. In well-lit areas however, the shadow becomes exceedingly obvious. Regardless of location, this shadow increases the bearer's Dodge and Parry DVs against all ranged attacks by 1. Anyone else who enters the shadow-zone does not gain this advantage against the bearer though, as the hearthstone's owner can see perfectly well in the zone of darkness.
  
  Artifact 1
  - (Moonsilver) Hearthstone Amulet
  - Contains the Gemstone of Shadows
  - Costs 1m committed, provides +1m natural recovery every hour
  
  Artifact 1
  - Golden Flame
  - This stylized flame is about palm-sized and made of normal gold except for a small core of Orichalcum. It has been fashioned in the shape of a pendant to hang around one's neck, requires no commitment, and spending one mote suffuses the character with pleasant warmth for one full our. It also reduces environmental damage from natural cold by two dice, to a minimum of zero, before soak.
  
  Reputation 1
  - Recognized for destroying the mischievous Fair Folk Noble known as '10-Storm Whipper' and his fortification 'The House of Frozen Dreams and Toffee of Glass' at a former Wyld Waypoint
  
  Solar Bond 1
  - Though he marvels at the stories of the First Age warriors and glory, the elder Lunars have been able to convince Korigard that the Chosen of the Moon were as pets under the Solar hegemony. Though he might feel a mystical draw via his Solar bond, he will strongly resist it if he encounters them, seeing them as one of the potential threats to a more self-sufficient Creation. Only a Solar who could display a respectable level of martial skill against Creation's enemies would have any chance of turning Korigard's mind, with efforts taken towards Wyld or Fae resisting charms being a noticeable plus
  
  Backing 1
  - Swords of Luna
  - After he conquered his trials through unhesitating speed and overpowering his opponents, Mighty Red Jaw (already a member of the Swords of Luna) encouraged the young Lunar to join their faction in order to put his martial abilities to use in defense of Creation
  
  Heart's Blood 1
  - Falcon, Seal, Mouse
  
  MERITS
  
  Accute Sense [Smell]
  - One-die bonus to Perception rolls involving smell (only apply in Leopard true form and War form, to represent cat-like nose/sense of smell)
  
  Heirloom
  - Custom crafted knife of silver and sapphires, gifted by a No-Moon Lunar named Pearl of Moonlit Grace, mainly used at the end of sacred ritual hunts to quickly and mercifully kill hunted targets
  
  Legendary Dexterity
  - Allows the Dexterity attribute to be raised 1 dot above the normal limit
  
  FLAWS
  
  Obligation
  - Korigard owes a Major Boon to Mighty Red Jaw (leader of the pack that retrieved him after Exaltation)
  
  Taboo
  - Korigard spent some time getting to know the sorceress Pearl of Moonlit Grace as he was whisked away from [--] and inducted into the Silver Pact. She taught him that a Steward's first responsibility is to protect the mortals of Creation on behalf of Luna from the Others beyond the world's edge, and impressed upon him the controversial belief that it goes against their patron Incarnae's compassionate intentions to hunt humans for their heart's blood. As such, in deference to Luna, Korigard now refuses to commit the sacred hunt for the sake of taking another human's form. Killing them for obstructing the Steward's responsibilities, however, falls conveniently outside such stipulations.

  WAR FORM KNACKS
  
  Deadly Beastman Transformation
  - +1 Strength, Dexterity, and Stamina
  - Claws (Paw 'punches' and 'kicks' can inflict lethal damage)
  - Fangs (Bite becomes legitimate attack option, inflicts lethal damage)
  - Tail (Better balance adds +2 Athletics rolls)
  - Armored Hide (Extremely thick winter fur adds 4B/4L soak and +4 Survival rolls)
  
  SHAPESHIFTING SPEED KNACKS
  
  Quicksilver Second Face
  - By spending an extra mote, the character may change shape as a Speed 3 action instead of a normal miscellaneous action, which is Speed 5. He can change more quickly between any two forms for the extra cost.
  
  Lightning-Change Style
  - Sometimes a Lunar simply must change shape now. Perhaps battle is imminent or someone is about to discover the character's true identity. This Knack enables a Lunar to shapeshift as a completely reflexive action by adding three motes to the cost. Used in attack resolution, the change takes place in Step 1 or 2 and can apply a difficulty to the attack roll (for tiny shapes), increased soak or other benefits.
  
  FORM ACQUISITION KNACKS: ANIMAL
  
  Humble Mouse Shape
  - 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.
  
  
• 
  
  MARTIAL ARTS
  
  Tiger Style
  Crimson Leaping Cat Technique
  Cost: 3m Type: Supplemental
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
  Duration: One action
  
  - The character moves with the speed and agility of a leaping tiger. With this Charm active, add the character's Martial Arts score to her Dexterity for purposes of determining how far he can move, dash or jump in a single action.
  
  Striking Fury Claws Attack
  Cost: 2m Type: Supplemental
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
  Duration: Instant
  
  - The character's Essence infuses his hands with the power of a tiger's deadly claws. His blows inflict lethal damage even if he isn't wearing tiger claws. If he is using tiger claws, add a number of damage dice equal to the character's Essence to his raw damage for the attack.
  
  Tiger Form
  Cost: 6m Type: Simple (Speed 3)
  Keywords: Form-type
  Duration: One scene
  
  - The character adopts the power and attitude of a raging tiger -- crouching, quivering with barely restrained tension, ready to pounce. While using the Tiger Form, add the character's Martial Arts score to his raw damage when making Martial Arts attacks barehanded or while wearing tiger claws. The martial artist also adds his permanent Essence to his bashing and lethal soak totals. The character's Martial Arts attacks automatically inflict lethal damage in the form of bloody lacerations even if they aren't wearing tiger claws, and the character suffers no penalties for fighting while prone.
  
  STAMINA
  
  1st (Stamina) Excellency
  Cost: 1m per die Type: Reflexive
  Keywords: Combo-OK
  Duration: Instant
  
  - The Exalt's player may invoke this Charm when making a roll based on the relevant Attribute. This Charm adds one die to that roll per mote spent. No combination of Charms can add more than (Stamina) dice to the roll.
  
  Bruise-Relief Method
  Cost: +1m Type: Reflexive
  Keywords: Combo-OK, Gift
  Duration: Instant
  
  - Stewards heal quickly, the better to keep up with their duties. This Charm heals one level of bashing damage the character has suffered for each mote spent. They may recover no more than (Stamina) levels of bashing damage in a single action. Characters may activate this Charm even when unconscious.
  - A Lunar may commit two motes when activating Deadly Beastman Transformation in order to regenerate one level of bashing damage reflexively each action; this does not stack with deliberate activations of this Charm for greater healing.
  
  APPEARANCE
  
  Hide of the Cunning Hunter
  Cost: 2m Type: Reflexive
  Keywords: Combo-OK
  Duration: Indefinite
  
  - This very basic Charm allows the Lunar Exalted to conceal any distinctive marks they might have, including their protective moonsilver tatoos. 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.
