Hey all,

here is a charm tree for Lunar Exalted that I've created. It works on the premise that some Lunars have a lot of limbs in their various forms and they can use those to do all kinds of things. The base charm this tree works from is Octopus and Spider Barrage.

All comments welcome.


OCTOPUS AND SPIDER FURY
Cost: 6m, 1wp; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fury-OK
Duration: fury
Prerequisite Charms: Octopus and spider barrage

A prerequisite for mastery of the octopus and spider flurry style is for the character learns to apply octopus and spider barrage much more efficiently. This charm makes octopus and spider barrage Fury-OK, although the cost is 6 motes and a temporal willpower instead of only 2 motes of other fury-OK charms.


OCTOPUS AND SPIDER ONSLAUGHT
Cost: 2m per -1 DV; Mins: Martial Arts 3, Essence 2;
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-OK, stackable
Duration: instant
Prerequisite Charms: Octopus and spider fury

Defending is very difficult if you're attacked from all sides. A character who is subject to an attack supplemented by this charm gets an onslaught penalty to his DV, with a -1 DV for each two motes spend. The maximum penalty is the amount of octopus and spider barrage attacks divided by 3 (rounded up). This stacks with onslaught penalties from a regular flurry. A character needs at least 6 attacks before she can use this charm.


OCTOPUS AND SPIDER DEFENCE

When having so many limbs, it's always easy to place a limb between your body and an attacker. With this charm a character can reduce the parry DV penalties for using a flurry by 1 DV for each 2 motes spend, with a maximum of the amount of octopus and spider barrage attacks divided by 3 (rounded up). With this charm a character can also parry lethal attacks while unarmed.

It allows the use of the octopus and spider barrage charm for the duration of the form-type. Also it reduces the speed of all attacks by one (min speed 3) and if a character uses a jump or fall to attack (like jumping towards someone, or falling from the ceiling) this fall is a reflexive action if the distance is not more then DEX x2 yards.
