Editing Exalted Versus World of Darkness (section)

===[[Lunars]]===

Chosen of the Moon Goddess, Lunars in the present age come from the outcasts, who society either pushed to the borders or ignored outright.  Born from surviving a life-threatening experience, Lunars now walk the nights of a world that can no longer afford to disregard their existence.

Lunars get grouped into three distinct Castes upon Exaltation, are fixed to those from that point on: 

* '''Full Moon''': Gifted physical specimens well-suited to kicking their problems in the teeth. Their anima power means that they don't roll for Initiative, and instead always uses 10 plus Dexterity and Wits total.  They replenish their Essence whenever they defeat a supernatural opponent or significant mortal foes, overcome a significant obstacle through physical means, or use their strength, speed, or endurance to advance or protect an Intimacy.

* '''Changing Moon''': Tricksters and deceivers, using their looks and sly tongues to get what they want.  Their anima power allows them to wrap themselves in a veil of illusion by paying 1 Essence, perfectly disguising themselves as anyone they had seen for a scene.  When their anima banner is alight, they may also instead pull it around themselves to become unrecognizable.  They replenish Essence when they use guile, cunning, seduction, or sheer force of presence to accomplish a significant goal, escape a dangerous situation, defeat an enemy, or support or defend an Intimacy.

* '''No Moon''': Shamans and seers, these are the explorers of the Spirit Worlds, and go-betweens to the other night dwellers.  Their anima power allows them to speak and be understood by spirits; by fixing their eyes upon the moon and rolling their Essence rating against the local Gauntlet or Shroud, the No Moon may attempt to cross into the Spirit World or Underworld.  They replenish Essence whenever they learn a secret of the supernatural world, overcome a significant obstacle or enemy through knowledge, learning, clever plans, resources and contacts, or when they support or protect an Intimacy through these means.

Lunars are shapeshifters par excellence, and are able to gain new forms through simple consumption (or murder, if needed). On the bare minimum, they have a Totem form, an animal that represents their personality. They may freely shift into this form without needing to hunt, and can reflexively assume the totem form without spending Essence.

When particularly pissed off, they can even take on the Rage Form, a hybrid between human and their totem animal that can and WILL [[Rip and Tear]] anything that gets in their way. In this way, they can easily be mistaken for a Garou or similar Fera, but make no mistake, they are much ''much'' more than that.

Finally as beings marked by Luna, Lunars are protected from any magic that would transform or mutate their bodies against their will. This requires no dice roll, as any such effect flatly fail.
