Instinctive Essence Prediction

Cost: 4m; Mins: Perception 4, Essence 2; Type: Simple
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fury-OK
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Any Perception Excellency

Attuning herself to her sense of burgeoning Essence, the character gains an instinctive sense for how to counter its applications. When anyone the Lunar can perceive activates a Charm or magical effect, the Lunar's player attempts a reflexive (Perception + Essence) roll at a difficulty equal to the Charm's minimum Essence requirement. (Effects without such a minimum are difficulty 1.) Success indicates that the Lunar knows roughly what the Charm does. (Use the labels for Lunar Charm Trees as a guideline for the degree of information the character gains, such as a Strength-based Crippling Charm from a fellow Lunar, or a Performance-based mind control charm from a Solar.) The player adds any threshold successes to contested rolls if the Lunar attempts to resist the target's Charm with another.
