Adder Fang Method

Cost: —; Mins: Stamina 5, Essence 4; Type: Permanent
Keywords: Gift, Poison
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisite Charms: Scorpion and Toad Mastery

Lunars who can reproduce Creation's venoms sometimes invent their own. This charm adds a specific supernatural toxin to the list of those the character may create using Scorpion and Toad Mastery. (The attack must cause at least a level of damage to convey the poison, as normal.) This venom is known as Luna's Spite and has Lethal Damage (character's Essence x 2)/tick, Toxicity (character's Stamina + 1), Tolerance —/—, Penalty-(Essence). People who die of Luna's Spite grow very pale, and their eyes become silvery masks.

Luna's Spite is just one of many toxins the character can create. Here are other sample toxins. Each requires four experience points or two bonus points to learn.

Chosen's Bane: Damage 6L/tick, Toxicity (target’s Essence), Tolerance —/—, Penalty -(target’s Essence).

Closing Eye Toxin: Damage 5B/12 hours, Toxicity (character’s Stamina-1), Tolerance (Stamina)/24 hours, Penalty -1.

Nights Lure: Damage 13B/tick, Toxicity (character’s Stamina)L, Tolerance —/—, Penalty -0; poison does not take effect until the moon is in the sky.

Still Water Infusion: Damage 20B (4/tick), Toxicity (character’s Stamina), Tolerance —/—, Penalty -1; actually inflicts 4 bashing each tick.

Adder Fang Method is a Gift Charm. By committing four motes, the character makes the toxin constantly available while she remains in her beastman form. This is not optional; if she uses Adder Fang Method in this way, it affects every one of her natural attacks while in war form. She cannot use more than one toxin in this way at a single time.
