This Fighting Style is the result of observation of Lunes and how they fight. It takes best advantage of the werewolf’s ability to shapeshift reflexively, meaning that a werewolf using it is going to burn through Essence quickly. Of course, since a Rahu can shapeshift reflexively on the full moon, this Fighting Style becomes much deadlier during this time.

Dots purchased in this Merit allowed for special combat maneuvers. Each dot is a prerequisite for the next, so a character can’t have Savage Ambush until he has Shapeshift Dodge.

Shapeshift Dodge (•)

The character changes form quickly to dodge an attack, usually to Urhan form, and then positions himself so as to take greatest advantage of his now off-balance foe. The character must change to a smaller form reflexively before his opponent rolls to attack. The character’s Defense in the smaller form is doubled and he can take no further action that turn, just as if the character had Dodged (see p. 156 of WoD). If the attack misses, the player receives a +2 modifier to attack the opponent on the character’s next action.

Savage Ambush (••)

The character bursts into Gauru form, gutting his opponent before the victim knows what is happening. The character must change to Gauru form reflexively and then make an attack as usual.

The opponent’s player rolls Wits + Composure (Danger Sense applies, but the opponent also takes a penalty equal to the werewolf’s Composure). If this roll fails, the opponent does not apply his Defense to this attack.

The werewolf must be within reach of the opponent, but Gauru form has a considerable reach, which is why the opponent so rarely anticipates the attack.

Moonlight’s Revelation (•••)

It’s impossible to surprise a Ralunim. While werewolves aren’t quite so omniscient, the members of the Lodge of the Fury Choir have learned to “feel” moonlight. As long as moonlight touches the werewolf (whether from the actual moon, moonlight generated by a Lune or by a packmate using the Moonlight Gift), he applies his full Defense against all incoming attacks, including Firearms.
