Full Moon

The city pretends it doesn’t have a moon. On these nights, it remembers.

Full Moon isn’t cast. It arrives. Once a month the sky tears open and the old light pours down, and everything that drinks blood or changes skin feels it in their teeth.

For werewolves, it’s a pull in the spine — bones remember wolf. For vampires, it’s a mirror they can finally see themselves in. Game-wise:

Werewolves and vampires on a full moon:

• +2 Strength, Speed, Perception — HUD shows Full Moon icon and gold +2 on those stats, same bonus in fights
• You move faster, hit harder, notice everything

Artifacts finished that night:

• +1 charge — the moon charges them
• +25% power (damage, energy, etc.)
• Debuffs last +1 round — the moon makes curses sticky
• Fight log marks them with (moon) — so everyone knows this wasn’t made on a normal night

Street witches stay inside on full moon. Or they go out to craft, because anything you finish that night is a little cursed, a little blessed, and a lot stronger.
