Does Eska's write-up and design represent a shift in how Lunars are going to be depicted, where their hybrid form is no more transformed than what the Merits they can actually acquire imply, so more variety than were-beasts?

(Assuming the plan is still to work up to a final finished book. Maybe you just intend to keep producing them as micro-supplements, I don't know.)

As Eska roams "betwixt the Scavenger Lands and the Dreaming Sea," what, if any, contact does she have with Ma-Ha-Suchi? Is Sublime Danger of the Thousand Daiklave Wings associated with Ma-Ha-Such as a student or ally (or enemy)?
Does "defeat" of an opponent necessarily mean kill for Eska, or just best? Is she trying to kill all of Sublime Danger's other students?

Thanks for answering all our questions!

Is the intent of HBT that you get a pool of points to spend on Supernatural Merits and you can spend more XP to add more until you have enough to build yourself a winged, tailed, scaled, clawed, fire-breathing dragon-man body?
Previous Editions required you to repurchase a such a Charm for another package of points, but that always had the potential to leave you either one point short or with a unwanted surplus.
Both HBT and DBT are listed as Simple type Charms, though DBT has a clause for reflexive activation in tandem with HBT.
Is the intent to encourage Eska to power up all at once whenever possible, and to discourage powering up gradually?
This seems to suggest that activating DBT has a drawback, and I notice that the active Evocation of Eska’s new swords isn’t something she would want to use when wearing her battle-form, while the Evocation which remains useful is passive.
So if Eska had an active-use Evocation, she might be faced with the choice of going straight to DBT in one turn and locking out that Evocation, or only using HBT and keeping access to the Evocation until she takes another turn to go full DBT.

Huh, this is interesting. Are there many other non-Attribute Charms that all Lunars automatically favour?

While emphasizing that they can look like Eska (and Seven Devil Clever? If she spends most of her time in the hybrid form, does that mean it looks more like her art in the core now?) gives recourse to people who didn't like that aesthetic, or at least find it fitting to their character.
And it not being the war form makes it more values neutral now.
They're good changes, and I like them.
