I) CHARACTER CONSTRUCTION
Basic Abilities
A) Rage—The measure of the reserves of one's Beast. This END Reserve is used to fuel a number of powers, to provide the werewolf with extra phases/Turn, and to change one's form. Werewolves can purchase the Rage END Reserve up to 100 END, but the starting value of the Reserve depends on the werewolf's auspice.
Auspice | Beginning Rage END |
---|---|
Ragabash (New Moon) | 10 |
Theurge (Waning Moon) | 20 |
Philodox (Half Moon) | 30 |
Galliard (Waxing Moon) | 40 |
Ahroun (Full Moon) | 50 |
The REC occurs at a rate of 10 END/phase, but only occurs under the following conditions
Condition | Amount END Recovered |
---|---|
Seeing the moon for the first time: | |
New Moon | 10 |
Waning Moon | 20 |
Half/Waxing Moon | 30 |
Full Moon | 40 |
Moon phase is the same as one's auspice | All END recovered |
Stressful situations (failing badly at tasks) | 10 |
Humiliation | 10 |
Confrontation | 10 |
Rage—END Reserve, up to 100 END, 10 REC, REC only functions in particular situations (upon first seeing the moon, when humiliated, when in tense, stressful situations, -1/4), Rage END cannot be spent in the same phase as Gnosis END (-1/4)
Active Cost: 1/10 END + 10
Real Cost: 0.8/10 END + 8
B) Gnosis—A measure of a werewolf's connection to Gaia. It determines the ability of a Garou to Step Sideways, and also powers some of his Gifts.
Breed | Beginning Gnosis END |
---|---|
Homid | 10 |
Metis | 20 |
Lupus | 30 |
Conditions | Amount END Recovered |
---|---|
Meditation | EGO roll, 10 points recovered/hour/point by which roll is made |
Sacred Hunt Ritual | All END recovered |
END Reserve, up to 100 END, 10 REC, REC only functions in particular situations (once/week meditation, after a Sacred Hunt, -1/2), 10 to 20 points of Gnosis END not available for use if Garou is carrying silver (-1/4), Gnosis END cannot be used in the same phase as Rage END (-1/4)
Active Cost: 1/10 END + 10
Real Cost: 0.66/10 END + 7
C) The Many Forms—This is the ability of the Garou to change shape. Multiform is used to represent this ability, with the different forms having the abilities listed for each below (in addition to the abilities of the base form). The Garou can instantly assume the form of choice if he spends Rage END, or he can assume form by making a Power Skill: Primal-Urge roll (CON-based skill) at --1 per form between his current form and the one he wants. Assuming one's breed form with the latter method is at +10 to the Primal-Urge roll. The powers for each form given below assume a homid breed. For the lupus breed, switch Werewolf Toughness and Regeneration in the Lupus form with Rapid Healing in the Homid form. Metis breeds have Werewolf Toughness and Regeneration in every form.
The Many Forms—Multiform, Variable Limitation (Requires Power Skill: Primal-Urge roll, or Costs Rage END, -1/4), Reversion (to breed form if STUN and BODY reduced below 0 and not healed by "Remaining Active" power, -1/4 for weaker breed form, +1/4 for stronger breed form), Must follow Homid -> Glabro -> Crinos -> Hispo -> Lupus progression (-1/2), Multiform affects body only (clothes are shredded or lost if change involves significant changes in size, -1/2)

Rite of the Fetish—This rite binds a spirit permanently into an object to create a magic item. The Garou must make a contested roll of some sort against the spirit's EGO roll, and the KS: Mystic Rites roll serves as a complementary skill roll for this. The resulting item is built as any power appropriate to the bound spirit with the Focus (usually OAF) limitation, and a Variable Limitation (Requires Gnosis Activation roll of, at most, 14-, or Costs Gnosis END, or Increased END [2x, with the extra END coming from the Gnosis END Reserve], -1/4)
Alternative rule: Since fetishes can be used by Garou other than the manufacturer, fetish effects can be built with the Usable On Others advantage (One or more others, not usable simultaneously unless more than one such item is produced, Ranged, possibly Reduced END and Persistent), which usually ends up being +1 1/2, with the Differing Modifiers option (HERO System Fifth Edition, p. 177). In addition, the character must buy the Uncontrolled advantage for making the fetish, to eliminate the restriction on the range at which the item can be used. Fetishes produced this way can take a limitation for the amount of time required to make the fetish at half value.
Rite of the Totem—This rite binds a totem spirit to a group of Garou. The Ritemaster makes his KS: Mystic Rites roll, goes through some other rigamarole, and the members of the pack looking for a totem pay the points for the Contact and the extra characteristics and abilities.
