Quelltext der Seite Lathos - Gaben


=Rang 1 =
== Create Element ==
Der Garou kann eine kleine Menge eines der vier grundlegenden Elemente - Feuer, Luft, Erde oder Wasser - erschaffen. Auf diese Weise kann ein Garou die Luftversorgung in einem luftdichten Raum auffüllen, einen Stein zum Werfen erschaffen, ein Feuer ohne Streichhölzer oder Holz entzünden oder eine Badewanne ohne Wasserhahn oder Rohre füllen. Edelmetalle (insbesondere Silber) können nicht erschaffen werden, ebenso wenig wie tödliche Gase oder Säuren. Diese Gabe wird von einem Elementargeist gelehrt.

== Primal Anger ==

    The Lathos learns to focus the anger within her heart and use it to increase her Rage. The anger takes a physical toll on the werewolf, and it is up to her to unleash it on her enemies. The spirits of ancient Lathos teach this Gift. Few members of other breeds have suffered enough shame and suffering to learn this Gift.

       From: WW20
        The Lathos gives of herself to feed the Rage in her heart, burning away her very blood and muscle in the process. The spirits of ancient Lathos teach this Gift; few members of other breeds have endured enough shame and suffering to learn it.
        System: The character may inflict a single level of aggravated damage on herself once per scene, and gain three points of Rage in exchange (even if doing so takes her beyond her permanent Rage rating). 
        Taught by: Ancestor spirit

== Rat Head ==

    Lathos are born into a world where they metaphorically don't belong; it seemed only natural to rat-spirits to teach them to get into such places in the literal sense as well. This Gift renders the Lathos's bone structure collapsible, allowing her to squeeze through any gap she can fit her head into.
    System: The player spends one Gnosis and rolls Dexterity + Athletics (difficulty 7). For the rest of the scene, the Lathos may squirm through any gap she can fit her face
    into, moving at her walking speed to do so.

== Sense Wyrm ==

    The Garou can sense manifestations of the Wyrm in the nearby area. This Gift involves a mystical sense, not a visual or olfactory image, although Garou using this Gift are likely to say, "This place stinks of the Wyrm." This power requires active concentration. This Gift is taught by any spirit servant of Gaia.
    System: The Garou rolls Perception + Occult. The difficulty for this Gift is based on the concentration and strength of the Wyrm's influence (sensing a single formor in a room would have a difficulty of 6). Vampires can be sensed using this Gift, but only those with Humanity scores lower than 7.

        From: WW20
        The werewolf can sense nearby manifestations of the Wyrm. This Gift involves a mystical sense, not a visual or olfactory im- age, although Garou often describe the Wyrm's spiritual emanations as a stench. This Gift doesn't necessarily sense dedication to the Wyrm, merely contact with its spiritual essence, which can cling to even blameless souls. Sense Wyrm requires active concentration; the spiritual sense it provides doesn't function passively. The Gift may be taught by any Gaian spirit.
        System: The player rolls Perception + Occult. The difficulty depends on the concentration and strength of the Wyrm's influence: sensing a single fomor in the next room would be difficulty 6, while detecting the stench of a Bane that was in the room an hour ago would be dif- ficulty 7. Vampires register as Wyrm-tainted, save those with Humanity ratings of 7 or higher. 
        Taught by: Gaian spirit 
        From: Damien
        System: The player rolls Perception + Lore (replacement for Technology Knowledge) 

== Shed ==

    The Garou knows the trick of shedding and growing fur at an alarming rate. This gift makes the Garou especially hard to grapples successfully; opponents find themselves holding tufts of fur instead of their target. The Garou can also slide through tight spaces using his shedding fur as natural lubrication. A Lizard-spirit or Snake-spirit teaches this Gift.
    System: The Garou may use his slick outer coating to avoid being grappled. With a successful Dexterity + Primal Urge roll (difficulty 7), he can free himself from any successful grappling attack. The fur also reduces by two the werewolf's difficulty whenever he squeezes through tight spaces or slips restraints, such as handcuffs.

=Rang 2 =
== Burrow == 
    The Garou can burrow a tunnel into the earth. The tunnel is relatively permanent, and other can follow the Garou through it, although it is tight and only one person at a time can go through. However, no being larger than the Garou can travel the tunnel. The Garou must be in Crinos, Hispo or Lupus form to use this Gift, but the tunnel will only be as large as the form he assumed while burrowing it (only Lupus- or smaller-sized beings can travel a tunnel burrowed by a Garou in Lupus form). The tunnel is not structurally sound and will collapse over time. This Gift is taught by a Mole-spirit.
    System: The Garou rolls Strength + Athletics against a difficulty depending on the substance to be excavated (4 for loose mud, 9 for solid rock). One yard per turn can be burrowed for each success.

== Curse of Hatred ==

    The Garou may verbalize the hatred in her heart, disheartening opponents with the intensity of her emotion. This Gift is taught by a spirit of Hate.
    System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Expression (difficulty of the opponent's Willpower). If the Garou succeeds, her opponent lose two Willpower points and two Rage points. This may only be used on an opponent once per scene.

== Form Mastery == 
(Lathos Rank 2)
    This Gift empower the Wyld spark that resides in all Garou, granting the character greater control over her shapeshifting abilities. A wolf-spirit teaches this Gift.
    System: When shapeshifting (see p. 285), all difficulties are reduced by 1, and the player no longer needs to roll a single success just to initiate the transformation (thus, shifting from Homid to Glabro would be difficulty 5 and
    require only one success). Additionally, when enacting partial transformations (see p. 286), the player need no longer spend a Willpower point, and the difficulty of the roll is 7. This Gift's effects are permanent.
    Taught by: Wolf spirit 
    Book: WW20

== Grovel ==

    By calling upon the behaviour ingrained into Garou by the Litany, the possessor of this Gift can all but force an attacker to accept their surrender. This does not mean the attacker will leave the Gift user alone. They may continue to watch you and may verbally berate you, but they will not harm your as long as you do not initiate any attack. This Gift lasts for a scene and is taught by any Canine spirit.
    System: By spending an Gnosis point and rolling Charisma + Performance (difficulty 6, resisted by the other's Rage), the character may effectively surrender. In certain situations, the use of this Gift may induce an Honor loss or an increase in Social difficulties for a time.


== Haunting Stare ==

    The Garou summons her hereditary instability and focuses it into her stare. Going into the eyes of the Lathos leaves the victim choking with horror. An Ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.
    System: The user must spend a turn in concentration to focus her will, but the Gift takes effect immediately. Upon making eye contact, the victim must successfully roll her Willpower (difficulty 8) or be unable to act during her next turn. The difficulty to use Haunting Stare increases by one against Garou who are insane (including Silver Fangs). 
    Taught by: Ancestor-spirit 
    Book: Wild West Companion

== Sense Silver == 
    Ahroun are the Garou least concerned by humnans, but even the greatest can be brought low by silver weapons. Thus, the Ahroun have learned to sense when they need to be more cautious. This Gift is taught by a Lune.
    System: The Garou rolls Perception + Primal Urge (difficulty 7). If successful, she can detect the presence of silver. Three successes allow her to pinpoint the silver's location. 
    Taught by: Lune 
    Book: WW20

== Wriggle ==

    Lathos sometimes have to hide in all the wrong places at the wrong times. With this Gift, they can take best advantage of their surroudings to get away and take a breather. The spirit of a Cockroach teaches this gift.
    System: Spend a Gnosis point and the Gift takes effect immediately. For the rest of the scene, no matter what her form, the Lathos can squeeze into a space no less than half the size of her body. Storytellers should make judgements on space limitations. 
    Taught by: Cockroach

=Rang 3 =

== Awaken Beast ==

    This is the old ability out of legends and folklore; the power to change someone else into a werewolf by biting him. If the Gift is successfully used on a victim, their Beast awakens and they begin to Frenzy. The effect lasts for a single scene, although a human bit with this Gift may develop permanent derangements.
    System: After a successful bite attack, the Lathos' player may spend a Gnosis point and roll Manipulation + Primal Urge (difficulty 6) against a resisted roll of the target's Willpower (difficulty 7) - B'et'e may add their Primal Urge score to the Willpower pool. If the attack is successful, the victim begins to Frenzy and will come to believe they are a werewolf.

== Chameleon ==

    Like the Gift's reptilian namesake, the Garou can blend with her natural surroundings. Unlike the lizard, however, the Gift user shifts fluidly with changing backgrounds, thus allowing the Garou to move about and even attack. A Chameleon-spirit teaches this Gift.
    System: The player spends one Gnosis point to activate the Gift. Anyone trying to see the Garuo, even in open ground, must make Perception rolls (difficulty equals the Garou's Wits + Stelath). Failure indicates that the Garou remains undetected. Once the Garou attackes, the difficulty drops by three. Note that the Gift affects only visual senses, and it provides no camouflage for sound or scent. 
    Taught by: Chameleon-Spirit 
    Book: Wild West Companion

== Eyes of the Cat ==

    The Garou may see clearly in pitch darkness. The Garou's eyes will glow a lambent green while this power is in effect. This Gift is taught by a Cat-spirit.
    System: The Garou must state when this Gift is in effect, but there is no roll or cost expenditure. The Garou suffers no difficulty or Dice Pool penalties from darkness.

== Frozen Form == 
(Lathos Rank 3)
    Homids and lupus have no idea what its like to grow up as a Lathos, never changing from Crinos form for years upon years. This Gift, taught by any aerial spirit, lets a Lathos give others a taste of what spending extended time in Crinos is really like.
    System: Spend a Willpower point and roll Stamina + Primal Urge, difficulty 6. For each success, the target must spend one full day in Crinos, consecutively if more than one success is rolled. This Gift works only on other Garou, including Black Spiral Dancers. 
    Taught by: Aerial spirits. 
    Book: GotC

== Mental Speech == 
(Lathos Rank 3)
    The Garou may mentally communicate with another being over great distances. This does not allow mind-reading, but does allow the Garou to use Social Abilities, such as Intimidation, from a distance. The Garou must know the person with whom he is attempting to communicate (although he does not have to be friends with that person). If he does not know the person, he must have something that belongs to that person, such as a lock of his hair. This Gift is taught by a Bird-spirit or any spirit affiliated with intellect.
    System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Empathy (difficulty 8). The Garou may transmit a maximum distance of 10 miles per success. 
    Alternative Versions

        From: WW20
        System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Empathy (difficulty 8) and spends a Willpower point; the effects last a scene. The Garou may transmit a maximum distance of 10 miles per success. 
        Taught by: Bird spirit; Intellect spirit 

== Shell ==

    Consider the state of the Lathos cub. He is outcast from birth, knows this from the moment he can talk, and is trapped within a body that reacts powerfully to his slightest emotional twinge. Once you appreciate this state, it becomes easy to understand how this Gift was first learned. Shell places an emotional and instinctual barrier around the Lathos. A turtle spirit teaches this Gift.

    System: While active, the Lathos cannot use Rage nor acheive any successes on Rage rolls, nor will mind-altering Gifts or magic affect him. However, he can also not attempt any rolls using Empathy or Primal Urge, and suffers a -1 dice penalty on all initiative rolls. 
    Taught by: Turtle 
    Book: PG3e

== Splintered Claw ==

    This painful Gift causes the Lathos' claws to splinter as they piece flesh. Tiny bits of claw imbed themselves deep in the victim's body, thus causing tremendous irritation. Healing such a wound without first removing the splinters is both painful and stupid. Unfortunately the Gift's user loses her claws until she spends a round regenerating new ones. A Tree-spirit teaches this Gift (especially one with thorns or spiky seedpods). Glass Walkers or Bone Gnawers can learn this Gift from spirits living in houses or other wooden constructs.
    System: After a successful attack that causes at least one Health Level of damage, the Garou may spend a Rage point to activate the Gift. Any damage that the target does not soak cannot be healed until he removes the bits of claw. As with all other werewolf claw attacks, the wounds are aggravated. The attacking Garou receives one automatic, nonaggravated wound. The werewolf cannot soak this wound, but can heal it as normal. Until the Garou heals the wound, he has no claws.

=Rang 4 =

== Badger's Heart ==

    Lathos often possess angry hearts, and in their own way, they have a keen understanding of Rage, no matter what their auspice. This Gift allows them to affect the Rage of other werewolves, causing their enemies to expend more of it than necessary. A Badger spirit teaches this Gift.
    System: Spend a Gnosis point and roll Willpower, difficulty 7. Three successes are necessary, but if the roll is made, the target expends twice as many Rage points as he normally would. For example, if Merryk Winterchase successfully uses this Gift on Mari Cabrah while they're in combat, each time she spent one Rage point, she would actually use two, without gaining any benefit of the second Rage point. This Gift lasts an entire day. 
    Taught by: Badger spirits 
    Book: GotC

== Gift of the Porcupine ==

    This Gift allows a Garou's fur to become bristly and sharp like the quills of a porcupine. The Garou must be in Crinos, Hispo or Lupus form. This Gift is, of course, taught by a Porcupine-spirit.
    System: The Garou spends a Gnosis point to sharpen his fur. Anyone whom the Garou body slams, grapples or immobilizes takes aggravated damage from the Garou's sharp fur (Strength + 1). Furthermore, anyone who hits the Garou with bare flesh and scores fewer than five successes takes damage based on the attacker's Strength, although the Garou still takes normal damage. This Gift lasts for one scene or until the Garou deactivates it.

== Lash of Rage == 
(Lathos Rank 4)
    The Lathos harnesses all of the shame, hate, and fury coiled in his heart and lashes out with it, destroying another. Bones snap, organs rupture, and cavities fill with blood as the Lathos's Rage tears the target apart. A spirit of fury teaches this Gift.
    System: The player spends one Rage point and rolls his Rage rating. A target within 100 yards (91 m) takes one level of unsoakable aggravated damage for each success. This Gift can be used safely only once per scene. Any additional uses inflict the Gift's full damage on both the Lathos and his target.
    Taught by: Fury spirit 
    Book: WW20

== Rattler's bite ==

    The Lathos' canines lengthen, and she can inject a deadly poison with her bite.
    Spider- and snake-spirits teach this Gift.

    System: The player spends a Rage point when attempting to bite an opponent. If the bite is successful, any remaining damage after soak is doubled.
    Taught by: Snake spirit; Spider spirit 
    Book: WW20

== Wither Limb ==

    The Garou can cause a target's limb to wither, making it useless. Which limb is withered is the Garou's choice, but is must be an arm or leg. If the victim is a creature with regenerative properties, such as a Garou or vampire, the limb will regenerate whole after one scene. This Gift is taught by a venomous animal spirit or a spirit of Disease.
    System: The Garou spends a Gnosis point and rolls Willpower (difficulty of the victim's Stamina + 4). 

=Rang 5 =

== Madness ==
Lathos struggle throughout their lives to find a place of dignity and respect amidst a minefield of horror and abuse. This Gift allows her to unleash her inner demons upon others, inflicting insanity and madness. The nature of the derangement inflicted varies from individual to individual, but is always severe, making it impossible for the victim to function normally. Lunes and spirits of trickery and madness teach this Gift.

 System: The player spends a Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Intimidation (difficulty equal to the victim's Willpower). The target immediately begins to suffer from a Derangement (see p. 485). The insanity lasts a number of days equal to the successes rolled. During this time, the Lathos can increase or decrease the severity of the madness, granting the victim lucidity and then driving him into psychosis. Even after the Gift has ended, the repercussions may haunt the victim for the rest of his life. 
Taught by: Lune; Trickster spirit; Madness spirit 

== Umbral Body ==
The Lathos body is strange. Born in a form not intended by Gaia or nature, deformed and occasionally showing signs of animals entirely unrelated to man or wolf, it is little wonder the breed has been outcast and hated. But some Lathos have used this body to their advantage, and it is perhaps this strangeness that allow their body to withstand the pressures this Gift inflicts. With this Gift, the Lathos can partially reach into the Umbra, sending certain body parts into the Umbra while maintaining others in the physical world. Doing so makes the Lathos difficult to hit in combat, to say the least. A Pattern spider teaches this Gift.

System: The Lathos rolls Gnosis (difficulty of the local Gauntlet) and if the roll succeeeds spends 1 Gnosis. For the rest of the scene, the Lathos receives one extra automatic success on all Dodge rolls.
