Changing Breeds
Throughot this document we use Fera, Changer and Garou interchangeably, if there is a difference from one breed to another it will be noted specifically.
Changing Breeds Have Rage and Gnosis instead of Blood.
Rage is equal to Rank + Courage
A Werewolf may spend a Rage to:
- Gain a number of actions equal to (1/2 Rank round down) (this is not a great plan for Rank 1 wolves.) each round.
- Heal 1 lethal per rage or 2 bashing per rage. No action. Done when declaring Rage.
- Change form reflexively (otherwise it takes an action. )
- Activate a Kailindo Gift or Breed Gift that requires Rage.
- A Fera can not spend more rage than their Rank in a single round.
- A Fera cannot spend Gnosis andRage in the same round
Rage is regained when:
- Struck for the first time in a night
- When you see the moon for the first time (Sun for Mokole and Corax)
- When a packmate is incapacitated
- When you are exposed to a rage trigger without your consent ( 1 per rage trigger per night)
Rage Trigger: A thing that forces a Werewolf to make a rage check.
Must be approved by staff. Werewolves have Rage triggers equal to Rank
Rage and Frenzy: If a werewolf has more rage than 2x their Self Control then they lose ties on frenzy checks. If they have three times more then they automatically frenzy when exposed to rage triggers.
Frenzy Garou can Rage frenzy or Fear Frenzy. Rage is governed by Self-Control. Fear is governed by Courage.
Gnosis is used to cast all Rites and activate Spirit Gifts and some Breed gifts. Gnosis and rage cannot be spent in the same round.
Max Gnosis is Equal to Rank + Compassion +1
Health: Fera have health levels equal to 2x their rank +7. (2 xrank) +7.
Base Claw Damage: Is Rank/2 + 1(round up) in Ag (in Bashing if they punch).
Negation: At rank three a Fera may spend a permanent willpower to negate an attack.
Willpower Fera have max willpower equal to 8+rank.
Delirium: When a Werewolf goes Crinos, Unaugmented mortals with willpower below 8 forget they saw a Garou and their minds become fuzzy.
Rank: Rank is a signifier of power and respect among the Fera. Rank goes from 1-5 ( with 0 and 6 as unlikely possibilities)
All Fera start at Rank 1 unless otherwise stated.
Rank determines a Fera’s attribute maxes (Charts are located below and on the Breed Pages)
Gaining Rank: Fera gain rank by accruing renown. Once they qualify for the rank they gain the new rank unless it requires a seeking.
Renown: Renown controls when a Garou gains rank. Garou can be awarded renown directly by a spirit for their role in performing a task or, a member of their pack can speak to their deeds to the caern spirit ( done at the end of the session in front of the whole caern) Fera must gain a certain amount of renown before they can gain a new rank. ( Numbers below are the number of renown needed to gain the next rank, not total)
- Rank 1 - --
- Rank 2 -5 Renown
- Rank 3 - 10 renown
- Rank 4 - 15 Renown and a seeking
- Rank 5 - 20 Renown and a seeking
- Rank 6 - ??? Renown
Harano: When a garou does something awful like murder uninvolved humans, hurt a gaian spirit, slay another of the pure. She must make a Conscience check. Failure results in the garou taking a point of Harano. Harano can be bought off through experience expenditure or the Meditation action. Each point of Harano applies a penalty against the Garou’s Social and Mental traits. Gaining 5 points of Harano results in the Garou becoming unplayable either as a simple monster unable to shift from Krinos or as a recalcitrant depressive
- Krinos: When a Fera goes Krinos his physical traits increase by his rank+1.They can spend a Rage to transform immediately, otherwise, it takes a full Round
- Animal Form The Animal form of a Changing breed is impossible to differentiate from a normal animal of the same breed. A Garou can spend a Rage to transform immediately, otherwise, it takes an action
- Big Fuckoff Animal Form: Also gain Rank+1 in physical traits. Mechanically the same as Krinos, except does not possess hands. Some Fera Posses alternate rules for their BFAF
- Human Form: Human its human
