Cybernetics

Cybernetics.

Fetishes but done with weaver spirits and mechanics. These Fetishes are regarded as an abomination by the spirits and the Garou alike, though some Fera are more forgiving. Placing Cybernetics into one's body is very much placing a part of the Weaver into your very Wyld body. (Cybernetics are part of Stasis and Changers are all about evolution and growth.) Once these were only really used by the Glasswalker, Cyber dogs, but their use has spread especially to the Were-spiders; Who don’t have as many hang-ups about the weaver as the other Fera, Ronin wolves; who have few paths to power available to them, and Ratkin; who are just kind of crazy. The use of Cybernetics is a sin, but proponents of the technology would say that the old way of fighting has led to the Fera fighting a losing battle.

Cybernetics act as fetishes, except they may never be un-attuned unless someone severs the limb they are attached to.

In addition, the renown requirements for a Cyber Changer to Rank up are 5 higher per level. The Spirits view you as an abomination.

Machine Frenzy: Any time a Changer with Cybernetics is damaged in a scene, at the end of the scene they must make a Conviction test with the storyteller. Difficulty is equal to the amount of cybernetics the Changer has in them. Failure on this test results in them entering a “Machine Frenzy” they will immediately begin working towards some new goal, determined by the story teller for the remainder of the night. They will think only of the great machine. All for the Machine. The Machine is good. The Machine is love. The Machine will grant us absolution for our sins… The Machine is life..

Cybernetics transform with the Cyber-Changer but always look out of place.

Powers that end frenzies give the Cyber-Changer another test.
