Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The character’s attempt to cow
the subject fails so miserably that he cannot use the Gift
against that subject again for 24 hours.
Failure: An equal number or the most successes are
rolled for the subject. He stubbornly refuses to reveal the
truth.
Success: The most successes are rolled for the
werewolf. The subject grudgingly does as commanded but
offers no more without further coercion.
Exceptional Success: The most successes — five or
more — are rolled for the werewolf. The subject offers
complete information about the truth as best as he understands
it, even providing details the Elodoth might not
have guessed.
Aura of Truce (•••)
Most Elodoth don’t need to turn to Gifts to fulfill the
role of arbitrator, but sometimes speed is of the essence
or matters are particularly delicate. When the Elodoth
uses this power, a subtle half-moon halo appears in the air
behind her, bathing everyone present in calming, soothing
light. While it shines, tension dissipates and cool heads
have a chance to prevail.
This Gift lasts for one scene, and flaring tempers subside
while it is in use. Opposing parties may disagree and
voices may even be raised in anger, but the power of the
Gift is such that outright hostilities are harder to perform
than normal. In order to commit a violent act — be it an
attack, an attempt to damage someone else’s property or
an attempt to use a Gift against an unwilling subject — a
Willpower point must be spent reflexively for the intended
perpetrator. That participant has free reign thereafter.
His aggressive actions do not necessarily discontinue the
effect for everyone else, but if the Elodoth cannot get the
malcontent under control she is wise to absolve everyone.
If the character using the Gift attacks anyone under its
influence, the power terminates automatically.
The user may choose to terminate the Gift before
the end of the scene, but she cannot do so selectively; the
Gift ends with regard to all participants or to none. Those
affected must be able to see and hear the user directly, and
she must be able to do the same.
This Gift works only before violence has broken out.
Once a fight is underway, the power is useless on combatants.

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: There is little hope for a peaceful
resolution to the proceedings. The Elodoth manages to
offend all parties, and she cannot use this Gift on them
again until the following moonrise.
Failure: The Elodoth has only her wits and her
charm to rely on, but she doesn’t start off on the wrong
foot automatically.
Success: The character suffuses the area with an aura
of calm.
Exceptional Success: Participants under the Gift’s effects
must spend the requisite Willpower for every turn in
which they try to act with hostility, rather than being able
to break the spell with a single expenditure.
Fuel Rage (••••)
A werewolf can remain in the deadly Gauru form
for only so long, based on his Stamina + Primal Urge.
When that time is up, he loses the ability to maintain the
delicate balance between flesh and spirit. The Elodoth,
touched by duality, can learn a greater facility with maintaining
that balance.
Using this Gift before assuming Gauru form, the
Elodoth increases the number of turns in which he can
remain in Gauru form. The Gift must be performed in
the turn immediately prior to that in which the character
changes forms, or it can be used in the same turn if
the change to Gauru occurs reflexively. (Just be sure that
Essence spent in a single turn doesn’t exceed the limit
set by the character’s Primal Urge — see p. 76.) If the
form change doesn’t occur in the character’s same or next
turn, the Essence spent on the Gift is lost and no special
benefits are gained.
Time spent in Gauru increases by a number of turns
equal to the number of successes achieved on a Stamina
+ Occult + Purity roll. These extra turns begin after the
number of turns based on the werewolf’s Stamina + Primal
Urge have elapsed. A werewolf whose time in Gauru
has been extended can still change out of that form at
will. He’s not forced to remain in it, unless Death Rage is
invoked (see p. 173). The power has no effect on a user in
the Shadow. This power does not influence taking forms
other than Gauru. Nor can it be applied successfully more
than once per scene.

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The Gift interferes with the
character’s effort to assume Gauru form, and he cannot
do so for the remainder of the scene unless Death Rage is
provoked in him.
Failure: The Gift has no effect on the subject.
Success: The Gift increases the user’s duration in
Gauru form for one turn per success.
Exceptional Success: The Gift not only has the
intended effect, but it adds one extra turn.
Bind or Sunder (•••••)
Like the Fuel Rage Gift, this power influences time
spent in Gauru form. Unlike that Gift, however, this one
is used on other werewolves to extend or reduce their time
spent in the war form.
