Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

A character may not attempt Omen Gazing more
than once in any 24-hour period.
Cost: 1 Essence
Dice Pool: Resolve + Occult + Glory
Action: Extended (15 successes required; each roll
represents one minute spent in a trance)
A seer is unaware of events surrounding her while
she is in a trance. She is, however, aware of anything that
touches or affects her body directly.
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The vision fails automatically and
the character cannot try again for 24 hours.
Failure: No successes are gained for the minute. If no
successes are gained in three consecutive rolls, no vision
comes, although another attempt can be made.
Success: The character catches a glimpse of a potential
event in her near future — anywhere from 24 hours
to one week. The vision lasts for roughly a turn’s worth
of viewing — enough time to watch a man gun down a
packmate, a car carrying a loved one swerve and crash or
an elder hail a dangerous spirit. The vision is usually clear
enough to make out details, though the details might be
misleading. For example, a body face-down in the river,
wearing a packmate’s jacket, might turn out be the corpse
of a friend who borrowed the jacket. This Gift is a means
of gaining a potential warning, nothing more.
Exceptional Success: The vision lasts for up to a minute.
INSPIRATION GIFT S
Inspiration is the meat and drink of great heroes.
It provides sustenance for flagging warriors, a fire in the
heart fanned from mere embers. Werewolves who use
these Gifts gain courage even in the face of extreme
danger, and the spirit of Inspiration can entwine an entire
pack in the unity of heroism. The Blood Talons possess
particular affinity with Inspiration; it’s likewise a favorite
of many Cahalith and Rahu. Teachers of these Gifts
include various Lunes and ancestor-spirits.
The Right Words (•)
Sometimes keeping a pack in line or a soldier’s morale
up hinges on knowing just what to say. A stirring speech,
a well-placed compliment or even just remembering the
new guy’s name can bring confidence and a will to strive
against adversity.
Cost: None
Dice Pool: This power requires no roll.
Action: Reflexive
The character gains +2 to all Social rolls made to
encourage or mollify. Social rolls to bully and threaten are
not affected. The effects last for a scene.
Camaraderie (••)
There is strength in unity. Unfortunately, suspicion
and personal agendas beget division. Easing tensions is a
key step in binding comrades to a common purpose, even
if that common purpose is simply not killing each other.
Cost: None
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Persuasion + Wisdom
Action: Reflexive
To activate the Gift, the user speaks to his fellows
about the need to set aside differences to work for a greater
goal. Depending on the situation, this may be a few quiet
words or a grand oratory. If successful, all listeners gain
a +1 modifier to Resolve + Composure rolls to resist the
Death Rage for the scene. In addition, if any of the subjects
assist one another on a specific action during the scene
(see “Teamwork,” World of Darkness Rulebook, p. 134),
contributors each gain a +1 modifier to their rolls to help.
True Leader (•••)
Few things inspire a pack like an alpha who leads
from the front. In a crisis situation, the true leader shouts,
“Follow me!” and her heartened allies do just that.
Cost: 1 Essence
Dice Pool: Manipulation + Expression + Glory
Action: Instant
To activate this Gift, the werewolf must lead his
followers and allies into an obviously dangerous situation,
putting herself at least as much at risk as those she leads.
Battle is the most common scenario, but in any case the
enemy or threat must appear at least as strong (or stronger)
in order for the Gift to work at all.
For each success rolled, a point of Willpower is
awarded to all of the user’s allies within 100 feet (even if
the result exceeds their Willpower dots). This Gift may
be used only once per day on a subject, and any unspent
Willpower gained from this Gift is lost at the end of the
scene.
Spirit Skin (••••)
Werewolves are creatures of spirit and flesh, but using
this Gift manifests that spirit side in the physical world
for all to see. The werewolf exudes a perceptible cloak
of authority and spiritual power. The appearance of this
mantle varies by the werewolf’s nature. A wrathful warrior
might glow with an inner fire and be shrouded with wisps
of vapor, while a harmonious, introspective leader may exude
an aura of dignity and calm. However it manifests, the
werewolf can inspire awe or terror in those around him.
Cost: 1 Essence
Dice Pool: This power requires no roll.
Action: Instant
The character’s dots in his highest Renown are
gained as a modifier to Social rolls to impress, persuade,
inspire or intimidate for the scene. This modifier does
not stack with any Social pool modifiers gained from
Renown (see p. 78). Opponents must succeed at a
Composure + Primal Urge roll at a penalty equal to the
character’s highest Renown in order to attack the were-
