Werewolf: The Forsaken - Blank It

Action: Instant
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The object loses no Structure
points and the character cannot use Shatter on that same
object again for 24 hours.
Failure: Nothing happens.
Success: For every success, up to one cubic yard of an
object or substance loses a point of Structure.
Exceptional Success: As a success; the extra points
are the exceptional reward.
Condense or Expand (•••••)
This bizarre Gift either shrinks or enlarges an object
while keeping its mass the same. Making an object
larger causes it to become lighter and easier to break, for
example, while making it smaller causes it to become
heavier and much harder to break. The object maintains
its original consistency — woven fibers, for instance,
remain flexible — but both its Size and Durability change.
If the character condenses an object, its Size decreases by
one while its Durability increases by two. If the character
expands the object, its Size increases by one while its
Durability decreases by two. (Size and Durability combine
to form an object’s Structure — effectively its Health — as
shown on p. 135 of the World of Darkness Rulebook, so
a change in either calls for a change in Structure.) The
character must touch the object in question.
If two characters try to use opposing versions of this
Gift on the same object at the same time, the side with
the greater number of successes achieves the desired effect.
If they try to achieve the same effect, their efforts combine.
If they try to do the same thing but either suffers a
dramatic failure, the opposite effect occurs. Objects that
are either condensed or expanded cannot then be affected
by Straighten or Ruin, although Sculpt and Shatter are
still permitted under their normal circumstances. A
character can use this Gift multiple times on the same
object over successive turns as long as the player pays the
Willpower cost and continues to make successful rolls.
If the effects of this Gift reduce an object’s Size or
Durability to zero, the object either disappears as a gas or
collapses under its own weight (respectively). Also, the
subject in question must be a discrete object taking up no
more than one cubic yard of space. Undifferentiated sections
of larger objects cannot be targeted.
The changes made to an object are permanent.
Cost: 1 Willpower
Dice Pool: Intelligence + Crafts + Purity
Action: Instant
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The effect the character seeks is
reversed.
Failure: The object undergoes no change whatsoever.
Success: If the character tries to condense the object,
it loses one point of Size and gains two points of Durability
(resulting in a net gain of one point of Structure. If the
character tries to enlarge the object, it gains one point of
Size and loses two points of Durability (resulting in a net
loss of one point of Structure). If the object could cause
damage to a person or other object from being shrunk
(such as a worn pair of handcuffs or a briefcase containing
a laptop), both the condensed object and the person
or object take four points of lethal damage. If this is not
sufficient damage to destroy or sever whatever is within
the condensed object, the condensation stops. A necklace
so affected would shrink enough to inflict four points of
damage to its wearer but would not keep shrinking enough
to sever the wearer’s head.
Exceptional Success: The change in the object’s Durability
increases by one additional point. That is, if the
character tries to enlarge the object, it loses three points
of Durability. If the character tries to shrink the object, it
gains three points of Durability.
STEALTH GIFT S
Werewolves frequently find great advantage in leaving
no footprints or traces of their presence. Likewise, moving
silently and swiftly is of benefit in both hunting prey and
stalking an enemy. These Gifts represent the preternatural
abilities of werewolves to remain hidden from prying eyes.
The Hunters in Darkness in particular possess affinity with
these Gifts, and any who find a need for furtiveness and
secrecy find them highly beneficial. The spirits of nocturnal
animals or entities are the primary teachers of these Gifts.
Feet of Mist (•)
Sight and sound are not the hardest senses for a werewolf
to defeat, but even a bloodhound would wear its nose
out trailing a werewolf with Feet of Mist. The werewolf’s
scent fades to near-imperceptibility.
Cost: 1 Essence
Dice Pool: This power requires no roll.
Action: Reflexive
All attempts to track or detect the werewolf by scent
are automatically at a –1 penalty (see “Tracking,” p. 178),
even when this Gift is not active. By expending a Willpower
point, the werewolf intensifies the penalty to track
or detect her to –3. The character may consciously suppress
this power if she wishes to lay a normal scent.
Blending (••)
An expert hunter knows the value of not being seen.
A werewolf with this Gift can blend with the landscape
by simply remaining still — overlooked even in the open.
Cost: None
Dice Pool: Wits + Stealth + Cunning versus Wits +
Composure (see below)
Action: Instant or contested
