• Death Grip: As the three-dot Full Moon Gift in Chapter

within the human host becomes visible temporarily, which
can warn off other Ridden or interfering spirits from the
spirit’s chosen prey.

Chapter Two.
• Wicked Maw: With the expenditure of one Essence, the
mouth of the host body extends and fills with razor-sharp
teeth for three turns. The maw adds +1 to bite attacks and
inflicts lethal damage, and it’s so large that it enables the
character to make bite attacks without requiring a grapple
and without penalty. The attack roll is a simple Strength +
Brawl + 1 while this Numen is active.

INCARNATION OF THE LIVING CIT Y
Quote: “The city has a heart and a mind. I am the city,
little werewolf, and you are only here at my sufferance.”
Background: The writer loved the city. His biography
of it was a bestseller nationally and internationally. All his
works of fiction had the city as a principal character, scattered
through history. Frankly, as he slipped into alcoholism
and old age, he couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
One night, the city came to him as he slept, and it offered
to stop the pains in his chest. It would take only a moment,
and he would be one with the city. The writer didn’t
hesitate, rejoicing as he was subsumed into the vast history
of the place he loved so much.
Description: From a distance, the Claimed looks
much like any other gentleman in late middle-age, running
to fat a little. It’s only when you come close to the
man and see the rough, sandstone texture of his skin, the
glass of his eyes and the faint hint of grass in his hair that
you can see that he’s more than he appears.
Storytelling Hints: As an incarnation of the living
city, this duguthim really looks at the big picture. He maintains
an awareness of everything that’s happening within
the city and maintains contact with werewolf packs across
the city. He even keeps a wary eye on the vampires and
mages of the city when he can. He isn’t above using the
werewolves for his own ends, but he certainly prioritizes
the humans above the supernatural denizens of his home.

SPIRIT S
WOLF-BROTHER
Quote: [A forlorn, unearthly howl.]
Background: Wolf-Brothers are greater Gafflings in
service to the various totem spirits of the werewolf tribes.
They are representative of the rare spirits who might be
more favorably inclined to assist a werewolf with little
persuasion. They may also be summoned to assist a werewolf
who calls them with the Gift: Spirit Pack (p. 115).
